One day, a poor man was travelling on horseback. At noon, he tied his 1 to a tree and then sat down to eat something.

     A few minutes later, a rich man came along and tied his horse to the 2 tree. “Please 3your horse to another tree,” said the poor man.” My horse is wild. It will kill 4” But the rich man said, “I shall tie my horse as I like!” He tied up his horse and had his lunch nearby.

    After a moment they heard a terrible noise, the two horse were 5. They went up to them, but it was too late. The rich man's horse was killed. “See what your horse has done!” cried the rich man. “You will have to6it.” And he brought the poor man before the judge(法官).

     The judge asked the poor man some questions. But he made no 7. At last the judge said, “This man is dumb(哑的). He cannot speak.” “Oh.” the rich man shouted 8, “He can! He spoke to me when I met him.” “Are you sure?” asked the judge. “What did he say?”

   “He told me not to tie my horse to the same tree 9his horse was wild and would kill my horse.” “Oh.” said the judge. “So he warned you. And can you expect to get money from him?” The rich man said 10 and left silently.

    Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, a distance of about 80 miles. It was late, I was late, and I was driving 1.

    At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was 2 on the road by now, but as I came near the light, it turned 3, and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, 4 there I sat, waiting for the light to 5, the only human being, for at least a mile in any 6.

    I started wondering why I 7 to run the light.  I was not afraid of being caught, because there was 8 no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no 9 in going through it.

    Much later that 10, after I'd met with a group in Lewisburg and had climbed into bed near midnight, the question of why I'd stopped for that light 11 me. I think I stopped 12 it's part of a contract (契约) we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to follow 13: we don't go through red lights.

    We do 14 we say we'll do. We show up when we say we'll show up.

    I was so 15 of myself for stopping for that red light. And as no one would ever have known what a good person I was on the road from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, I had to tell someone.

    Jane is a lovely girl and likes small animals. She often walks to school. There is a pet shop near her home.

    On 1 way back from school every afternoon, She always stops in front of the pet shop to 2 the animals. She likes the 3 there. One of them is a little white dog and Jane likes it 4. She likes watching the white dog 5 in the cage. So she often forgets the time and goes back home very 6. But her parents don't know the 7.

    One day, her parents asked 8 she was late. Jane told them about the dogs in the pet shop.

    The next day, Jane 9 to watch the dogs as usual, but she could not 10 the white dog. She was very 11 and went home early. When she got home, her mother 12 her a big cake and her father 13 her a present.

    It was the white dog. How 14 she was! It was her birthday. Jane was very happy. From that day on, she did not come home 15 any more. She ran home early to play with her dog.

She is a young girl. She has sweet and bright smiles like 1angel's. She has short hair and a beautiful face. She is Stephanie. What makes her different from 2 singers? It's her special voice. No one else can sing3 her.

    She was born in Singapore. When she was young, her father told her 4 people should be good at something in their lives, 5they could have something to do as a hobby. She chose 6 to play the piano. She worked hard to play it7.

    She has made eleven albums and 8 many awards 9 she got into the music world. Then she felt 10 because she worked too 11. She stopped 12 for a year. She thought 13 necessary for her to have a good rest and hoped she could make better music when she 14 back. Now she has returned with better music than ever. Today, she is one of the 15singers in Asia.

    When I was 19 years old, I worked in a doctor's office as a medical assistant. I was shy and didn't 1  myself, so I  2 talked with others.  I was uncertain about my future.

    I met a doctor there and became good friends with him. He 3 me to believe in myself and asked me to learn to communicate with others. He helped me accept 4 , and then he encouraged me to5 one or two college classes. I did as what he told me and did very well.

    One day, he asked me where I wanted to go ten years later and 61 wanted my life to be like. I hadn't thought about this before that day. That night I 7 thought about the two questions. It was he that made me 8a different world.

    Later, I went to college and realized my9was to be accepted into a physician assistant training program. Unluckily, it was very 10and I couldn't afford it, I wanted to 11. When my dream was about to slip away, this wonderful man took me out one evening into a bar, bought me a bottle of beer, and offered to help me pay for my college education. He did it 12 asking for anything in return.

    A few years later, I asked him why he helped me. He said," 13 I knew you could be more than what you were, and because once, when I wasn't sure whether I could succeed and didn't have the money for school, 14 helped me."

    After hearing his words, I was shocked. I said, "Thank you, Joe! I will 15 the love to others!"
