    David walked down the street. All he wanted to do was to play basketball with Jim. But his mother told him to return his sister's books to the library on his way to Jim's house.

    In his eyes, books and summertime just don't go together. He thought he had read a lot during the school year. And he had never set foot inside a public library. Today he'd just drop the books off in the outside return box, but it was locked. He had to go inside to return them.

David walked inside the building a few minutes before closing time. He put the books into the return box. After a quick drink of water and a short stop in the toilet, he'd be on his way to meet Jim. He walked out of the toilet. The library lights were turned off. He was locked — in a library.

    David tried to use the telephone, but he couldn't find one. As the sun began to set, he searched for a light and found a little one on the desk. He used a pencil to write a note on a big piece of paper. It read," I'm locked inside. Please call for help." He put it on the front door. Surely, someone passing by would see it. He then turned his attention to the library itself.

    He was surprised to discover that this place was not so bad. Rows and rows of books! When he saw a book about Michael Jordan on the desk, he picked it up. He opened the book and began to read. He felt that being locked in the library didn't seem to be such a terrible thing.

On my thirteenth birthday, my father gives me a special present. It is a little bird, cute and colorful. She is not that 1 at first, but she then becomes a sweet part of my life. I look forward every day to playing with her. She means a lot to me, 2 a family member*. 

One day, she seems not quite herself and struggles* to fly. Dad tells me the vet* can surely make 3 better. So I bring the bird there, hoping she will be healthy soon. 4 she is more badly ill* than we can think. 

A few days later, comes the bad news and there is 5 we can do for her. At that moment, I know I 6 her and I can't stop crying. I cry all the way to collect her little body. When I walk into the vet, I see a woman with a little girl. After a short talk, it is clear why they are here. They lose their lovely dog. 

Then the vet brings my little bird and places it on the desk. I 7 . the body of my love with much sadness. When I turn around to leave, I am surprised to see that there is the 8 ,standing in front of me. She looks at me in the eyes 9 and asks me: 

"Do you want a hug*?" 

"Yes, that's what I need now." 

So, little girl, thank you for bringing the 10 to me which warms my heart. Just remember, we are never "little" to anyone. 

One afternoon，I went into {#blank#}1{#/blank#} art museum while waiting for my husband. I hoped to enjoy the works of art {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (quiet). 

A young couple walked in front of me and talked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the paintings between themselves all the time. The lady did almost all the talking，but the man kept listening to her. I thought the man was very patient {#blank#}4{#/blank#} nobody would like to be bothered(打扰) while enjoying the paintings. 

I met them several {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(time) as I moved through the different rooms of the art museum. Each time I heard her talking，I moved away quickly. 

I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(pay)for some gifts at the museum shop when the couple walked slowly to the exit(出口). Before they left，the man took out a cane(拐杖). Then he tapped(轻敲) his way. 

"He is a brave man，" the worker of the shop said. He decided not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (change) his life after his eyes got hurt. Though he is blind now，he never gives {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. He and his wife come here whenever there is a new art show. "

"But what can he get out of the art？ He can't see！" I asked. "You are wrong. He sees a lot， {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much) than you and I do. " The worker said，"His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his mind. "

I fell {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (silence). Then I realised that I learnt something about patience, courage and love that day.
