School started again, and soon the ink(墨水)in Tom's spelling book was found. Tom said he hadn't split the ink, but that made it look as if he were lying. Becky almost said Alfred Temple had done it, but she kept quiet. She thought that Tom would tell the teacher about her tearing(撕)his book, so she didn't save him. Mr Dobbins beat him and then Tom went back to his seat。

After an hour Mr Dobbins unlocked his desk and took out his book, Tom looked over at Becky. She looked like a hunted and helpless rabbit. The next moment the master faced the children. There was a long silence, then he spoke, "Who tore this book?"

There wasn't a sound. The teacher searched their faces.

"Benjamin Rogers, did you do it?"

Benjamin said no.

"Joseph Harper, did you?"

Joseph also said no. Dobbins looked at the rows of boys, thought for a moment, then turned to the girls.

"Amy Lawrence?"

A shake of the head.

"Gracie Miller?"

The same sign.

Becky was next. Tom was shaking from head to foot.

"Rebecca Thatcher?"—(Tom looked at her face; it was white with terror)— "did you tear?—no, look at my face—did you tear this book?"

Tom jumped to his feet and shouted, "I did it!"

The children stared(盯着) in surprise at his foolish act.

And when he stepped forward for his punishment, he saw the surprise, the thanks, and the love that came from Becky's eyes.This was enough for one hundred beatings. And he didn't even mind staying for two hours after school, because he knew that Becky was waiting for him outside.

Tom went to bed that night planning some actions on Alfred Temple, for Becky had told him everything. And he fell asleep with Becky's last words to him in his ear, "Tom, you are so great!"

In the past, I thought I was terrible at many things, such as maths, French and science.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}I was good at drawing, I wasn't the best in my art class. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(want) to find out who I was, what I liked and how I could do it well. So, in that winter, I took {#blank#}3{#/blank#}notebook and kept my diary. When I filled that notebook, I started another one, and then another.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(keep) a diary helps me a lot. Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel much {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(good). It helps people remember what once happened such as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( dream ), friendships and happiness. Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(they) and move on. Personally, I learn more about myself and my relationships with others {#blank#}8{#/blank#}keeping a diary. For example, if I want to compare myself with my classmates, I'll write something like, "I might not have clear skin, but I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(true) like my eyes."

Right now, you might be thinking: It sounds great, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I'm not a good writer; or I'd love to keep a diary, but my handwriting is terrible, Don't worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework — there are no rules, so do whatever you feel best.

 As a platoon leader (排长）, Jiang Ping and his soldiers fought against floods for some days in Tongling, Anhui Province.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

 After 12 days of efforts the flood situation in Tongling had been brought under control. So Jiang Ping and his soldiers were called to Hefei, the provincial capital. Chaohu Lake was still at risk of flooding. Jiang said, "I saw many houses and fields had been flooded by the flood water in both Tongling and Hefei. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}"

The floods hit Jiang Ping's hometown in the summer of 1998.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Jiang said, "Most part of my house was submerged (淹没）by the blood water and the water kept rising. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Staying on the roof for nearly three hours. We were worried about our lives. At that time, a soldier took me into his arms. He tried to ease my panic, saying "Don't be afraid. We are here with you." Jiang joined the army in 2010 after graduation from high school.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

When I was about fourteen , I had a lot of freckles(雀斑). I was so upset. I tried different ways to cover the freckles, but my mother would shake her head and say ,"▲"I felt sad hearing it .

My cousin Jessica had a peaches and cream complexion(白里透红的肤色) I couldn't help thinking that my life would be a lot different if I had a beautiful face too.

And then, in a magazine I found an advertisement(广告) for a freckle removal cream(祛斑霜) knew that I could afford it if I saved my money and I did . For three weeks I went to the mailbox every day exactly at the time the mail arrived.

Finally, I got the magical cream and I couldn't wait to try it on my face . Later that day I went to work on the farm. But if you apply it in the sun, it seems to make your skin worse. Instead of developing a clear complexion, you just get more and darker freckles.

By the end the day when I came back to the house, my family began to say things like," I have never seen you with that many freckles "When I saw myself in the mirror, I cried and hid in the bathroom .

When my grandfather came to see what was wrong with me I told him about the story of the freckle removal cream. Grandpa didn't understand, so I tried to explain why I didn't want to have freckles . He looked at me in surprise and said, "But my child, there are all kinds of flowers, and they are all beautiful." I said," I have never seen a flower with freckles ! "Then I ran back to my room.

When I opened my eyes the next morning, the first thing I saw was a tiger lily—a beautiful flower with freckles. I didn't know where Grandpa found it. Looking at it , I was lost in thought ...

Angel and Pat are sisters. They were born on the same dry. Angel is twelve years old and Pat is eight years old. There {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a supermarket near their house. They often go shopping there. They like {#blank#}2{#/blank#}food. Pat likes salty (咸的). Angel likes sweet food.  Today is their birthday. Their parents want to give them a meal {#blank#}3{#/blank#}their birthday. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} here is the problem. The two {#blank#}5{#/blank#} like different food. Pat would like to eat salty fish. Angel {#blank#}6{#/blank#}to eat a cake. Pat asks her mother {#blank#}7{#/blank#}they can't get both things. "Because they are expensive and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}don't have enough money. "their mother says. After hearing this, Angel tells her mother to buy the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Their parents are happy about that. Pat thanks her sister {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Then they take a bus to the shop. 

Xue Qingqing is a student at Zhejiang University. As she moved into another dormitory（宿舍）, she found {#blank#}1{#/blank#} note from 23 years ago, which read "study hard and make progress every day". The information on it showed that it {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（write） by a student called Fang Qin on January 21,2001.

Xue guessed that Fang was trying to encourage herself to study and wondered {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Fang realized her dreams. "The note must be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（help）, and she must have achieved her goals, right?" Xue wrote on the school's forum.

 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（lucky）, Xue finally got in touch with Fang. "It's unbelievable that the note has been kept well for 23 years," Fang told Xue.

Now, Fang becomes the CEO of a platform and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（study） technology. When she was18 years old, Fang felt that she had trouble dealing {#blank#}7{#/blank#}her studies. To push herself harder in the new term, she wrote a note of encouragement. Later, she became{#blank#}8{#/blank#} （hard-working） classmate in her school. "Every day I saw it as soon as I woke up, and it helped {#blank#}9{#/blank#}push myself," Fang said.

The story has warmed many people's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （heart） online. They say it is wonderful to see that Fang's hard work bears fruit.
