A few days ago, I got a call from an old friend of mine. We 1 our school and the good old days. Then, he started talking about his father.

    His father was badly ill in hospital. He 2 sleep at night and often talked to himself. My friend was 3 about this and shouted at his father to stop talking. But after stopping 4, his father fell unconscious(不省人事的). My friend was very sad. He thought it was his fault(过错). My friend was so sad that he 5 like a baby on the telephone. He said he would do 6 if his father could wake up.

    Some kids often feel unhappy when they have to take care of their 7. But do you know that our parents take care of us 8 stay with us for our lifetime?

    My dear friends, from now on, 9 say a bad word to your parents. Take care of them and stay with them. Even if it only 10 you a second, you parents will be happy to be with you! Do you agree with me?

    One day, Mr John, a rich and fussy man, walked into a restaurant. He would like to have a meal there. The waiters of the restaurant felt terrible when they saw 1. They knew he always wanted the best but would only pay 2.

    A waiter gave the menu to Mr. John and he decided to order a bowl of oxtail soup. The waiter took the order and left as 3 as he could.

 4the dish was served. Mr. John tasted it and then called the waiter. All the waiters knew he would ask 5 the proof that the soup was made of real oxtail, 6, the smart waiter just smiled and went over. After listening to Mr. John's question, the waiter went into the kitchen and then he brought an ox with no tail. Mr. John had 7 to say but to go on with his meal.

    Rudi Matt lived in a small village in the Swiss Apls in 1865. What he wanted most in the world was to climb the1peak(山峰) in the Alps, Rudi's mother and his uncle, Franz, a mountain guide, wanted him to stop climbing and start working in a hotel. Rudi would not2his dream and secretly got in touch with an English mountain climber who was planning to climb the highest peak.

    Franz was very3when he found out what Rudi had done, but he finally agreed to let Rudi go if he went climbing too. Franz also didn't want Emil Saxo, a guide from another village, to go to the top4him.

    Rudi turned out to be a very good climber, but as they got close to the top, the Englishman got sick and could not go farther. Franz stayed behind to take care of him, but Saxo continued, wishing to be the5to the top. Rudi went after Saxo, hoping to beat him to the top. When they met, Saxo fought with Rudi and fell down by accident. Saxo was helpless and hurt. Rudi must6whether to carry Saxo back down to safety or to continue alone to the top.

    He decided Saxo's life was more important than his dream and helped him down.
