Sitienei, a 90-year-old Kenyan grandmother, has become the world's 1 primary school student. She is studying at the local primary school to learn to read and write. She is from a small 2 in Kenyan. She has spent most of her life 3 as a midwife(接生婆), helping women to give birth to babies. She wants to pass on her midwife skills to the young. She said she didn't have a chance to go to school when she was 4. So she wants all the children in her village to 5.

    The head teacher at the school said, "I'm proud 6 her. All pupils loved her. They all want to learn and play with 7 ." He also said, "She is doing well in thinking her skills. I can say I have seen a big difference in this school 8she came here."

Sitienei often said, "I want to tell children, 9 girls in poor areas, that 10 will be your wealth（财富）." She added, "With education, you can be whatever you want to be — a doctor, a teacher, a scientist, and so on."

    There is an old saying: "Take the time to stop and smell the flowers." I think we should also take the time to 1 flowers.

    My grandmother knew just 2 to do that. She grew flowers with earth, water and love, so her back garden was filled with beautiful flowers. She would smile when she saw the 3 shine down on them. In her front garden she planted flowers,  4. You could see red, white, and yellow flowers in it. My mom and I used to walk 5 them and enjoy their smells. Beautiful butterflies (蝴蝶) flew down on them. Grandma also cared for the wild flowers. She would send 6 and my brother out to pick flowers and would then turn them into delicious wine (酒).

    Grandma not only planted flowers in the gardens 7 also planted flowers in our hearts. Her delicious dinners made with love encouraged us. Her sweet smile always made us 8. Her hugs (拥抱) and kisses were the sunshine that kept our own love 9 day after day.

    Take the time to plant a few flowers yourself today. Show your smiles, kindness and love .Plant your wishes, talents and pleasure. Make this 10 brighter and brighter with your sunshine.

    When the Spring Festival falls, red flowers bloom(盛开)on the windows of my home, of course, these are not 1flowers. But in the cold of 2, these wonderful flowers bring warmth to us. They are made of paper by my 3, who is now aged 70. With a few cuts, she 4 a piece of paper into a beautiful work of art

    When my grandma was considered clumsy(笨拙的)in the 5. But on a cold winter night, she saw some beautiful red paper 6on her new neighbor's windows. She was so interested in it and decided to 7 from her neighbor. Tons of paper was wasted, and her fingers were cut many times. But she 8 practicing. It took 10 years 9 my grandma could make paper art skillfully(娴熟地).The red flowers, blooming like burning fire, light up her world. Now, everyone in the village 10 her.

    My grandma's story has shown me what it takes to realize one's dream.

    The best experience of my life was when we went to Stonehenge. We went there on a group tour.

    When I saw Stonehenge, my first 1 was that it was huge. You know, Stonehenge is about 5,000 years old. I 2how the ancient people moved these huge pieces of stone.

    After we parked at the Stonehenge parking lot, our guide Nick took us to a 3shop. There my mum got a nice painting of Stonehenge. After we left the gift shop, we went to Stonehenge 4 the tunnel.

    That was a privilege（优惠待遇）at Stonehenge5we were able to go right up to the stones and touch them. Usually visitors 6 get really close and touch the stones. At Stonehenge we walked around the circle and then 7 the ceremonial(仪式的）centre. There we were given half a(n)8 to look around and explore.

    930 minutes we got ready to leave. It was 10that we had to leave Stonehenge. Hopefully one day I'll go back.

    Two men were1in a very wild and lonely part of America.   2days they had not even seen a house，only a few huts made3wood. Then one day they met an old Indian. They found that he knew their language. One of them asked him if he could tell them4the weather would be like5the next few days.

    "Oh, yes, "he said."6is coming, and wind. Then there will be snow for two days, but after that there will be bright sunshine. "

    "7that wonderful?" said one man to his friend. These old Indians know8about the secrets of nature than we do with all our science. Then he turned9the old Indian.

    "Tell me," he said, "how do you know all that?" The Indian replied, "I heard it 10the radio."

Dear Sue,

    I'm having a good time in Beijing. Now it's 12:00 at noon. I'm in a 1. The restaurant is big and clean. There are 2 in it. And many people are eating meals here.

    I 3 a small bowl of beef noodles, some tofu and some vegetables. Beef soup 4 potatoes here looks good, and I want to order some next time. As for drinks, I order some 5. The meal will cost me 50 yuan. I think it is cheap.

    The 6 is very good. The noodles and the 7 are delicious, and the vegetables are great, but the tea isn't very good.

The people in the restaurant use 8 to have meals. I can't use them and I'm learning how to use 9. It's very interesting. I think it will take me a 10 time to finish the meal.

    I will go back to New York next week. See you soon.
