"Today I will give you a special test," said the English teacher with a smile on his face.

All the students set up straight and 1 for the test to begin. The teacher began to give the test papers to all the students. After he handed out the test papers, he asked them to 2.

The students felt very strange to see that there was not a question but a black dot(圆点)in the centre of the paper. The teacher said with a smile, "I want you to 3 what you see there." At the end of the class, the teacher took all the students' papers and read the answers. All of them wrote about the black dot. After reading all the answers, the teacher said 4, "Here everyone only saw the black dot, but no one wrote about the white paper. "All the students listened without saying anything, because they were 5. they couldn't get good marks(分数). Then the teacher said, "Don't worry about 6 marks for this test I just want you to think about our 7. The white paper is like our life and the back dot in the centre of the paper is like the problem(问题)in our life. "

Our life is a 8 from God, with love and hope. But we just see the problems, and never see 9 things in our life. So we should take our 10 off our problems to see each moment life gives us.

Grandma Lee is 70 years old. She lives alone, She spends lots of time on shopping. She thinks it is really interesting. Every morning, she gets up early and then goes to the market to buy some vegetables and fruit. To save money, she always compares the prices of the same vegetable and fruit. She never feels tired of it. And in the afternoon, she goes to the supermarket, because there is usually a sale on at that time. 

Grandma Lee doesn't carry any cash any more. She only takes her mobile phone. Now she can even shop online. She can choose all kinds of things on the Internet and she can get them at home. It's so convenient! 

I'm Timo Halla. I1 with my parents in Helsinki， Finland. I'm happy every day. Now, it's December. Every Tuesday, I usually get up at 7:40. 1 often listen to the news2 music. My mum always cooks for me. After 3 , I walk to school. And it only takes me 10 4 .

My school begins at 9:00.There are 18 5 in my class. Each lesson is 45 minutes. Between lessons we have a 6 , and we can do other things with our friends. We have three7 in the morning-one Finnish lesson and two home economics lessons. The afternoon lessons begin at 12:30 and8 at2:15. Then I go to my ice hockey club.

I usually get home around 4:00. It is already9 outside. All the lights are on. I often have dinner at6: 00. Then, I read with my parents for an hour. After that, I 10 my school things for the next day. At 9:30, it's time for me to go to bed.

In the Jin Dynasty ( 朝 代 ), there lived a man named Le Guang. He was very1 , and he always invited his friends to his home. One day, Le Guang visited one of his best friends who didn't come to see him for a long span of time.

His friend looked 2 all the time. Seeing this, Le Guang assumed( 猜 想 ) something might happen to his friend and he 3 what was wrong. "What's the matter?" Le Guang asked. "We were having fun in your home that day, but I4 felt sick when I saw that there was a little snake lying in my glass," his friend replied.

Back home, Le Guang saw a bow ( 弓) with a painted snake on the wall of his room. "I see!" An idea came into his 5 . He put the table at the same place and invited his friend to have a drink. Again, there was a shade ( 阴 影 ) of the bow in the glass and Le Guang asked his friend to6 . "That is what happened last time. It is the same snake," said his friend. Le Guang laughed and 7 the bow on the wall. "Could you see the snake in your glass anymore?" he asked. His friend was8 to find that the snake was no longer in the wine. Then he knew it was just a shade instead of a real 9 . In the end, his friend got better and learned a useful10 from it: ‘One should stay calm before making quick judgments on unfounded fears.'

My parents are very strict with me. They've made many family rules that I must follow. They want me to learn to be independent, so w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} I ask them to do something for me, they always say, "It's best to do it yourself!" But they often give me some{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (建议) that help me a lot. 

Next week, I'll set off on a trip to the mountains with my friends. My parents are w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} about me. So they make some safety rules. I'd like to share them with you. 

★Wear {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (柔软的) and comfortable clothes, strong shoes and thick socks. 

★Do not walk too close to the edge of the hill path. 

★Be careful of falling stones. 

★Choose {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (直的) paths — they are usually smooth. 

★Work with others to put up a t{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. 

★Do not make any {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(突然的) moves when seeing a bear. Just stand s {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. 

It's difficult for me to f{#blank#}9{#/blank#} asleep these days. Because I am so excited about the coming trip, especially when I think of the beautiful {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(小树林), fresh air and green grass. I am sure we will have a great time.
