I am a book lover. So my house is forever full of1. I have new ones, old ones, hard covers, paperbacks,2and non-stories. I have three boxes of books in my closet, two boxes of books on the floor of my bedroom, and a box of children's books3 for my future grandchildren. I have even more books4the two I wrote on my desk. I try to keep the books5 building up by donating as many as I can to the local6, but as soon as I donate a few, I find myself buying a few more.

   Books Iread keep my mind young, and my heart7,and soul bright. They bring me knowledge, laughter, and joy. They connect me withthe wisdom of the past and the new ideas of the8.They keep me moving on the right path as a journey through life.

    I havelearned that people are a lot like books as well. Some have bright and shiny covers9  don't have very much to say inside of them. Otherslook old and plain but so full of10and light that reading them can11yourwhole life. One difference between books and people, though, is that while a bookhas an ending, the writing inside of us12forever.

Take care when writing the book of your own life. Fill it with love for yourself, others and this world. Fill it with all the wisdom you have learned, goodness you have done,13you have shared, and joy you have14. Keep writing it every day, too. Make it everything you are and everything you want to be, and then15it to everyone. I know it will be a wonderful and fantastic book.

One afternoon, Mrs. Stone decided to visit her friend Mrs. King. Mrs. King lived in a nice house with a large garden far from the city center. Mrs. Stone took her dog with her. While the women were having coffee outside the house, the dog was running around in the garden. The two friends were very unpleasantly surprised when the dog appeared after some time with a dead rabbit in his mouth. Mrs. King began to feel sick because she knew that her neighbor kept rabbits in a hutch（笼子） in his garden. As the dog and the rabbit were both covered with earth and dirt, the women took the rabbit and carefully cleaned it in the bathroom. When it got dark, they went quietly through the trees into the neighbor's garden and put the dead rabbit into the hutch.

The next afternoon Mrs. King's neighbor, the one with the rabbit, found her in the garden, called her over. She walked towards the neighbor and she felt very afraid because she knew that she did something wrong. "You know what?" her neighbor said. "Yesterday morning I found one of my rabbits dead in the hutch. So I put it in the ground in the garden and this morning," he started to whisper, "it's back to the hutch! I'm going to take it to a right pet cemetery."

Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only cared about winning every race and becoming more successful.

One day,the boy took part in a running race in his village. He won the 200, 100 and 50-meter races without any problem. He was proud of himself and received great applause (掌声). But his grandfather stepped in and challenged him to a race with two unexpected competitors, an old man and a blind girl. The boy thought it was unbelievable but accepted. In the race, the boy finished first, while the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. With joy, he waved his hands at the crowd. But they kept silent.

"Why are people not cheering for me like before?" he asked his grandfather.

"Start the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finish line at the same time," the grandfather replied.

The boy was surprised but agreed to the race. During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked slowly with them to the finish line. The crowd gave them a standing applause.

The boy asked his grandfather, "For whom are the people cheering? Is it for me, or them?" The grandfather smiled and said. "The crowd did not cheer for any one of you. They cheered for how you all ran the race together. Facing the race of life, what matters is not just winning, but how you run the race."

Doctors are usually busy every day. However, when I was in the primary school, my dream was to become a doctor. In fact, as a little boy, I didn't know1 what doctors did. After I2 , I know what being a doctor means. Doctors play a (n)3 role in saving lives.

My grandfather suffered from cancer (患上癌症) when I was eight years old. At that time, my4 spent much time locking after him. Once she took me to the5 to visit my grandfather. When I got there, I saw my grandfather seemed6 because of the great pain (痛苦).Then I asked my mom about the reason. She told me my grandfather was seriously ill and the doctors were7 to make him get healthy again. At that time, it gave me some hope and I started to believe that doctors always saved lives.

I know it's not8 to be a great doctor, so I'm going to the university for higher 9 and I ' m going to try to be an intern in a hospital to10 myself. I'd like to help those sick people in that way. I hope the world can become better because of great doctors.

 Children hated to play with me. That's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} one of my eyes was badly hurt when I was fifleen months old. I lost the sight(失明) of the eye with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ugly scar(伤疤) around it. It made me sad. My mother told me," Alice, hold your head up high and face the world. If you do, it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ( be) OK."

 At the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( begin), it was really hard. When I grew up, I understood her   words. She expected me to look people in the eye and let them know me. In high school,I spent much time {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my schoolwork. I tried my {#blank#}6{#/blank#}( good) to study and I got good grades. People began to like me and I made some friends {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( successful). At university, I took part in all kinds of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( activity). I joined a music club and we helped poor children. The club {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( become) famous and then I had more friends.
