Once upon a time, there was a young man who liked puppets (木偶) so much that he became an apprentice(学徒) to a master puppet-maker. Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.

    Even so, he was fond of it so much that he worked day after day to improve himself. Though he made every effort, they would always find something wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.

    The young man wasn't going to give up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasn't making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.

    By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, "I can't find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect." And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and cheerful.

    It is well-known that the perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man –whose name was Geppetto—more joy than any other famous puppet—maker had ever got from any of their creations.

In 2004, Zhang Guimei saw a girl sitting silently on the side of a road on a cold morning, with a broken basket at her side.

Zhang, a local high school teacher, asked what was wrong. The girl told Zhang that she wanted to go to school, but her family was too poor to afford it. Zhang went to the 14-year-old girl's home and advised her parents to allow their daughter to continue schooling. However, they finally refused her. Unable to help, Zhang left. With the teenager always on her mind, Zhang was trying to work out how to help the local girls.

She came up with the idea of building a girls-only high school where students wouldn't have to pay anything. In 2007, Zhang attended an important meeting. She spoke, through media, to the public about her long-hidden dream. With the support from the local government and warm-hearted people, Huaping Girls' High School was opened in 2008. On the first day of the new school year, 100 students entered the school, most of whom were from mountainous areas. Since she started the school, Zhang Guimei has visited more than 1,600 families, traveled more than110,000 kilometers, and walked to many places to encourage parents to send their daughters to school for more than 15 years, so the girls could improve their education to change their lives.

Thanks to Zhang's efforts to help the students improve their studies, many of them were able to get offers from universities. Zhang Guimei worked silently for years, helping more than 1,800 girls in poor mountainous areas realize their dreams.

My Summer Holiday

I'm ten years old and my name is Freddy. I wear glasses and my hair is red. I love going to school because it is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. All the teachers are friendly and they always teach us useful {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. My {#blank#}3{#/blank#} subject is geography and I enjoy the PE class. I have a sister, Susan. She is seven years old and she is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} beautiful. She has long hair and big green eyes. She is very lovely.

Laura is one of my best {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. We live on the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} road so we go to school together. Julio is also my friend. We sometimes {#blank#}7{#/blank#} basketball in the park or ride our bikes in the country. Julio is quite tall and he is very funny. He tells me very funny {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Julio's parents are Mexican.

I get up at 8 o'clock because lessons {#blank#}9{#/blank#} at 8:45. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we study maths, French and history. Lunch is usually at 12:15 in the school dining {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. I often bring my lunch box because my mom says it's better food. In the afternoon we usually have art or IT.

Before the Shenzhou XV crew（全体工作人员） came back to the earth，they {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a letter to a 16-year-old student named Tsering Dargye. He is from Tibet and studying at Beijing No. 80 High School now. Over 10，000 people sent {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the crew，but Tsering was the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} one to get an answer back. "I was very{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and was lucky enough to get the letter，"he said. 

In his letter，Tsering showed his strong interest in the sky. The astronaut Fei Junlong wrote the letter to Tsering and encouraged（鼓励） him a lot. "As you wrote in your letter，the road to success is never smooth（平坦的）.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} long as you work hard，you can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} your dreams come true，" Fei wrote. He ended the letter by wishing Tsering and his classmates to be{#blank#}7{#/blank#} in their studies. 

Tsering is now studying hard and plans to spend more time{#blank#}8{#/blank#} his studies for the coming summer vacation. "My dream is to learn computer science at Tsinghua University. No matter {#blank#}9{#/blank#} happens in my life，I will believe in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and keep on following my dreams，" he said. 

 Once there was an apple flower. Anyone who saw it1 its beauty, so it became proud. It believed that it was the most beautiful flower in the world. 

 One day, it noticed a little yellow flower that seemed to grow everywhere. "What's your2 ?" the apple flower asked. 

"I'm called the dandelion(蒲公英). "

"Poor plant!" said the apple flower. "You are here and there, but no one admires you. You must feel sad to be so 3 . "

 Before the dandelion replied, a sunbeam(阳光) came and said, "All plants are beautiful to me. " He hugged both the apple flower and the dandelion. 

 Then several 4 came. They picked some dandelions happily and blew the dandelion clock(茸毛头) to make wishes, just like 5 birthday candles. 

"Can you see the beauty of dandelions?" the sunbeam asked the apple flower. 

"They are6 only to children, " said the proud apple flower. 

 Later, an old woman came. She dug the roots of the dandelions to 7 tea for the sick. 

"You see? Dandelions are also beautiful to the woman, right?" the sunbeam said. "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone 8 it. "

 The apple flower then bowed its head with 9 . "You' re right. Everything shows its beauty 10 . What we need to do is try to find it, " it said. Hearing this, the sunbeam nodded with satisfaction.
