     Hello, I'm Tom. I remember at one time, when we were running on the playground, I was too tired to go on. As I wanted to give up, some of my classmates cheered me up. My classmates' encouragements helped me finish the run. I'll never forget it.

     Hello, I'm Mary. When I was in Grade Two, I didn't prepare well for an English contest. I said sorry to my teacher. He said: “Any opportunity is important. You should never give it up easily.” Later on, I made good use of every opportunity. I'll never forget him.

     Hi, I'm Lucy. The time I traveled to Qingdao with my classmates was the most unforgettable experience. We swam in the sea and caught crabs (螃蟹) on the beach. We played games and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. I will never forget that trip.

     Hi, I'm Jim. I took part in the red song competition with my classmates last year. Every day, we rehearsed(排练) very hard in order to get a good result. Because of our hard work, we achieved a good result in the competition.

    Once upon a time, there was a wolf(狼). He lived in the forest. One day, he was very hungry {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. He came to a farm and saw some sheep (绵羊)on the farm. The wolf looked around. He did not see the shepherd(牧羊人) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Suddenly he had an idea. He put on a sheepskin（羊皮）and dressed up as a sheep. Then he came up to the sheep. He pretended(假装)to eat grass. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} In fact, he just wanted to eat the sheep.

    When night came, the shepherd gathered （聚积）sheep into a pen(围栏). He did not know that the wolf was among the sheep. The wolf walked around the pen. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. But the shepherd come back again. He went to the pen to look for a sheep to cook for his family. The shepherd picked a large one. To his surprise, that was the wolf wearing the sheepskin! The shepherd shouted. “Wolf! There is a wolf! {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.They ran to the sheep pen and killed the wolf.”

Alice: Hi, Frank! Are you free on Saturday?

Frank: Yes.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Alice: I heard a baby panda was born in the zoo. Let's go and have a look.

Frank: Oh, I have been there twice. I think you'd better learn something about pandas before you go to the zoo.

Alice: I know a little.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}There are about 2,000 pandas living in the forests.

Frank: That's true. They are in danger now.

Alice: Why? Is it because they don't have babies very often?

Frank:{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Another main reason is that humans cut down lots of bamboo forests, and pandas don't have enough food to eat.

Alice: That's too bad !{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Frank: We can make some posters to tell people to save pandas.

Alice: I will take some photos of the pandas first when I visit the zoo.

Frank:{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Have a good time!

Alice: Thank you.

The Inside of the World

    When I was a very little boy, I was always asking questions.

    One day when I was walking with my nurse along the city street, I asked, "Jane, what's under the street?" "Oh, just dirt (尘土) ," she replied. "And what is under the dirt?" "Oh, more dirt," she replied.

   {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. So I asked again, "Well, what's under that?" "Oh, nothing-I don't know-why are you always asking so many questions?" she asked

    I knew there must be something under that. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. I also heard that Chinese lived on the other side of the world, head down. I wanted to find out if that was true.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, down, down, down, till I came through on the other side, and then I would know. I was a very little boy, you see. With a small shovel (铁锹) , I started a hole in the back yard behind the grapevines (葡萄藤). No one knew what I was doing. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Then one evening my father asked, "What's that hole in the back yard?" {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

He didn't laugh when I told him, but he asked me if I knew how far I would have to dig.

    I hadn't dug through the world, but I did know how far it was.
