    Once upon a time, there lived a kind king. But the king was also very1. He would not do anything other than eat and sleep. He became fatter and fatter, and finally found it difficult to move his2– even his feet.

    The king invited doctors from different parts of his country to make him3. But no one could help the king lose weight.

    One day, an old man visited the country. He heard about the king's4. He volunteered (自愿) to help the king lose some weight. The king decided to let him5.

    The old man lived6. He said that the king had to come to him and asked the king to come for treatment the next day. But the king would have to7there, the old man added.

    The king came the next day.8, the old man was not there. His son asked the king to come and meet his father the next day.

    The king came every day for two weeks, but he never once saw the old man. But he did notice that he felt a lot9. He had lost some weight. He finally realized why the old man had asked him to walk so far.

    Last Sunday, we had a class trip to enjoy ourselves. Our head teacher took us to the beach for a 1. When we arrived there at 9:00 a. m. by bus, we heard a big  2. It was made by wind and waves (海浪). It sounded like they were playing wonderful symphony(交响乐). Right away, we sat down and 3 to enjoy our picnic. We told jokes, sang and played games while eating sandwiches, chocolate and other snacks.

    In the afternoon, some students ran 4 each other in the water and swam for fun. Alice and I tried to 5 fish in the water. Some students helped the cleaners 6 up the rubbish. Others played cards and chess. Everyone looked extremely 7.

    At 4:30 p. m. we had to go back to school, 8 we wanted to spend some more time on the beach. Just then, I found a blue hair band on the sand. At first I thought it9be Alice's, because she is the only girl who likes the blue color. Then I thought it 10belong to her because I saw her wearing a yellow one. At last, we knew it was Cindy's. We went back to school at 5:45 p. m. The picnic came to an end, but we'll always remember the good time we had.

    Tom, eleven years old, was in bed in hospital. Several days ago, while he was playing baseball, he 1 and his head hit the ground. The doctors believed that he might never get well.

    "He seems to have given up 2. So medicine won't work. Perhaps he needs something else," said one of the doctors. "When I visit Tom, all he 3 says is that he would like to meet Babe Ruth." To meet Babe Ruth, of course, was almost 4 Babe Ruth was the most famous baseball player in the United States and he was very busy.

    The next day Tom's father managed to tell Babe Ruth about the 5 of Tom on the phone. Twenty-four hours later, as Tom was lying in his hospital room, Babe Ruth walked in. Young Tom couldn't 6 it really was Babe.

    Babe Ruth sat down at Tom's bed and said, "Now listen, kid, you've got to get 7 I've brought you a new American League baseball. You must start throwing it."

    Tom's father just stayed there, saying nothing. His eyes were full of 8the great man.

    For Tom, this was the 9 of a new life. Once he thought he would never be saved. To the surprise of his doctors, young Tom walked out of the hospital on his own feet a few weeks later. He was able to live a healthy life all 10 the help of Babe Ruth.

    I was living in a house with a long history in Halifax, Nova Scotia five years ago. One day one of my friends from the West Coast came out to visit me. He was1for 3 weeks so he brought a lot of bags and suitcases, and other things like a2. I told him he could sleep on the bed in the front living room.

      One morning after a late night of drinking, my friend ran into my room shouting" Fire, Fire". Without3, I jumped out of bed. The floor was4against my feet as I ran into the hallway, right behind my friend. I couldn't see the fire anywhere, 5as we ran towards the front door, I could hear the6making a loud noise all around me. It was inside the7. We ran out into the front yard and looked8at the house, seeing black smoke coming out of the9house.

      We were standing there watching the house when I looked down and10all of my friend's bags and suitcases11lined up on the front grassland, including his basketball. 12he noticed the house was on fire, he took all of them out to the grassland before coming back to13me about it. That fire had started in the basement（地下室）, and it spread up into the walls and was burning the14we were standing on. The floor and much of the house fell down not long after we came out. The firemen said we were very15.

Of course，we are not friends anymore.
