One day, a farmer took a bag of wheat（小麦） to town. He didn't know what to do when the bag fell off his horse. The bag was too heavy for him to lift. He hoped that someone would come and help him.

    Before long a man came over. But the farmer's heart sank when he saw the man, because he was the famous judge（法官） in town. The farmer was afraid to ask him for help.

    As soon as he came up to the farmer, the judge got off his horse and said, “You need my help, don't you? Let me help you，” Then he took one end of the bag, the farmer took the other. They lifted the bag of wheat onto the horse.

    “Sir” asked the farmer, “how can I pay you?”

    “Well,” the judge replied, “if you see anyone in need of help, do the same for him,”

    Mr. White lived in a house less than two miles from his office, so he could1 home for lunch every day. Every time he drove back home, 2cars were parked outside his house and there was no room for his car. He had to park his car somewhere else, and then walked back home. This made him very 3.

    Then he wrote "NO PARKING"4 a small board, in the garden facing the road, but it didn't work. People seem to obey only a public notice.

    Mrs. White asked him to 5 a police notice. But he was afraid to do so. Then Mrs. White asked him to make6 just like a police notice. But he said he was not a 7and couldn't use the word "police". However, after a few days, Mr. White made a notice board.

    "Oh, dear!" Mrs. White looked at the board and said. "You told me you couldn't use the word 'police', 8why do you use it?"

    "9 at it again, please." Mr. White said. Mrs. White looked at it 10 this time and found it was a "polite" notice. She started to laugh, "You are really clever."

Hello! My name is Van Ness. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}! I am wearing a white and black shirt, and there is a black hat on my head.

I have a cool trailer(旅行拖车). I live(居住) in it so{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. I got it from my father. I like to call it "Harlow". The color of the trailer is white. It's very big, and it is about seven meters(米) long.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The bed is not very big.

Under it are some boxes, and my clothes are all in them. A brown table is also in the trailer{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. A white sofa is next to the table. It's my favorite place in the trailer. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

I am a painter(画家) .

Martin Strel is a swimmer, who is best known for swimming the big rivers. Martin holds Guinness World Records for swimming the Danube River, the Mississippi River, the Yangtze River and the Amazon River. 

Of all his achievements (成就), the greatest is his Amazon River swim: The Amazon is one of the largest and most dangerous rivers in the world. Many swimmers failed to swim it. Martin decided to make history and show the world that people could achieve their dreams with hard work and perseverance (毅力). 

On 8th April 2007, Martin completed his Amazon River swim all the way. He spent 67 days swimming about 3, 274 miles in total. His hard work and perseverance at last bore fruit. He became a big shot as well as a worldwide hero. 

Many people still cannot believe what he has done so far and they describe him as"the Craziest Man in the World". In 2009, American filmmakers produced a documentary called Big River Man. And the book, The Man Who Swam the Amazon, has been sold in many countries. The story of Martin's perseverance and hard work has encouraged many people. 

Does Martin swim for money? That's not the truth. Instead, he wants to teach people about the importance of keeping water clean. Martin has always been looking for the challenges of the impossible. What is his next?
