I was on my way to work. Arriving at the station I found my train was 1 because of the bad weather. I had to 2 for two hours at the bus station. A lady sat beside me. I could notice how 3 she looked. She seemed very worried. I asked her if she was waiting for the next train. She didn't 4 . I asked her again. She replied, "Uhuh. Yes." Then she wiped(擦) her eyes.

    I said, "Hey dear, what is wrong? Why are you crying?" She told me her story. She told me that her father 5 the year before. She used to have a job, but she wanted to look after her sick mother who lived alone, 6 she stopped working. Her family was 7 and she could not pay the doctor's bills (账单) of her mother .Then she said she even planned to kill herself. I was shocked!

    She stayed another half an hour while I tried to comfort her to be brave. I told her I would try to get her a good 8 that would pay well. And I told her to believe she could have a better life.

    I passed her my 9 and asked her to ring me if she needed help. She smiled and said, "Thanks for your 10 and I promise. I won't have any more terrible thoughts. I will live long and well."

    One day, the students of Class 6 were reading in the classroom. Mrs. Brown came in and told the whole class they would have to change the1the next week. All of the students disagreed2Mrs. Brown, so they shouted when Mrs. Brown said it was because a new student would3the class." Why must we move to another classroom just because someone new is coming?" One of them asked 4. Mrs. Brown stood there without saying anything. After a few minutes, she told them to be5to their new classmate and then she left.

    The following week, the head teacher, Mr. White himself brought the new student to their class. 6he pushed the new student to the class because the student was in a wheelchair（轮椅）. Mr. White introduced the new student Jeff to the class. He said that Jeff now was a 7of the class and they should work together. He added, "Helping each other is very important." 8could fully understand what Mr. White meant at first.

    Over time, they began to understand the reason. Jeff was a 9student and often helped the students who didn't understand their work. The c lass felt very thankful to him. They took care of him because they knew that when someone did something for you, you should do something 10in return.

49-year-old Zhang Jianna is from a village in Hebei Province. Recently, videos of her directing foreigners have gone viral (爆红) online. Her beautiful English has deeply impressed the viewers. Zhang had worked as a restaurant server and a store seller. More than 10 years ago, she took on the role of a cleaner in the embassy (大使馆) area of Sanlitun in Beiiing's Chaovang district.

One morning, a foreigner came near to her, gently tapped her shoulder, and spoke a lot of unfamiliar words to her. Standing there, her mind going blank, Zhang didn't know how to react. The foreigner seemed to recognize her embarrassment and gestured (比划) for her to look ahead, giving a thumbs-up while repeatedly saying, "Good, good!" Zhang suddenly realized that the foreigner was praising her work in keeping the streets clean. It deeply moved Zhang and she made up her mind to learn English. "My goal is quite simple. I just want to help whenever someone is in need," said Zhang.

Thus, at the age of 40, Zhang has started a personal challenge. Without a teacher, she began learning English from her children's textbooks, starting with basic words and phrases commonly used for giving directions.

While others rested, she memorized vocabulary and practiced speaking. Upon arriving home after work, she would note down new knowledge points and review them until fully understood. Over the years, she filled over a dozen notebooks with her notes. She reviewed words at night and then repeated them one more time the next day morning. She also downloaded over a dozen English learning apps on her computer and phone, spending any possible moment learning and practicing.

"Growing up in a village without a college education, I sometimes feared being looked down upon. But every time I help a stranger in English, I feel strongly confident," said Zhang. "To serve others makes me happy and it's where I prove my self-worth. After retirement, I also want to introduce my hometown in English and help develop local tourism ."

Wang Ming is 13 years old. He lives in the countryside in Suining. Today is his birthday. His parents make a nice dinner for him, but he says, "I don't want to have the dinner because my parents will leave me after the dinner. I don't want to let them go."

Wang Ming has the birthday with his parents for the first time in the past eight years. Eight years ago, his parents went to Fujian to work. They stayed and worked there.They have to go back to Fujian tomorrow. Wang Ming is not the only stay-at-home child（留守儿童）.In the country of China, there are many children staying at home without (没有) their parents. 

Stay-at-home children have a lot of problems. Most of them stay with their grandparents. Some of them don't study well because their parents can't help them with their study. But most of them study hard and are good with their classmates at school.

The Chinese government now is trying to solve their problems.

The next class is the labour education (劳动教育) class. Lucy and her 1 are happy. They think the labour class is 2 but fun. They always do something different and meaningful in the class.

It's 10:00 am. Ms Zheng comes into the classroom and says, "3 , boys and girls! Today, let's 4 a Great Cake Game!"

"Nice!" all classmates say happily.

"There are 20 students in our class, and 5 students. make one cake," Ms Zheng says.

Then all students think about what cakes to make.

"We have 6 , strawberries and pears. How about a fruit cake?" Lucy says to her partners (搭档).

"Sounds good! Let's make it now!" Lucy's partners say.

After 30 minutes, on the teacher's desk are five cakes.

7 are the winners (获胜者)? Peter and his partners.

At this time, Ms Zheng comes to Lucy 8 a cake.

"Happy birthday, Lucy!" Ms Zheng says.

Lucy's classmates 9 cakes and say happy birthday to Lucy.

"Thanks! I don't have the first prize (奖项) 10 I have the best birthday cake!" Lucy says.
