     Nadia Comaneci，a famous gymnast （体操运动员），was born in Romania in 1961．

    When shewas doing cartwheels （侧手翻%）on the playground at the age of 7，a PE teacher saw her．He told her family that she was very good and advised Nadia to train in the capital of Romania．Although it was a long way from her home，Nadia went because she loved gymnastics （体操）．

    After that，she trained hard and took part in lots of competitions．In 1975，she was named as one of the Athletes of the 20th Century．

    In 1976，Nadia went totheOlympicsinCanada．She was so fantastic in the competition that everyone waited for the score，a high score．But the scoreboard showed1，00!

    Everyone was surprised．There wasn't a sound for a moment．Then a voice came，"Ladies and gentlemen，Nadia Comaneci…10!"

    The audience（观众）cheered very loudly．So what happened？Well，when the scoreboard was built，no one thought a score of 10，00 was possible．The decimal point （小数点）was in the wrong place!In fact，the scoreboard only had three digits（数位） to show scores，such as 9.50 or 9.85 at that time．

    In the 1976 Summer Olympics．Nadia Comaneci scored a perfect 10，which was thought impossible before．From then on，she was looked as a hero．In 1984，she got retired（退休的）．

    Jack thought himself a basketball fan. He watched quite a lot of American NBA basketball games. Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play. He was, of course, under much stress himself, like everyone else. A good exam result meant a good high school; a mediocre(平庸的) score meant a mediocre school. Much was at stake. However, he loved basketball so much that he still found time to play, this time with a group of guys who were said to have skipped classes(逃课) before.

    Some of his teachers started worrying about him. They asked his mother to go to school to let her know that Jack was hanging out with problem kids. When his mother returned home that day, she wanted to talk to Jack. Knowing the purpose of her visit to the school, Jack thought his mother would punish him for befriending those bad guys. To his surprise, his mother was not angry with him at all. She wanted to hear her son's side of the story. So Jack told his mother about what he knew of Simon and Peter. Simon's parents were badly ill; Peter's father had lost his job. They both seemed to Jack to be normal kids. Jack's mother thought for a moment, then went on to say that she was OK with her son playing with them and that she and her son should think of ways to help these kids. Soon Jack's mum introduced some part-time jobs to Simon and Peter, which they accepted. She believed in her son and cared about those who were less lucky.

    Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch. He knows Peter is now a manager of a local bank.  Simon is currently a freshman at a university. Sadly, it is impossible to get together to play basketball again, but whenever they get on the phone, they talk about it all the time.

It's very important to keep (保持) safe at any time! Many students {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the US always take the school bus to school every day. Parents think that taking the school bus {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) very safe. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} sometimes it is also dangerous. Some

students were injured(受伤) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they didn't follow the school bus rules(规定). {#blank#}5{#/blank#} are the school bus rules?

●Arrive at the bus station {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (early).

●Wait for the bus at the bus station.

●Don't run here and there at the bus station.

●Don't walk {#blank#}8{#/blank#} fight on the bus when it is going.

●Don't get off the bus if it doesn't stop.

These rules are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) for students. Remember them and don't break (打破) {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they). So you can keep yourself safe.

"Simply avoid her. " Abby listened closely, as I continued, "If she says any more 1 things to you, I'll go to your teacher. I'll make sure you are never in a (n) 2 where you have to sit next to her again."

At that time, Allyson, my then eight-year-old, came to 3 us and listened to every word. Neither of my daughters interrupted (打断) as I finished my heartfelt speech, filled with 4 wisdom. Then, as I was telling them what I thought right, Allyson's real words of 5 came about. "Mom," she said, "I was just thinking. Maybe Abby should be that girl's 6 so that she can bear (容忍) her. In that way, she can let that girl see forgiveness (谅解) and 7 through her."

Hmm, I became the 8 . At that moment, I realized that although I was wearing the "mother's hat", the "hat" certainly didn't make me 9 all the time. In fact, I wanted to pull that hat over my face and hide myself so that they couldn't see my 10 look. 

"Yes, that's a good point," I commented (评论), 11 a half smile at my girls. "Abby, you deal with this situation the way you think is right. " "OK, " she said, giving me a quick hug before walking out of the door and off to school. "Bye, Mom! " Allyson called, 12 her big sister to go out of the door. 

I was left alone—in my slippers (拖鞋). In those following 13 moments, I was lost in thought. I did feel 14 my two amazing daughters—small in size but big in heart. Sometimes our children have great lessons to teach us—15 we are willing to listen. 

That lesson came more than ten years ago, and I'll never forget how much I have learned from my children. 

This story took place during the Warring States (战国) period. At that time, kings would often 1 each other's sons as hostages (人质) to protect their kingdoms (王国).

Now it was the prince of Wei's turn. He was going to Handan, the capital of Zhao, as a hostage. Pang Cong, an official, was going with him. Before they 2 , Pang Cong said to the king of Wei, "If someone comes to report that he has 3 a tiger in the market will Your Majesty (陛下) believe it?"

"Of course not," the king answered.

"If another man comes to say the same thing, will Your Majesty believe it?"

"I'll start to 4 about it."

"Then, what if a third man comes with the same report, Your Majesty?"

"Maybe I will think it is 5 ."

"Well, we all know that no tiger dares to go to the market. But since three men have said the same thing, everyone now 6 that there is a tiger there. Handan is much 7 from our capital than the market is from the court (王宫), and more than three people will talk against me behind my 8 . When I'm away, Your Majesty will not fail to judge (判断) what you hear, will you?"

"I know 9 to judge," the king said impatiently.

Then Pang Cong said 10 to the king and left Daliang, the capital of Wei, with the prince. But as soon as he had left, the king's ears were 11 with words against him.

After a few years, when Pang Cong 12 to Wei with the prince, the king would not see him again. He was no longer 13 .

So, "three liars (说谎的人) make a 14 " is used to say that if a lie is 15 often enough, people may start to believe it, even though it is not a fact.
