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.

I love my mother and my Chinese teacher very much. 

Class One was having a meeting. The students were having a discussion in the classroom. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}were they talking about? The topic was the best invention in our normal life. Tom thought the clock was the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} useful. It could tell the time exactly. W{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the clock, we didn't know when to leave for school. Maria showed us a crayon on the desk. It could be used {#blank#}4{#/blank#} draw beautiful pictures. So it was helpful. Peter preferred computers. He said that the world {#blank#}5{#/blank#} connected together by computers through the internet. We could get the information far away in a minute. There were also tiny computers inside the patients, bodies. These computers were used {#blank#}6{#/blank#}treating illnesses. Lily was certain that the robots were important. The robots {#blank#}7{#/blank#} worked in the factories helped people perform different tasks. It's no doubt that all of above changed our habits, they make us work and live more comfortably. P{#blank#}8{#/blank#}in the future we can invent something for ourselves. I'm sure we have the ability to be a real inventor.

Kenneth Riggins and his daughter, Angelica, then 5 years old, had fallen asleep on the sofa in their house when he was woken up around 2 am by their dogs and the smell of smoke. He followed the smell to a small room next to a back bedroom. "I opened the door, and the fire came in the doorway," says Riggins, a high school teacher and single dad. After pushing the door shut, he ran to the living room and woke up Angelica, shouting at her to get out quickly. 

Angelica, who had recently attended a fire demonstration（消防演习）at her school led by Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog, knew exactly what to do. "The smoke was everywhere, so I crawled（爬）under it and out of the house, just like Sparkles taught me, " Angelica says. "I was really afraid, but I moved as fast as I could." She ran straight to the home of a neighbor, who called 911. When the firefighters arrived a few minutes later, Angelica told them she hadn't seen her dad and that he might still be in the house. 

She was right. After getting out, Riggins had returned to look for a friend's 5-year-old girl who had been staying with them. "I was unable to think clearly because of all the smoke and I forgot her mom had picked her up earlier," he says. Firefighters found Riggins unconscious（失去知觉的）in the living room. As they carried him out of the front door, the back of the house blew up. It was later found out that some old electrical wiring had caused the fire. Riggings spent the next week in the hospital with some burns, but he's healthy now. "If Angelica hadn't run to our neighbours for help, I wouldn't have made it." Riggins says. 

Since the fire, Angelica and her dad have moved—to a home across the street from their old one.
