My friend and I entered a little coffee house and ordered two cups of coffee. While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, " 1 cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three there on the wall." The waiter served them with respect (尊敬). They paid for their order, took the two and left. As soon as they left, the waiter 2 put three pieces of paper on the wall. We saw this with great 3.

Some more people came. Two girls asked for one coffee each, paid and went away. Then came three lawyers who paid for seven coffees —three for 4 and four suspended(待用). I really 5 what the suspended coffees were. Suddenly a man came into the coffee house. The way this man was dressed didn't 6 the style(风格）of this coffee shop. He kindly ordered a coffee on the wall. The waiter served coffee to this man, showing him the same 7 as the other customers. The man had his coffee and left 8 paying. The waiter took off a piece of paper from the wall and threw it in the dustbin.

At that moment, I knew the meaning of the suspended coffees. It's simple—people pay the coffee in advance(预先) for someone who can't 9 it. The tradition with the suspended coffees 10 in Italy, but it has spread all over the world. A suspended coffee is not only a cup of coffee, but also the warmth and love to someone in need.

In a village, there lived an old man in his 70s. As he got older, he grew to enjoy going to bed early. One day, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} group of boys played games near his house. Their loud shouting made it impossible for him to fall{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (sleep). He felt quite angry.

One evening, the old man invited the boys inside his house. He told them that he loved hearing the sound of{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (child) voices. Their laughter and cries made him feel like he had become a young man again. He promised{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (give) each of them a dollar if they would play there every day.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (excited), the same boys returned and played even more happily and loudly the next day. True to his word, the old man{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pay) them and asked them to do so again the following day.

However, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the next evening, the boys got only 50 cents instead of a dollar.

By the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(three) evening, the old man only gave them 10 cents. He said that he was very sorry{#blank#}9{#/blank#}he didn't have much money left.

"Dear children," he said, "would you please still come back tomorrow? I really enjoy your laughter."

The boys felt so sad that they refused his request. Was it worth{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(play) so hard if they didn't get much in return?

Hundreds of years ago, a Norse (挪威的) army came from the north of Europe and stepped onto the land of Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to keep the Norsemen out of Scotland, but there were too many of them. It looked as if the Norsemen would win.

One night, the leader of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill." We will rest here tonight, my men," he said." Tomorrow we will have another fight. We must win or we will die."

They were all very tired, so they ate their dinner quickly and fell asleep. There were four soldiers on duty, watching out for any danger at night. But they were also very tired. One by one, they fell asleep as well.

The Norsemen were not asleep. Very soon, they came together at the foot of the hill. In order to walk quietly, the Norsemen took off their shoes. Slowly they climbed up the hillside without making any sound. Closer and closer, they moved towards the sleeping Scots. They were almost there. A few minutes more, the war would be over.

Suddenly, one of the Norse soldiers put his foot on a thistle(蓟) and got hurt. He cried out and his sudden cry woke up all the Scots. In a moment, they were on their feet and ready to fight. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots drove the Norsemen away and saved their country.

From then on, the thistle has become popular in Scotland. Although it is not beautiful and has sharp needles all over it, Scottish people still make it their national flower.

 One night in July at an all-girls summer camp, the students sat around a fire and talked with each other. Their teacher asked if any of the girls wanted to1 something. It could be anything that happened that day and what they     2 it. One girl put up her hand. She said that another girl said something bad to her and it hurt her     3 . For that, she felt quite sad about it. The teacher went into the4 , and carried a tube of toothpaste(牙膏) when she walked out     5 the door. Then she held the tube     6 in the air so that every student could see7 . She squeezed(挤) a bit so some toothpaste came out. She then tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube, 8 she couldn't make it. It just made a mess(脏乱). She squeezed the tube even more, 9 more toothpaste and making even more of a mess. 10 of the toothpaste would go back into the tube. 

11 , the teacher then told the students, "This toothpaste is just like the12 you say. When you say something bad, it's13 to take it back. It only makes a mess. 14 before you speak and make sure something you say are15 before you let them out. We should always be careful with what we say. "

 Remember: something you say can be a soothing medicine or a sharp knife.
