I'm Yu Fei. I come from No. 1 Junior High School in Ji'nan. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} beautiful. My friend Xiaoli is in this school Xiaoli is of medium {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. She has {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hair, a long face, a small mouth and big {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. She is thirteen. She is in Class Five, Grade Seven. She is a good student, and she is good at painting pictures. She hopes to be an {#blank#}5{#/blank#} when she grows up. She has two good {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in her school. They are Lucy and Lily. They are {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. They are twins. They are fourteen They have big noses and big eyes, and they are very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and thin.

    A young queen was given a magic box by a wizard(男巫). The box would bring happiness to the whole country whenever it was opened in a place full of the spirit of generosity(慷慨).

    The queen travelled all over the country, looking for the most generous people. If she collected them all, she could open the magic box.

    One day, when the queen returned to her palace，she saw a poor little boy begging. She would like to give the boy some money, but she didn't have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old box. Then he could sell it for a little money. At first the queen hesitated(犹豫)，because she had been told the box had magical powers. But seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the box and opened it.

    Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the box and a voice said, “Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself. ”

    While enjoying all the wonders of the magic box, the queen learned to set an example for others, and she became the best queen ever in history.

I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the crossing selling toys.1I would hurry past such sellers. But I found this young man was 2, so I stood for some time without crossing the street. I wanted to see how he sold his things.

Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set 3 eyes on one of the teddy bears. The mother asked the 4 and it was only one dollar. She 5 out a 10­dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the 6 back. I was wondering how he was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag 7 around his neck and take out her change.

I realized that this young man depended on believing people would not cheat him. There was no way for him to know 8 someone took out more than they should have done. I was so 9. I bought a car model from him that I did not need. As I walked down the street, I gave the car model to a kid walking with his father.

I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to 10others more, like the young blind street seller.

Back home, Qian at once {#blank#}1{#/blank#} helping China develop a space program. He started the Institute of Mechanics in Beijing, where he trained young scientists. He worked on many important space {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. In 1960, China's first rocket and first missile were launched(发射) {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. In 1970, China launched its first satellite. It is largely because of Qian's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that China so quickly developed a space program, and became only the third country to send a manned rocket into space in

2003. 

Qian watched this rocket launch on television. He was by he will always be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for his great contributions(贡献). He working so hard for his country, even through difficult times, helping develop the space program that pushed China into the future. 

When I was eight years old，my family moved from Edinburgh to London because my father started a new job here. The new place was far away from my grandmother，so we sometimes spent a couple of hours driving to Edinburgh to visit her when we missed her terribly. Her house was hundreds of miles away but the trip was never boring. 

Grandma never had much. She didn't have expensive things，or live in a nice house. But I could feel with my heart that she loved us deeply，especially when my world was turned upside down two years later. Grandma knew that my mother and father divorced and I lived with my father. I would actually like to live with my mother. 

I still remember those little things. Grandma allowed me to sit on the top of her kitchen table，getting me to dip（蘸）my fingers in the sugar bowl or drink from her coffee cup. Grandma had a beautiful bottle high on a shelf. One day after her death，I received a box. To my surprise，I found the bottle inside. She remembered once I had asked her for it. 

Grandma saved her pennies in a glass jar（罐）. She could have used those pennies herself but she kept them for my brother Tommie and me. And I was always excited to divide the pennies between my brother and me. "One for you，one for me. " I would repeat until the jar was empty. I don't remember how much we got on our visits，but I know that's how she loved us and cared about us when we were far away from her. So if I am lucky enough to find a penny lying on the ground one day. I am sure it is just the one from Grandma in heaven（天堂）. 

Those childhood memories have never gone away from me. Instead，they still give me great feelings through the years. A Grandma's love stays with a grandchild as long as he needs it. You know，love is just like that. 

Dear Nancy,

You asked me about places {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) and things to do in my town. The Downtown Mall is always fun. It's a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (shop) place in the oldest part of town. There are some good stores and restaurants there, for example, Trendy Clothing Store. It's a fun place to shop, and it has the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) quality(质量) clothes. The shop assistants are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (friend) to people.

My favorite restaurant in the town is Nick's Restaurant. It is close {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my house. It's cheap and the hamburgers there are great. I like Dragon City Restaurant, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. You can eat wonderful noodles there and the beef noodles are the most delicious! You must try the dumplings there, too! But it's more expensive {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Nick's Restaurant. The Big Cinema is the best cinema in my town. It {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (have) the biggest screens and the most comfortable seats. The Del Ray Complex is also a good place to see {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (movie). It doesn't have the newest movies, but the tickets are the cheapest.

Anyway, there are lots of things to do and to see here. Come for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} visit soon.

Yours,

Linda
