My mother was a housewife. She thought that successful people spent a lot more time {#blank#}1{#/blank#} than watching TV. So she asked my brother and me to read two books every week in our free time. She would check them with marks, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she couldn't read the books at all.
When I went to school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted cool {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and hung out with friends. I went from being an A-student to a C-student, but I didn't care. One night, I complained about not having enough Italian T-shirts. Then my mother gave me all her money. She said I could get the money {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to buy shirts if I finished buying all things the family needed. I was very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that, but after I bought those things, there was no money left. I got to know how {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it was for my mother to do all this. I went back to my studies and become an A-student again. Finally, my dream {#blank#}7{#/blank#} and I become a doctor.
My story is really my mother's story--a woman with little education greatly changed my life as a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} . So, I believe there is no job more important than parenting.

                                                                       A Thanks-giving Campaign Day
    Today, we had a thanks-giving campaign day in our school with a lot of activities. In the morning, I made some thank-you cards and they {#blank#}1{#/blank#}to my teachers after class. The teachers were very happy to get them. From 3: 00 to 4:00 p. m, I joined in a speech contest. In it, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  a thank-you letter to Mum and Dad. After I came back home in the evening, I helped my parents {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the room and cook supper.
    I had such a meaningful day today. I realize that my parents and teachers and many others {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a lot for me now. I must thank them by {#blank#}5{#/blank#} harder and becoming a useful person in the future.

    One sunny spring morning, Clark and I were {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in the school library. Then I looked out ofthe {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and saw Mr. White, my English teacher crossing the school yard. “I don't want to meet him,” I said. “Why {#blank#}3{#/blank#}?” asked Clark. “He just doesn't like me.”I explained.

Clark thought for a second and said, “Maybe you've gotit wrong. He probably {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you don't like him, so he's not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} toyou. People like people who like them. If you show interest in him, he {#blank#}6{#/blank#} beinterested in you. Get to talk to him.”

    At last I walked down and greeted Mr. White warmly. Helooked at {#blank#}7{#/blank#},surprised. And then we laughed together and talked happily. I could imagine Clark watching {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the window, smiling.

    Learn to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people first. You'll find that the light you shine on others will soon be shining back at you even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} brightly.

    Why do I want to go to college? No one has ever asked me such a question. But many times I have asked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. I have come up with a whole variety of reasons. The most important reason is that I want to be a better man.

    Many things make {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different from or better than animals.

    One of the most important things is education. If I fail to receive higher education, my education will not finish. As I want to be a fully developed man, I must get a well-rounded education. Good colleges and universities are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to provide it. I know one can get educated in many ways, but colleges and universities are among the best places to teach me how to educate myself. When I am well-educated, I will be able to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} fit into society.

    Is there any traditional food in your hometown on Mid­Autumn Day？What is it?

    There was a grocery shop(食品杂货店) in a town. Plenty of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} lived in that grocery shop. Food was not enough for them. They {#blank#}2{#/blank#} everything and destroyed all the bags. They also wasted the bread, cookies and fruit of the shop.

    The owner of the shop got really {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. He thought, "I should buy a cat and let it stay at the shop. In this way I can save my things." He bought a nice, big fat {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and let it stay there. The cat had a nice time hunting(追捕) the mice and killing them. The mice could not move {#blank#}5{#/blank#} now.

All the mice sat and lost in thought. After a while a smart mouse stood up and said, "The cat moves softly. That is the problem. If we can {#blank#}8{#/blank#}a bell around his neck, then things will be fine. We can know {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the cat is coming." "Yes, that is the answer," shouted all the mice. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} old mouse slowly stood up and asked, "Who wilt tie tile bell?" After some moments there was no one there to answer this question.
