The Sweetest Sight

    I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.

    It was an amazing week for my husband and me –the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my1to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to 2our two children and started off.

    During the week's time,3visited London and Paris –as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.

    On our last night in Paris,4we enjoyed the night view(夜景) of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother5the phone. In a second, my husband's face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something 6happened.

    "What's wrong?" I asked.

    He didn't answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said 7to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and 8his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.

    At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm(魅力).

    "I don't want to be here! I shouldn't be here! I should be home 9 my kids!"

    We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …

    Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children's bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no 10 sight(风景)in the world than your children's faces that greet you at home.

    Hello! My name is Anna. I'm ten. My 1  is Alice. She is 38. My father is Sam. He is 2 ,too. They teach(教书)in a 3. I have a 4 and a brother. My sister is Betty. She is a nice 5. She is 5. The6 is my brother Tony. I have 7 uncle. He is 35. My aunt is 33. 8 ! 9 the boys? 10are David and Bill. They are my cousins. They are my uncle's sons.

One day, I walked into a stranger (陌生人) as he walked by me. "Oh, excuse me." I said. He said{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a smile, too. "Please excuse me, too. I wasn't watching out for you." We apologized (道歉) and went our own ways.

Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I reached for some milk, I nearly knocked (撞){#blank#}2{#/blank#}(she) over. "Move out of the way." I shouted. She walked away sadly. But I didn't feel like {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(say) sorry to her.

While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, "Dealing with{#blank#}4{#/blank#}stranger, you were polite (礼貌的), but with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(bring) you some flowers that she picked for you this afternoon. You'll find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?"

I{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(quiet) went in and put myself down by my {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(daughter) bed. "Honey, I am so sorry." I said, "Are these the flowers you picked for me? She said, "I found them by the tree. I picked them {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (three) blue one." I tearfully replied, "Sweetie, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn't have shouted at you." "It's okay. I love you anyway." she said as she kissed me on my cheek.

If we can be polite to a stranger, why can't we be kind to the ones we love? I come to understand that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (important) thing in life is the love between people.

Over the past 6 years, Zhang Chaofan has given away 1.35 million yuan and raised 5.2 million yuan from the public to help more than 400 people with health problems—including teachers with cancer (癌症) and disabled children in poor families—learn traditional Chinese culture.

Zhang, 29, was born without a left arm in Changchun, Jilin, but her hard work to become stronger has encouraged many people. She was chosen along with 67 other honorees (领奖人) to receive the Eighth National Ethical Role Model award (第八届全国道德模范提名奖) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on November 5th, 2021.

In 2015, Zhang set up a handwriting and painting school in Changchun. When she found that some parents were unable to pay for their children's education, she made the lessons free and began providing 300, 000yuan every year to help them.

In early 2020, her school was made to suspend all courses because of COVID-19 (新冠肺炎) but it didn't stop her from helping the poor families. She raised more than 8.9 millionyuan and gave them away to Hubei hospitals.

"Women in the new times should have the courage to create value and also have a sense of social duty," she said. "It is my great honor to be chosen as a model. This will become a driving force for me to move ahead and keep helping the poor and the disabled."

Mr. Evans lived in a city. He was a maths teacher three years ago. His students liked him. He decided to work in the middle school all his life. But a terrible accident 1 his life. 

One spring he took his class to visit an interesting place. The children saw a lot of 2 things. But on their way to school, a truck hit their bus because the young driver was drunk. Five students

3 and more than half of the students were hurt in the accident. He didn't know how it happened and was very sad about it. After he came out of hospital, he left school and became a         4 . He tried his best to stop the drivers from breaking the traffic rules. He worked hard and was strict with the drivers. So they were afraid of him. 

One afternoon it was very hot. Mr. Evans was 5 . He was standing at the crossing. Suddenly he saw a car rushing towards the crossing. It ran so fast that it almost hit a man on a bike. He stopped it at once and saw a girl in it. 

" 6 your license to me, Madam," said Mr. Evans. 

The girl gave her bag to him and said, "Please look for it in the bag yourself. I can't see anything without glasses. "

Once there lived a little rabbit in the forest. One day, while the rabbit {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(walk), he saw a river. He saw himself in the river when he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(drink). "Look {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my long beautiful ears," the rabbit said to himself. "I'm so proud (自豪的) of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(they). But look at my legs. They are so short {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they make me look silly. "

After the rabbit finished drinking, he was ready {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(leave). {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(sudden), he found a tiger running towards him. With his short legs, the rabbit began to run as fast as he could. While the rabbit was running, the tiger {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(follow) it. But the tiger couldn't catch up with him at all. 

"I'm safe now," said the rabbit happily when he stopped running. But the tiger appeared again after about five {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(minute). Just before the rabbit wanted to run away, the tiger{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(catch) him by his long ears. So what are your advantages or disadvantages?
