About ten years ago, both of my parents lost their jobs. Life was1 for me then. I 2at the gift shop in my university's museum in my spare time. One day 3 working in the shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.

    As I looked closer at this girl, I found that she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and body. She was wearing a pretty white dress and a little red4. When they came closer to me, I 5 her a wink(眨眼). And the girl gave me the most beautiful 6that I had ever seen.

    All of a sudden, her handicap(残疾) was gone and all that I saw was a 7girl. I was deeply moved by her smile, and I8what life was all about. She brought me, a poor and unhappy college student, into her world full of smiles, 9and warmth.

    I'm a successful business person now. Whenever I am in low spirits and in10I always think of that little girl and the lesson about life that she taught me.

    When you want the answer to a question, but your teachers aren't around or your teachers are too busy to answer your question. Then do you feel1? When you come across hard math2, are you too shy to ask teachers for help?

    Hu Xincheng, a 16-year-old3 , comes from Yongkang Second High School, Zhejiang She used to ask the teachers for help when she had to do4math problems. But now, she turns to a5 for help. She puts her test paper in the machine and it can read the problem. Within seconds, the machine's screen will show the6, as well as an analysis (分析) of the problem. She can also watch a video of a teacher explaining the problem. Moreover, she can find the answers to questions in many different subjects 7.

    How did the machines8? One of the school's information technology teachers9 the idea. The school worked with an education company to10 the machines. The machines finally came out last month. Now there is at least one such machine in 11 classroom building. Soon, the machines will be12 in over 20 primary, middle and high schools in Yongkang.

    Some people may think students will just13the machines, answers. But Hu said few students will take much14to do so. She added that the answers and analyses cannot be downloaded from the machine. Students can only15them on the screen. "Also, you have to line up to use the machines in the hallways. It's (尴尬的) to copy the answers." she said.

Today, I felt bad after dinner. So I went out and took a walk in the street at 7:00 pm. While I was walking, I saw an old man selling vegetables. He looked very tired and nobody was buying his vegetables. I wanted to give him something but I brought nothing with me.

Then, a little girl went to him and said,"Excuse me, may I polish(擦亮) your shoes? I need money to buy a new school uniform (校服)."The old man answered,"Oh! Come with me and I will buy you a school uniform." Then they walked to a shop and he bought her a school uniform. The girl thanked him and left happily, leaving the old man smiling.

The old man walked away from the shop, but then I stopped him. I said, "You make the best day of my life. Thank you for your kindness!"As I walked away, I looked back and I could see him still smiling. I felt better and walked home.

It was Lisa's seventh birthday. She received a special gift from Uncle To by. It was a box of little ducks. Lisa was very excited, because she was looking forward to playing with little ducks.

Lisa tried to carry the box to her garden. However, the box of ducks was heavy and she dropped it. The box fell to the ground and broke. The ducks all ran out. They ran everywhere—into neighbours' gardens, into the field, even into the next street. Lisa spent hours trying to find them and took them back to her garden.

Then she called her uncle and told him about the little accident.

"Did you find them all?" her uncle asked.

"I hope so," Lisa replied. "I caught ten of them."

"That's very interesting," her uncle said with a smile, "because I only sent you eight."

Once upon a time，there was a boy named Tim. He lived in a small 1 with nice mountains（山） and rivers. It was great to play there，2 Tim was always busy with his computer games and never noticed the beauty around him. 

Tim's grandfather was worried and always 3 about how great the nature（自然） was with him. "What clean and beautiful lake it is!"，his grandfather often said. One day，his grandfather asked Tim to go on a trip with him. Tim agreed，but he was not very 4 . 

As they walked in the village，Tim's grandfather pointed out many 5 things，such as colourful flowers with bright leaves，mother birds flying back homes with food to 6 their babies. They even climbed to the top of the hill so that they could see the sights 7 . His grandfather also told him some stories behind each place. Some of the stories were really funny and made Tim 8 all the time. Tim got to enjoy these beautiful things for the first time. 

At the end of the trip，Tim's grandfather told Tim not to 9 the small things in life，like a sunny day or a friendly smile. From that day on，Tim learned to enjoy every moment and be thankful. 

He thought that there was much more to life compared to 10 . Tim decided to spend more time outdoors and take short trips with his grandfather more often.
