    Once there was a good vegetable patch (菜地), and there grew avery big tree. Both the vegetables and the tree1 the place wonderful. But no one knew that thevegetables in the patch and the tree couldn't2 each other for a long time. The vegetablesdidn't like the tree's shade (树荫) because it stoppedthem from getting enough3. The tree, on the other hand, hated thevegetables. The4 wasthat the vegetables drank nearly all the water before it could get to him,leaving him a little water.

    They kept this situation5 the vegetables got completely bored with thetree one day. Then they decided to use up all the water in the ground so thatthe tree would die.

    What would the tree do? Without question, thetree answered back6 refusing to shade the vegetables from the sun.It was so hot that the vegetables became dry. Before long, all of them7died.

    At that time, thevegetables and the tree realized that it was8to help each other than to fight. Theylearned that they should9 those around them. From then on, they decidedto work together, using both the shade and the water to grow. Before long, theytogether showed10 a beautiful picture.

A bus stops at the bus station. It's 8:30 a.m. Mr.Green looks out of the window and he sees a young woman. The woman is selling cakes. People from other buses buy a lot. He also wants to buy one. He doesn't have breakfast at home this morning. But the woman is far from his bus. And he doesn't want to go out.

At that time, he sees a boy. He is not far from the bus. "Come here, boy!" Mr. Green calls to him.

"Do you know how much those cakes are?"Mr. Green asks the boy." Thirty cents for one," the boy answers.

Mr. Green gives sixty cents to the boy and asks him to buy two cakes. Mr.Green says,"One cake is for you and the other is for me."

After five minutes(分钟), the boy comes back with one cake（蛋糕）. He eats the cake and gives thirty cents to Mr.Green and says, "There is only one left."

Chinese President Xi Jinping has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for carrying forward the spirit of dedication of 95-year-old war hero Zhang Fuqing, encouraging people to come together and create a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} force to go ahead in the new time. Xi, made the remarks in an {#blank#}3{#/blank#} on Zhang's life story in January 2019. Xi said the old hero devoted all {#blank#}4{#/blank#} life to the country."As a soldier, he fights {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the country; as a citizen, he works for the people's well-being,"Xinoted.

"Zhang lives a great life with his simple and pure lifestyle and shows no interest in fame and fortune, setting an example for both officers and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in service of the armed forces,"Xi said.

Zhang, a CPC member, was a soldier which was one of the main forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the Liberation War.

He was honored by the Northwest Field Army for his battle achievements and won the honorary title of "Combat Hero"{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. In 1955, Zhang retired from the army and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to work in the poor mountainous areas in Laifeng, a remote county in central China's Hubei Province.

For more than 60 years, he kept his past experience a secret on purpose, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} from his children. It wasn't until the end of 2018 {#blank#}11{#/blank#} government was collecting and recording old soldiers' information that his life story was known to all.

I am Alice. My sister and I spent our last summer holidays with our uncle who is a   geologist(地质学家) and loves to collect stones.

 One day he bought us two backpacks and asked us to go to the mountain with him. We walked the whole day. Every now and then he put stones in our backpacks. To our surprise, he also took some stones out from them. But we thought he had just found better stones.

 When we returned to the house, we were very tired. The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relief(轻松) when we took them off. Yet our uncle's backpack was half empty.

" Why did you give us so many stones?" we asked.

"I didn't. You did." he said." You didn't know it, but I gave you a little attitude(态度) test today.I listened to every word you said. Whenever you were complaining(抱怨),I added a stone to your backpacks. Every time you talked about something with positive(积极的) thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks."

 Our backpacks were full of stones.

" Your negative(消极的) thoughts are just like stones. You carry them____in your mind just like those stones in your backpacks. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind will be." said our uncle.

 With great love, our uncle taught us one of the most important lessons in life— the power(力量) of the attitude.

Do you know students' life in the US? Do the students in the US have a little homework? Are their teachers very nice? Do they work hard at school? After I go to school in the US, I know the answers. Let me tell you the students' life in the US. 

Get up at 6:00 am and then go to school by bus at seven o'clock. Class starts at 8:00 am. The students in the US have many classes every day like math, geography, history, IT and so on. There is a little homework after school. But after doing that, you should do many other things. Students have a lot of after- school things, such as swimming, golf (高尔夫) and art. In China, many students do after- school things from Monday to Friday. But American students do them for two hours a day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 

Students in the US have more time to do their things, but they are hard workers, too.
