I will always remember my first day at the University of Lagos. On arrival at the campus, I was expecting to be met by some tired students(as was practiced in my secondary school), 1 every student around was new like myself. I asked the way to the multi-purpose hall but no one could tell me. I asked a number of questions about issues(担心的事）that 2 me, such as where and how to pay my fees, the way to the dining hall and so on, but no 3 was offered. “So in the midst of so many people I am all 4 ” I thought to myself. The prospect(前景) was not 5 at all and all the pleasure I had felt at 6 into a famous university at seventeen began to disappear.

    Then as if 7 by an unknown force, I walked a little bit down the corridor in the direction of a notice board which some boys and girls were 8at. Because of 9of something to do, I decided to stop and look at the notice board. Yes! I happened on the 10to all riddles that had 11 me since I set foot on the campus that morning. On the board there was a big campus 12, on which I was able to 13 the multi-purpose hall and all the other places. There were 14 details of various activities for freshmen and a comprehensive list of those offered admission into various courses.

    How enjoyable it was to see the light of knowledge, having been wandering（徘徊） in the darkness of 15. Even then I was not able to 16 the thought that though I could not be sure how much of the responsibility（责任）was mine, the fact that I didn't pay attention to the notice board had 17 caused my initial problems. I learnt from that incident（发生的事） 18 unforgettable that was very useful to me throughout my stay in the university, namely（即, 也就是）the 19 of reading notice board and handbooks if one is to be well 20 about places and events in the university.

    An old man lived with his little grandson. Every day the old man got up early to read books.His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to copy him every 1  he could.

One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I want to read books as you do. But I don't understand it, and I always forget 2 I close the book. What good does 3 do?”

The grandfather quietly turned from putting 4 in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.”

The boy did as his grandpa said, but all the water leaked（漏）out before he got back home.

The grandfather laughed and said, “You'll have to walk faster next time.”

The next time the boy ran faster, but the basket was still empty before he 5 home. The boy said, “see, Grandpa, it's 6  to finish this task!”

     “Is it no use?” the old man said. “ 7  the basket.”

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was 8 . Instead of a dirty old coal basket, it was 9 inside and out.

     “My child, that's what happens when you read the book. You might not understand or remember everything, but the 10  will change you inside and out. That is the work of reading in our lives.”

    There was a football game on our school football field last week. We played 1 a team from a country school. They didn't come 2 the last minute. They looked worse than we thought. They were wearing 3 clothes and looked like farm boys. We were sure we must be the 4 because we were always the best.

    We found in 5 that they did much better than us after the game began. They 6 their best and they always played as a team. But we didn't. Finally, we 7 the game and we all felt unhappy.

    We thought much 8 the game. We're too proud(骄傲). We're good players, but we can't 9 win. For us, the most important 10 is; One can't judge(判断) a person only by his clothes. We'll never forget the game!

    Peter and Jack are good friends. They 1 everything together. One day, Peter hurt his arm (胳膊受伤) when he was playing soccer. Three days later, Jack hurt his 2, too.

    "We are cool, right?" said Peter. The first week was 3. Peter and Jack didn't need to 4 in P.E. class. They didn't need to do 5 homework, either. The second week they 6 it was not so good. Many things were 7 to do with one arm. Peter couldn't play computer games. Jack couldn't fish. The third week they felt depressed (沮丧的) 8 they couldn't swim when they went to the 9 with their classmates. They had to watch others 10. Peter said to Jack, "I hope our arms can recover (康复) soon."

    Last summer, we had a volunteer activity in a village school. In the school. I saw a name Feng Aiguo on a list. This man offered much money to the school. I thought he must be a1 man.

    One day, on my way home from school, my bike was broken. Luckily I found a repairing stand(修车摊)across from the street. An old man was 2 a bike. He was wearing a clean suit. He looked energetic(精力充沛的). While waiting. I knew 3 about him from the old men chatting there. He was Lao Feng and 4to repair bikes after he repaired(退休). Two months ago, his family moved to a new house. His son didn't want him to repair bikes any longer. He bought him suits and asked him to 5 them and rest at home. But it didn't work. The old man continued his repairing work in his suits.

    After a while, the old man got my bike repaired. 6 I was leaving an old lady came and called him "Aiguo". 7 the name on the list of the village school came into my mind. But how could such a common repairman 8so much money? I asked him if he knew that village. He told me it was his hometown and the 9there still needed help. So he always saved money by repairing bikes to help them. Then I was sure that he was the person on the 10.
