Some are on the shelf（书架）and some are on the ground. Look, what's that under the bed? Oh, it's one of his socks. Where's his schoolbag? It's near the bed. You can find a dictionary, a pencil box and a set of keys in it. Where is his hat? Can you find it?

Most of his favorite poems from the Tang Dynasty, and some of them{#blank#}7{#/blank#}( write) by Chairman Mao Zedong. Why? Because he found them easy {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( remember). Over the years, he has read thousands of poems and he can recite more than 1,000 of them now.

Reading poetry {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( help) Zhu stay calm and he never complains about hard work." Whenever I face any difficulty, I think of a famous saying‘ Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it'," he told China Daily.

Irwin Corey was a 1 American film actor. Ho 2 a beggar(乞丐) once and often walked in the streets of Manhattan. He wore old and 3 clothes. He was very thin and seemed to be weak, looking like a poor homeless old man.

He begged for 4 in a special way. He only asked for some change(零钱) from passing drivers, and then he gave the driver a free copy of the newspaper he bought. Each time he asked for money, he was always smiling and also told 5 to the drivers. The drivers thought him kind and humorous, so they never let him go empty- handed.

6 all the money he begged was coins, he still made lots of money at the end of the day. Irwin Corey had been begging for money for many years. However, he didn't spend 7 of the money he had asked for. Every time the money was up to a certain 8 , he donated(捐赠) it to a charity. For 17 years, he donated all his hard- earned money to the charity.

He was not short of money. He lived in a S 3.5 million big house. He was not a beggar,  9 ." On the one hand, I just want to help people in need. On the other hand, begging can make me feel not 10 , as my wife had passed away," he said.
