I walked through the door of the office building I worked in. Then I realized that I needed some money so I went to the 1 at the corner of the street.

    As I finished and turned to 2, I saw a wallet on the counter(柜台). The wallet was brown and 3 three hundred dollars, a driver's license, and a 4 card. I didn't know the name on the license, but 5 he was, he was going to be in panic.

    I went home with the wallet. In my apartment, I  6 the online phone book and found no one to 7 the name on the card in the wallet. I really wanted to 8 the man. If it had been my wallet, I would have been sick to my stomach with 9. I 10 the bank card and became 11 in thought. 12 a fresh idea flashed through my mind. On the back was the number to his bank.

"Thank you for 13 Wachovia Bank. Can I help you?" "I found a wallet at one of your bank machines today and I am trying to find the 14." "That's very nice of you, sir. Can you 15 me the number on the card please?" I did what I was told and, "Can you tell me his phone number? I want to contact him to 16 his wallet." "I'm sorry, sir, but we cannot give out the 17 information of our customers." "I understand. Can I give you my telephone number? You could call him and tell him who I am." "I can 18 do that, sir."

I gave her my contact information and hung up. Two days later, a gentleman found me. He 19 thought he would see his wallet again. He was so 20 that he kept saying "thanks" many times.

    I smiled all day long. Doing good for others does good for you.

    “It's nice having a friend,” said Mole (鼹鼠) to Rabbit as they sat talking in the sun one day.

    “Oh, it is!” said Rabbit. “Very useful, too, 1 if you need help. 2, I think I'd like Bull (公牛) to be my friend.” said Mole.

    “But I'm your friend!” said Mole, feeling 3.

    “Oh, yes,” said Rabbit. “You are good for talking to and laughing with, 4 you are too small. When I need help, I 5 someone big and strong like Bull. He would be a very good friend to have. It would be 6 shouting for him when I need help.”

    Mole went off in anger.

    “Oh, well, I need to 7 something,” Rabbit thought.

    He moved along 8 he found a tiny garden. He had just started on his first leaf when there was a big 9. People were shouting and dogs were barking (吠叫). Rabbit was so afraid and in such a10 to get away that he ran into the wrong hole. The hole was too 11 and Rabbit got stuck. He could not 12 at all.

    “Help!” cried Rabbit.

    Mole 13 him. He ran up to see what was the matter.

    “Help!” cried Rabbit. “I'm stuck in this hole.”

    “If you want help,” said Mole, “I'd better 14 Bull.”

    “No!” cried Rabbit. “He's no good! He's too big to get into this 15. You're just the right 16! Please help me, Mole!”

    So Mole began digging around Rabbit. He 17 so fast that Rabbit was 18 in no time.

    “I'm sorry, Mole. I was  19,” Rabbit said. “I'm 20 I have you for a friend.”

    And so the two good friends set off for home together.

Joy to the World

    Lights, decorations and Christmas trees filled the stores. Many people were there   because Christmas was only two days 1.

    Thirteen-year-old Joy had just 2 her Christmas shopping. Joy went out of the store and 3 her classmate, Nick, the least 4 student in school, who wore strange clothing and had a face only a mother could love.

    "What are you doing for Christmas?" said Nick with a smile that showed all his yellow teeth.

    "I'm buying presents and having dinner with my 5 ," said Joy, trying to be polite. "What about you?"

    "My parents are away," he said. "I live with my uncle, who doesn't like me very much."

    Joy wasn't sure how to 6, so she said goodbye with an awkward(尴尬的) smile. She felt sorry for Nick since he must feel 7. But it wasn't really her problem.

    On Christmas Eve, Joy's family were busy around 8 for the holiday. Joy's parents were cooking in the kitchen. Joy was a child for holiday cheer, dancing around the house.

    After dinner, the family got into their car and 9to church for the Christmas Eve service. When they walked into the old building, they were 10 by the flow of beautiful songs. A man stood up with Bible and 11 the story Joy had learned on her mother's knee. It was about a baby named Jesus who came to live on Earth to help people who 12 him.

    Joy's thoughts kept turning back to Nick. It must be 13 to be lonely on Christmas, a day that celebrated God's Son coming to Earth. Tears started to run down her 14, but she brushed them away.

