Once upon a time, there was a tree which wanted to become a treasure box. One day, a farmer cut it down and sold it to a carpenter(木匠). The tree was happy because he thought the carpenter would make it into a treasure box.

    To its surprise, the carpenter made it into a feed box for animals. The tree felt very disappointed because that was not its dream. Several years later, the feed box was thrown away. Someone picked it up and placed it into an old temple. The tree forgot its dream little by little.

    One day, a couple came to the temple. The woman gave birth to a baby boy. There wasn't a bed in the temple. So they placed the baby in the feed box. They loved him and regarded him as their treasure. The tree suddenly realized that it became a real "treasure box" at that time.

    Sometimes you may think your dream will not come true. Don't forget your dream. It may be realized in another new way.

    One day a young man was standing in a crowded place, shouting that he had the most beautiful heart in the world. Most of the people who saw his heart were amazed at the beauty of his heart. It had no little flaw (瑕疵).

    Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, "Oh, my son, your heart is not as beautiful as mine."

    The old man showed his heart to the young man. It was beating strongly, but full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in. But they didn't fit quite right, and there were gaps and rough(崎岖不平的) edges. Some places have never been filled in.

    The young man laughed, "My dear old man,   ▲   Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is full of scars."

    The old man said, "Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart. You see, each scar shows where I have given my love. Sometimes people give me a piece of their heart back, and it fills the space as best it can. Other times, I give my love and get nothing in return. Those are the empty spaces. They hurt, but they show me that I can love and love again. "

    The young man stood still. His eyes were filled with tears. He walked up to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.

    The old man placed it in his heart, and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart.

The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever.

Yang Zhen was an honest and clean（廉洁的） government officer during the Eastern Han Dynasty. 

One day, Yang met his old workmate Wang Mi on a trip. They had fun talking about their life experiences and good wishes for the nation. In the past, Wang's ability and political ideas were not accepted by the people around him. At that time, Yang saw Wang's talent and promoted（提拔）him. 

The chance helped Wang to be successful. Wang never forgot Yang's help and invited him to stay over for the night. 

It was near midnight when Wang knocked on the door of Yang's bedroom. He handed Yang a bag and said, "This is to thank you for teaching me and helping me become who I am today. "Yang looked at the bag. It was full of gold. "Do I look like a person who takes presents from others? I thought you knew me well! "Yang said angrily. 

"It's late now. No one will know if we keep it a secret. "said Wang. "What do you mean no one will know? Heaven（天） knows! Earth knows! You know and I know! "said Yang. "You can lie to anyone but not your own heart. " The door was closed and Wang left the room in shame.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#} when Sam looks at his schoolbag, he finds that his maths homework isn't in it "Where is it? Oh, no! It's on my desk. I always look at my schoolbag {#blank#}8{#/blank#} going to school, but today I don't have time to do that, " Sam thinks. Now, he knows that it's good to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（having）good habits（习惯）. 

Sam calls his mum and says, "Mum, I need your {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（helpful）. My maths homework is on my desk. Please bring it to me quickly. "

My grandfather often said "I won't" to show his dislike of dishonesty. When he was young, he worked as a furniture maker. One day, a neighbor invited him to make some furniture. When arriving, he noticed the wood provided was a little 1 , so he said, "I won't start right away. " He chose to let the wood dry for a month. He knew working with wet wood could cause 2 later on. 

Around the same time, another furniture maker was also asked to do a 3 job by a different family. Unlike my grandfather, he 4 working right away. As a result, the neighbor started doubting my grandfather, thinking he was trying to make more money by5 the work. However, my grandfather waited 6 . He wanted the best quality for the furniture he was making. 

A month later, the other furniture maker received his money and went back home. My grandfather began to make strong and beautiful furniture when the wood was completely dry. A few months passed and the furniture made by that other maker began to break. The neighbor then regretted 7 my grandfather and said sorry to him. People came to understand his 8 and skill, spreading his fame far and wide. 

Influenced by my grandfather, my father also follows the 9 of "I won't". He always provides the freshest food, which makes his restaurant very popular in town. Once, when a trade r wanted to sell some cheap but smelly seafood to my father, he said "No!" and stopped the business. 

Now, my brother and I 10 in mind what our grandfather and father taught us. Through ups and downs in life, we've come to deeply understand our family value behind this saying—— to be truthful and honest.
