My best holiday trip is one to Fraser's Hill in Selangor. It was the school holidays and my parents had booked a small house on top of the hill just one and a half hours' drive from our home.

    We started early in the morning by car. My brother, sister and I sat in the car excitedly thinking about the cool weather and the walk in the wood. We arrived at Kuala Kubu for breakfast. It was a little town that had many old buildings.

    Further along the way, we stopped at the lakeside to take pictures. Along its banks were some villages. The journey up the hills was interesting with tropical rainforest(热带雨林).

    Finally, we reached the Gap where we were allowed to go up to Fraser's. When we reached the town centre, a strange clock tower, old police station, and cute golf course greeted us. We stopped for lunch at a Chinese food restaurant. Then, we got to the house we booked.

    It was eating, sleeping, or playing cards all day as it was raining. We looked cool in our jackets as we walked along the road for dinner in town that night. It was dark when we went back. We were excited using our torches(手电筒). The next day was spent at the waterfalls 15 kilometers away and walked near the town. We had lunch at a Hainanese restaurant before checking out at 1 pm. People there were very friendly. We thanked them and said goodbye to the cool place before we made our way back to the polluted city.

    A young boy was playing with a ball in the street. He threw(扔) it too hard and it broke the window of a house and fell(掉) inside. A woman came to the window and shouted(大喊) at the boy. The boy was afraid and ran away. But he still wanted his ball back. A few minutes later, the boy came back and knocked(敲) at the door and said, "My father is going to come and repair(修理) your window soon."

    After a while, a man came to the door with tools(工具) in his hand, so the woman let the boy take his ball away. When the man finish repairing the window, he said to the woman, "Please pay ten dollars."

    "But aren't you the father of the boy?" the woman asked, looking surprised (惊奇).

    "No," he answered, looking more surprised, "Aren't you his mother?"

Tom was an eight-year-old boy. He came to a new town with his parents. His family was very rich(富有的). They lived in a big, beautiful house with a big garden. There was a driver, a cook, a gardener and a lot of servants(佣人).

Tom was going to a new school. On the first day, his mother said to him, "Tom, be modest(谦虚的) at school. Don't say we are rich. "Tom said, "All right, Mum. "Then he went to his new school.

He met his new teachers and classmates. The teacher said, "Good morning, boys and girls! This is Tom, your new classmate. Now let him introduce himself to you. "

Tom stood up and said, "My name is Tom. My family is poor. My father is poor. The gardener is very poor. The cook is poor. And all the other servants are very poor too. So I am a poor boy……"

One day, a hunter went hunting with his dog. He saw a rabbit running out of a bush not far in front and 1 raised his gun to shoot. The rabbit was hurt. It ran away 2 . The hunter waved to the dog to 3 it. The well- trained dog rushed like an arrow, running very fast and full of 4 .

The rabbit ran so desperately that it 5 not to have been hurt at all. However, the dog was surprisingly left behind. Gradually, the dog was losing sight of the rabbit. At last when the dog 6 empty- handed, the hunter was angry and blamed it," How 7 ! Unable to catch an injured rabbit! No supper for you." Feeling sad, the dog tried to explain for 8 ," Though I didn't catch it, I had done my best."

When the rabbit got home, all the other rabbits were surprised at its 9 . They were dying to ask," How did you 10 to run away when the dog almost caught you? It's unbelievable! " The frightened rabbit answered," The dog would only be blamed for not catching me at most,11 all it did was to do its best. The situation was completely different 12 me. I would surely lose my life 13 I was caught. I had to go all out(竭尽全力)!"

We can learn a lesson for our daily life from the story. Have we ever examined ourselves and asked 14 we did our best or went all out when we looked for a(n) 15 for our failure?
