Mr. Black was over fifty years old. He sometimes made some mistakes in his work, and he lost his work. So he had 1 time every day to do something. Then he often met his old friends under a big tree. They had a drink there and 2 anything they liked.

    One day, some old men were sitting together again and talking about young people in this world. They all agreed that the old people were 3 than young people. Then one of the old 4 said that young men were stronger than old men.

    5of them agreed that this was true, 6 Mr. Black didn't. He said, "No, I am as strong now as when I was a young man." His friends were surprised 7 what he said.

    "Well," said Mr Black. "Near my house there is a big stone. When I was a young man, I used 8 to move it. But I couldn't because I was not 9. I am an old man now, and when I try to move it, I still 10. So I am as strong as when I was young. "

    Vincent got up at half past six in the morning. He hurriedly put on his clothes and finished the 1  prepared by Grandma. His grandparents were the only two people 2 with him. As soon as he waved goodbye to them, Vincent 3out to the small car park (停车场). Dad's car was already there.

    "Good morning, Dad. You are earlier than I expected," said Vincent. And he got into the car happily.

    "I 4  you," Dad smiled and drove off.

    "Me too. 5  can I live with Mum and you again?" asked Vincent.

    "I've told you hundreds of times. Mum will be back in two months. We will live together again then. Mum always loves her6 and she wants to take the chance to meet more clients (客户)," Dad explained, "And her boss told her that she might become the manager. Are you7  ?"

    "Not at all. Is work more important than me?" asked Vincent.

    "No, of course not. You are the most important to Mum and Dad, 8 we have to work. You will understand us when you grow up," said Dad as he 9 at the school gate.

    Vincent got out of the 10 . Dad drove off, going back to his office.

    A little girl thought she was not beautiful and nobody liked her. So she was always 1 and didn't like to talk to others. However, one day, her mother 2  her a beautiful hair clip (发夹). When she wore it, she looked much more beautiful than before. She decided 3 it to school.

    On her way to school she found that 4 who saw her smiled at her. Most of her classmates said “hello” 5 her, but this never happened before. She thought that the beautiful hair clip had brought them all to her. She was so happy about all of the wonderful things.6 she didn't tell her classmates about her beautiful hair clip, they all wanted to know what had happened to her.

    When she went 7 home after school, her mother 8 her, “Did you know you dropped your hair clip? I found it by the door this morning.” At this time, the girl understood that she hadn't worn the hair clip to school at all.

    It is not important 9 we wear or how we look. The most important is how we think about 10.

    I first went to hear a live rock concert when I was eight years old. My brother and his friends were all1of a heavy metal group called Black Wednesday. When they 2that Black Wednesday were going to perform at our local theatre, they all bought 3for the performance. However, at the last minute, one of the friends couldn't go, so my brother4me the ticket. I was really5!

    I remember the buzz(嘈杂声)of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our 6. After a few minutes, the lights went down and everybody became7. I could barely make out the stage in the8. We waited. Then there was a roar from the crowd, like an explosion, as the first members of the band9the stage. My brother learned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn't10what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as11as a Jet engine. I could12the drum beats and the bass notes in my stomach.

    I can't recall any of the songs that the band played. I just13that I really enjoyed the show and didn't want it to14. But in the end, after three encores(加演), the show finished. We left the15and walked unsteadily out onto the pavement. I felt a little dizzy, as if I had just16from a long sleep. My ears were still17with the beat of the last song.

    After the18, I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while, 19, I listen to one of their songs and20I'm back at that first show.

    This story happened in a small mountain village. One day there was an earthquake. Nothing was destroyed and 1 was hurt. But a huge rock fell from a nearby mountain and stopped in the middle of the road.

    When the earthquake 2, many people came to the road and saw the huge rock. Some of the strongest men tried to lift the rock 3 the road. But they couldn't move it.' They tried to push it but failed. They tried to 4 it with ropes but nothing worked.

    "Well," they all agreed, "there's nothing we can do about it. We'll have to change the 5." At this time a boy of 12 years old said, "I think I can help you to move the rock."

    "You?" they shouted." What are you talking about?" The men all 6at the boy.

    The next morning some people came to the road. One of them shouted," The rock is 7!" More people ran out to see it. It was right. The rock wasn't in the road any more. It wasn't 8 near the road.

    "This is 9 ， " they said." Where did it go?"

    The boy stood on the road, 10, "I told you I could move it. "

    The boy walked over to where the 11 had been and uncovered some earth. "I buried it," he said.

    The people looked 12"You see," he said, "I dug a deep hole next to the rock and I dug a small incline(斜坡) up to the rock and the rock 13 down into the hole by itself. I covered it with earth. "

    The crowds shouted," What a 14 boy!" And some of them said, "Why haven't we thought of this good 15 ?"
