When I was in high school.I worked part-time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a matket. One day，as I was preparing the fruits. A little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was  about eight years old，and the girl.five or six. They were looking the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French),"They're good!" I knew it was French. Because I can speak and understand it.

    Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits.At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together,I was sure she was blind.

    Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits .The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.

    Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.

    It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn't tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language .this is what I regret to this day.

Li Shizhen was one of the most famous doctors in Chinese history. He was born in Qichun, Hubei in 1518.

Both of Li Shizhen's father and grandfather were doctors. Li Shizhen's grandfather was a country doctor who traveled in the countryside with a bag of herbs (草药) and medications and cured people. His father was a doctor who wrote several books.

Li Shizhen used to help his father in his medical practice when he was young. Li Shizhen's father wanted him to enter politics (从政). Li Shizhen studied for the exams and passed the country-level examination, but he was never able to pass the imperial examination (殿试).

When he was 38, he cured the son of the Prince of Chu and was invited to be a medical official in that court (宫廷). A few years later, he became an official at the Imperial Medical Hospital.

Even though he realized his father's dream, he didn't want to continue working for the court.

One year later, he left the court and returned to be a doctor again.

Li Shizhen was famous for his book, Compendium of Materia Medica《本草纲目》. He spent 27 years writing the book. Unluckily, Li Shizhen died before the book came out officially. It is such a successful book. Now it is still one of the most important medical books in China.

My favourite teacher is Mr Zhao. He has made {#blank#}1{#/blank#} big difference in my life.

On my first day at school, I was  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (real) shy and nervous. But Mr Zhao was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} kind that I soon forgot about that. In his class, he asked us {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(draw) a picture of ourselves. When he got to  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(I) desk, he looked at my picture and said, "Wow! I like those bright {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(colour)! That's great!" I felt {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(relax) at once.

Mr Zhao is patient and he always  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(tell) us not to worry about giving wrong answers. Also, he shows us how to learn {#blank#}9{#/blank#} our mistakes. Now I am in the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (nine) grade, and I'm leaving school. I will remember all the suggestions he has given me.

It is a nice day. Kate is at home with her family. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} She likes to read books very much. 

Her friend Mary calls her, "{#blank#}2{#/blank#} I have something for you. "

Kate goes to Mary's house, Kate sees a red note(便条) on the door. It reads, " Come in, Kate. And go to the sofa. " On the sofa, Kate finds a book. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} It reads, " Go to my table. "

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Next to it, there is a yellow note. It reads, " Go to my bedroom. "

Kate goes to Mary's bedroom. And what does she see? {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

" Happy birthday, Kate. " They say. 

Mike is my deskmate (同桌). This morning, he 1  a schoolbag in the school library. It is black. 2 books, a pencil box, a dictionary and a jacket are in it. The 3 is big. It's 4 , too. A pen, an eraser, a ruler and a 5 of keys are in it. The dictionary is an English dictionary. A girl's 6 "Lisa" is on it. 

What about the 7 ? They are a Chinese book, an English book and a math(数学)book. The jacket is white and red. It's very nice. Is the schoolbag 8 , Lisa? You can e⁃mail Mike 9 mike 20 @126. com. You can also 10 him. His telephone number is 238⁃9026. 

Last week I went to an art show. A painting caught my eyes. To my amazement, it was painted by Steven, one of my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Then many things about him came into my mind.

Steven was from a poor family. His parents{#blank#}2{#/blank#}not afford to buy him some basic things that he needed. Once our school provided gloves for poor children. I put Steven's name on the list. He was so {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when he received a pair. He loved to wear them and they were always {#blank#}4{#/blank#} than anybody else's. 

Steven had a gift(天赋) for painting and he could {#blank#}5{#/blank#} understand what I described in class. But he didn't have money to buy the paper for painting. So sometimes, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} him some. He parctised hard. And I often showed his paintings of the class. He was greatly {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

One day just before the summer vacation, he came to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} some art books. When the new term began, he showed some of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} paintings to me. I felt shocked . They were very good. Then we talked a lot. He said he would keep on. 

Later he was admitted(录取) to a famous art university. After graduation, he had many difficulties, but he never gave up. He was always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} his best to improve himself. His hard work and strong mind led to his success.
