In a small room, Jenny was lying in bed waiting for an operation (手术), nervous and worried. To her surprise, a new patient was sent into the room. After a kind greeting (打招呼), they began to talk. The 80-year-old newcomer was named Susan. She had two children. Her son was boss of a big company and her daughter worked in a TV station. As her children were too busy to take care of Susan, she lived in an old people's home. Susan was proud of her children who had wonderful jobs and made a lot of money. Jenny really envied (羡慕)Susan. Compared with Susan, Jenny was nothing but an ordinary (普通的) woman from the countryside. Her children were just ordinary workers.

Soon, it was supper time, Jenny's daughter cooked several dishes which were her favorite. Jenny invited Susan to share her supper, but she did not accept the invitation. Susan was expecting her daughter when she received a call. Unfortunately (不幸), her children couldn't come to visit her. Worse still, Susan had missed the mealtime in the hospital. She lay in bed, disappointed and silent. Jenny's daughter offered to buy her some food but she had no appetite (食欲) at all.

The next day, Jenny and Susan would go through a series of regular medical checks (一连串的常规检查) before the operation. Jenny's daughter took care of her carefully while Susan was still alone. Out of sympathy (出于同情), Jenny's daughter helped to queue up (排队), fill in different forms and register (挂号) for Susan. For several days in hospital, even during her operation, Susan's children didn't come. Susan really envied Jenny as her daughter looked after her all the time until she recovered and moved out of hospital.

Care from the loved ones can really make one happy and encouraged, especially for old parents. So don't forget to look after your parents even while you are busy working.

Rick and Henry are good friends. They play together every day. 

One night, Rick calls Henry, "Tomorrow will be a fine day. Shall we go out to play football? ""Henry likes football, so he says, "OK. Let's meet at 2: 30 pm. "

The next day, Rick comes to Henry's home on time. But Henry is lying on his bed and playing mobile games. He says to Rick," ▲ "

"OK, "says Rick. He waits for about one hour, but Henry still doesn't come out. At this time, Henry says, "I don't want to go out now. Why don't you go alone? "

Hearing this, Rick goes away angrily(生气地). He says to himself, "I'm not going to play with him any more! "

In the evening, Henry's mother has a talk with him. "You can't break your words like this, or you will have no friends. "Henry feels worried. He says, "I'm wrong. "Then he calls Rick and says sorry to him. And he goes to Rick's home early the next morning!

Once upon a time，in a forest far away，there lived a group of animals. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}them were a fox，a  rabbit and a panda. They were good friends and spent most of their time together. 

One day，they{#blank#}2{#/blank#}to build a house for themselves. The fox advised them to build it in the hole of a tree so that they could{#blank#}3{#/blank#}warm and clean on rainy days. The rabbit advised them to build it near the middle of the forest. It would be{#blank#}4{#/blank#}for them to hide from danger. The panda advised them to build it near the river. Then，they could drink water{#blank#}5{#/blank#}they want. 

The animals were talking for hours. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}to agree on the best location for their house. As they{#blank#}7{#/blank#}，a wise old bird flew down to them and asked them what the position was. 

The animals explained their{#blank#}8{#/blank#}to the bird and the bird listened carefully. After thinking for a few moments，the bird said. "My dear friends，you all have your own points，but you are forgetting one important thing. You are a team，and as a team，you must work together to solve this problem. "

The bird advised them to build their house in a place that was in a hole in a tree，that was in the middle of the forest and{#blank#}9{#/blank#}to the river. 

The animals listened to the bird's advice and worked together to build their house in a place that{#blank#}10{#/blank#}all their needs. From that day on，they worked as a team and never argued again. 

Our family went to the Yellow Stone National Park last summer vacation. Our son, Tom, wanted to see bears there. And what an experience it was!

When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore（探险）. As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear go into our camp. 

Tom wanted his father to chase（追赶）him away. 

His father said, "No. It's dangerous to chase a bear. And don't let him chase you."

Susie said, "What shall we do? Maybe we should climb a tree."

Tom said, "No. We have to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent."

"Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat." Susie suggested. 

Then I said, "How are you going to get the honey? It's in the tent."

We watched the bear go into the tent and heard him upset（翻倒）everything inside. 

"It's foolish for us to try to chase him away." said my husband, "Leave him alone and wait for him to come out."

We waited, but the bear stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car that night.

I dreamed of being a football star when I was a high school student. During my first year there I was a very 1 boy. I was only 50kg. I joined in some football games but spent most of my time 2 on the bench (替补队员席). So I decided to do 3 . Drinking a lot of milk made me much 4 . Before the football season started, I thought I could make 5 succeed in being stronger at last. But I was soon 6 when I saw that I was still smaller than most of the other boys. 

During one of the 7 of the season, the teacher let me play first. I was 8 and jumped up and down. But I still lost. 

I lost many times. I hoped to be a 9 player. But finally I found that I couldn't make it 10 . For a long time I was really unhappy about this and thought about giving up. 11 as time went by, I knew that enjoying the feeling (感觉) of working hard was necessary. In fact, the 12 wasn't the most important thing. Now, my friend is celebrating for me in a party because I 13 a football game this morning. I didn't succeed before. It is the 14 time that I have won a football game. I succeed after lots of 15 . I never give up and fight on. 

My name is Bill. I love animals. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}The Dog is black and the cat is white. They both look beautiful. My dog's name is Heihei. He is very smart. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}He likes running around me. I take him to play sports in the park every morning，Mimi is the name of my cat. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}She often sleeps in the day. So she is very fat. She likes playing with balls.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}I give them something to eat and then play with them. They are good friends，but sometimes they fight. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}I like them very much.
