She cried and said, “I want to 3 like you!” Her father looked at her without saying anything. He 4 remembered his childhood(童年). He also wanted to draw and paint, but his parents didn't understand. They just got angry. He didn't want to see the same thing happen to his daughter. So he decided to 5 her.

    Students in high schools can be cruel and we certainly refer to a young man named Matt who was in my class. We laughed at him about his1. He was at least fifty pounds overweight.

    One day he sat near me in a2. Someone pushed him and he3on me and hurt my foot quite badly. With the whole class 4, I had to choose either5 it off or have a fight with him. I chose to fight in order to keep my 6.

I shouted, “ Come on, Matt, let's fight.” He said he didn't want to. But peer pressure(同伴的压力)7 him into the fight whether he liked it or not. He came toward me with his fists(拳头) in the air. With one8I bloodied(弄出血) his nose and the classroom became9. No one dared to say a word. Just then the teacher walked into the classroom, He saw that we were 10 and sent us out to the playground.

    He followed us with a11on his face and said, “I want you two boys to go out there and run that mile holding each other's hands.” The room broke into laughter. The two of us were12, but Matt and I went out to the track and ran our mile 13.

During the course of our run, I looked at him, with blood still flowing from his nose and his14slowing him down. It hurt me that here was a person, not all that different from myself. I no longer saw Matt as fat. It was amazing what I learned I was forced to go hand-in-hand with someone for only one mile.

    For the rest of my life I have never15 a hand against another person. I know it is wrong to do so.

    Tom was very proud of his dog Blackie. Whenever he got a chance, he would ask his 1 to please his friends with some tricks.

    One day Tom went to visit his friend Jack, who was 2 at home with a bad cold. "How are you feeling?" asked Tom. " 3 than yesterday," answered Jack. "I have a terrible cough, and there is no 4 in the house." "Don't worry, Jack. I'll 5 Blackie to the drugstore for some medicine. He'll be back in a minute before you know it. "Tom put a five-dollar note in Blackie's 6 and the dog ran down the street. "And keep the change," Tom shouted after him.

    "Oh, Tom, don't be 7. You know that dog won't be back with any medicine," said Jack. "Oh, yes, he will," answered Tom. Half an hour later, however, Blackie had not 8. Tom was worried and felt angry at his friend's little smile.

    "9 has happened to him, I'm sure." said Tom. "He obeyed me as a rule." Just then Tom saw Blackie at a distance. He hurried to open the door and let him in. Jack was shocked to see a bottle of medicine in the dog's mouth.

    "Good boy," said Tom. "But what took you so long?" Blackie ran to the door, 10 and wagging his tail. Tom looked out of the door and saw a bone outside.

    I am Frank. In our western countries, there are four seasons or 365 days in a year. Usually, we sleep 8 hours every day. So we have 122 days for sleeping. Then our study or work time is only 243 days left. But there are 52 weekends in a year. Each weekend is two days. We lose another 104 days a year for work. It takes up about one hour to have breakfast and supper. This comes to 15 days over a year. Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days. But we can't work all the time, so we need holidays. We have to remember that we get 2 days' holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1at the New Year. There are also 4 Bank holidays. Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work. But then we have one and a half hours' lunch every day, and half an hour's coffee break. That comes to 30 days a year. This means that we have only a few days left for study or work every year. What about you in China?

My brother Tom is very kind. He is always ready to help people who are in{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(苦恼). Now he is studying in a university. At the same time, he is a volunteer at a local after-school p{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(提供) some service to those who are not good at their studies. 

Last year, he s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} up a special website for the disabled children. At first, he met many difficulties. However, he worked them out quickly. He also called up more helpers to join the program. They spent{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(数个) hours with the children every week and taught them how to take care of themselves. Many parents feel e{#blank#}6{#/blank#}because they can't imagine their children can study like normal children. 

"W{#blank#}7{#/blank#}Tom's website, the program would be unable to have enough helpers to help us. I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction (满意)" one of the program {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(主人) says. 

"I feel happy to teach those children how to study. The happiest thing is that I can also{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(发展) myself and it can make my dream come{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(实现)." Tom says.
