Many stories happened at the Children's Medical Care Center. These stories deeply touched us. We saw a lot of children without hair because they got special treatment（治疗）.We played with them and drew pictures with them.They had great pains, but they were very friendly. It was much easier to talk with them than we had expected.

One day, a girl wanted toteach us how to fold paper.She taught us with great patience（耐心）and explained each step slowly.Though we could do that well，we still pretended（假装）to know nothing about it. We followed her step by step and did as she told us. Finaly,when we completed our work perfectly,she gave us a big hug．We could see the pride and happinss on her face．（A）她的父亲对我们十分感激。And his eyes were full of tears. Until then，we knew that the girl would receive an operation（手术）the next day.

It was really a valuable experience to all of us. We began to think about the ways to deal with the difficulties in life. （B）When we compare our "troubles"with those kids'. ours seem not worth mentioning at all.

Tom, Jim and Ted are cousins. They study in the same school. They usually go to see their grandparents on weekends.

Their grandparents have a farm. Last weekend, Tom, Jim and Ted went to the farm to see their grandparents by bike. They met at Tom's home on Saturday morning, and started at 2:00 in the afternoon.

Their grandparents were happy. The next day, Tom, Jim and Ted helped with the farm work in the morning. They kept the chickens and then they watered the vegetables. At noon, their grandmother cooked fish and many vegetables for them. She cooked well. In the afternoon, their grandfather helped them to fly kites. Their kites flew high. What an interesting country life! They all had a wonderful weekend.

A little boy invited his mother to attend his school's first parent-teacher meeting. This would be the 1 time that his classmates and teacher met his mother. She had a large scar(伤疤) that 2 nearly the entire(全部的) right side of her face. The boy 3 ashamed (羞愧的) and never asked why or how she got the scar. At the meeting, everyone 4 the act of his mother's kindness, but the little boy was still embarrassed and 5 himself from everyone. He did, however, overhear(无意中听到) a conversation 6 his mother and his teacher.

The teacher asked carefully, "Is it OK to ask 7 you got the scar?" 

The mother replied, "When my son was a baby, he was in a room that 8 fire. Everyone was too 9 to go in because the fire was out of control, but I went in. As I was running toward his bed, I saw a long piece of wood 10 from the ceiling (天花板), so I stood over him to 11 him. I was knocked senseless, but fortunately(幸运地), a fireman came and 12 both of us." She touched the scarred side of her face. "This scar will last, but to this day, I have 13 regretted what I did." 

The little boy had never 14 the story of his mother's scar. He ran toward his mother 15 and held her hand tightly for the rest of the day.
