A woman works in a factory and1her pay at the end of2week. One Saturday she got her pay and counted the3. Suddenly she found that it was wrong: there were five pounds4than she should get. She5the money in her pocket and said nothing6others. A week went by and it was pay day7. But this time there were five pounds less instead. She was so angry8she went to see the boss. The boss said to her. "Didn't you9there was a mistake last week?" But she explained: "For one mistake, I can 10my eyes, but for two mistakes, no, I cannot."

It's a Sunday morning. Isabella and her best friend William are playing in a park. They are looking for yellow eggs. Their parents tell them the yellow eggs are very difficult to find! They walk here and there, and William finds five white eggs. Isabella finds two blue eggs and four red eggs. But they don't see any yellow ones. Then William walks to some bushes (灌木) to try to find one.

"Hey, look what I find!" William says. He looks happy.

"Do you find a yellow egg?" Isabella asks. She walks over to join William.

"No," says William. "I find something better(更好的)!"

Isabella sees a birds nest (鸟巢) there. They are real eggs! There are three brown eggs in the nest.

Then they look at the eggs, they find the mother bird flies back. Then the two friends leave the bushes happily. They run to tell their parents about the nest.

What a good find! 

Su Shi, known as Su Dongpo, was a famous Chinese writer, poet and painter.

When he was young, he read a lot of books and wrote many good articles. People thought {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (high) of him. Because of this, he became very proud and wrote a couplet (对联) for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (him).

Knowing all the words in the world;

Reading all the books on the earth.

A wise old man saw this couplet and thought, "It is necessary for Su Shi {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (learn) how to be modest." So, one day, he came to Su Shi's house with a book.

The old man showed Su Shi the book and explained, "So far, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (read) the book several times, but there are still some difficult words that I can't understand. I have asked many people, but none of them could understand their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (meaning). I have heard that you are a person of rich knowledge, so I come to ask you."

Full of confidence, Su Shi took the book from the old {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (man) hand, but when he opened it, he became very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (surprise) because there were many words he didn't know. At that moment, Su Shi realized that there were many more things that he had to learn.

Actually, the old man knew every word in this book. He just wanted to make Su Shi know the importance of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) modest. Su Shi was embarrassed (尴尬的) and said, "Now I know why you came. I shouldn't have been so arrogant (自大的)."

The old man smiled and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (leave). Then Su Shi quickly took his brush and ink, and added some words to the couplet:

Working hard to know all the words in the world;

Being determined to read all the books on the earth.

 From then on, he worked even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hard) than before. Finally, Su Shi made great achievements in many fields, especially in literature.
