    It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any 1 in the house. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper and wrote on it, "Please 2  my dog half a pound (磅) of meat." Then she gave the paper to 3 dog and said, "Take this to the butcher (肉贩), and he'll give you what you want."

    The dog ran to the butcher's with the piece of paper. The butcher read the paper 4 and recognized (辨别出) that it was really the woman's handwriting (笔迹). So he did as he was asked to. The dog was very 5 and ate the meat up at once.

    At noon, the dog came to the butcher's again with a piece of paper. 6 reading the paper, the butcher gave it half a pound of meat once more.

    The next day, the dog came again at noon. And as usual, it 7 a piece of paper. This time, the butcher gave it its meat without looking at the paper.

    The dog came again at four o' clock. And the same thing 8 once again. It came for the third time at six o' clock. The butcher felt a little surprised. He said, "This is a small dog. 9 does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?"

    A teacher once told each of her students to bring a clean plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn't want to forgive(原谅) in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person's1and the date on it and put it in the plastic bag. Some of their bags were very2.They were then told to carry this bag with them3for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus , and next to their desks at4. The5carrying the bag around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to(注意) it all the time so that they wouldn't6it or leave it in embarrassing(尴尬的) places. As time passed by, the potatoes went7and smelt terrible. Too often we think of tolerance(宽容) as a8to other people, but it clearly is for9! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred(仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to10them around all our lives.

    John went to London3train. He left the station and thought, "The office isn't 4the station. I'll find it5. "

    But after an hour he was still looking for it, so he stopped and asked an old woman. She said, "Just go along this street, and turn left6the end, and it's the  7building on the right. " John went and found it.

    8days later, John went to the same city,9again he couldn't find the office, so he asked someone the way. It was10old woman! She was very surprised and said, "Are you still looking for that place?"

    We began our hunt for the treasure. At the top of the hill, we sat down to rest. Suddenly, a1from trees started singing: "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest—Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

    The pirates were2. Their faces turned white, and some of them jumped up.

    "It's Flint!" cried one.

    "Someone is playing the 3 on us," said Silver.

    The men started to feel better at these words. 4 the voice called out again.

    "Darby McGraw," it called out several times. "Fetch the rum, Darby!"

    The pirates5where they were, looking around in fear.

    "Those were Flint's last words before he died," whispered one.

    "6 here except us knows about Darby," said Silver. "I'm here to get the treasure. I was never afraid of Flint when he was 7, and I'm not afraid of him now. There's 700,000 pounds a quarter of a mile from here. I'm not going to 8."

    "You're right, John," said one of the pirates. "And that voice 9like Flint's voice. It was more like…"

    "Ben Gunn!!" shouted Silver.

    "Yes!" cried another10. "It was Ben Gunn! And nobody is afraid of Ben Gunn, dead or alive."

    With this, the men's spirit returned. They picked up their things and we carried 11walking.

    We were now close to the tall trees. I was worried about Silver. I was sure he could easily kill everyone to keep the treasure for 12.

    "Hooray!" shouted one of the pirates and they all started running. Suddenly they stopped. When Silver and I reached them we saw13.

    In front of us there was a very big hole. At the 14of the hole there was a broken wooden box. On one of the sides I saw the word Walrus—the15 of Flint's ship.

    It was clear that the treasure was not there.

    You might have heard the story of The Tortoise and the Hare (《龟兔赛跑》). The hare lost because he was sleeping {#blank#}1{#/blank#}of keeping running during the race. However, there is another more interesting story.
