ClothesDonation (捐赠) Box

    Have youever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not,you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend (趋势) in Urumqi.

    "Fromtime to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. Youknow, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it's a good way to helpothers." Lin Tao, a junior student says.

    "Ioften pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping.Then I put them into the donation box." Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.

    "Thatseems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People caneither wear them or usethem to make things such as handbags and pencilcases," Mrs Wang, an old woman says, "sometimes I also look throughthe box for some nice clothes."

    However,there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation.Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are theresults:

    Some boxesare full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to giveaway clothes.

    Somepeople sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearingthem.

    Somecommunities set the boxes in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.

    Manyclothes are too old and shabby (破烂的).

   "What's worse," one of the staff in a community added,"we quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by.We've tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most seriousproblem since we set the box."

    In orderto make the donation box work in an efficient (有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothesdonation will be better-organized and it'll be more convenient for people inneed to take the clothes away.

"Where is Bob?" asked Dad. "In his room." Anna answered. She was trying to decide on the birthday gift for Dad. This year, she wanted something that couldn't{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (buy) at a store. Then she heard Bob calling her. "Just a second," she{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reply), walking towards her brother's room. "Look!" Bob sounded close to tears (眼泪). "Toy dragon." Bob{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (real) wanted a toy dragon in the cereal (麦片) box, so he was a bit sad at finding nothing.

"Let's see what the box says, "Anna suggested. "I can't read." "You can't because you don't know how to read," she said carefully. Last year, Dad made a decision.to teach him to read, but {#blank#}4{#/blank#} result was terrible. They both gave up. Anna finished {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (read) the box. "No promise of a toy dragon," she said. "I wish you could read. So does Dad, she added. The conversation swept away Anna's worry {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a gift for Dad. "Maybe we can prepare it together." she thought.

Soon Anna had an idea—to write and read a dragon story for Dad. When she shared it with Bob, he shook his head. Anna felt disappointed. Without{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (Bob) help, there would be no present. "We'll try for ten days," She said. "Then we'll decide if it'll work." Bob counted with his fingers, saying loudly, "Just ten days."

The first day was the hardest. "I need your help, Bob," Anna said. "Just tell me{#blank#}8{#/blank#} you felt when discovering there was no dragon." "I was mad and sad." "That's it." She then printed this on the notebook: I was mad{#blank#}9{#/blank#} sad, too. Bob watched. "Which word is ' mad'?" Anna pointed. "What's next?" Anna asked. Bob was silent. "It's a story," she said. "You're the teller. If you can't do it, I will." "No! I want to tell{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (many) than today." Bob shouted. "So…that night I. "Each day, Bob told more of his dragon stary.

It is important to say" No" if necessary although it is not easy. My best friend Julia asked me to help her look after her pet dog when she travelled to Shanghai. I wanted to say" no" to her, but I agreed. I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} busy to look after it well, and then {#blank#}2{#/blank#} bad happened. Her dog got{#blank#}3{#/blank#} because of me. Julia was angry and said she wouldn't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in me anymore. I hoped she could trust me again. Then she said unless I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to take her dog to the animal hospital with her, she wouldn't forgive(原谅) me.

{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I broke my promise again. Because I had an important {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the next day. So I must prepare {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it. When Julia called me, I was studying for my exam carefully. I didn't answer the phone in time. This made her even {#blank#}9{#/blank#} than before. Later, I said sorry and talked to her about the reasons {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. She was so understanding that she forgave me.

From then on, I know that sometimes we need to say" No." It's important.

When she was just 10 years old, Angela joined in her first piano competition. She never expected she could get something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (important) than a prize. 

On that day, each {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (perform) had to play a piece of music in front of a large group of people. At first, Angela was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (excite). But when she was about to play, she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (feel) afraid. "What should I do if I forget the notes (音符)? What should I do if I play the wrong notes?" Angela thought. 

As these worries ran through {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (she) mind, a girl finished her performance and walked past her. She did something unexpected. She smiled (微笑) at Angela {#blank#}6{#/blank#} gave her a thumbs-up sign. That made Angela feel encouraged. Then she walked over to the piano and played a piece of music {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (beautiful). 

After the competition, Angela planned {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (thank) the girl, but she couldn't find her. She wanted to say, "Your kind smile played an important role {#blank#}9{#/blank#} my life. I'll take that smile as {#blank#}10{#/blank#} great gift. "
