I am a book lover. So my house is forever full of1. I have new ones, old ones, hard covers, paperbacks,2and non-stories. I have three boxes of books in my closet, two boxes of books on the floor of my bedroom, and a box of children's books3 for my future grandchildren. I have even more books4the two I wrote on my desk. I try to keep the books5 building up by donating as many as I can to the local6, but as soon as I donate a few, I find myself buying a few more.

   Books Iread keep my mind young, and my heart7,and soul bright. They bring me knowledge, laughter, and joy. They connect me withthe wisdom of the past and the new ideas of the8.They keep me moving on the right path as a journey through life.

    I havelearned that people are a lot like books as well. Some have bright and shiny covers9  don't have very much to say inside of them. Otherslook old and plain but so full of10and light that reading them can11yourwhole life. One difference between books and people, though, is that while a bookhas an ending, the writing inside of us12forever.

Take care when writing the book of your own life. Fill it with love for yourself, others and this world. Fill it with all the wisdom you have learned, goodness you have done,13you have shared, and joy you have14. Keep writing it every day, too. Make it everything you are and everything you want to be, and then15it to everyone. I know it will be a wonderful and fantastic book.

It is a long time since the story happened to me. And it is an unforgettable 1 for me. On a cold winter afternoon, I was walking home from a supermarket. My shopping bags were so 2 that I decided to stop to have a rest. Then I noticed a man walking out of a restaurant in front of me. He was holding a paper bag in his hand. He walked to a nearby dustbin (垃圾桶) and started looking 3 it.

Seeing this, I suddenly felt 4 . What a poor man he was! I knew the man would take all he could get from the dustbin, so I went up to him and gave him some 5 . The man, with wrinkles (皱纹) on his face, looked up in surprise and took what I gave him.

A big smile appeared on his face. Then he said, "Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then this drink, and now you gave me some delicious fruit. This is my little daughter's lucky day. I am sure 6 will be very happy. Thank you, boy!" Then he went away, singing a song 7 .

Just then, I understood what the saying "Giving is getting" really meant. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone will offer help and everyone will be 8 by others. Giving sometimes doesn't 9 much, but it means a lot to the people who you help. The man's 10 face at that moment comes into my mind every time when I help others. Then I can feel the bright happiness from the bottom of my heart.

Last Saturday, I borrowed a camera from my friend Lisa. However, I was so excited that I dropped it on the floor by mistake and it was broken. Oh no! It was the birthday gift from her grandmother. I was worried that she would be a{#blank#}1{#/blank#} with me, so I didn't tell her the t{#blank#}2{#/blank#} at last. But one day, she told me she had already known that, and she said it would be all right. I felt so a{#blank#}3{#/blank#} that I could hardly say a word. At that moment, I really r{#blank#}4{#/blank#} not saying sorry to her in time. I treated her with dishonesty, but she wasn't mad at me. I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, she smiled and gave me a hug. Since then, I have learned an important lesson: Honesty is valued. So I just keep it in my mind and it's surprising that I have a closer relationship with Lisa than before.

Before going back to work one afternoon, Policeman Li took a big bite out of the red apple on his desk. He had no time to eat his lunch that day. He was busy dealing with a traffic accident report. 

It seemed that a man named Wang Jie had run a red light, running into another person's car. But he said that the light had been green when he drove across the crossing. 

Li decided to question Wang Jie again. Maybe he could get some more information about the accident. This time Wang Jie still insisted (坚持) that the light was green when he drove across the crossing. Li had no reason to doubt what Wang Jie said. He told Wang Jie that he was free to go. 

"Thank you so much, Policeman Li. By the way, that green apple on your desk looks delicious! I hope you enjoy it!" Wang Jie said with a smile. 

Li stopped for a moment and then said, "Wait. Sit back down. I think we need to talk some more."
