Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(offer)to them. A child seldom dislikes food {#blank#}2{#/blank#}it is badly cooked. The way meal is cooked and served is most important and a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(good) served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child{#blank#}4{#/blank#}he likes or dislikes the food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Parents should accent the fact{#blank#}6{#/blank#}he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthy should be omitted from the meal because of a{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(suppose)dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small part and let him come back for {#blank#}8{#/blank#}second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}let him get on with his food; and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food so that he can hurry back to the toys in his room{#blank#}10{#/blank#}no condition must a child be forced to eat.

    To breed snails (蜗牛) well, you need to spray water to the container every morning and evening, change soil every two weeks, and feed them with cabbages and sweet fruits—this is what Sun Youxiang, a fourth-grade primary school student in Hangzhou{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(conclude) after breeding snails for one year.

Elias' Story

    Elias, a poor worker in South Africa, said that the time {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of his life. In 1952, he went to see Nelson Mandela, a black lawyer for advice. Mandela was generous with his time, for{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Elias was very grateful.

    He began school at six, but he had to leave school two years later {#blank#}3{#/blank#} his family couldn't afford the school fees and the bus fare.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} a result, he had very little education. After {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (try) hard, he got a job in a gold mine. However, to live in Johannesburg, one had got to have a passbook. Not having one, because he was not born there, he worried about{#blank#}6{#/blank#} he would become out of work.

    Then Mandela helped him, telling him how to get the correct papers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stay) in Johannesburg. He became more hopeful about his future and later joined the ANC Youth League {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organize) by Mandela. Just as Mandela put it, the blacks were so badly treated that they had reached a stage {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they had almost no rights at all.

    In 1963, he helped Mandela blow up some government buildings. He knew that only by answering violence {#blank#}10{#/blank#} violence could they achieve their dream of making black and white people equal.

    A man was really worried about his son, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So the father decided to call on a Buddhist monk {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(train) his child.

    The Buddhist monk said to the boy's father, "You should leave your son to me. I will make him a man of{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(brave) within three months. However, you can't come to see him during that period."

    Three months later, the boy's father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the child and a(n){#blank#}4{#/blank#}（profession） boxer（拳击手）.

Each time the boxer hit the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up. Several times later，the Buddhist monk asked，"{#blank#}5{#/blank#} do you think of your child?"

    "What {#blank#}6{#/blank#} shame!" the boy's father said." I never thought he could be so{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(easy)knocked down. I shouldn't have left him here at all."

    "I'm sorry that's all you see. Don't you see {#blank#}8{#/blank#} each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(cry)? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have."

    If each time you are knocked down and you have the courage to stand up again, then you can be proud {#blank#}10{#/blank#} yourself.

    Two ladies living in opposite apartments say "hello" when they meet each other in the corridor. One of them says, "I moved here five years ago, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I never met you before. Could I ask your name please?" The other says, "I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) here for six years. How should I call you?"

    It seems very ridiculous {#blank#}3{#/blank#} people living so near don't know each other for such a long time. However, you can find this kind of story {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (perform) everywhere. It is the exact {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (reflect) of interpersonal relationships in the modern world. In the modern world most people live in apartments. They close their doors and never go out as soon as they get home from work. If they live alone, they will kill their time {#blank#}6{#/blank#}watching TV or reading magazines. They don't have any connections even with their {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(close) neighbors, who seem no different from people they meet every day in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} street.

    This phenomenon is no good to us, nor to our society. People will feel more and more lonely. The world becomes so indifferent. It's time that we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take) some measures to improve it. People living in the same place can {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (organize) to have some activities. We should call on people to be friendly to each other.
