Andrew Engel was puzzled. He was sitting in class, but had no idea what the other students were talking about. He had done his homework, paid attention to lectures. and taken notes, but nothing was familiar." Everyone is se much cleverer than I am, " he thought. It was a strange feeling, as he was always a good student in high school.

    He felt even more puzzled a few days later. He got lost on his way to his favourite cinema. What's worse, he began having trouble finding the right words when speaking. He asked, "What's for dinner, Mum? "after he had just eaten. Poor Andrew, he was only 15！

    His parents were worried and took Andrew to see a doctor. A brain scan(扫描)made it clear: Andrew had a malignant brain tumor(恶性脑肿瘤). It was pressing on the part of the brain that makes new memory. He should be operated on as soon as possible. Andrew was scared！

    Doctors removed the tumor, but Andrew's memory was still poor. He was told he would probably never go back to school. Andrew was eager to enter a university, but it seemed that his dream wouldn't come true.

    "Even though they told me this, I knew I wanted to go back to school, "Andrew said." I wanted to get my memory back. "

    Andrew began to audit(旁听)an English class at a nearby school. In class, he took notes carefully and read his notes several times a day, then typed them again and again. He studied twelve hours a day, seven days a week. He worked ten times harder than other students. In 2007, at age 29, he graduated from a local university. Six months later, Andrew found a job.

    Walt Disney began to make cartoon films when he was a young man. But he didn't have much money then. One day a mouse ran near his desk while he was working in his small office.

    "Would you like to be my pet?" Disney decided to make a cartoon about it.

    "I am making a cartoon about a mouse named Mortimer," he told his wife.

    "Mortimer Mouse? I think Mickey Mouse would be a better name," she said.

    "You are right," Disney agreed and made many Mickey Mouse cartoons.

    People all over the world saw Mickey and loved it. Mickey Mouse made Disney famous. Then came Donald Duck, and Goofy Dog and others. Disney began to make long cartoons. Then he made cartoon films for television.

    In 1955, Disney opened a wonderful amusement park in California. Real boats, castles, trains, mountains, rivers, all are in one beautiful park. Millions of people came to Disneyland.

    He died in 1966, but the world will not forget him. Mickey Mouse and all his cartoons will help us to remember him.

Three students are sharing stories about their favorite teachers.

Near Aunt Rabbit's house, there are five apple trees. She always asks her friends to eat her apples.

One day, a little monkey Jim comes. Aunt Rabbit says to him, "Little Monkey, come and have an apple!" Jim is so happy he likes apples very much. He goes up the trees and gets many apples down. He eats very fast. He thinks they're yummy.

The next day, Jim comes again( 又一次). "Aunt Rabbit, my grandpa is ill. He wants to eat some apples. Can you give me some?"

"Sure! There is a bag of apples. You can take it!" she says.

"Thank you!" Jim says happily. But after(在……之后) he leaves Aunt Rabbit's home, he eats all the apples.

After two days, Aunt Rabbit goes to ask for her bag. On the way, she finds some apple pits ( 核 ). "Jim cheats(欺骗) me!" She thinks. Then, she takes them to Jim's home.

After seeing them, Jim's face turns red and he says, "Sorry".

"That's OK. You are still(仍然) welcome to my home." says Aunt Rabbit happily.
