A young man from a village called Nawalapitiya married a young woman from Maiyuwa, a small village. They lived with the man's big family—his parents, his brothers, their wives and children. The family kept an elephant, in which the woman soon took a great interest. Every day she fed it with fruit and sugar.

    Three months later, having quarreled with her husband, the woman went back to her parents' home. Soon the elephant refused to eat and work. It appeared to be ill and heartbroken. One morning after several weeks the animal disappeared from the house.

    It went to the woman's home. On seeing her, the elephant waved its trunk and touched her with it. The young woman was so moved by the act of the animal. So she went back to her husband's home.

    If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that. Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry. But it never lets you know. It 1 serves your needs and never lets itself grow because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. When mind loses 2 freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This 3be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?"

     In fact, hunger of the mind 4 through wide reading. Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading 5 the most educative tool used by us since our childhood.

    Once you read a book, you run your eyes 6 the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. The interesting part of the book 7 is stored in your mind is regarded as a seed（种子）. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate lots of things. You can never think of these things even in 8 dreams in your life.

    This is creativity. Also this helps you 9your vocabulary. In no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language 10you will never run out of the right words. So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading.

Hello, I'm Anna. The summer holiday is coming. What's your plan for it? I would like to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (分享)mine with you. This holiday, I will go on a summer {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (营地) in London first. I'm going to learn to draw, make new friends and go {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(观光) there. Anyway, I will have a lot of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(乐趣). Then after coming back from London, I am going to visit my grandparents in the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(乡下). l will help them with some farm work and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(家务劳动). l also want to do some volunteer work {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(在……期间) the summer holiday, such as helping in an old people's home and collecting {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(垃圾) in the park. I think I will have a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(极好的) holiday. I really look{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(向前)to it! 

Every Sunday morning，I take a jog（慢跑）around a park near my home. There＇s a lake in one corner of the1 . Each time I jog by this lake, I see the2 woman sitting by the lake with a small metal cage（金属笼）beside3 . 

Last Sunday，my curiosity（好奇心）got the better of me，4 I stopped jogging and walked over to her. As I went5 ,I found that inside the metal cage were three turtles, slowly walking around.  She had a fourth turtle in her lap（大腿）that she was6 brushing. 

"Hello,why are you always sitting here?"I said. "And I'd love to know7 you're doing with these turtles. "

She smiled and replied， ＂T＇m 8 their shells（龟壳）. Anything on a turtle＇s shell， like algae or scum, stops the turtle from swimming. It is also9 for the shell over time. It's my own way of making a10 . 

"Wow! That's really nice of you! But there are11 living in lakes all around the world. And hardly any of these turtles have people kind enough like you to12 them. So how exactly are you13 that you can make a change?" I questioned. 

The old woman14 at the turtle in her lap, brushed the last piece of algae from its shell. She then15 warmly and said, "Sweetie, if this little one could talk, he'd tell you I just changed his whole world. "
