    Once there was a parrot on sale in a pet store. It was a beautiful red and blue bird.  It sat on a perch in the middle of the store so that everyone could see it when they came in. The owner was very proud of it and asked a high price for it.

    One day a man went into the store. "That's a beautiful bird," he said to the pet store owner. "But why is it so expensive? Is it an unusual bird?"

    "No, it's not very unusual. It's expensive because it can talk," the pet store owner said.

    "I see. How can I make it talk?" the man asked.

    The pet store owner asked him, "Do you see those strings tied to each of the bird's legs?"

    "Yes," the man answered.

    "Well, you pull those strings," the pet store owner told him."That will make the parrot talk."

    The man asked, "Do you mind if I try?"

    "Not at all," the pet store owner said.

    The man walked up to the parrot and pulled the string on its left leg. The parrot said, "Good morning."

    The man pulled the string on the parrot's right leg. This time the parrot said, "How are you today?"

    "That's not very interesting," said the man."Any parrot could do that." Then he laughed, "But what would happen if I pulled both strings at the same time?"

    "I'll fall off my perch, you fool!"the parrot said.

Alice is our new foreign teacher. She has changed a lot in the past five years. 

 There is an old tree on a dry land. The tree has so many branches(树枝). It brings shadow to hundreds of travelers.

 One day, two travelers got to the tree. They walked for a long time in the hot sun. They were too hot and tired to walk any more. Luckily, they found the big tree.

 They decided to take a rest under the tree. They slept there for a while. When they woke up, they felt hungry and one traveler climbed up the tree. But he was sad to see nothing.

 He started to say bad words to the tree. "Oh, this is just a useless tree without any fruit on." The other traveler said nothing about the tree but asked his friend to be quiet. However, the traveler in the tree still shouted at the tree.

 The tree couldn't stand the traveler at last. He said in a sad yet strong voice, "You can't be ungrateful(忘恩负义的) to me. Just look back to the moment when you got here in the hot sun! I gave you a cool and comfortable place to rest. You would die now without me!"

 Many people do much for us, but we sometimes forget to give thanks but only complain! Make sure not to say any bad words to the one who has helped you.

When we were young, people always liked to question us about what kind of job we wanted to have. And some school students said they wanted to be a scientist, a computer programmer, or a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(飞行员). 

To be honest, I didn't know what I wanted to be when I was a middle school student. My mother wanted me to be a pianist, but I didn't take it {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(严肃地) because I couldn't {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(忍受)practicing it every day. My father wanted me to be an engineer like him, but I thought it was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(毫无意义的). 

Through some years, I went to college to go on my {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(教育). I kept everything in all my {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (日记). At the start of the new term, I got a part-time job at the school radio station. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(期待) to discuss the school life with other students and make many friends there. 

Without this working experience, I could never know what I really wanted. 

Four years later, I got a full-time job at our local radio station. I hoped that I could {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(改善)other people's life. So I made a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(承诺) to myself that I would work hard on it and they just did what I advised. My program was quite {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(成功的) and I had lots of fans. I enjoy my job and my life now.
