One day I got into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were1on the right side when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of 2 . My taxi driver stopped at once and missed the other 3 by just inches ( 英寸)！

  The driver of the other car turned his head quickly4 and started shouting at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really5. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost broke your car and sent us to the 6!" This is when my taxi driver 7me what I now call “The Law of the Rubbish Truck”.

He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around of rubbish, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their rubbish grows, they need a place to empty it and 8they'll empty it onto you. Don't9it personally, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take the rubbish and 10it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

    A group of frogs were jumping through the woods when two of them fell into a big hole. All of the other frogs gathered around the 1  to see what could be done to help their friends.

    When they saw how 2  the hole was, the rest of the group agreed that itwas 3 for the two frogs to get out of the hole. In the beginning, the two frogs 4  with all their strength. Some of the frogs shouted into the hole that is was hopeless, just prepare for the fate(命运), others  5shouted that they two should save their energy and give up. But the two frogs continued jumping as 6as they could, and after several hours of hopeless jump they were quite tired.

    At that moment, one of the frogs gave up. He lay down at the7of the hole, and died as the others looked on his helpless sadness. However, the other frog8to jump with every bit of energy he has, even though he was completely worn out. His friends began a new shouting to him to accept his fate, waiting to die. But the frog jumped harder and harder. Finally he jumped so 9that he got out of the hole.

    The other frogs asked him surprisingly, “Why did you continue jumping when we told you it was impossible?” Reading their lips(嘴唇), the amazed frog explained to them that he was10and when he saw their gestures and shouting, he thought they were cheering him up, so he tried harder and finally succeeded.

My name is Dick. I'm a student. I have breakfast at 7:00 in the morning. I go to school with my friend Li Dan at half past seven. We are in different classes. I'm in Class 4 and she is in Class 3. 

We have four classes in the morning. At 12:00, we have lunch at school. We have two classes in the afternoon. Classes begin at 8:00 and finish at 4:00. We have many subjects at school. My favorite subject is science, because I can learn many useful things in science classes. I also like English. Mr. Jin is our English teacher. He is strict (严格的) with us, and he asks us to speak English both in and after class. But we all like him because he's nice and he likes to help us. Li Dan likes music. She can play the piano well. We like our school life.

I was lonely when I was in high school because I went to a new school far away from my home. In the beginning, some naughty students often laughed at me because of my poor English, so I always tried to avoid them.

Soon I went to university. I was a poor student and I only had $20 for two weeks. I had to hide the truth carefully because I was afraid to be laughed at again. I ate little every day. One day, Joe, a classmate of mine, invited me to help him cook and then shared the completed dishes with him. Since I was not familiar（熟悉）with him, I refused him at first. But after some consideration, I decided to go. I used to cook at home, and I thought I could do it, but I was still full of worry. If he didn't like my cooking, what should I do? Later, it turned out to be a success. Then Joe wished me to make it a daily routine. It went like this. He did the shopping and I did the cooking. And then I stayed to have dinner with him.

It was not until graduation that I knew the whole story. Joe discovered my situation two years ago. In order not to hurt my pride, he came up with this idea just to make it much easier for me. When I cooked the last meal for him, I ordered a big cake and said to him with tears, "My dear friend, you and your help really brighten my college life. I'll never forget that."
