An English gent leman always takes an umbrella and wears a hat. Why? In England, it rains often. The rain comes at any time, so an umbrella is necessary (必要的) in people's life. English gentlemen love to take a long black umbrella. It is useful when the rain comes. And it is also a style. The hat plays an important part in their life too. If two men meet in the street,  they take off (脱掉)  their hats to show their respect (尊重) to each other. If a man visits his friend, he takes off his hat frst when he gets into the room. If he goes to a party, he can only put the hat on his chair, but not on the table. You don't have the two things, but you can still (仍然) be a gentleman. Always be nice to others and be ready to help others. Show your respect and love to old people, women and children. Never shout. Never lose your temper (发脾气).

   The cold wind blew strongly outside. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she'd read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.

   The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help. In the article, the kids had grown food for people who needed food, but it was winter. She couldn't start a garden. Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.

   As they drove along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk(人行道), wearing only light jackets. How could they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats, hats and gloves for people who needed them.

   She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it was great. But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least.

   Ms. Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea. They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster aboutit, so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.

   They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again. She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats and gloves. Amaya felt warm in her heart, and was very glad she could help others.

Once there was a duck called Rodney. He lived in a town near a big forest.

Most animals in the town thought Rodney was a clever* duck because 1 could tell the stories of many great writers and even the stars in space. Rodney himself was also proud*of being the cleverest in his town. He 2 asked others for help.

One day, he went for a walk in the forest alone. And before long, he was 3 . Just then, a bird flew by and said to him, "You're quite far from the town. Do you want me to show you the 4 ?" Rodney didn't want other animals to think that he, a clever duck, would 5 help. So he said "Oh no, I'm OK!" to the bird before hurrying off.

It was getting dark. Another bird flew past and saw him. "Hey, are you 6 the way to your town?" The bird asked. But the proud duck told him that he was just watching the stars, and then hurried away again 7 asking for help.

"How can you see the stars in a forest with so many trees?" the bird thought. "A 8 young duck!"

It was really dark then. Rodney couldn't see anything to guide him. He became afraid and sad. Rodney finally 9 he would ask for help when someone came along. He waited with hope 10 not an animal came by. The forest was dark and quiet. The clever duck spent a cold night shivering under a leaf.

"If I was really clever, I'd listen to others!" he thought.

When I was eight, I got a book about stars. That was the beginning of my lifetime hobby. 

I used to go outside with my mum at night and look at the sky. After stars {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the sky looked like black velvet(天鹅绒) with millions of diamonds(钻石). How beautiful and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}! I shared the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of seeing stars with my mother. 

Studying stars is great fun for me. Once I learn a little about stars, I soon want {#blank#}4{#/blank#} more. I never {#blank#}5{#/blank#} lonely on my way because stars are always there. Now it is my career. 

Actually, everyone can turn their hobby into their career, too. Anybody has a chance to achieve their dreams. You just need to enjoy what you do!
