My name is Brad. I'm 1 Sichuan. I'm a(n) 2 monkey and I am only one year old. I like eating 3 and bananas are my favorites. I like forests(森林),but now I live in a 4 . I am in a big cage(笼子) 5 other monkeys. People like me and often give me some fruist to eat. 6 I'm not really happy. 7? Because I can't live with my parents and I can't climb trees(爬树) here. Every day, I get up in the cage. I eat food in the cage. I 8 and relax in the cage. I really want to 9 my parents and climb trees in the forests. Dear people, animals are your 10. We live in the same world. Please let us live in the forests, not in the cages.

    One evening a young woman walked on the beach. She 1 to see the footsteps（足迹） she had left in the sand, but they had already been washed away by the water. When she turned to continue her walk, She was surprised to see an old woman 2 by a fire.

    She walked up to the old woman and asked,”Where did you come from? I didn't see you here a minute ago.

    3answering her question, the old woman said, ”Sit with me, my child. I have something to show you.”

    As the young woman sat down beside the fire, the old woman handed her a book. She turned the pages of the book one by one and was 4 to discover they told the story of her whole life, from the early days of 5to the present. But when she turned to the next page, she found it empty. And the rest of the pages in the book were all empty.

    “Does this mean my life ends tonight?” she asked.

    “No, my child. It means tonight your life 6 .”

    At that time the old woman took the book into her hands and began to tear(撕掉)each of the pages that had words out of the book. She then threw 7 into the fire until all left were empty pages. She handed the book of empty pages to the young woman.

    “You see,” she said, “just as the water washed away your footsteps in the sand, your past is forever gone. What you 8 have is here and now. Each moment is the beginning of the rest of your life and you should live it to the fullest, because you won't live that moment a(an) 9 time. For your future, you are free to shape it as you wish, 10 it has not yet been written.”

    In a far-away place, there was a village. The village was1 in potatoes than anywhere else in the country. At the end of every growing season, 2potatoes were dug out of the ground, and readied for market. In each home, men and women would3divide the potatoes into three groups, large, medium and small.

    One year, there was a young man4received his share of the potatoes. As the other villagers5, he walked around the village laughing and talking.6villagers thought he was lazy, and they worried that this man would never get7potatoes ready in time. When it was time for the villagers8to market, they were greatly surprised to find that the man's potatoes9perfectly into three groups.

    After 10the man how he did it, they understood he was not lazy, 11very clever. He had put all his potatoes in a cart and pulled it along the village's rough dirt road. As the cart moved up and down over the road, the potatoes moved12. The small potatoes moved to the bottom, the larger potatoes rose to the top and the medium potatoes rested13 the middle.

    Life14like this too. The rough roads we travel along can also15us.

Last week, I finally succeeded in asking my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school match. I was very excited and wore it to the training before the match, but I wished I hadn't done that! My new shirt was torn(扯破) after the training and only a tailor(裁缝) could help!

As I walked home worriedly, I saw a shop sign: All Kinds of Repairs(修补) and Services! I went inside at once. I looked around the shop and saw broken toys, broken chairs… I wondered if I was in the wrong place. Just at that moment, a man with white hair came up to me and said cheerfully, " Welcome! This is a repair shop and I can repair everything!"

"But… what I need is a tailor to deal with my football shirt."

"You've come to the right place. I've been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt."

"Really?"I held the shirt in my hands.

To my surprise, he took the shirt from me, put on glasses and sat down on the sofa with my shirt in his hands. "I guess you are a striker(前锋),"he smiled warmly. How could he know? The man gave me a wink and said calmly,"See that picture on the wall? That was me 30 years ago. "

I couldn't believe my eyes! He was Orhan, the famous footballer who was on the city team years ago! I told him I was playing for the school team and I had been his fan for years. I told him everything, my dream, my practice and even my dad's words. "Dad thinks I should be an engineer or a doctor."I lowered my head.

"Follow your dream, choose a job you love and carry on."The man smiled at me with his blue eyes. He patted(轻拍) me on the shoulder and put the shirt he had repaired in my bag.

Today I have become a footballer and I still keep that shirt in my closet.

Hello, boys and girls! My name is Tim. These are four photos of my friends.
