A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around a shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered,“Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.”The boy was surprised.“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy, I wish…”He hesitated(犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,”the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again,“Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh, yes, I'd love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said，“Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again,“Will you stop where those two steps are?”the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little diabled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is. Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it...then you can see for yourself all nice things in the Christmas window that I've been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

     In life, people come across many experiences, which they remember all their lives. I had a similar experience, too.
      It was the day of my last paper of the final exam. My uncle had invited me to spend my vacation with him. I was especially excited about the invitation that my uncle had given me to stay with him for a few days in Cambridge.
       On that day we got into our classroom. The teacher quickly handed out the paper. The exam would last two hours and some of the expected questions came. I finished it almost forty-five minutes earlier. But since it was a rule not to collect the paper before the allotted（规定的）time. I had to sit till the teacher collected the paper. I checked my paper twice and corrected some of the mistakes in it. I started thinking about the place my friends and I had planned to go to after the exam. The time seemed to be endless. So I thought of drawing something on the paper and turned it overleaf. I was shocked to see that the page which I had supposed to be blank had four more questions on it which carried 20 marks and would take at least half an hour to complete. There were only 10 minutes left. I was so nervous that I could hardly write anything. They were the sub-questions（小题）of the last question. Suddenly our physics teacher came in and told all of us that in the last question, out of 6 sub-questions only 2 had to be solved. I felt very relieved.
    From then on, I realized that my anxiousness and excitement could have cost me to lose 20 marks and decided never to make such a mistake again.

Food or friends? Lip salve (润唇膏) or iPod? What is the most important thing in the US teenagers' lives today? Let's take a look.
Some find that they can't do without people.
"My biggest need is my friends. Without them, I wouldn't do much," said Adrian Fernandez, a 14-year-old boy.
With others, food always comes first.
"I do not think that I could live without chili con carne (辣子肉丁). I eat it every day. And if I didn't have it, it's all I would think about," said Max Wu, an 8th-grade boy.
Sometimes, the things teenagers can't do without are strange.
Take 14-year-old girl Hannah Sacchini for example. "I cannot live without lip salve, especially in winter," said Hannah Sacchini. "I go mad if my lips get dry."
Of course, today everybody uses mobile phones and computers. Some teens can't live without these high-tech (高科技的) things.
Justin Beck, a 15-year-old boy, feels like this: "I would not be able to live without my iPod. I use it for so many different things. I always have it with me," he said.
So, now we know the things US kids really must have. What about you and your classmates? What can't you live without?

An old farmer lived with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was always up early to read. One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa! What good does reading do?"

Grandpa quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, "Take this coal basket to the river and bring me back a basket of water."

The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out(漏出) before he got back home. Grandpa laughed, "You'll have to move a little faster next time." This time the boy ran faster, but again the same took place. It was an impossible task.

The old man said, "You're just not trying hard enough." So the boy tried a third time and failed. He said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!"

"So you think it is useless? Look at the basket."

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It had turned from a dirty coal basket into a clean one inside and outside.

"You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read, you will be changed, inside and outside."

Once upon a time, there was a family with 8 children living in a village. Two of the children, both boys, loved painting very much, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the family was so poor that it was impossible to send both of them to study at art school.

After many discussions, the two boys finally came up with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} idea. They would toss (抛) a coin. The loser would go down into the mines (矿井) and support his brother with his pay.

One of the brothers, Albrecht Durer, won the toss and his brother Jack went down the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (danger) mines. Durer worked with all his heart and his paintings were much better than those of most of his {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (teacher). He made a lot of money for his paintings.

Durer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (return). When he told Jack he could go to art college, Jack said {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (quiet), "The four years in the mines has done too much to my hands. It is too late. Now I can't even hold a glass."

To show his love to his brother, Durer drew his brother's hands {#blank#}8{#/blank#} palms (手掌) together and thin fingers towards the sky.

The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, take a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (two) look. Let it be your reminder: No one can ever succeed alone!
