Jack is the most special friend to me.

    Different from other7-year-old children, Jack began to go to school at the age of ten. But he got worried about his mother because she had disability. She couldn't do anything but worked in her small garden to get some money.

    Jack's birthday came. He invited his classmates to his party. He was excited although there wasn't enough food in his home. He waited for so long but none of them came. Jack star-ted crying. "They must think we are poor. "Then his mother said, "No, it is because of me. My disability is the reason why they run away from you. ""They can't hate someone because of his disability, "Jack said.

    The next day, one of Jack's classmates asked, "How was your party? Did anyone come?" And then others started laughing. Jack said angrily, "You didn't come, but it doesn't mean it was the worst day of my life. I have someone that is important to me and that person is my mother. You are laughing at me because of her. Although you don't like her, you won't stop me from loving her. You can't hate someone just because he is disabled. It is just the way that he was born with. "All his classmates were ashamed after hearing this.

    From then on, all the students started to appreciate Jack because he spoke for the disabled people.

Jasmine sat sewing (缝) a handkerchief in the garden. Suddenly, a little insect came running in such a hurry across the small stone. Immediately, an idea 1 Jasmine. She dropped her thimble (顶针) over the little ant. Seeing him running round and round to find the exit, Jasmine thought it was 2 and laughed out loud. As night 3 , she ran away for dinner and forgot all about him.

That night, the rain 4 The handkerchief left outside was wet through as if somebody had been 5 very much. 

The next morning, As Jasmine went out to fetch it, she remembered who was under the thimble. But when she lifted up the thimble, the little tiny ant lay 6 there! 

"Why did you do that, Jasmine?" came Dad's voice. 

"I didn't 7 to, Dad." Jasmine almost cried. 

"See! He moves one of his 8 . Run to the house and get some honey for him!"

Then 9 Jasmine put a drop of honey before the tiny ant. 

Now the ant 10 a fairy tongue (舌头) to enjoy the sweet honey. Soon, he grew well, trying to run. 

"He wants to run home." said Dad. "I know where he lives. In a little round world of ants, under the apple tree."

"And has he got a wife and children—a lot of little ants at home?"

"Well, there are father ants and mother ants, and lots of other ants who are 11 to the little ones. 12 knows his own children, but all the grown-up ones are kind to all the babies. See how he hurries off!"

While they were talking, the little ant was soon 13 among the grass. In a little while came the ant with a group of friends. 

"He has been home and told them the good 14 about the honey," said Dad. "Do you think that all children are as kind as that?"

"No, I don't run to call my friends when I find a good place of blackberries."

"Then," said father, "just learn from the ant, 15 he is only a little tiny thing."

Cindy is taking a trip around Italy（意大利）. Now, she gets a call from her 1 in London.

"Cindy, are you having a 2 time?"

"Yes, Grandma! Italy is so beautiful !3 , I'm going to visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa (意大利比萨斜塔)."

"Oh, dear! It's not good to eat only a 4 for breakfast. You5 to drink some milk too! It's important to eat well. "

Hearing6 words, Cindy laughs（大笑）. She says, "Oh, you mistake(错认）Pisa for pizza（披萨）, Grandma! Here, the Leaning Tower of Pisa(比萨斜塔）is a building(建筑）, not something to 7 ! "

"Haha! That's funny!"Grandma also laughs, "Dear, be sure to take some 8 of it. I'm going to send(发送） them to my friends. Have9 ! Bye!"

Cindy says 10 to Grandma and goes on her trip. 

On Sunday，Leo and {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（he） friends go to the West Hill Farm. It's far from their school，so they go there on their school bus. They take some food and drinks with them. When they get to the farm，the farmers {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（be） very glad to see them.

Do you know how words have an influence on others? Amy Beth Gardner chose a(n) 1 way to teach her daughter Breonna about this. She wrote on Facebook, "My daughter will 2 middle school tomorrow. We've prepared new uniforms, a new schoolbag and some other things for her. But tonight, just before bed, we did another pre-middle school3 that is far more important than others. 

Then she described 4 she took a tube of toothpaste and asked her daughter to empty the toothpaste onto a plate. After she did so, Amy Beth asked her to pull the toothpaste 5 into the tube. It was really a crazy request, so Breonna 6 , "But I can't! It won't be like what it was before."

Amy Beth then gave (an) important 7 to her child. "You will remember this toothpaste for the rest of your life. Your words have the power of life 8 death. As you go into middle school, you are going to see how much 9 your words carry. You are going to have the chance to use your words to hurt, wound and put down others. You are also going to have the chance to use Your words to help, encourage and 10 others."

Amy Beth knows that 11 fails sometimes. But it is her duty to 12 her daughter to pay attention. Just like this toothpaste, once the words leave your13 ，you can't take them back. 

"Use your words carefully, Breonna. When others are misusing (滥用) their words, 14 your words. Please be aware of （意到） your gentleness and don't 15 to choose kindness."
