I was not surprised when my 89-year-old father called me and said that he wanted to come to my farm. He always liked1and being busy.

He asked, “Peg, I hear you are going to pull sick cows out of the cowshed (牛棚) for2. Do you think I can help pull them out?” He asked me twice after my long silence. I just didn't want to3him, so I had to reply, “Dad, you can come over here and try it.”

We continued to do work on our cows. When there were three left, my father4. I helped him put on the protection suit. For an old man, it was a really5task, but he finally made it. I noticed Dad's tears sparkling in his eyes, which were the tears of6that he still managed to pull three cows out.

My workers were all moved and admired him very much. I also felt7that I had such a great father. During those years, my father worked as a pilot, a pilots' trainer, a husband and a father. He treated everything8. He set an example to me that I should create a better life with hard work,9and responsibility. Bearing this in mind, I went from an ordinary farm worker to an able farm10. I owed all this to my father.

Aladdin made a wish to the magic lamp, "Please build a beautiful palace next to the king's palace." The next morning, the king found a new palace and a golden walkway between his palace and the new palace. The king met Aladdin at the door when he went to see the new building. Aladdin said, "My Lord, this is my present to the princess. In this way, you can still see each other even after she is married." The king was touched by Aladdin and agreed to let Aladdin marry his daughter.

The wedding of Aladdin and the princess was big and celebrated by the whole city. The magician (魔法师) heard this and decided to bring the lamp back. He made several beautiful lamps and then went to Aladdin and the princess's palace. He talked to their servants, "Do you have any old lamps? You can exchange them for my new lamps because I'm interested in royal(皇家的) things." The servants rushed to tell the/princess the strange news. The princess agreed and asked them to take Aladdin's lamp to the magician because she believed it was just a common old lamp.

After getting the lamp, the magician quickly made a wish, "Take me home with Aladdin's palace and the princess." When Aladdin got home at night he found the palace and the princess were gone. "Maybe the wicked(恶的) magician was back," he thought. Aladdin felt very sad. Suddenly, he remembered the magic ring:

Aladdin asked the ring to bring his wife and palace back.

 "I'm afraid I can't. It depends upon the magic lamp." replied the ring.

"But at least you can take me to my wife wherever she is."

Then Aladdin was placed upon an area facing the princess's flat. The princess told Aladdin what happened that night through the window of the flat.

"Where did he put the lamp?" Aladdin asked.

The princess replied, "He takes it with him all the time."

Aladdin was glad when hearing that. Then he passed the princess a small bottle and told her his plan.

That evening, the princess invited the magician to have a great meal. The magician became relaxed when seeing the delicious food and wine(葡萄酒). The princess then filled his cup with wine, again and again, so he soon got drunk. At this time, she secretly put something that Aladdin gave her into the magician's cup. He drank and soon fell asleep. After that, Aladdin came in. He found the lamp and made a wish. Finally, Aladdin and the princess got home safely. The magician was put in prison.

From then on, they lived a happy life and they did many good things for people with the help of the magic lamp.

My name is Susan. I am a student of Green Middle School. It's a nice and beautiful school. Here is a map of it. 

Look at the map of our school. This is the music hall, just across from the science building. The music hall is a yellow building with two floors. We often listen to music in it. Sometimes, we have music lessons in it too. The science building is yellow too. A small shop is between the science building and the teachers' building. We can buy many kinds of school things in it. The teachers' building is white. Our teachers often correct (批改) our homework or prepare (准备) lessons in it. Behind the teachers' building is the school hall. It's new and nice. We often have parties or speeches (演讲) in it. A large sports field is next to the school hall. All the students go there and do exercises together in the morning. Every Monday we raise the flag there. The classroom building is across from the school hall and the sports field. We spend most of the time in our classroom. It's big and clean. 

I love my school. It's a beautiful place and I can learn a lot in it. 

Look! Gam Bok-Yin is practicing Hung Gar, a kind of Chinese kung fu, with his student.1 he is 77, he is in good health. Gam is from Australia. He started to 2 Hung Gar over 70 years ago. Now he can do it very well, but he is still3 . He always tells his students. "Hard work is the key to success. "

The story started in the 1940s in Sydney, Australia. There was 4 wrong (有毛病的) with Gam's legs. He had to move around in a wheelchair (轮椅). When Gam was 5, a 5 Chinese man next door said he would like to help Gam. Gam's parents thanked the man for his kindness and decided to have a 6 . The man showed some simple leg movements and exercises. Then he told Gam's father to help Gam practice them slowly.7 just a few days later, Gam sensed (感知到) feeling in his legs. He 8 the exercise. Gam kept practicing, and he could 9 at the age of 12. 

Gam never 10 practicing, and in 1996, he started teaching others Hung Gar in Hong Kong.

I was in line waiting to pay. A little boy in the front was buying some clothes. I noticed that   the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he broke his pig bank(猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was $ 8.00 short after counting his money.

 It was clear that the boy already used all the money. The lady in front of me said, "Well,I could pay half of that." I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We searched our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills (纸币). Other customers behind began searching their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and moving that all these strangers seemed to have the same idea. All of us wanted to help the boy. Within minutes the cashier said, "I have too much money." The cashier didn't need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me said,"Wait! I didn't get a chance to give anything!"

I smiled at her and said, "You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this." The little boy smiled and thanked us. I was left with a good feeling. I saw the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, "It feels good to give, doesn't it?" I smiled back and said, "Yes!"
