In April this year, lots of bags full of small change(零钱) were seen at bus stops in Tianjin. They were made for passengers to turn their notes into small change. And such an idea came from four students from Zhongbei Middle School, Tianjin.

    "People will surely feel worried when they take a bus without coins. We just want to do something to help them," said Wang Yongcun, 15, one of the four students.

    The four boys spent their whole weekend making the change bags. After that they went to see the number of the passengers at each bus stop near their school, and then chose the top six stops to put the bags.

    Many people think that the four boys have really done a good job. But, things didn't go as the boys thought. Two days later, they found that the money was gone, and that even the bags were taken. It really made them sad but they would not give up. Their classmates and teachers came to help them in time. They put their pocket money in bags again. And the teachers also taught them to make better change bags. They tried their best to do it.

    The four boys feel very happy because they have done something good for the passengers. Their warm hearts are moving. More and more people are beginning to join in the activity.

    Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏) of our environment． Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals．．, these problems seem so huge．

    So my family does what we can． We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags． We walk where we don't have to drive．．．

    But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

    I recently learned something about flamingos (火烈鸟) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more． Every year, when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first takeoff from the lake． But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns．

    However, the next day they try again． This time few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again． They try for several times． Every time a few more birds join in but, since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped．

    Then one day something changes． The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more． Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins．

    What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

    A few can make a difference． Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems．

I still remember the day when my first grandchild, Noah, was born in the hospital. The room was full of1 from the family. And we hugged each other in excitement and wished he would grow up healthily like other babies. But things didn't go2 as planned. Noah faced lots of health problems from the very beginning. And doctor told us that he would3 to grow up healthily, which broke our hearts. Noah wasn't able to suck (吮吸) like most babies. He couldn't eat on his own. So doctors had to give him a feeding tube (胃食管) just to keep him4 . It was heartbreaking for us to see him go through so much5 . But we lived positively (every day 6 complained about the unfairness. Because we realized we should7 the things life gives us.

Noah is a special and excellent boy. He has come a long way since those early days. He has faced many8 and achieved so much. Today is his 13% birthday. We held a big party outdoors. Many relatives and friends accepted our invitation,9 this party on time. We were thankful that we10 together when facing difficulties. Family is where life begins and love never ends.

I want to tell you something about my weekend. 1 Saturday morning, I usually get up very early. It is about 8:00 a.m. I often run with my father around my apartment (公寓). After I 2 my breakfast, I often go shopping with my mother. The shopping centre is far from our home, 3 we go there by bus. We spend about 20 minutes 4 there. The shopping centre has a 5 name. It is called Louis Mall. It doesn't have 6 Chinese name.

There are many things there, such as food, meat, clothes, shoes and so on. There 7 lots of people every day. Do you know 8 so many people come here to buy things? Let 9 tell you. The 10 there always smile. How kind they are! If you come to my home, I can take you there and have a look.

Once upon a time, there were two fishermen called Luke and Jim. They were good at fishing. One day they went fishing by the lake. Jim {#blank#}1{#/blank#} fishing alone. Luke was an outgoing person who loved to make {#blank#}2{#/blank#} with different people.

When Luke found that some tourists at the lake couldn't catch any fish, he said to them,"I can teach you how to fish. If you catch ten fish, give me one fish as compensation (报酬). But {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you get fewer than ten, you don't need to give me anything." The tourists and Luke came to an agreement {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. After that, Luke started to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them some fishing skills. After he finished teaching a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, he went to teach another group. Hours later, he asked the tourists to give {#blank#}7{#/blank#} one fish for ten fish that they caught. At the end of the day, Luke got a full bucket of fish, and also made a lot of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} friends. The tourists regarded him as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} good teacher for teaching them how to fish.

As for Jim,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} fishing for a whole day alone, he looked into his fish bucket, and found he had far fewer fish than his friend. He felt very upset.

If we help others succeed, we will harvest(收获) both success and friends.
