Bell was a British teacher to deaf people. He was born in Scotland in 1847 and went to school in London. Bell was interested in helping deaf people to learn to speak. He taught people how to use their mouths to make the sounds needed for talking.

    Bell's family moved to Canada in 1870 and to the USA in 1871. For several years he taught the people who could not speak in Boston. But at the same time he was developing a way to use electricity to send the sounds of talking along a wire, and he made the first telephone in June, 1875.

    The telephone developed quickly in the USA over the next few years. The Bell Telephone Company started in 1877, and in 1878 the first telephone centre was built in New York. More than 150,000 people had telephones in their homes ten years later. Bell was a kind man and spent much of his money and time during the rest of his life helping deaf people. In 1922 he died in Canada.

    Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends．They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain．So they can help each other．But neither of them likes to use his head．They're both poor though they work hard．Most villagers have built new houses，but they still live in the low and broken houses．They never find out why．

    Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife．In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive．He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back．They decided to carry some apples to the city．They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1，000kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor．Bad luck!A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived．A few days later they had to sell them at a low price （价格）．They felt unhappy and returned to their village．

    "I can't understand why we sustained （蒙受） losses in business while others always profit （盈利）"Uncle Li asked one day．

    "The tractor was too small"Uncle Wang said without thinking．"We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!"

    "I agree!"said Uncle Li．"How foolish （傻的） we were!"

One cold evening in November, I was walking in the street with my 7-year-old daughter Nora. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Nora stopped and said to me, "Look, Daddy! The poor man is sitting inside a cardboard(纸板) box over there. I think he must be cold and hungry. Can we take him home?"

I don't remember how to reply to her at that time—— {#blank#}2{#/blank#}something like, "That wouldn't really help him." I might make my daughter feel better by {#blank#}3{#/blank#}him an apple. At that time, I found my daughter was no longer a little kid and that she had grown up. A few days later, a newspaper  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that some volunteers tried their best to help others in different ways every Sunday. I decided to join them with my daughter Nora. She was excited about it.

When Sunday came, we got to an old people's home. We first cleaned the floor and then took out the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. After that, we talked with the old people there. Nora learned a lot during the visit.

Qian Xuesen was a great scientist. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} He is also known as "the King of the Rocket." Thanks to his research, China's space technology has progressed in a rapid way.

Qian was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} After graduation, he worked in America for a few years. In the early 1950s, he heard that New China had been founded (建立), and he decided to give up the good working conditions in America. Although the American government tried to stop him from leaving, he succeeded in coming back to China in 1955.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Then it became the leading organization for China's rocket and air travel. At that time, the conditions in China were too hard. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} On April 24, 1970, China's first man-made satellite (卫星), "Dongfanghong I" was successfully sent into the air.

A student of Qian Xuesen, Zhu Yilin, once said, "I learned professional knowledge and working spirit from Mr. Qian. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} When New China needed scientists badly, he returned to help in the rocket industry."

A. I sensed his deep love for our country, too.

B. Who visited Qian Xuesen when he was in China?

C. At the age of 24, he went to America to study.

D. But Qian and his team still faced the difficulties bravely.

E. He is known as "the Father of China's Space Program."

F. In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested starting a special organization.

Martin got an important lesson from his teacher Mr. Lee. He will never forget it. 

One day, Martin and Mr. Lee went out for a walk. They reached a farm where Martin saw a pair of old shoes. They seemed to belong to (属于) a poor farmer who would return after a whole day of hard work. Martin thought of an idea, "Why don't we hide these shoes and wait? It will be fun to watch his reaction (反应) when he can't find his shoes. " Mr. Lee thought about it for a while and asked Martin to put some coins in his shoes. 

The farmer finished his work. As he put his foot in the shoes, he felt something hard. He was amazed to find coins. He took them out and saw if (是否) someone was looking for them. He didn't see anyone, so he kept them in his pocket. He got moved and tears came out of his eyes. 

The farmer looked at the sky, "Many thanks to that unknown person. You help me at the time of need. 

Because of your kindness and help, now I can buy medicine (药) for my wife and bread for my hungry children. "

Martin's eyes were full of tears. Mr. Lee said, "Now tell me what makes you happier. "

 Martin said, "I understand the joy of giving is much more than taking. "
