Mr. Brown, a teacher in a primary school, often fell asleep in class, but he didn't want his1 to know and do that. One day he again fell asleep2 .When he woke up, one of the3 , Tom, asked him, “Why did you fall asleep in class just now, dear sir?”

    Mr. Brown's face turned4 . “I…I…The Sungod (太阳神) asked me to visit him in my dream.” he said.

    Tom wanted to say something,5 he said nothing. The next day, Tom also6 in class. When the teacher saw him, he7 Tom up and asked him, “Why did you fall asleep in class and not8 me, Tom?”

    Tom answered with a smile on his9 ,“The Sungod asked me to visit him, too. ” The teacher became10 when he heard this and asked, “What did he say to you, then?” “He told me he didn't see you yesterday.” Tom said.

    I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall 1 looked ordinary. In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or writing notes. One day I asked her 2 aloud the text. When I heard her standard （标准） American English, I looked at her with new eyes. And I remembered her name﹣Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school 3 to attend. I thought it over and filled in her name. Kelly practiced 4 for the competition. However, I was a little worried 5 she was always too quiet. Could she really 6 well in the competition?

    7 the night of the competition, I sat in the front row of the hall very early. I told her to take it easy. Her face turned red and she said nothing. 8 seemed that she was really nervous. I felt upset, but I just patted her on the shoulder and 9 her go to draw lots （抽签）. As a result, she drew No.9 while No.8 was a boy who was very good at giving speeches.

    Sure enough, No.8 was very 10. The whole audience made a warm applause.

    While they 11 about his speech with excitement, Kelly appeared on the stage. I with no courage to look at her. It was her 12 time to go up the stage, so I couldn't be angry with her for any small mistakes. But at that moment, I found 13 I was so afraid of her failure（失败）.

    The strong spotlight and large hall made her so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt 14.

But the moment that surprised me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, "Now, please focus on me."

    Three times in all, louder and louder.

    The whole audience fell silent.

    I could hardly believe that loud voice came from the girl, who was usually soft-voiced and didn't catch attention at all. She gave a perfect speech.

    I think I will never forget this touching lesson which my student taught me-never underestimate（低估） the power of the 15 people.

    Washington was the first president of the United States. He was very 1even when he was still a 12-year-old boy.

    Once a thief2some money from Uncle Post, Washington's neighbor. The door of the house was not broken, and things in the room were in good order. Washington 3that the thief must have been one of the villagers.

    That evening at the villagers' meeting he said, "We don't know who stole the money4.

    God does. God sends his wasp(黄蜂)to tell good from5Every night the wasp flies6us but few people notice it. "Then, all of a sudden Washington waved his band and cried out, "Look！The wasp has landed on the thief's7It is going to sting(叮咬)!"

    Everybody turned to 8the thief. But soon the noise died down. All eyes were 9on a man who was trying hard to drive the "Wasp" off his hat.

"Now we know10stole the money, "Washington said with a smile.

I want to tell you about a very exciting holiday I had. Last December I went to the Ice Hotel with my father. It was in a village of Sweden. 

It was a special hotel made of ice and snow. I read an interesting report about this hotel in a travel magazine and I showed it to my father. He was so excited that we decided to go. 

It was like a dream. We were so surprised. Everything was made of ice. A woman at the door gave us special coats and gloves. We could use them to protect ourselves in the very cold place. There was a garden at the hotel. There we saw a lot of nice sculptures (雕塑). Some artists came to the Ice Hotel and they made them with ice. In the evening we ate at the hotel restaurant. They put the food on ice plates. We had some fantastic fish and a delicious dessert. Of course, it was ice cream!

There was a nice shop there too. I bought a sweater and a cap, but I didn't buy many things because they were very expensive. In the shop, I met a girl named Catherine. She is from France. She wanted to buy a sweater, but she didn't speak English, so I helped her. We became friends. Yesterday I got an email from her with several photos she took at the hotel. It was really a fantastic holiday.
