One day, I was waiting for my friend at thebus station. A man came to sell1andI just smiled and said thank you. I didn't know if it was because of my smile,the young man came closer and stood2meand started talking to me. "You know, I wasn't born like this, sellingshoes. I had a family, but one day my life just3upside down and all was gone," he said. He told me that hiswife took away all his money, sold his car and the house. It was really a hardtime for him and he was4atthat time. He had nothing and then5tosell shoes to make a living. I stood next to him and listened, but I was still6how someone could be so open to a totalstranger like that. Then I realized that some people get7in that way. We often meet people withtroubles in their hearts. For some of them, there isn't anybody to listen tothem,8I've learned to be kind to them. Ialways spare my time to listen to them. By doing this, the one9listens can not only help othersbut also himself,because he gets to learn something from what others10andsee other sides of life. This will make the world a better place to live in forall of us.

Hello, I am Mary. I live in Chengdu. It's sunny and cool in my city now. I'm studying at home. My parents are shopping. What's the weather like in your city? And what are you doing?

In your life, you are sure to have met thousands of people. Can you remember everyone's1 ? Maybe not.

I used to be in a nursing school. During the third month there, we had an important2 . I studied very hard for it. I finished all the questions3 until I read the last one, "What is the name of the woman who cleans our classroom?"

Just then, I was4 at the question! I saw the woman almost every day, but I could only remember what she looked like. How could I know her name? Finally I had to5 my paper without finishing the last question. My classmates didn't6 it, either.

After class, one of my classmates asked the teacher if the last question would affect (影响) our7 . "Of course," the teacher said. "In our life, we will meet a lot of people. Many of them are important and8 to us, although they might play different9 in our society. Anyway, they are worth our attention and care, even if all that we can do is just to smile at them or say hello to them."

I'll never10 the test. Don't ignore (忽视) anyone who should be kindly treated. Sometimes just because of those people, our world changes for the better.

The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face1 in their lives. The book tells us that when facing a new situation in our life，like a new school or new friends，we shouldn't fear. 2 ，use them to make a better life. This book is mainly for teens. 

The book gives a（n）3 of that at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because the number of students there is getting4 . Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are5 . But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice，two "little people" and some cheese. 

The four are in a maze （迷宫） looking for the cheese. Here，cheese means something6 in life. But they find the cheese IS gone. The mice realize that they can't change what7 and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people can't do this. They are afraid of changes so they find8 . 

9 Chris finishes the story，the friends understand one thing：10 more cheese，move in a new direction quickly. His friends now understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face，such as doing well at school or feeling good about yourself. 

Last week our school held a sports meeting. Everyone in our class felt very excited {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we were the winners. In the boys' relay race (接力赛), Michael ran very fast and our class {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(win) first place. Yu Ting is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(good) at the long jump than any other girl. She took part in it and won the first prize (奖). We're sorry that we did {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(badly) in the high jump than last time. But we're sure we can do much {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(well) next time. I took part in the boys' 400-metre race. I did my best and was the first {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pass) the finishing line. I had {#blank#}7{#/blank#} great time in the race. Now I love sports better. I want to be a soccer {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(play). I will take {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much) exercise every day and work harder. I hope some day I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) able to take part in the Olympic Games. Let's wait and see!

A foreign musician came to China by chance and settled down for 19 years. His song about China was praised by a Chinese person as"I can't imagine {#blank#}1{#/blank#} more beautiful song about China." It sounds improbable, but this is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(exact) what happened to Mark Levine, a 75-year-old from the US.

 Levine first came to China in 2005 and worked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} an English teacher in Huai' an. He moved to Beijing to teach at Minzu University three years later. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} China has thousands of foreign English teachers, Levine stands out from the rest. He received China's Friendship Award, the nation's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(high) honor for a foreigner. The award{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(give) to 100 foreign experts each year.

 He wrote down his experiences and published {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(they) in a book called Stories from My Chinese Journey. He also wrote songs about China and received {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(invite) to perform in many activities. "When I am singing Chinese songs to Western audience, my wish is{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(introduce) China to Westerners." Levine said, He {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(write) over 80 songs since he moved to Beijing in 2007.
