    I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the crossing selling toys.1 I would hurry past such sellers. But I found this young man was 2 so I stood for some time without crossing the street. I wanted to see how he sold his things.

    Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set 3eyes on one of teddy bears. The mother asked for the4 and it was only one dollar. She 5 out a 10-dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the6 back. I was wondering how he was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag 7 around his neck and take out her change.

    I realized that this young man depended on believing people not to cheat him. There was no way for him to know 8 someone would take out more than they should have. I was so 9 I bought a car model from him that I did not need. As I walked down the street, I gave the car model to a kid walking with his father.

    I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to 10 others more, like the young blind street seller.

    David and Tim are brothers and they are in the same school.

    One afternoon, 1they finished their lessons, they stayed in the school to help their teacher work. They2for an hour. Then the teacher said, "Thank you, boys. We will finish the work tomorrow. It's getting dark. Now you3go home." When the boys got home, it was seven o'clock. The lights were on in their house and the door was4.They saw a man in the house.

     "Who can it be?" David thought." Dad and Mum are5now. They won't be back until(直到) eight o'clock."

    6the man saw David, he smiled and said, " Come in! You don't know me. But I am your 7 friend. He asked me to fetch(取) something for him." However, the man didn't see Tim.

    David went into the house and talked with the man. Tim quickly went to8the police. Soon Tim and a policeman came back. When the man saw the policeman, he tried to run out of the door, but the policeman9 him.

    Just then Mr and Mrs Baker, the boys'10came back home from work. The policeman asked Mr Baker, "Do you know the man?"

    "No," said Mr Baker, "I don't know him. He must be a thief."

I used to hate scary films. I didn't understand 1 some people wanted to scare 2 on purpose. But now I love them. Sometimes I watch them by myself; sometimes I watch them with my sister. 3, I will have a cushion(靠垫) nearby to 4 my face especially for bad parts, but I still enjoy watching them. As a 5, I have to watch something "happy" afterwards to take my mind off them,

    Watching scary films is 6 going on a roller coaster(过山车). Many people ride it for the 7 that comes from being scared without actually being in 8. As I am truly scared of the roller coaster, watching scary films is my way of 9 this. And it is interesting, especially 10 it is a film you haven't seen before. You can try and 11 what's going to happen.

    12 I saw a film called The Strangers by myself. In the film, a group of people with scary masks(面具) attacked(攻击) a couple's house. 13 some reason I had to keep stopping the video and doing 14 else, like checking e mails or reading a bit of my book. It took me five hours to finish seeing the film. It's hard to believe, isn't it?

    Scary films make me 15 but excited, I know I will continue to scare myself.

    A very rich man Peter lost his sight(视力). The 1 told him that only by doing a cornea(角膜) transplant operation could he bring his sight back. Peter 2 a lot of money for the cornea, but time passed day after day, 3 came for that. It was all because he was too proud of his money, and had done many dishonest things.

    One day, he took a walk in the park. He raised his head to 4 the long-awaited sunshine. However, he saw nothing but darkness.

    Just as Peter started feeling 5, someone suddenly ran into him. "Don't you have eyes? Don't you see who you hit! I'm millionaire Peter!" Peter said 6.

    The answer was from a little boy, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't 7. Please forgive(原谅) me!"

    Suddenly Peter changed his mind and said, "I can forgive you, but you must 8 me!"

    The boy said yes repeatedly and Peter nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Is the 9 big today?"

    The boy answered happily, "Yes, it is pretty fine today. The sun is shining 10!"

    Peter smiled. He thought he could feel the sun again. He asked, "Is the park beautiful?"

    "Yes, very! The grass is green and the flowers are pretty. The little 11 are so lovely when the birds sing in them."

    12 he was listening, Peter began to envy(嫉妒) that boy.

    Suddenly, he cried, "God! How I envy this boy! It's 13! Why not give me good sight?"

    "You are wrong!" a woman said to Peter. "My son is 14 just like you. He could only tell you so much because that's all I told him!" Tears suddenly 15 Peter's eyes.

    Since then, the city charity(慈善机构) has got a lot of money every year. It is from a man named Peter.
