Three students are sharing stories about their favorite teachers.

One year, there was a great famine(饥荒) in the Stage of Qi. Many people were 1 of food. There was a 2 man. His named was Qian Ao. He set up a stall(摊位) by the roadside with lots of food. He waited for hungry people to come and 3 the food to them.

After a short time, a hungry man walked over. He was in 4 clothes and shoes. He lowered(低下) his head. He was so 5 that he couldn't stand up well.

When Qian Ao saw this, he held 6 in his left hand and tea in his right, shouting "Hey! Come and 7 something."

The man raised his 8 suddenly, opening his eyes wide and said angrily, "You are not the only one who shouts at me. I'm really hungry. But I don't want to get food from anyone who shouts at 9 proudly!"

When Qian Ao heard this, he quickly said "10 " to the man. But finally the man died because he wouldn't like to take the food.

Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christ's birth, but most Christians celebrate it on December 25th. On this day, many people go to church，they can take part in special religious services. In Britain, Christmas dinner is eaten at noon. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes. 

One German couple tried their best to prepare for their Christmas decorations in a different way. Thomas and Susanne decorated the outside of their house with a few simple Christmas decorations. From the outside, their house looks normal. However, the inside of the house is so different from the outside. 

They started decorating in October. It took them 8 weeks to set everything up. They put 100 Christmas trees into their small house! They decorate the trees with small coloured electric lights and 16, 000 baubles. 

They did not always have so many trees. In the beginning, they had a small Christmas collection. As time went on, they grew their collection rapidly. They started decorating in early October . It's so special even the bathroom has a Santa Claus toilet seat.
