One year, a college in the United States announced that it would offer a lot of money for the pure white marigold(金盏花). The high reward attracted so many people, but in the nature, besides golden, the marigold is brown, and it is not easy to get the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people had forgotten the announcement.

    One normal day after 20 years, the college received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold. It was an old woman of over 70 years old. Some experts in the college doubted it, but in order not to let her down, those seeds finally took root (根）in the earth. The miracle appeared after one year; the field was covered by pure white marigold.

    Therefore, the old woman who was always unknown to the public became a new focus.

    The old woman was a flower-lover. When she read the announcement 20 years ago, she got very excited like others. But her eight children were totally against her decision. After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics(遗传学) couldn't complete what the experts could never do, so her thought was only a day dream.

    Still, the old woman didn't change her mind and went on working. She planted some of the most common seeds and took good care of them. A year later, when the marigold came out, she chose one faintest(最暗淡的) from those golden and brown flowers and got the best seed. The next year, she again grew them and chose...Day after day, year after year, through many seasons, the old woman's husband died, her children flew far, a lot of things happened in her life, but only the wish to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart.

    Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden she saw a marigold, which was nearly white, but as white as silver or snow.

    A problem even experts couldn't deal with was solved by an old woman who didn't understand genetics. Was it a miracle  (奇迹）?

To take root in the heart, even the most common seed, can grow into a miracle!

    I think that a great friend is a great artist who can change my feeling about life greatly. When I talk about the person who influenced me most, I must think of my best friend quickly.

    When I was in my university, one of my classmates sat beside me. His name is Wang Tao. He is my unforgettable friend in my life. He is good at study and handsome. Everyone knows that he is a genius (天才) of my university.

    He is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. But he doesn't like others praising him, because he thinks what he did is common. There is an old saying: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Wang Tao sets a good example in many parts in my life. I remember that my mathematics was mediocre at that time, but he was excellent in solving mathematics problems. He often received high scores. I wished I could reach his level. We talked all day long, and he was patient and polite to answer my mathematics questions. Slowly, I made great progress in mathematics. I passed the examination finally. Then we became friends naturally. And now, I still remember his strong will to study.

    We know that we live in a society, so we all need a lot of friends. There are two kinds of friends, good ones and bad ones. Bad friends may make our life unsuccessful, while good ones make our life successful. To me, Wang Tao is a very good friend. I learned so many advantages from him, and I became more and more excellent.

    We separated three months ago. Now I miss him very much, and I hope that our friendship will continue.

Hello! Good to see you. I'm Emma Smith. I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} actor. This is a photo of my {#blank#}2{#/blank#} , Look! The old woman {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my left is my grandmother. She {#blank#}4{#/blank#} from France. These are my parents. My father is a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and my mother is a nurse. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} work in the same hospital. Who is this beautiful woman? She's my {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . She's my mother's sister. She's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to my mother. Now she lives in Beijing, the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of China. I have a dog. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} name is Bobby. 

I love my family very much. 

Last month, I met a homeless dog when I had a walk with my mother in the park. 1 dog looked dirty and weak with a thin body. I tried to go to him with some food. He shook (摇) his tail and ran 2 toward me. But when he saw 3 mother, he ran away in fear.

I began to pay attention to homeless pets 4 that. Each year, our city has 250,000 homeless 5 and the number has been increasing. What should we do to solve this serious problem? Firstly, the government should pass a law 6 homeless pets. Secondly, , charities (慈善机构) need to 7 money for more shelters (收容所). For the animals living in shelters, we need to provide food 8 medical care.

The problem of homeless pets will change for the 9 if we can work together to create a good world for them. As for me, I will 10 my mother to let me raise a homeless dog this summer. What are you going to do?
