Alf is a big soccer fan. At school, there are lots of children playing soccer. Alf really wants to be a soccer star, But he thinks he isn't good at soccer. He feels very sad. He always thinks about how to be a great soccer player.

    One day, Alf went to watch the school soccer match on the playground. Suddenly Alf shouted, “Look out!” Alf jumped up in the air and made a very good save(救球)！

    All the soccer players and the coach cheered. “What a good save, Alf! You're the best!” Everyone said.

    The soccer coach said, “Alf, come with me.” Alf stood in the goal(球门) and the coach took a shot(射门). It was a good shot, but Alf saved it. Alf saved the next shot, too. And the next one. All the children cheered.

    Now Alf knows he is a very good goalkeeper. He is good at playing soccer after all.

    One morning I met a man in my shop. He wanted to buy some new clothes. First I gave him a pair of trousers. He put them on to try, then ________ and gave them back to me and said, "No, give me a coat instead of them." I gave him a coat and told him, "This one is worth as much as the trousers." To my surprise he took the coat without saying a word and walked out of the shop with it. I ran quickly after him and said, "You haven't paid for that coat!" "But I gave you the trousers for the coat," he said. "They are worth (相当于……的价值) the same as the coat, aren't they?" "Yes," I said. "You didn't pay for the trousers, either!" "Of course I didn't!" answered the man, "I didn't take them. I am not foolish! Nobody gives things back and then pays for them."

    A long time ago, there was a king who liked music so much that he ordered his men to get him the best instrument in the world.

    One day, a young man offered the king a harp (竖琴). The king took it to the palace, but when he started playing it, the harp was out of tune.

    Many other musicians tried it, and they agreed that the harp was useless(没用的) and the king had been cheated. The harp was thrown out as rubbish.

    A poor little girl later found the harp. And even though she did not know how to play, she decided to have a try. She played and played, for months and years, always with the harp out of tune, but she played better and better.

    Then one day, suddenly, the harp began to play the most beautiful music. It was a magic harp, and could only be played well by someone willing to spend much time practicing.

    One day, the king heard the music from his window, and the girl was invited to the palace. When the king saw the girl playing the harp, he was full of joy. At that moment he made the girl his private musician, giving her and her family lots of money.

I remember the year when I was seven years old. I 1 a pretty hair clip from a girl in my dance class. My 2 found the shiny clip was not bought by them. So they sat me down on the floor of our study and explained 3 whatI had done was wrong. What a bad end I would come to if I became a thief—people would not trust me anymore.

More than thirty years on, the lesson has reminded me a lot. I' ve never taken anything that was not mine away. Once, I left a store wearing a pair of sunglasses I'd tried on and then I 4 gave it back. But that made me feel 5 for months.

Though my childhood memories are not 6 , such moments when my parents told me good values are always in my mind. They provided a standard of good7 : to put myself in others' shoes and to control my greed(贪欲).

The social environment in the coming age 8 each generation's value, but families have the deeper effect on children. The right values from our parents can finally lead us to 9 .

I believe in truth because my parents raise me to do so, even though sometimes my opinions are different from theirs. I believe in 10 because my parents set me good examples. They cure the sick and visit the lonely. I believe in working hard because my parents devote themselves to the society. Good values from my family have shaped me. And I will pass them on to my kids.

Yang Jiang, the famous woman writer and translator (翻译家), is well- known to us all. 

Yang was born in Beijing in 1911. Her real name is Yang Jikang. She graduated from university and went to Tsinghua University as a postgraduate (研究生) in the 1930s. There she met Qian Zhongshu. They fell in love and got married. In the 1940s, she started to use the name Yang Jiang as her pen name. Since then, she has been commonly known as Madam Yang Jiang. In the 1950s, she worked for Peking University and started to learn Spanish. She began to write short novels in the 1980s. Many of them are famous, such as The Old Wang (《老王》), After Baptism (《洗澡之后》) and We Three (《我们仨》).

Although Madam Yang has passed away, we will never forget the great madam. 

Every week I have a two-day holiday. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}So every weekend I have a good time. 

 {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I sometimes go to the countryside with my classmates by bus to breathe
（呼吸）the fresh air, climb the hills and enjoy the beauty of nature. Sometimes I go for 
a picnic in the open air with my friends by bike. There we draw pictures and take photos. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Last Saturday, I went on a trip with my parents. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} We sat around it, singing and dancing happily. When we felt tired, we sat together, looked at the stars and chatted（聊天）for a long time, and then went to sleep in the tent. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
