A friend wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. He felt1at the time. He2his letter with this question: "We can't really change this crazy world we live in, can we?" I3to him and started my own letter with these words: "Yes, we most certainly can!"

    I can still remember someone who changed my world. She was the4teacher at my primary school. I liked her music class and I wanted to impress her.5, I didn't know how to play any instruments.

    One day, she let me try playing her guitar. I6my best, but could only stumble along(断断续续地弹奏). When I finished playing, I put my7down. "I guess I am not very good," I told her. She looked at me with her 8eyes, smiled at me and said, "We are all good at something. You just need to find out9you are good at. Then, you can share it10the world."

    11simple words changed me. They12a seed(种子)in my heart that continues to grow to this day. They made me realize that I had something good inside of me. I just had to find it and share it.

    Can you change the world? Yes, you can! You can change it13one choice, one person or one kind act at a time.14you have to do is to share your goodness. Mother Teresa once said, "God doesn't ask us to do15things, but small things with great love." So make your love great!

My cousin Tommy was born in a small city in 2009. It's in the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (西方) of Germany, and it has a population of about 2,000,000. There are lots of things to do, with a library, a park, a zoo and a{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (体育馆). Tommy likes playing basketball, he thinks it is an {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (激动人心的) sport. He does well in it. The city is also famous for its beautiful lakes and some famous {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (大学).

Last weekend, the weather was fine. Tommy's classmates wanted to play with him. Tommy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (提议) to go to the zoo. There were many people in it, so it's very {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (拥挤的). The children were all interested in the animals from foreign countries, especially pandas. They all {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (同意) that pandas were very cute. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (然而), they were sorry to know that pandas and many other animals were in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (危险). Many wild animals don't have a safe place to live, and what's more, there isn't enough clean water to drink.

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? You may think of Confucius (孔子). September 28th was his birthday. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people today still remember and 1 him.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had  a 2 childhood. His father died when he was only 3, so he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius never 3 studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

He was talented and learned 4 , so he started the first public school in China when he was thirty. At that time only children from 5 families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone could go to school 6 they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still study Confucius' lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned." When I am with three people, one of them must be 7 than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them." He also taught us that8 is very important in study." All study but no thinking makes people puzzled(困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy."

Confucius is famous 9 his wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about strictness and good 10 ."A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others." He said.

Bryan ran home." Dad! Look!" he called excitedly."I found the cutest pet in the river! I named him Hoppy."

Dad had a closer look," Oh, a frog! How handsome!"

" Do you think Hoppy will like it here?"

" Why don't you keep him for a while, and then we' ll see how he's going."

Bryan found a shoebox. Using a pen, he poked(戳) air holes in the top of the box." Welcome to your new home. In you go, Hoppy."

" Are you hungry?" Bryan asked. He lifted his frog out of the box and put some sandwich pieces in front of him." Eat up, Hoppy." Bryan watched... But Hoppy didn't eat. Bryan waited... Hoppy just sat and stared (瞪眼看)." Don't you like sandwiches?"

Bryan put Hoppy back in the box."I think Hoppy's tired. I'm going to make him a comfortable bed." Bryan cut the old newspapers into pieces and put them into the box. He put Hoppy on his new bed." Are you cozy now? I' ll tell a story to help you sleep." When the story was over, Hoppy was still awake.

" Can't you sleep? Why?" Bryan asked. Hoppy just sat… and stared. Bryan didn't know what to do and sat thinking.

" How are you getting along?" Dad asked.

Bryan cried," Hoppy doesn't want to eat or sleep."

" Think about what he really needs."

A little later, Bry an ran into the house looking for his dad." Whoa!" said Dad." What's the hurry? And where's Hoppy?"

"I took him back to the river," Bryan said." He was sure glad to be home! When I put Hoppy down, he jumped into the river, caught a fly and ate it. Then, guess what!"

" What?"

Bryan laughed." Just before Hoppy jumped into the water, I think I saw him smile at me."
