    Once upon a time, a man punished （惩罚）his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family' s expensive gold wrapping (包装 ) paper. Money was always not enough, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted ( 贴) the gold paper to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.

    The next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"

    As he opened the box, the father was sorry for his earlier behavior.

But after he opened it, he found it was empty and again he was angry. "Don't you know, young lady," he said, "when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package!"

    The little girl looked up at him with tears running from her eyes and said, "Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."

    When the father heard this, he fell on his knees and put his arm around his dear little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

    An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the year of his life. Whenever he was sad or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.

    In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God. This is the most expensive possession (财产) anyone could hold.

I always think my daughter Kendall is the best. When she was only three, she 1  for the people, like a little angel.

When Kendall was five, we noticed that she 2  had a tic(抽搐). When the problem got worse, we took her from doctor to doctor. During the treatment(治疗), Kendall kept on singing. 3  , her tics disappeared when she sang.

When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she would be cured (治愈) soon. However, a(n) 4  thing happened.

At a party, Kendall jumped on Jim for a piggyback ride. But he bent lower than she thought and she jumped higher than 5  thought. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor—on her neck. People sent her to 6  immediately, and she became paralysed (使瘫痪) from the neck down. She couldn't 7  . But to my daughter, the biggest 8  wasn't whether(是否) she would walk again, but was whether she could take part 9  a famous show.

As the days went on, feeling on her left side 10  , but she was still paralysed on the right side of the body. One day, a friend 11  with a microphone(麦克风) and put it on her bed. Every day, Kendall tried hard to pick it up. It was more 12  for her to pick up that microphone than a spoon or a fork.

Sometimes she had to bite a toothbrush to take her mind off the 13  . We all cried because of the pain we saw. But on the day —only three months after her accident — we cried with joy when she sang, 14  she didn't enter the Top of the show.

When she was a little girl, she asked," 15  me?" My heart hurt, but I told her,"Kendall, you have a pure heart, a fantastic voice and a strong mind. You're everything to me."

Eric loves sports. He u{#blank#}1{#/blank#} does some sports at the weekend. Last weekend，he and his friend Jack went climbing t{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. They set off at 9：00 a. m. Without a b{#blank#}3{#/blank#}，they quickly reached the top of the highest m{#blank#}4{#/blank#} in the village. Eric found it was more difficult than he thought. But luckily，the weather was very nice. The sun was shining brightly. They listened to the s{#blank#}5{#/blank#} of birds and took a lot of beautiful photos. They enjoyed themselves very much. 

Mary is studying in a middle school in Shanghai. She likes Chinese {#blank#}1{#/blank#} very much because it is delicious. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Mary is watching the dragon boat race with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} classmates Alan and Henry. 

At noon, they all feel {#blank#}3{#/blank#} so they take a bus to a Chinese restaurant. They want to order (点餐) some Chinese food for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "I don't want to eat hamburgers. They are not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for my health," Alan says. "I'd like some rice and chicken. What about you, Mary?" "Many Chinese say if you eat a dumpling with a coin (硬币), you can get good luck," says Mary. "We will have{#blank#}6{#/blank#}important test next Monday, so I'd like to have some Chinese {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to have good luck." 

"Haha! Mary," Alan says. "You can only eat them {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Chinese New Year." "Oh, I know, but now I want to{#blank#}9{#/blank#}some dumplings," Mary says. "And what would you like to eat, Henry?" 

"I'd like noodles," says Henry. "And I'd like some fish, too. It shows you will have lots of money {#blank#}10{#/blank#}fish sounds ‘yu' in Chinese."
