Mr. Smith gave his wife 10 pounds for her birthday—ten pretty new pound notes. The day after her birthday, Mrs. Smith went 1 . She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an old 2. After a while, she noticed that the old lady's handbag was open. Inside it, she3 a roll of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. She 4 looked into her own bag—the notes were gone! Mrs. Smith was 5 that the old lady had stolen them. She thought she should call the police. But she disliked getting other people into 6, so she decided to take back the money from the old lady's handbag and say 7 more about it. She 8 the bus to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the old lady's 9 , took the notes, and put them in her own bag.

 When she got home that evening, she showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.

“  10 did you pay for it?” he asked.

“With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course.” she replied.

“Oh? What's that, then?” he asked, as he pointed to a roll of ten pound notes on the table.

    Once upon a time, there lived a kind king. But the king was also very1. He would not do anything other than eat and sleep. He became fatter and fatter, and finally found it difficult to move his2– even his feet.

    The king invited doctors from different parts of his country to make him3. But no one could help the king lose weight.

    One day, an old man visited the country. He heard about the king's4. He volunteered (自愿) to help the king lose some weight. The king decided to let him5.

    The old man lived6. He said that the king had to come to him and asked the king to come for treatment the next day. But the king would have to7there, the old man added.

    The king came the next day.8, the old man was not there. His son asked the king to come and meet his father the next day.

    The king came every day for two weeks, but he never once saw the old man. But he did notice that he felt a lot9. He had lost some weight. He finally realized why the old man had asked him to walk so far.

Shailyn Ryan is a 9- year- old girl from Massachusetts. That day, during lunch in the school dining hall, she noticed1 unexpected happening. Her friend Keira held a hand to her own throat without a word. Her face rapidly turned red, then blue. Though Keira was unable to 2 , Shailyn knew she was choking（噎住）.

Immediately, Shailyn jumped from her seat and stood behind Keira. She pushed Keira a bit forward, put her arms 3 Keira's waist（腰部）, then pressed as hard as she could.

It wasn't long before a hot dog piece popped（突然弹出）up from Keira's throat. Thanks to her 4 action, Keira was free to breathe again.

"I didn't really think about it—I just did it," said Shailyn. "I wasn't 5 at all, and I knew that I had to do something fast, so I did." And she did it just right.

The most6 part of the story is that Shailyn knew the Heimlich maneuver（海姆立克操作法）just for less than 24 hours. Only the night before, she attended "Home Alone" kids 7 class. At the class, she and several other children learnt basic first aid and practised 8 to do the Heimlich maneuver on each other. Clearly, Shailyn was a really fast 9 ! She was able to take what she'd learnt the night before and 10 it in real life.

A few days later, Shailyn was given an award by the school master Jill Barnhardt. "We're sure to 11 Shailyn for her actions in such situation," Barnhardt said. "Shailyn took actions 12 . Her response to her friend's suffering was effective. She is simply a 13 ."

Shailyn was also excited to get a personal tour of a hospital 14 she dreamed of becoming a doctor. "I want to 15 more people," she said. "That would be cool to work in a hospital."

Sarah is 7 years old and she is new at school. After the first class bell rings，she walks out of the classroom. She sees some children talking and laughing in the school {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . 

Emily introduces（介绍） Sarah to the other children. There is a boy named Jack，{#blank#}2{#/blank#}girl named Lily and a boy named Tom. They have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} talking about themselves. Sarah knows much about her new friends. Emily loves to grow vegetables like {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . Tom likes to read books about {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Sarah is happy to make new friends.
