Cinderella is a beautiful girl. She has two ugly stepsisters. They are not kind to Cinderella. Cinderella does all of the work at home. She must cook, clean and do everything.

    One day, a letter comes to the house. It is a letter from the prince. He will have a big party. He would like the three girls to come. The prince wants to find a wife.

    Cinderella can't go to the party because she doesn't have beautiful clothes. The day of the party arrives. Cinderella met a fairy godmother. She gives Cinderella a coach, two horses and a beautiful dress. But magic will stop working at 12 o'clock.

    The prince's palace is full of people. They are all happy to be at the big party. All the girls want to marry the prince. Then Cinderella walks into the palace. "Who is she?" everyone asks. "She's so beautiful," they say.

    The prince sees Cinderella. He asks her to dance with him. All night long they dance and talk. The prince and Cinderella fall in love. At twelve o'clock, Cinderella runs out.

    Cinderella runs and loses one of her glass shoes. She must get home before twelve. She is late. She runs into the house. Now, she is wearing her old dress again.

    The prince finds Cinderella's shoe. "I know this shoe. It is that beautiful girl's. I'll find her," he says. The next morning, he goes from house to house to find her. He goes to Cinderella's house. The two ugly stepsisters try on the shoe, but their feet are too big.

    "Can I try it on?" asks Cinderella. "Yes," the prince says, so Cinderella tries the shoe on. It fits her foot. "I have found my princess," the prince says. Soon Cinderella and the prince get married. They live happily ever after.

    Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10－month－old sister home alone. Anyway, my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I decided to do some drawing. Soon I gave up. Nothing was on TV, so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf…I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper? Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn't the tiny flame(火苗) I'd expected, and I couldn't blow it out. I threw it on the floor, and then I got my dad's boots(靴子) and stamped it out.

    But there was a huge hole left on the floor. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it. However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole. Next I was grounded(关禁闭)  for months. Even worse though, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.

Mr. King goes to a dinner party. He is1 old clothes. He comes into the room,2 no one looks at him, and they don't ask him to sit at the table. 

Then Mr. King goes3 home and puts on his good clothes, and goes back to the party. Then4 in the room looks at him and he gets very good food to eat. 

Mr. King5 off his clothes and puts them in the food and says, "Eat, clothes!"

A man asks, "6 are you doing?" He says, "I7 my clothes to eat food. When I wear my old clothes, you don't look at me and don't ask me to sit. Now I'm in8 clothes, and I get good food. So I see that you give the food to clothes, not to9 !" Then he goes out of the party. 

This story10 us not to judge (判断) a man only by his clothes. Just like the saying goes: never judge a book by its cover (封面).

Being disabled doesn't stop Guilhem Gallart, a French musician, from making music. For many years, he was a successful record producer and recording artist. He was known as "Pone" and helped spread hip hop in France in the 1990s and early 2000s, creating many popular songs with his music group Fonky Family.

In 2015, Pone was told to have ALS. ALS is an illness that can influence the ability to move, speak, eat and even breathe. There's no medicine that works for ALs at present. Because of it, Pone has to depend on a machine to breathe, and can't move any of his body parts except his eyes.

But technology has given Gallart new possibilities. With the help of the certain software (软件), his eye movements are tracked (跟踪), and as a result, he is able to write.

"I have once again discovered Pone that I knew before," said his wife Wahiba. "And even stronger than he was before."

The effort has resulted in a album (专辑), Listen and Donate, which came out in June, 2021. With this album, Pone hoped to raise money for the organization called Trakadom. The charity (慈善机构) was set up by him with two doctors. Its goal is to train more care takers and help patients to receive care at home. "Talking about this with my doctors, nurses and care takers, I found that they weren't trained well enough, and that many of them wanted the chance. So Trakadom was born," he said.

"If there's a message in my story, it's that anything is possible," said Pone.

A terrible smell caught Ariana again, she tried to hold her breath. She moved away a bit, but Ashley only moved1 and went on talking. Ariana felt it2 to make the decision. She wanted badly to tell Ashley that she didn't smell very good. But how could she do that3 hurting Ashley's feelings? She stood up and decided to tell her the truth, but she stopped at the last minute.4 , she put the remains of her lunch together to throw in the trash bin, thankful for the5 to get some fresh air. She looked back to see Ashley eating there. Ashley's hair was tangled*, and her clothes were6 . Ariana forced herself to go back to the table and take her7 , hoping that she wouldn't sit with Ashley tomorrow.

When Ariana got home from school, she complained to her mother, "There's a girl named Ashley who likes to sit next to me in school, but she smells bad."

"She must have a difficult day and8 from it," said her mother.

"No, it's not just one day. She smells bad a lot," Ariana explained. "9 else likes to sit next to her, either."

"I don't think you understand Ashley's situation, so let me ask you this…" her mother said

10 . " Who makes sure that your hair is combed* every morning so you'll look nice?"

"You do," answered Ariana.

"Who makes sure you're bathed and your clothes are washed properly?"

"11 and Daddy," Ariana said again.

"Do you live in a nice home and have enough to eat?"

Ariana12 her head, beginning to feel sorry. She was starting to13 now. Ashley couldn't help her situation because she was only seven years old—the same age as Ariana. Grown-ups14 take care of kids, because it is their duty.

"Why doesn't her family15 her ? " Ariana asked.

"Not all children live in the best situation," her mother said. "The best thing you can do for Ashley is to treat her with kindness and love." Ariana began to get her mother's point.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith have a food store in our town. When people go to their store, they' re polite (有礼貌的) and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to them. So, they have many friends and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} friends often go to their store to buy things or just to talk with them. 

It was a Saturday evening. At dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Smith talked about the next days mountain trip. For the trip, they needed to get up {#blank#}3{#/blank#} than before to catch (赶上) the train in the morning. After dinner, they started cooking some food for the trip. At that time, a few friends came to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} them. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had to stop to talk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them. They talked for a long time. Mrs. Smith looked at the clock and it was eleven. Mrs. Smith was anxious(焦虑的){#blank#}6{#/blank#}  it wasn't polite to ask them to leave. She thought for a few minutes and got an {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. She said to Mr. Smith" Oh, it's 11 p. m. ! You need to stop {#blank#}8{#/blank#} right now, dear! Our friends are anxious to go home. Mr. Smith heard this and said sorry to their friends. Their friends knew it was too late and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} soon. 

It's important to be polite to our friends, but it's also {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to say no to them in a smart way. Do you think so
