    This story is about a young man. He worked very hard at his lessons. He was too busy to have a rest. Ashe became ill, he couldn't go to sleep. Every night, when he went to bed, he closed his eyes and tried to sleep. But the more he tried, the more he stayed awake.

    After a while he decided to visit the doctor, "I just can't go to sleep at night. What shall I do? "

    "I have a suggestion," said the doctor. "Try counting numbers. By the time you reach one thousand, you'll be asleep. I am sure of it."

    The next day the man returned to the doctor's office. "Well," said the doctor, "How are you today? Did you try my suggestion?"

    The man still looked tired. "Yes, "he said, "I tried counting one, two, three…up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty-nine, I began to feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some tea so that I could go on counting up to one thousand. But then I still couldn't fall asleep. "

    One morning I met a man in my shop. He wanted to buy some new clothes. First I gave him a pair of trousers. He put them on to try, then ________ and gave them back to me and said, "No, give me a coat instead of them." I gave him a coat and told him, "This one is worth as much as the trousers." To my surprise he took the coat without saying a word and walked out of the shop with it. I ran quickly after him and said, "You haven't paid for that coat!" "But I gave you the trousers for the coat," he said. "They are worth (相当于……的价值) the same as the coat, aren't they?" "Yes," I said. "You didn't pay for the trousers, either!" "Of course I didn't!" answered the man, "I didn't take them. I am not foolish! Nobody gives things back and then pays for them."

    Hello, my name is Peter. I study at a secondary school in England. School days usually start at 9 am in England. So I usually go to school at 8:45 am. School is over at 3:30 pm. So I have much time to go to different clubs(俱乐部).

    I am good at all my lessons. My favourite lesson is cooking. All my teachers are very friendly and helpful. I never(从不) go home for lunch, l have lunch at school with my classmates. After lunch, we often go to the school field. Sometimes we play hall games. Sometimes we just sit under the trees, reading or talking. Sometimes we also go to the Computer Centre 1o listen to music or send emails to our friends.

    I like my school and have a good time at school every day.

Frank is a 12-year-old boy. He 1 in a village in England. The school in his village is not far 2 his home, so Frank often goes to school on foot. Frank usually gets up at about 7:00 in the morning. It is not early for him, 3 he usually has a quick breakfast. He usually drinks 4 and has some bread. He leaves for school at about 7:50. It takes him about 10 minutes 5 to school. Frank has 6 bike. Sometimes he rides his bike to school. At school, his favorite subject is math. He thinks it is 7 .

Frank has 8 dreams. One of his dreams is to be a doctor like Zhong Nanshan one day, so that he 9 help the sick people. "10 can I make my dream come true? I think I must keep studying hard," says Frank.

Before I was in Grade Six, I was always the worst student in my class. But things became 1 . That's all because a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to my school. 

One day after 2 , she found that I didn't have lunch with my classmates, but eating alone(独自). 3 she came to me and began to talk to me. After that day, she gave me particular(特别的) 4 . I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that someone believed in me. Her encouragement(鼓励) 5 me a lot. At the 6 of my first term in Grade Six, I came second in my class. 

But later we seemed to get less 7 . Every time I came to talk with her, she just put on a cold, stony face. I didn't know 8 . When I was in Grade Seven, we hardly ever talked with each other. When I 9 middle school, I was out of touch with her. She 10 answered the phone when I called her. 

Several years later, I went to a good university. One day, I 11 her at a party. I couldn't help asking her, "Why did you stop talking to me?"

"You are a 12 boy. I want you to be able to stand on your own two feet and try to 13 the best in you. Now here you are and I feel proud(骄傲的) of 14 , " She said. I could not say 15 , but I smiled. I'll always thank her.
