Three years ago, I got to know a poor lady named Rose. She had no children and lived alone. When I went to visit her, I always took her some1and food. One day she asked me to have coffee and delicious food for lunch at a restaurant near her home.

    2the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered to3the lunch, I was afraid I must hurt her.

    There were many people in the4and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went into the5. I didn't know what happened. After about 20 minutes, she came out with some food. Then we started to enjoy the delicious food together. She told me that the restaurant allowed people to work for a meal6they had no money. The restaurant also might give them a free meal if they were not7to work, especially for the disabled.

    I 8remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. We had a meal, and Rose paid for it by her work. The weather was9and bright, and everyone's smile was warm and bright as well.

    I'm still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do something for our friends and other people. The world will be10if everybody would like to share happiness with others.

    It was 1 birthday.She got a letter from her uncle.“Dear Mary，” he wrote in the letter.“Happy birthday.I'm sending you some 2 .They will arrive tomorrow.I hope you'll like them.”

    Mary was very 3 .She liked eating eggs and chicken.“I can keep the chickens 4 their eggs or eating them，”she thought.

    When the chickens arrived the next day，they were put in a box.She took the box off the truck and began to carry it into her garden，but the box was so heavy that she dropped(掉)5.

    The box fell on the ground and broke open.The chickens all 6 out.They ran here and there.Mary 7 hours in trying to find them.8 few days later her uncle came.He asked，“Did the chickens arrive safely？”“Yes，but I dropped the box.It broke open and the chickens ran everywhere.9 took me the whole morning to 10 them，”Mary said.

    “Did you find them all？”asked her uncle.“I hope so，”Mary answered，“but I only caught eleven of them.”

    “That's very interesting.I only sent you six，” her uncle said with a smile.

    It all started at the beginning of the ninth grade. Angela found she couldn't see things clearly all the time. She became very 1, but she hoped nobody would know that. When her mother asked her to see the eye doctor, she didn't 2. But her mother's mind was made up.

    Three days later, Angela got new 3 and instructions from her doctor. "All of the kids will think I'm silly," Angela said. Her mother 4 and shook her head, "You look just as beautiful as before." But Angela didn't believe her.

    The next day, Angela kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. She felt 5. Suddenly, she heard her friend Della shout. Angela ran over to the other girls. "6 is the matter?" she asked.

    "My ring is gone!" Della cried. "My sister sent it to me from California. It's very special and I can't lose it." Angela and her friends began to 7 for the ring in the grassy area of the playground. Angela realized that she could do better 8 she could see better. She took the glasses out and put them on. Everything looked so different! So clear! She looked down at the ground and a bright light caught her 9. It was the ring.

    "Here it is," she shouted. She handed it to Della.

    "Thanks, Angela." Della said. "I 10 thought we'd find it." She paused (停顿). "Hey, I didn't know you wore glasses. They look great!"

    "Maybe wearing glasses won't be so bad after all," Angela thought.

    The Black family like to do things together. Each Saturday they1each other with the work.

    Today Peter and Jean cleaned their2. They made the bed, swept the floor, cleaned the windows and took out the3. Then Jean put some beautiful flowers on the table. Dad went to the store to4food for next week. He knew about everyone's5food in the family. He was6he would make everyone glad. Mom washed the clothes of all the family. That made her tired,7happy. Then Jean helped Mom water the flowers in the8.  Peter helped Dad fix his bike. Soon they finished9the work.

    "Now we can have some fun," said Dad. "What will we do or10will we go?"

    Everyone had an idea. They decided to ride bikes to the seaside. It is wonderful that the family like to work and play together.

    One day an angel (天使) came across three peas. She said she could help each of them 1 a dream.

    The first pea wanted to fly in the sky, and the second one's 2 was to swim in the sea. The third one said it had been 3 going to a place where it could bring happiness to others. The angel 4 them where they wanted to go. The first pea fell onto the5 after a long flight and was eaten by a hen. The second one sank into the sea and had to stay in the darkness alone all its life. The third one flew into a flower pot (花盆) whose 6 was a poor little girl. Having been ill for a long time, she was very 7 and couldn't go outside.

    One day, when the girl was walking as usual in the house, she 8 a small pea plant in the flower pot. 9 the plant only had two tiny leaves, it seemed to be cheerful. When a light 10 came, it danced and seemed to be encouraging the girl to cheer up. "I will grow up like this plant and I will be better soon," she said in a confident voice. From then on, the girl stayed beside the little pea plant, watched it and talked with it. Day by day the plant grew taller and taller, and 11 the little girl became better and better. Finally, the pea plant flowered and the girl returned to her 12.

    Then the angel came. The pea plant waved its leaves to her and said, "Look! My 13 has come true and I feel I'm the 14 pea in the world!" The angel smiled, "Only the dream that can 15 others will bring happiness in return!"

    I was born with the ability to run very fast. As a result, I was the best runner in my school. I 1 get the first place in every race. But that was before a terrible traffic accident, which changed my life completely.

    After I woke up in a hospital, I found that I lost all feeling in my legs. I 2 sitting in my wheelchair. Sometimes when I thought about it, I got really sad inside. When I was 3 in my room, I even cry. However, thanks to my father, I am not going to cry about it any longer, and I'm not sick or helpless.

    Not long ago, Dad talked with me in person. And this conversation helped me to change. He told me to be brave. "You can be good at 4 else besides running. Try to find it out, Jane!" said my father, with a 5 expression on his face. 6 I started playing chess. Before I never thought of playing something like chess, but now I'm getting pretty good at it. I 7 Dad last night. Dad said I could enter their chess competitions.

    Before my accident I used to be good at a lot of things and I never really thought about it. But with chess I really have to think about it a lot and practice and try. 8, now I have to practice lots of things, and when I'm able to do a thing without 9, I have the feeling of winning though it isn't a/an 10.
