Once there was a king. He was wise but everyone was afraid of him. His face showed the sadness deep in his heart. So there were deep 1 lines（皱纹）on his face.

    In his country lived a beautiful girl. Everyone seemed to love her, so did the king.He wanted to 2her, and finally he decided to speak to her of his love. After he dressed in his best clothes, he looked in the 3, but he saw a hard face, 4when he tried to smile.

    "How about wearing a mask（面具）?" he thought. Then he ordered his magician topaint a mask that looked kind and happy and handsome. The magician 5and said: "But you must keep your own face in the same lines that I paint and be kind to all people from your heart. If not, the mask will break." The mask looked so6that no one knew it was not the true face of the king. Months passed, the beautiful lady got married to the king, and the king treated everyone 7to keep the mask from breaking.

    At last, the king didn't want to cheat his beautiful wife any more. 8 he asked the magician to take the mask off. Surprisingly, he found his face was just like the mask he had worn for so long!

    This story tells us that a man is what he is in his heart.

    Susan was a lively girl. She worked as a 1. She was once the most beautiful girl in her hospital. Many young 2 liked her and wanted to marry (娶）her. People could 3 see her sweet smiles.

But one day everything changed. She 4 a car accident and her was disfigured (毁容). She felt quite 5 and stayed at home all day. She didn't want to 6 anyone.

Her parents were afraid she would go 7. So one day they took her to “Blind (盲的) Children's Home”.

    Susan cried all the way home in the car, but it was with happiness. Susan changed in the end. Smiles came back to her face again. 

    In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had a(n) 1 voice and he wanted to work in Disney s cartoon film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our 2!"

    The duck was the famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and 3 his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was 4 and greedy (贪婪的) and he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his 5 when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more 6 than Mickey himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.

    In the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto 7 hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA, and 8 in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice 9 —there were no more new cartoons.

    My friend's mother was badly ill in hospital, she couldn't sleep at night and often 1 to herself. My friend was angry 2 her and asked his mother 3 talking. Since then, his mother didn't say anything. The doctor said she had a kind of mental disease (心理疾病), she couldn't look after herself like a normal person. My friend was very sad. He thought it was his fault (过错).  He said that he could do 4 if his mother became better.

    Do you know 5 our parents love us and care for us all the time? I think we should also love our parents and take care of them. A good relationship with your parents can make you be a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

    One day I ran into a stranger as he passed by me. I said to sorry to 1immediately. He replied with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, 2. I wasn't watching out for you."

    Later that day. When I was cooking, my 3 was too close to me. When I turned to get 4 milk, I nearly knocked her over.

    "Move out of the way." I shouted.

    She walked away 5. But I didn't feel like I had to say sorry to her.

    I felt quite sorry for my lovely daughter. Then I went to her bedroom to tell her that I shouldn't have 9 her. She kissed me on my cheek and said, "It's ok, mom. I love you anyway."

    If we can be polite to strangers, 10 can't we do the same for the ones we love?

    A man walked into a restaurant. The restaurant advertised it had the1menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able to provide any dish, no matter how2it was.

    At the bottom of the 3, there was a notice that said, "If you do not see the dish you need on this menu, please tell us and we will add it to the menu right away."
