Once upon a time there lived a wise king who wanted to marry off his favorite daughter. He 1 how he could find the right person. Finally, the king had an 2. He decided to hold a contest(比赛) to decided which gentleman would achieve this great honor. The king ordered that anyone 3 wanted to marry the princess must report to the palace. To win his daughter, a man must fill up a whole room with a(an) 4 thing very quickly.

    The first brave man anived at the palace. He brought bags full of feathers. With great 5, he started to fill the large room with feathers, but time ran out and he failed.

    The next day, 6 young man tried to quickly fill the room, this time with beautiful silk. Time ran out again, and he left the palace 7.

    The contest went on day afterday, 8 contestants hoped to pass the test but no one 9. The king began to lose heart. Wasn't anyone in the kingdom qualified(有资格的)to many the beautiful princess?

    One day, a young man arrived at the palace empty-handed. The king wondered how this man planned to win the contest. Entering the room, the young man 10 the lights. He reached into his pocket, got a small 11 and lit it. In no time, the light filled the whole room.

    The king was very happy because he had found the perfect match for his lovely daughter.

    To get through a problem, sometimes we must 12 the way we're thinking about it. We need to re-educate ourselves by looking at the problem in a different way.

    Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble?

One day, two 1 were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very 2. They went up to her and said, "Are you going to town? If you are, we will help carry your basket."

    "Thank you," 3 the woman, " you are very kind. You see I'm weak and ill." Then she told them that she was now going to market to 4 the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.

    "We are all going to the 5." said the boys. "Let us have the basket." And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked 6 with the heavy basket, but happily.

    The other day, I saw a little girl stop and 7 a piece of orange peel, which she threw into the dustbin（垃圾桶）, "I wish 8 would throw that on the sidewalk," said she. "Someone may step on it and fall."

    Perhaps some may say that these are not 9 things. That is right. But such a little thing shows that you have a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart. We must not wait for the 10 to do great things. We must begin with little things of love.

Lord Pingyuan was from the State of Zhao（赵国）. At that time, Zhao was{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（weak）than Qin, so Qin wanted to control Zhao. Lord Pingyuan decided to ask the State of Chu {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some help. He wanted to pick twenty talented people to go with him. But he could only find nineteen people. Where is the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（twenty）person? Soon, a man called Mao Sui said in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} confident voice, "Please believe in me." Finally, Lord Pingyuan let Mao Sui join {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（they）.

Lord Pingyuan led these twenty {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（man）to the State of Chu. However, the king didn't want to help Zhao. Mao Sui acted so {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（brave）that he walked to the king with a sword（剑）in his hand. The king was shocked and had to listen to Mao Sui. Mao Sui explained {#blank#}8{#/blank#} important the friendship between Chu and Zhao was. The king agreed to help Zhao. Then Mao Sui {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（become）a hero of the state.

What can we learn from the story? It {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（remind）us that we should always believe in ourselves like Mao Sui. Don't be shy to hide your talents. Show yourselves to others.

On Oct 12, three Chinese astronauts- Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe gave a 1 class. This time, they 2 to a new classroom — the Wentian lab module (实验舱)! They showed students on the 3 around the lab. They also did some 4 experiments(实验). In the picture, Liu Yang uses a 2- meter- long straw(吸管) to drink mango juice. It's hard to do it on the earth, but Liu does it very 5 in space.

 For a long time, life seemed to keep me in a never-ending cycle of stress. I had been feeling{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(灰色的). I sometımes seemed to feel that I could hardly {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(控制) myself. One day, I planned to take a train journey for a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(一对;两个) of weeks. On the train the people were chatting loudly, but I was lost in my own thoughts. As the train went through a forest, the sights outside changed so much that it seemed to pass through different s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of nature, from blooming spring to colourful autumn. I suddenly {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(意识到) the beauty around us. Two young men b{#blank#}6{#/blank#} me were talking about a funny story. Hearing their happy laughter, I decided to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(治疗) myself and get out of the so-called stress. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(锁) myself in my own world will only slow me down. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(无论什么) lies before me, I need to forget about all other things.I should just {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(继续) my own way for reaching the goal. Anyway, nature had a magic power.

Hannay was nervous. His enemies (敌人) were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?

Hannay walked along the country road for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said, "How are you?" "My head hurts," the road worker said. "I can't do it. I want to go home. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That's the problem!" Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed. "Yes, and I would have been," he replied. "But yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor (测量员) was coming to check my work. If he comes and finds me away, I'll be in trouble." Suddenly, Hannay had a bright idea—he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies. "You go off to bed," Hannay said. "I'll do your job until the new surveyor comes." The road worker was pleased with his idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the road worker's hat and coat and began to fix the road.

About an hour later, he heard a voice. "Are you the road worker?" it asked. It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car. Hannay said yes. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work. Then a village boy came by. "What has happened to the road worker?" he asked. "He stayed at home today," Hannay replied. "He's sick."

At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three men got out of the car. Hannay's heart beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming.
