It was a long hard fight, but by now it was 1and this helped us very much. We ran here and there in the trees, calling and2. The enemies could not see us and did not know how many of us they were 3In the end the first officer shouted to them：                                                  

“Put down your4and stop fighting! The captain has fifty island people to help him. We can kill you 5!”

     So the enemies 6 fighting and we took their guns. Three of the enemies7 to come to join us, but the others refused. So we 8them in my cave. I stayed to 9 the prisoners(犯人), while the captain and his men went back to fight for the ship.

     All night we listened to the 10of guns and shouting, but in the morning, when the sun  11, the captain was master of his ship again. I went down the shore(海岸) to meet him.

“My dear friend” he cried, “There's your12! I'll take you to the ends of the13in it!” I put my 14round him, and we laughed and cried together. How 15I was to leave the island.

    Last week, our teacher, Ms Chen, and the whole class went camping in the mountains. When we 1there, Ms Chen began to teach us to start a camp 2. If bears and snakes were close 3 it, they might get burned and run away. Ms Chen also taught us to4 fish, so we could have more food to eat that night. I really liked the air there because it was so 5and clean. Many stars were up high in the6and the moon looked so lovely at night. We sat around the fire and Ms Chen told us some stories about her childhood. She was born in a poor 7but she had worked very hard to be successful. Many of us were so touched. I couldn't 8 the whole night. I was thinking about being a teacher in the future. When I got home, my dad9 me about the camping, “Was it fun?” I told him, “Everything was10. I especially love Ms Chen's stories. I want to be a teacher in the future.”

    Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble.

    One day, two 1 were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very 2. They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town If you are, we will help carry your basket.”

    “Thank you,” 3 the woman, “you are very kind. You see I'm weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was now going to market to 4 the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.

    “We are all going to the 5.” said the boys. “Let us have the basket.” And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked 6 with the heavy basket, but happily.

    The other day, I saw a little girl stop and 7. a piece of orange peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶), “I wish 8 would throw that on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may step on it and fall.”

    Perhaps some may say that these are not 9 things. That is right. But such a little thing shows that you have a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart. We must not wait for the 10 to do great things. We must begin with little things of love.

    As I held my father's hands one night, I couldn't help but notice their calluses(老茧）and roughness. His hands tell the story of his life as a 1 , including all his struggles.

    One summer, I remember, a drought (旱灾）hit Ontario,turning it into a 2 desert.On one og those hot mornings I was picking sweet corn with my dad to fill the last 3 from the grocery store.Fifty dozen was all we needed, which normally took twenty minutes. That morning, however, the process didn't 4 quickly. After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field, we still needed twenty dozen. I was completely frustrated and 5 . Dropping the basket heavily, I declared, "If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves. "Dad 6 ."Just think, my little girl, only ten dozen left for each of us and then we're 7 ." Such is Dad—whatever problem he 8 , he never gives up.

    Unfortunately, the bad effects of the drought were felt all over our county. It was a challenging time for everyone, 9 Dad remained optimistic. He 10 to be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plated. Only then did I truly begin to appreciate dad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.

    Dad is also a living example of real 11 . From dawn to dusk, he works countless hours to 12 our family. He always puts our happiness 13 his own, and never fails to cheer me on at my sports games even though he was 14 after long days. His loving and selfless nature has inspired me to become more sympathetic and friendly, putting others first.

    Dad, the life 15 I have learned from you will stay with me forever.You are my father,teacher,friend and,most importantly,my hero.

    I used to feel hopeless and frustrated. Last year my mother became 1ill and had an operation on her brain. I felt my whole world turn upside down and I had no 2what I could do to help her to reduce her pain. My eyes were filled with tears 3I was alone.

    Last month I 4a watch, which was an 18﹣year﹣old birthday gift from my father. I could not fall asleep for a couple of nights because I felt5about the loss.

    There have been many bad things like these in my life. I could never know how to deal with such tough things6I read" If You Have a Lemon, Make Lemonade".

    "When the wise man is handed a lemon, he says, 'What 7can I get from this? How can I improve my situation? How can I turn this lemon into a lemonade?'" the author wrote.

    I suddenly 8that life is full of ups and downs, so I need to stay positive all the time. Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have done with things 9. When my mother was fighting against her illness, I should have held her hands in mine, telling her things would get better10hiding and crying.

    Several weeks ago, I took part in a school singing competition. I didn't 11a prize. If I had not read this article, I would certainly have felt 12again. But instead, I smiled after the competition. I was happy that 13I had got some stage experience.

    Life is not just a bed of roses. There are thorns （刺） 14, but these thorns help us become brave and strong. When life 15us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade.

    George Mallory was an English school teacher who loved 1 . In 1924, Mallory and a team of British climbers tried 2 the top of Mount Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world. No one had ever done it before.

    Mallory had already tried to 3 the top of Mount Qomolangma in 1921 and 1922, 4 he didn't succeed both times. In 1924, he started to climb again. On June 8th, 1924, he and 5 climber, Andrew Irvine, were only a few hundred meters 6 the top of the mountain. The other members of their climbing team watched 7 Mallory and Irvine climbed slowly up towards the top. However, the weather 8 was terrible, and soon the two men disappeared(消失). They never returned.

    In 1953, Edmund Hillary from New Zealand, and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal, 9 reached the top of Mount Qomolangma. Most people thought that they were the 10 men to do this, but some people 11 whether Mallory and Irvine had got there first.

    Many years 12, in 1999, Mallory's body was found on Mount Qomolangma, about 13 from the top of it. However, it is still unknown if he and Irvine 14 reached the top of the mountain.

    Someone had once asked Mallory why he wanted to climb the most 15 mountain in the world. "Because it's there, "he answered.