    Joy lay awake that night 15 everyone else was sleeping like a baby. She was thinking of ways to help Nick. 16 she heard parents get up, she jumped out of bed. She found them in the kitchen and told them about Nick. Then she asked, "Can we invite him 17 today?" "Sure," answered Joy's mother, who was always happy when 18 came. Her father smiled.

    When Joy called Nick later that day, he was excited. After getting his uncle's 19he joined them for dinner. To her surprise, Joy enjoyed spending time with him.

    Joy came to understand 20 Christmas cheer is a joy to Nick, even to the whole world.

    Reggie couldn't hear a thing. He was a1boy, but he had been born deaf.  He was well-known to everyone in town, and they were all2him. Unfortunately, though, he3seemed to end up being treated differently from everyone else. Children worried they would4him, and that maybe because he wouldn't hear the ball being hit in his5. Adults acted like he was unable to6them, as though he was some kind of baby.

    His friend Michael didn't like this. He decided that things had to be7. Michael's father was the town's mayor(市长), and Michael8to convince him that this year, in honor of Reggie, they should offer one day of the9to deaf people. During that whole day everyone would have to wear earplugs(耳塞).

    People liked the10. The day became known as The Day of Silence, and when it arrived, everyone stuck plugs in their11, in a spirit of great fun. That morning was filled with12and laughter. But, as the hours passed, people became more and more aware of how13life was when they couldn't hear anything.

    On that day nobody was thinking of Reggie as just a14person. This meant he could be15just like any other boy, and people saw a whole new side of16. Not only that, but Reggie had a bright and sharp mind. On that day, using his usual17, Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone. This meant that people paid more attention to what he was saying, and they were18by his intelligence and his ability to find solutions to almost any problem. They19that he had always been like that, and that in normal life all Reggie needed was a little more time than others to20. That was the only difference.

    Jane's mother worked on the farm from dawn till dark and she just could make ends meet. To make Jane live a1life, she was very careful about spending money.2, Jane didn't understand her. Every day she was busy with her 433while Jane was studying at school, so they had little time to enjoy themselves.

    One day, she realized Jane was unhappy and even 44to her, so she decided to go 45with Jane to make Jane happy.

    On Sunday morning they went happily to the snowfield. Since they were 6in white clothes, the manager advised them to buy ski clothes. He said 47there was an accident, they might be easily 48in their ski clothes. They couldn't 49them, so she refused.

    Then they went skiing in their white clothes. They were skiing happily on the 10when suddenly the snowfield began to11. It was a snow slide(雪崩). They ran a long way and

    12the snow slide finally, but they couldn't find their way. Later, a helicopter was flying above,13people on it couldn't see or hear them. Jane was14because she had hurt her head seriously and15dropped on the snow. Just then an idea struck her mother. She pierced (刺破) her own wrist16and let bright red blood drop on the snow. A red SOS was written. At last Jane17, but her mother died.

    Every time I18the blood dropping on the snow, I feel19. I believe anyone who hears the tragedy will20Jane's mother for her selfless love to her daughter.

    Stars guide the way for us in the dark. Some are 1, others are dim, but they all shine together as if they're 2 the ups and downs of life. Among them, I try to find Hazel's, the heroine of the novel The Fault in Our Stars, written by U.S. author John Green.

    Hazel is a 16-year-old girl who has cancer. In her 3 group, she wins a boy's love, who has lost a leg and he also has 4. They fight pain, fear and death together. 5 their lives are hard, Hazel has a strong will. She never 6, and even silently 7 the happiness of people around her, behind which, I believe, it is the inner spirit that makes her 8.

    Hazel isn't 9. She quarrels with her parents, like most teenagers. But most of the time, she's very 10, never letting cancer be an excuse to 11 her life. She regards cancer as a side effect of death, which everyone will 12 one day. She accepts the fact that "the world is not a wish-granting factory", so she13 every single moment in life, no matter if it's 14 or sweet.

    That's 15 I admire her. I don't experience the pain and the challenge that Hazel has faced, but 16, I come across many difficulties. When I'm in 17, I always wonder what I can do about it. If there's no more mercy I can beg for, then I try to find 18 in my heart. Hazel has taught me that we should love and appreciate life as it is, forget today's 19, and live life to its fullest. 20, tomorrow is another day.
