Michael Jackson was one of the world's best singers. He was born in the middle west of the city of Gary， Indiana， in 1958. He began singing with his four brothers. They called the group， “The Jackson Five”. The group became very popular after appearing on a television program. In 1970 the group made their  first record with the name of I Want You Back. It was very popular. One of their hit records was Never Say Goodbye.

    Michael was good at dancing as well as singing， for example， his dance moves and moon walking. He was asked to act in a film in 1978 for the first time， and in the same year he made a record on his own， which was sold eight million copies all over the world.

    Michael nearly didn't go out because he was too famous. Once his fans went off in a faint(晕倒）when they saw him at the concert. No one can do it by now. He lived in a large house and kept lots of animals. He never ate meat. He often raised money for charity. This made him win the Guinness world Records（吉尼斯世界纪录）in 2006. He died on June 25th， 2009， but he would live in our hearts forever.

    Mr. Jones had a nice Brown coat. He loved it very much, but his wife didn't like it. Because it was old. She often said." Give it to a poor man." But Mr. Jones always answered," No, I like this coat. "

    Then a cigarette（香烟） fell on it and made a hole in it. So Mrs Jones said, "Please don't wear it again." Mr. Jones took it to a small tailor（裁缝） "Please make another coat like this one." The tailor made the coat very carefully. Then he lit （点燃）a cigarette, and made a hole in it in the same place.

Dear Mum，

Many people say they have the best mum. But I think that I have the best mum in the world. There's so much to thank you. I don't know where to start, but I will try. 

♥Thank you for looking after me. You are there at hospital visits, plays, everything. Whenever I need you, you are always there and you will always be. 

♥Thank you for being my best friend now. You're the one to whom I tell everything. Every time I need someone, you are my fan. 

♥Thank you for loving me. You tell me that you love me every day. 

And you know what, I love you, too. 

Love，

Your Daughter

There are many stories of rich people who were poor but worked hard to be{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(成功). Many of them keep their money to themselves or share it just with their family together. But one man called Sarath Babu is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (计划) to use his money to help poor people. And he set a good{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (榜样)for us. 

When Sarath Babu was young , he lived in the slum (贫民窟) of India with his mother. His family had{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（几乎）nothing at that time, but his mother took the education{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (认真) . At school, he was a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(辛勤的) student and always got good {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(成绩). Then he went to university. After he finished university, he started his own restaurant called Food King. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (虽然) it was difficult at the beginning , he never gave up. One of the main {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (理由) why he can succeed finally is that he sold healthy food cheaply. Many people came to his restaurant. Sarath hired(雇佣) people from the slum to work at his restaurant. He wanted to give them a better life than before. 

Now, he has seven restaurants that are doing very well, and has 250 workers. Some day he hopes to have more restaurants and give people the best{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(服务). 

I stood by the window, Looking at the gray sky and snowy ground. A woman crossed the street, with a thick scarf, looking cold and unhappy.

 The morning was ideal for reading, so I turned on the light and lay in bed with a book. The phone rang, and I heard my mum agree to something, mentioning my name. Curious,I wondered what was happening.

 Mum entered and told me Uncle Sam was taking me to Sparrow Hills. Unwilling to leave on such a cold day,I hesitated(犹豫) but didn't want to disappoint Mum, so I put on my blue sweater. The doorbell rang, and Uncle Sam asked if I was ready.

"I suppose," I replied, grabbing a warm wool hat. We headed to the station, catching the train to Sparrow Hills. The train is warm, and my body started to relax.

"Can we just stay on the train?" I said as the train stopped. Uncle Sam softly pulled me up and said, "You will miss all the fun."

 Outside, the wind was blowing strongly. The trees were shining and they swung in the wind.

"I don't know how long I can stay out here," I said as we started to walk uphill. He pulled me closer to the trees and said, "Listen!"

 At first, I heard only the wind. Then came a jingling and chiming(叮叮当当). "That's the music in winter," My uncle said. I pulled my hat up to free my cars. The branches(树枝) sounded like hundreds of bells ringing, jingling and chiming. I was surprised and I stood still, looking at the icy branches hitting each other and leaves swinging in the wind. Then we climbed to the top of Sparrow Hills and looked down. The snow-covered trees made buildings appear brighter. Then the sun broke through the clouds.

"The sun is shining!" I shouted. Uncle Sam smiled and said, "The sun is always shining. You just need to climb high enough to see it."
