A teacher once told each of her students to bring a clear plastic bag and a large bag of potatoes to school. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} every person that the students refused to forgive in their life, they {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(choose) a potato, wrote on {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the name of that person and the date, and then put it in the plastic bag. Some of their bags were quite heavy.

    They were then told to carry these bags with them everywhere for one week,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (put) them beside their beds at night, on their car seats when driving, and next to their desks at work.

    During this time,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} they carried the bags around with them, they realized what a weight they were carrying, and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}they needed to pay attention all the time, so as not to forget them or leave them in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (embarrass) places. Of course, the potatoes were becoming {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (rot), and smelled very bad.

    This is the same as the price we pay for keeping our pain and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (happy) with us! Forgiving others is not only a gift to them, but also a very good gift to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}！

    To breed snails (蜗牛) well, you need to spray water to the container every morning and evening, change soil every two weeks, and feed them with cabbages and sweet fruits—this is what Sun Youxiang, a fourth-grade primary school student in Hangzhou{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(conclude) after breeding snails for one year.

    From three small white snails at the very beginning{#blank#}2{#/blank#}more than 60 snails of four generations now, he has done a great job in his assignment for his science class{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(witness) the reproduction of animals is a precious experience for kids. Their{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(create), patience, and respect for life will be stimulated (激发) as they learn to take care of animals on their own.

    Sun's teacher said the assignment served as a good example of life education. Practice{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) an essential step in leaning, which will benefit the kids for{#blank#}6{#/blank#}life time. Life education allows kids to know how to live with nature and creatures in a friendly way.

    Starting from this year, Science will become an{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (equal) important subject as Chinese and Math in primary schools{#blank#}8{#/blank#}aims to improve students' knowledge about the surroundings{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(draw) by curiosity, more kids will be willing to observe and think through practicing, which will add to{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they) recognition of the world in the long run.

    The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(stubborn)—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the pain was really unbearable(难以忍受的). I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

    “ {#blank#}5{#/blank#} you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in .”

     I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn't he as busy as the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}?

    In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(worry). The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

    When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”

“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.

    “Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.

“The artwork?” I was puzzled.

    The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy {#blank#}9{#/blank#}：on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was！At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by {#blank#}10{#/blank#}words.

    What a relief！

    One day, I saw a kid walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked as if he was carrying all of his books. I had quite a weekend {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (plan), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw {#blank#}2{#/blank#} bunch of kids running towards him. They ran at him, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (knock) all his books out of his arms and he landed in the dirt. His {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (glass) went flying. He looked up and I saw the terrible {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (sad) in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his things. Later, we talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (save). My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable.” Not until that moment did I realize its {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (deep). Never underestimate the power of your actions. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a small gesture, you can change a person's life. For {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) or for worse, God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way. As you can see, friends are angels {#blank#}10{#/blank#} lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
