The Americans were getting ready to send their first man to the moon, an old Irishman (爱尔兰人) was 1 them on TV in a hotel room. There was an Englishman in the room 2. And he said to the Irishman, “The Americans are very 3, aren't they? They are going to send some men to the moon. It's a very 4 way from our world.” “Oh, that's 5,”the Irishman answered quickly.” “The Irishman are going to send some men to the sun in months' 6. That's much 7away than the moon, you know. “The Englishman was very 8 when he heard this. “Oh, yes it is,” he said, “But the sun is too 9 for people to visit.”

    The Irishman laughed and answered, “Well, the Irish are clever, too, you know. We 10 go to the sun during the day, of course. We'll go there during the night.”

    I was on my way to work. Arriving at the station I found my train was 1 because of the bad weather. I had to 2 for two hours at the bus station. A lady sat beside me. I could notice how 3 she looked. She seemed very worried. I asked her if she was waiting for the next train. She didn't 4 . I asked her again. She replied, "Uhuh. Yes." Then she wiped(擦) her eyes.

    I said, "Hey dear, what is wrong? Why are you crying?" She told me her story. She told me that her father 5 the year before. She used to have a job, but she wanted to look after her sick mother who lived alone, 6 she stopped working. Her family was 7 and she could not pay the doctor's bills (账单) of her mother .Then she said she even planned to kill herself. I was shocked!

    She stayed another half an hour while I tried to comfort her to be brave. I told her I would try to get her a good 8 that would pay well. And I told her to believe she could have a better life.

    I passed her my 9 and asked her to ring me if she needed help. She smiled and said, "Thanks for your 10 and I promise. I won't have any more terrible thoughts. I will live long and well."

    Mary Miller is a1. Her 2 name is Mary. She 3 in London(伦敦).She is 4 No.1 Middle School. She is in Class3, Grade7. Her favorite 5 is red. Her pen is red. Her jacket is red. Her dog is 6, too. Her telephone 7 is 274-3410.Look! This is a photo 8 her family. There are four people in 9 family. She is my 10friend.

    When I was about twelve years old, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to tell me about my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list became 1： I was very short, and I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, and so on. I tried to stand（忍受）all of these as long as I could. 2, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears(眼泪) in my eyes.

    He listened to me quietly, and then asked, "Are the things that she said true or not? Jane, have you ever 3 what you're really like? Now you have that girl's ideas. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 4. Pay no attention to(别在意) the other things that she said."

    I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn't 5, like being very short, but a good number of them I could. I wanted to change the bad things in me, and for the 6 time I knew something about myself in a very clear way.

    I brought the list back to my father. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said, "You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself, but sometimes others' opinions are also important, so you 7 learn how to listen, and not just 8 your ears in anger and feel hurt（受伤害）. When something that is said about you is true, you'll find that it will be 9to you. Our world is full of people who think that they know you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to all of them, 10the truth and do what you think is the right thing to do." I have remembered my father's advice at many important moments. I have never had a better piece of advice in my whole life.
