Last October , while tending her garden in Mora , Sweden , Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(carrot) and was about to throw them away. But something made her look closer , and she noticed a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(shine) object. Yes, there beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.

    Pahlsson screamed{#blank#}3{#/blank#}loudly that her daughter came running from the house. “she thought I had hurt{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(I),”says Pahlsson

    Sixteen years{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(early), Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters —then ten, eight, and six— had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn't. Pahlsson and her husband {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing. “I gave up hope of finding my ring again," she says. She never replaced it.   

    Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}it remained until the carrot's leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} wonder.

    If you want to find out a piece of information about anything, the best place to search {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it is Wikipedia. This online encyclopedia is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (write) by thousands of people around the world. Anyone can add or change the information if he or she finds it not correct or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they are not university professors.

    What is more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 253 languages. This fact makes it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the few websites (网站) on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. By April 2008, over 10 million articles {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( put on) Wikipedia. A quarter of the articles are in English. Wikipedia is also a place {#blank#}7{#/blank#} people can find the latest news.

    However, Wikipedia has its own problems. There have been many complaints that some of the information on Wikipedia is not accurate and some important subjects are not included. This has led to arguments between the writers of the articles. The people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) Wikipedia say that the accuracy of the information is improving and that it is one of the top 20 visited websites on the Internet.

    So, if you are looking for some information, why not {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (try) Wikipedia?

    How are you getting along with your high school? It may be hard for you as this is the first time you {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (leave) your parents. I know that you are now having trouble {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (communicate) with others. That's {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you are new here and people don't know about you. But I think you can follow the advice below.

    First, you should take {#blank#}4{#/blank#} active part in the discussions and show your own opinions about the matters, and at the same time, learn to listen to other people's views {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (careful). Second, you should learn about your classmates' likes and dislikes, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} can make you get familiar with them. Only in this way can you get to know more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (difference) people and show them that you are just as friendly. I'm always here ready to help. We can take part in some {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (activity) together and I can introduce you to others.

    There's no need {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (worry) too much. People will know you more very soon and will like to make friends {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you if you can do as the above. Just remember, “God helps those who help themselves.”

    One day, I took my daughter to the park. As soon as we got there, my daughter {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(run) to the swing（秋千）and asked for a push. When I was helping my daughter, I noticed another girl trying to make her own swing{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(go) high by herself. Her old grandmother was sitting on the chair nearby and smiling at us. Happily, my daughter {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(push) higher and higher by me.

    Then I walked towards the little girl. I asked {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I could give a big push to her. She smiled and said “Yes”. For the next hour, I pushed the swings, and played {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my daughter and the little girl. When we went home, I was tired {#blank#}6{#/blank#} very happy.

    One day two years{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(late), after a day's work, I went to pick up my daughter before going home. While I was waiting outside the school gate, a little girl smiled {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(sweet) at me and gave me a big hug. As I watched her run away, I realized that she was the girl whom I gave a big push in the park.

    So far, I couldn't forget her sweet smile and the warm hug that she gave me. In fact, if we give love to others, love will find its way back to us. It may travel {#blank#}9{#/blank#} heart to heart or it may blossom（开花）in the heart. The love we share, the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(kind) we give, and the happiness we create will come back to us with a pleasant surprise.

    It was the ambition of an eleven years old boy in Kansas City to be an engine driver. Born without arms, he had been sent to special schools {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he learned to use his {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (foot) as “hands”. He spend all his spare time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (watch) trains and one day his dream came {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (truth). Seeing a deserted engine, the boy climbed in, he had no {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (difficult) in starting it up with his feet. Soon he was traveling along {#blank#}6{#/blank#} forty miles an hour. Signalmen could not see the young driver, so they set out {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(stop) the train. Meanwhile the boy reached Missouri, stopped the engine himself, and then {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) it go backwards. When he was near home, a railwayman caught up with the engine and stopped it. At first, he was very angry, but he smiled when the boy said {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (simple), “I like trains.” “Well, I'm glad you don't like planes!” answered {#blank#}10{#/blank#} railwayman.
