The Paper Boy

    Before I could turn 10, I had lost my parents. To support myself and my education, I began to deliver newspapers.

    I would get up every morning at 5 am and walk five kilometers from Hydery to the newspaper office in Bazar. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies of newspaper which must have weighed over five kilos. After delivering them, I would rush home, another three kilometers away, cook my breakfast, eat quickly and go to school.

    One morning, I found a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Jimmy and said his parents wanted to see me. I guessed they wished to subscribe to (订阅) the newspaper, so I followed him to his place nearby.

    Jimmy's mother opened the door. She served me a large plate of snacks and fruit salad. It was a rich breakfast one that brought back memories of the happy time with my parents. As I was about to leave, Jimmy's father, Mr. Kader, appeared with a new bicycle.

    "This is for you!" He said, patting my shoulder.

    "But I have no money!" I replied.

    "Who is asking you to pay for this, my son?" He continued.

    It took me a few seconds to sense the warm moment. I didn't even realize my tears were rolling down my face. Jimmy's mother held me closely. It was like home, as if my mother were there.

    I bowed, thankfully, and left. This time, I didn't have to walk—I had the bicycle!

    The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a lifelong lesson: Help should always be need-based.

(1)、How did the writer support himself?
A、By selling the newspaper. B、By collecting newspaper. C、By delivering newspaper. D、By printing the newspaper.
(2)、Jimmy's parents asked the writer to their home because _______.
A、they wanted him to buy snacks B、they wanted to help him C、they wished him to be their son D、they wished to thank him

This is a story about a storm in Moscow. It happened several years ago. It was my first time that I had seen such a 1 storm.

It was a sunny day in July, and I was at home watching TV. The window was open 2 the weather was so hot. Suddenly, I felt a strong wind from outside. I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees 3 over because of the strong wind. I tried to 4 the window, but the wind made me fall down. I was afraid that the glass might break. I stood up and tried to close the window again. 5 , I made it.

Then I looked outside. I found that the big tree in front of my house was going to fall to the ground and its 6 had broken off. There was frequent(频繁的)thunder and lightning. I started to 7 all the appliances as quickly as possible.

After a while, the wind stopped, but it began to hail (下冰雹). After about ten minutes, everything stopped, and the Sun came out again. How 8 the weather was! A few minutes later, the phone began to ring. It was my friend. We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm.

In the streets, many trees died because of the 9 . For a few days, people helped clean parks and gardens. Some people's cars were damaged by trees' falling branches on them. The 10 tells me that in the face of natural disasters, human beings are insignificant(微不足道的). We can't stop them, but we must protect ourselves from them.

In a small village, there was a young boy named Mark. He was in the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} grade in a middle school. His parents went {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, so he lived with his grandmother.
