This is a   1 of my family.  2   Frank, I am twelve. I study(学习) in No.2 Middle School. This is my father.  3  name is Dale Brown. He is a teacher in my school. He teaches English. And this is my mother. Her name is  4  . She is a  5 , too. Who's that woman  6my father? Oh, she is my aunt. She is a nurse. My grandparents aren't in the photo.   7 are in the USA. I  8  a dog.   9name is Dick. I love my  10 very much.

    Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble.

    One day, two 1 were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very 2. They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town If you are, we will help carry your basket.”

    “Thank you,” 3 the woman, “you are very kind. You see I'm weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was now going to market to 4 the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.

    “We are all going to the 5.” said the boys. “Let us have the basket.” And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked 6 with the heavy basket, but happily.

    The other day, I saw a little girl stop and 7. a piece of orange peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶), “I wish 8 would throw that on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may step on it and fall.”

    Perhaps some may say that these are not 9 things. That is right. But such a little thing shows that you have a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart. We must not wait for the 10 to do great things. We must begin with little things of love.

    The Americans were getting ready to send their first man to the moon, an old Irishman (爱尔兰人) was 1 them on TV in a hotel room. There was an Englishman in the room 2. And he said to the Irishman, “The Americans are very 3, aren't they? They are going to send some men to the moon. It's a very 4 way from our world.” “Oh, that's 5,”the Irishman answered quickly.” “The Irishman are going to send some men to the sun in months' 6. That's much 7away than the moon, you know. “The Englishman was very 8 when he heard this. “Oh, yes it is,” he said, “But the sun is too 9 for people to visit.”

    The Irishman laughed and answered, “Well, the Irish are clever, too, you know. We 10 go to the sun during the day, of course. We'll go there during the night.”

    My family has had a cat for years, and we all love her. But one day, a 1 came to my house as a new pet. The little dog was 2 and everyone in my family wanted to play with him. 3, the cat didn't like him, because she didn't want to live with4pet in the house. But the dog loved her and followed her all the time, 5to play with her.

    One day, a lynx(猞猁)6 the cat, and the lynx planned to have the cat for lunch. When the little dog saw this, he ran towards the lynx

quickly,7 any hesitation(犹豫). The dog was much 8than the dangerous animal. He did everything he could9 his friend. The children happened to see him, so, after that they gave the dog a new name: "Hero Dog".

    From then on, the cat began to be friendly to the dog. 10 followed the hero dog everywhere and even let the dog eat from her bowl. It was clear that the cat considered(认为) the little dog as a hero dog.

    It was a sunny day yesterday. After a whole day's work in my office, I walked home. On the busy street, I saw a young man 1 some small toys around the corner. Usually, I would hurry 2 such sellers and never buy anything. But when I noticed he was 3, I decided to stand there for some time. I wanted to see 4 he sold his toys.

    Soon, a little girl came with her mother and wanted a toy that could 5 a noise. Kids like such toys because the noise sounds really funny. The toy was 18 yuan. The mother 6 a 20-yuan note(钞票). She told the young man how much she was giving him and wanted the change(找零) 7. I was wondering what he was going to do next. He told the mother to put the money in his bag and get the change 8. Then she did so.

    What the young man did shocked me. He chose to 9 people even if he couldn't see. He let me know believing in people is a 10 thing. It brings us warmth and love. I was so touched that I made a 11 to buy a toy although I didn't need it at all. He said it cost 18 yuan and I told him that I had only one 20-yuan note. Again he told me to do the same thing as the mother. I put my 20 yuan in his bag, 12 I didn't take any change.

    As I walked down the street, I saw another little girl with her father and gave her the, 13 I bought. She looked at me in surprise and then thanked me 14. I was happy to see the smile on her face.

    The young man was a good 15 to us all. On my way home, I kept thinking the world would be a better place if we all could learn to trust people more, just like the blind street seller.
