    Bobby likes wearing hats. Hats make him feel cool. Hats1the sun out of his eyes. His favorite hat is a baseball hat.

    Last year, Bobby saved money every month to buy the baseball2 . After a few3 , he had enough money for the new hat. Although it4 him some months to buy one, he was excited.

    Bobby bought a new red hat because his favorite baseball team wore  5  hats. When he put on his new hat, he felt he was a part of the team. When Bobby's father saw the new hat, he was kind of6. He didn't think his son could save so much money.

    One day Bobby's father got two7tickets, so he planned to take his son to watch a baseball game. Bobby was very happy to wear his new red hat to the8. He was very excited to watch his favorite team. He thought he was one of them, 9 all the team wore the same red hats.

    His team won the game, and Bobby was very happy. The new hat was good and it10 his favorite team good luck. And it was really good to spend time with Dad.

    Elephants are big，but Teensy was the smallest of them.Teensy tried everything she could think of to help herself grow.She put her legs out straight.She ate a lot.However，nothing seemed to 1.

    One day Teensy went with the elephants to have lunch.They stopped in front of some trees and found their favourite green leaves.Teensy raised her nose and tried again and again.but  she couldn't 2the branches.Not even the low ones!

    At the end of the day，Teensy was with the rest of the elephants watching the 3.But Teensy couldn't see very much."Excuse me，"said Teensy politely，"I'd like to see more than your knees，if you please."But the elephants didn't hear little Teensy.They were too 4 enjoying the sunset.Teensy sat down and waited 5for them to finish admiring the sunset.She knew she was too little to walk away by herself，so she sat and6 what the sunset must look like."Oh，I guess it is too pretty for words!"she sighed.Teensy was very sad."Oh，woe is me."she said.Suddenly，Teensy heard a tiny voice."What is woe？"the voice said.Teensy looked down and saw a mouse."Woe means 7"said Teensy.She told the mouse about seeing only elephant 8 instead of the sunset.

    "I'm too little，"she said.

    "Why？You're not little at all，"said the mouse.

    "Do you think so？"replied Teensy，"I'm sorry you're so small.I know how it feels.""Don't be sorry，"said the mouse."I like being small!I can always fit into corners.

    "Wow，"said Teensy，"so being9CAN be good."

    "You're right.Little or big，you should always be10 of who you are."said the mouse.

    At a dark night, a man came to a lonely village. When he walked slowly, a yellow light suddenly 1 at the end of the road. It came from a 2 which was carried by a man. A villager near him said," Here Blind Sun comes."

   "Blind?" the man said," That's too 3. A blind man has no idea of day and night, can't 4 the beauty of nature, or even doesn't know what the light is. Wasn't he funny to carry a lantern?"

    As the lantern was coming near, the yellow light moved gradually to the man. The man asked, "5, may I ask you whether you're really blind?"

    The blind man answered," Yes, the moment I stepped into the world, I can't see 6."

    The man asked," In that case, 7 do you carry a lantern?" The blind man smiled," At night all the people without light are just as blind 8 me, so I light a lantern."

    The man said," I see, you light for others."

    But the man said," No, I do it for 9."

    "For yourself? But there is no 10 to do that." the man felt surprised again.

    The blind man explained," Were you ever knocked by others 11 the dark?"

    The man nodded," yes, sometimes."

    The man said proudly," Believe it or not. I 12 knocked anyone. Although I'm blind, I carry the lantern, not only light for others, but let others see me, 13 they won't knock me."

    After hearing that, the man was lost in thought…

    In fact, everyone has a lamp in himself, light it actively not only for others, but also for yourself! – Never put yourself in a dark 14 when you feel left out and find it hard to 15 well with others, are you ready to light your lamp?

Looking at life differently

    When I was 14, life was boring.

    However, I didn't mind having the same views (风景)every day. And even though my school had over a thousand students, I didn't really care to notice the differences between us all.

    But this boring view of mine 1when my parents bought me a camera for Christmas. After a month of playing with my new camera, I realized I had no 2for taking pictures. Even though I got friends to pose (摆姿势)in front of ancient buildings and in flowery fields, nothing seemed to3. My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity. After a while, I dropped my new hobby.

    Then, a month or two later, I suddenly decided to pick it up again. During the summer break, I went for a walk on the railroad tracks (铁轨)behind my house.

    The tracks are a warm red color. Before the walk, I thought," Maybe I should bring my camera."

    Surprisingly, this 4was what began my love for photography. When I was walking on the tracks without a model and only nature around me, I realized how important it was to look at the details (细节)of things. I didn't worry about trying to 5something beautiful. Instead, I just took photos of the beauty already around me.

    I quickly became6about color, lighting, shape and everything in between. After months of studying outdoor sights and looking at people's eyes, I was 7able to create beauty of my own. Slowly, my photos became something I was proud of.

    So far, my works have appeared in two magazines and been shown in two different museums. They're not huge achievements, but they're important to me. And they're the 8of how much my artistic abilities have grown.

    Thanks to this Christmas gift from my parents, I now have a new way of looking at the world.
