Summer vacation is coming. The Parkers are taking a 1 to Sanya. How will 2 go there? They have 3 ideas. The son Dale says, “Let's take the 4. Taking a journey by train is really relaxing. We 5 enjoy the beautiful scenery（风景） from the window.” The daughter Alice says, “ But the train station is far from our 6. If we go there by train, we have to 7 early. So let's drive a car.” “8?” asks Dale. “Because we can stop at any time we 9,” answers Alice. “But I think taking a journey by car is 10. What about taking a bus?” asks Dale. “Oh, I don't like that. There are always 11 people on the bus, and it 12 a long time,” says Alice. Then they go to ask for their 13 ideas. Mr. Parker wants to take the plane because it's the fastest (最快的) way. He says that they shouldn't spend too much time on the way, 14 they won't have much time to visit the city. But Mrs. Parker wants to go by ship, because it is cheap (便宜的) and they can save some 15. Which do you think is the best way?

    A businessman, who was very fond of music, was asked by a poor woman to give her some help. Her husband, a great1, who was talented in music, had died, and left her very poor indeed.

    The businessman saw that the woman and her2, who was with her, were in great sadness. He looked with pity into their pale faces, and3that their sad story was true.

    "How much do you want, my good woman?" said the businessman.

    "4dollars will save us, " said the poor woman. With some hesitation（迟疑）. The businessman sat down at his desk, took a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on5, and gave it to the woman with the words," Take it to the6you see on the other side of the street."

    The grateful woman and her daughter, without stopping to read the note, ran to the bank 7. The banker at once counted out8 dollars instead of five. And then he passed them to the woman.

    She was9 when she saw so much money. "Sir, there is a mistake here," she said. "You have given me fifty dollars,10I asked for only five."

    The banker11the note once more, and said, "The check calls for fifty dollars."

    "It is a mistake-indeed it is," said the woman.

    The banker then asked her to wait for a few12, while he went to see the businessman who gave her the13.

    "Yes," said the businessman, since he had heard the banker's story," I did make a14.I wrote fifty instead of five hundred. Give the poor woman five hundred dollars, because she is such a(an)15woman that she should get even more." At that time, the banker understood why the woman could get much more than she asked for.

    With a hat by his feet, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building. He held up a sign which said," I'm blind, please help."

    Only a few people put1in the hat. A man was walking by. He dropped some coins into the hat, then turned the sign2wrote some words, put the sign back and left.

    Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people began to give money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see3things were going. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, " Were you the one who 4 my sign this morning? What did you write?"

    The man said, I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a(n)5way." What he wrote was. "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."

    Both the6told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by throwing some money into the7. The second one, 8, told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day. But the boy couldn't.

    There are at least two lessons we can learn9this story. First, be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less Help them if you can. 10, be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way.

Five years ago, my mother, gave birth to a brother for me when I was 8. I have learned a lot from getting along with him. 

After he was born, I almost became a babysitter. I had to amuse him after school. I would make faces and sing to him when he was crying. Sometimes I even carried him everywhere in our yard to refresh him while my parents were busy. What I liked to do best was to feed him when looking after him. How cute he was as he tasted his favorite food! My parents often praised me happily, " As an elder brother, you've made contributions to looking after your younger brother. "

I have got happiness from sharing. When I was young, I was the only child in my family. I could get what I wanted from my parents and get my parents' whole love. I was a "Little Emperor". 

But now, as long as I get something good, I will share it with him. I remembered the year when he was three, he was fond of Rubik's cubes(魔方). I bought one for him with my lucky money as a birthday present When he got the toy, he was so happy that he laughed, hugged me and said, "Brother, I love you!

Thanks for spending these years together, with my family. It has taught me what responsibility means, what unselfishness means and what friendship means. 

Not only should I look after myself, but also I should pay attention to my family and my friends. 

Jenny is a little girl.She always puts her 1 down because she thinks she is not beautiful （美丽的）.One day she goes to a shop to 2 a red bow （蝴蝶结）.The shopkeeper keeps 3 that she looks very beautiful with it.Jenny is very 4 ，so she heads up and smiles.

It's time for the first class.Jenny meets her teacher when she goes into the5 ， "Jenny，you look really beautiful today，" says the 6 .A lot of classmates say that，too.

That day Jenny hears a lot of things like that 7 many people. "They must see my 8 bow，" Jenny thinks.But at the end of the 9 when she gets home and looks in the mirror （镜子），she can't find her bow on her head.She must （肯定）10 it on her way back to school when she runs into someone else.

Let's be confident （自信的）.Don't care so much about your looks.When you put your heads up，you can be beautiful.

Long long ago, John and Tom lived in the same village. One day, John sold his well ( 井 ) to Tom. The next day, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Tom went to get water from the well, John didn' t{#blank#}2{#/blank#} him to do so. He said, "I sold you the well, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the water, so you cannot get water from the well."

 Tom went to the king {#blank#}4{#/blank#} help. The king asked Paul, a clever man, to solve the problem." {#blank#}5{#/blank#} don't you let Tom use the water in the well ? " Paul asked John. John answered, "Paul, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the well to him, but I didn't sell the water in the well."

 Paul said, "Look, because you sold the well to Tom, now you have no right( 权利 ) to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the water in the well. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you pay him to keep your water in his well, or take your water out of his well right now."

 Hearing Paul's words, John {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that he couldn't cheat(欺骗) Tom {#blank#}10{#/blank#} longer.
