    John was a manager in a factory. He enjoyed running for exercise around the park when he was free.

    One Sunday afternoon, after running as usual, John 1to go home and had a rest. Just then, he noticed an old woman standing by the road. 2old woman looked around worriedly. John went over and asked what 3 for her. After a short talk. John came to know that she forgot her way home and got lost. Besides, she was very tired and hungry. John called the old woman's son and then took her to the4restaurant.

    In the restaurant, John ordered food and drink for the old woman  5. While eating, sometimes she carelessly sprinkled(撒)food and drink on the table and on her coat. Other customers felt disgusted(厌悲的)at this sight. 6John didn't care about this. He stood up and cleaned the table from time to time 7 silence.

    It took the old woman some time 8 eating. After that, John paid the bill and they were ready to leave when the old woman's son arrived.

Carol has been studying hard and hoping to make progress in her math. Every day she listens {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in class and does math exercises at lunch time. But her grades in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} term were disappointing(令人失望的). "I was really sad when I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the result. I have spent so much time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it, but I don't know{#blank#}5{#/blank#}," she said. One of the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} feelings in the world is that you have done something hard but it doesn't work. For middle school students, it may make you{#blank#}7{#/blank#} helpless if you have studied for months but only take home disappointing grades.

If this {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to you, you need to ask someone {#blank#}9{#/blank#} help. Maybe a friend, a classmate, or your teacher. And also you need to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} patient. Keep {#blank#}11{#/blank#} and in the end you'll get better grades. Good luck!

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."

 Brenda Zhao slowly walked to the center of the stage, in front of hundreds of guests. Dressing {#blank#}1{#/blank#}( she) in a kind of traditional Chinese. clothes called banfu. she completed her coming- of- age celebration. For her, the event on Saturday was the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}( special) in her school life, as she celebrated the big day with her family and friends in a traditional Chinese Han- style ceremony (仪式)."I really like being a part of the Chinese culture. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} this is my first time wearing hanfu, it has always been part of our event," the 18- year- old told China Daily {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( happy).

 In Brenda's opinion, it's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} nice idea to wear hanfu for big days like graduation and becoming an adult. " Hanfu is something that not everyone knows {#blank#}6{#/blank#}( good), so we set up the hanfu club to spread our culture. If more and more people join the club, they {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( fall) in love with it," she said.

As a Chinese American, Brenda has been working as a student volunteer {#blank#}8{#/blank#} three years, promoting(促进) Chinese art and culture in New York City. She is also one of the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( student) who have won the President's Community Service Award this year.

"I really love working with the community and with my volunteers," she said." They also encoura ge me {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( keep) going."

A woman inherited(继承) a clothing store after her sister passed away. The woman already had a job of her own, but she decided {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( run) the store on weekends. 

 The {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ( one) day she opened the door, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} old woman came in and looked at things here and there. However, she didn' t buy anything. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the woman asked why, the old woman said, "Well, I like {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( this) things, but I don't have enough money. "

"I have enough money, so I can give some clothes away, " the woman thought to herself. So she let the old woman {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( have) the clothes for free. 

 Soon people told each other {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the" free clothing store" and went there. She would give them clothes. But one day, she went in to open the store and sadly {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( find) that there was nothing left inside. 

 It's a good thing to help others when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} are poor or in need. But we must also be careful. Try your best to decide who {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ( real) needs help.
