Hello! I'm Alex. I often get up at 6:30 am. Half an hour later(之后), I have my breakfast. At 7:30 am, I take a bus to school. We have Math, Chinese and English classes from 8:00 am to 11: 30 am. I have lunch and talk with my classmates at school. We have three classes from 1:40 to 4:10 in the afternoon. After school, I often play with my classmates. We often play soccer, tennis and ping-pong. I go home at about 5:00 pm. I usually have dinner at 6:00 pm. Then I do my homework and watch TV. At about 10:30 pm, I go to bed.

    It was about 1：00 in the morning. It was bright light in my neighbor's kitchen. I thought he might be having midnight food so I went back to my bed. Soon, there was a burning smell and I realized there must be something wrong. I jumped out of bed at once and went to have a look. I saw fire coming out of his kitchen. I shouted, "Fire！Fire！"But nobody heard me. I ran quickly to my house and called the Fire Department(消防队) and went back to my neighbor's house.

    I knocked at the door and called my neighbor's name, but there was no answer. I tried to break into the house and saved a cat and a chicken. Then I poured water through the kitchen window but it was no use, because the fire was too big. Luckily, the firemen arrived and put out the fire in time.

    When my neighbor came back, he was sad because his kitchen was burnt down, but he thanked me for calling the Fire Department and saving his pets.

    A week later, my neighbor invited me to his home for dinner. In his new kitchen, he took a photo of me. Later on, he gave me the photo as a gift. It made me happy.

Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only cared about winning every race and becoming more successful.

One day,the boy took part in a running race in his village. He won the 200, 100 and 50-meter races without any problem. He was proud of himself and received great applause (掌声). But his grandfather stepped in and challenged him to a race with two unexpected competitors, an old man and a blind girl. The boy thought it was unbelievable but accepted. In the race, the boy finished first, while the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. With joy, he waved his hands at the crowd. But they kept silent.

"Why are people not cheering for me like before?" he asked his grandfather.

"Start the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finish line at the same time," the grandfather replied.

The boy was surprised but agreed to the race. During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked slowly with them to the finish line. The crowd gave them a standing applause.

The boy asked his grandfather, "For whom are the people cheering? Is it for me, or them?" The grandfather smiled and said. "The crowd did not cheer for any one of you. They cheered for how you all ran the race together. Facing the race of life, what matters is not just winning, but how you run the race."

Do you have a beautiful dream? I know almost everyone has his or her own dream. The dreams are very important to them. The dreams can give them power(力量) and make them work {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hard) than before.

I am a 15-year-old boy and I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (study) in a middle school now. It is my dream to be {#blank#}3{#/blank#}teacher in the west of China. Many children there want to go to school{#blank#}4{#/blank#} they can't. Because their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (family) are very poor and the parents don't have enough money {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (send) their children to school. But going to school is the only way to change their life. Teachers are greatly needed there, so I want to be a teacher to help {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(they). I am going to be kind to my students and make friends {#blank#}8{#/blank#} them. I am going to give them love and teach them {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to be a useful person. I think it is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) job in the world.
