There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is water between his feet and his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again.

    The boy puts his head down and prays, "Dear God, this is an exception! I need help now! I'm over." He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

    As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips(绊倒)in front of the teacher and throws the bowl of water on the boy's legs.

The boy seems to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!" All of a sudden, the ridicule(嘲笑)that should have been his goes to someone else—Susie. She tries to help. But they tell her to get out. The teacher gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants are dried out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk.

    Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, "You did that on purpose(故意), didn't you?" Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once too."

    Once Einstein gave a lecture(演讲)in many places in America. His driver always listened to him and knew the lecture so well that he was sure to give it himself. So Einstein agreed that the driver gave the lecture for him. As nobody knew Einstein there, the driver gave the lecture for Einstein that evening. At first he was a bit afraid, but Einstein's smile made him feel better. He gave a good lecture and the people were quite pleased. Then the driver started to leave and Einstein followed him without a word. Then they got to the door, a man asked the driver a difficult question. The driver said that the question was very easy, and told the man to ask his driver behind to answer it.

    Susie, student, 14 years old

    Grace, student, 14 years old

    Time: One Sunday afternoon in autumn

    Place: Sunny Park

    (The four teenagers have just finished the picnic. They are tidying up.)

Benny: Wow! That was a great picnic. I'm so full that I can hardly move.

Grace: That's no excuse for not tidying up, Benny. Come over here and help me pack up the leftover food. Peter, can you put out the fire, please? And clean up the plate.

Peter: (Speaking unhappily to himself) How can I always get the dirty and difficult jobs?

    It's not fair.

    (Peter throws a bit of water on the fire. Then he picks up the ashes (灰烬) with an old newspaper and wants to throw them into the long grass. )

Susie: (Sounding surprised) What are you doing, Peter? That's d…

Peter: Whoops…the newspaper has caught fire.

Susie: And the grass… Benny, Grace, help! Help!

    (Benny and Grace come over quickly. They help put out the fire completely.)

Peter: Oh, no. What have I done?

Grace: You know that we should do everything carefully, don't you?

Peter: (With his head in his hands) Yes. What have I done? What have I done?

Years ago, my father and I were on a summer road trip from Dallas to Austin. On our way back, the battery meter (电池电量计) seemed to act funny, jumping up then dropping down. 

We stopped to buy a new battery and replaced (替换) the 1 one in the parking lot. And we went on our trip. We got about 20 miles outside the city when our car died. Then we 2 it was not the problem of the battery. We had to 3 on the side of the road. My father 4 the car and repaired it on his own, but it still didn't work. 

We were about to call for help when a 5 stopped in front of our car. A man got out and started walking towards us. He asked us what the problem was. My father 6 that our car was dead. The man said he had a tow chain (拖链) and would be able to tow us to Dallas, which was about 200 miles away. We agreed and thanked him. 

Then my father stayed in our car, and I got on the truck. Later I learned the 7 of the truck driver. About a year ago, he was told by the doctor that he had lung cancer (肺癌), and his days were 8 . Instead of doing treatment (治疗), he decided to accept the fact and spend the rest of his life driving all over Texas, and 9 people who were in need. 

I can't remember his name anymore, but I'll never 10 him helping us that night.

Wendy is a junior high school student.  She is a happy girl and she has 1 friends.  She is also the best friend of 2 .  All her friends like collecting things.  For example, Julie likes collecting coins and Michelle likes collecting dolls.  However, Wendy doesn't collect anything because her room isn't 3 enough. 

One day, Wendy asked her grandma, "Grandma, do you collect anything?"

Wendy's grandma smiled and 4 , "You know, for many years, I didn't think I collected anything, 5 I have many dreams.  Maybe I am a dream collector.  Dreams can 6 you happy.  Dreams don't take up any space, so you always have enough room for all your dreams.  Dreams don't need any special skills, so you don't need to be good 7 anything.  Besides, no one can take away your dreams and they can last forever. "

After 8 with her grandma, Wendy knew that her grandma had many dreams in her collection. 

Wendy also has 9 dreams.  She thinks she is also a dream collector.  Her dreams always make her 10 happy.
