Mark lived in a mountain village far away. One day he became very 1 and everyone thought he would die soon. They sent for a   2. Two days later the doctor came and looked over the sick man. The doctor asked for a 3 and some paper to write down the name of the medicine. But there was no pen or paper in the village, because 4 could write. The doctor picked up a piece of burnt wood from the fire and 5 the name of the medicine on the door of the house. " 6 this medicine for him," he said." and he will soon get 7 " Mark's family and friends did not know 8 to do. They could not read the strange words. Then a young man had an/a 9. He took off the door of the house, put it on his carriage(马车) and drove to the nearest  10. He bought the medicine there, and Mark was soon well again.

    At the age of fifteen, both his legs had been badly hurt in an accident. From that time on he begged, dragging himself along the roads.

    In the villages, people hardly gave him anything — he was too well-known. Everyone had grown tired of seeing him — day after day for forty years, dragging his disabled and ugly body from door to door on his wooden crutches. He was among people, yet loved and cared by no one. They called him "Bell" because he hung between his two crutches like a bell.

    For two days he had eaten nothing. No one gave him anything now. Women shouted at him from their doorsteps when they saw him coming:

    "Go away, you good-for-nothing beggar! Why, I gave you a piece of bread only three days ago!"

    It was December and a cold wind blew over the fields. Now and then he sat down for a few moments' rest. He only got one wish — to eat — but no one offered anything. For three hours he continued his painful journey but received not a half penny.

    When he had visited all the houses he knew, "Bell" sank down in a corner, having no idea what he was waiting for. Several hens ran here and there in front of him. "Bell" watched them at first without thinking of anything. Then a thought reached him —the thought that one of those hens would be good to eat if it were cooked over a fire.

    He took up a stone beside him and luckily killed the nearest hen at the first shot. The hen fell, flapping its wings. "Bell" picked up his crutches, approaching where the hen lay.

    Just as he reached it, he received a strong hit in the back which made him let go of the crutches and sent him flying half a meter away. The owner of the hens, kept kicking him angrily. The other villagers came up and joined the beating. In the end, "Bell", half dead, was shut in the town jail.

    The police had no idea that he might need food, and he was left alone until the following day. When in the early morning they came to him, he was found dead on the floor.

    Nearly 7,000 medical workers in the team supporting Central China's Hubei province left the capital, Wuhan, the hardest-hit city in the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, and went back to their hometowns on Tuesday, March 31, marking the largest scale departure (离开) of medics (医学工作者)since the first group left on March 17. The Civil Aviation Administration of China has organized 51 planes to support the departure.

    More than 42,000 medics from other parts of the country have joined the battle with local medics to fight against COVID-19. The support teams came from 21 provinces, cities and autonomous regions(自治区) and some of them worked on several battlefields during the past months. The support team from the First Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang, was among those in the group. Sixty members were in charge of treating COVID-19 patients in 100 beds in the Union Hospital and treated 174 patients who have been seriously ill since they arrived on Feb 10.

    Wang Zhenning, the leader of its support team, expressed his thanks to the Wuhan people who offered great help to them. "I am proud towitness and play a role in history. We've been here, seen it happen and become better. Wuhan is our second hometown. We will forever care about the city and the people fighting with us." he said.

    Wuhan city government showed great thanks to all medics in a letter, expressing their gratefulness of the medics' efforts to save lives in the battle. "Thanks to your arrival, Wuhan welcomes today's peace and stability. We will always remember your kindness!" the letter said. In it, the city government also invited the medics to visit Wuhan in the future for sightseeing. Local people volunteered to line up and see medics off as the medics left for home after finishing their mission(使命) in Wuhan. Wuhan traffic police led the way for medics to the airport.

It was a snowy day. I 1 the friend who sat with me on winter evenings, talking about our experiences and thoughts—a true 2 .

I had almost given up hope of finding another friend like that after I 3 to this city. I wanted to invite a woman I'd met only twice to come share my dinner, 4 she lived an hour away, and it was snowing. I was sure she wouldn't 5 to come. However, I decided to have a try. So I made the 6 .

"Don't feel you have to come if you don't want to."

"Is it snowing? I have a7 , and I'm in bed. I'll think about it later, if that's OK with you."

"Of course it is. And here are your choices, if you decide to come. I've just been shopping, so I can8 you macaroni (意大利粉) and cheese or fresh vegetable salad."

There was a 9 for a moment. She was thinking. 

 "Since I'm sick, not the macaroni and cheese. Too rich for a cold. I 10 the vegetables," she said, "Vegetables. If it's not snowing too hard."

An hour before dinner, the phone rang. 

"I've got up. I've been in bed all day. Looking forward to the 11 ."

I was happy. 

An hour later, she 12 , holding a piece of chocolate. 

We sat by the fireplace, eating and chatting. The smell of the vegetables filled the house. And we 13 love, art and travels. Everything was warm and good. 

As she left, she said. "Those vegetables were delicious. They kept me from 14 I didn't choose macaroni and cheese."

"Next time," I promised. And I went inside, quite satisfied, because I knew there would be ad next time, and I didn't feel 15 anymore."

The documentary (纪录片), Jane, tells the life story of Jane Goodall, a zoologist from the UK. Goodall was born in England in 1934. When Goodall was a kid, she 1 living among wild animals, talking with them and learning about them one day. That 2 came when Goodall was 26 years old. She was asked to 3 chimpanzees (黑猩猩) living in Tanzania, an African country.

For 25 years, Goodall 4 with the primates (灵长类) in the wild. She found that chimpanzees make and use 5 . This was an important discovery because at that time, it was thought only humans made tools. Later in her life, Goodall 6 working to protect not only chimpanzees, but all animals. However, there are so many animals in danger. Luckily, Goodall met many 7 people during her trips. They gave her 8 that they could make a difference.

"There are a lot of young people going out and wanting to save animals." she said, "And they are so often told, '9 . It's hopeless.'" And if we think in that way, then soon there will be nothing left."

Now, she is 90 years old, but she still travels around the world and 10 people to do what they can to create a better world.

 Years ago, my friends and I went to the Caribbean. We stayed at the Winding Bay Hotel first. The owner of the hotel, Mr Emeritus, was 1 and always ready to help others.2 days later, we were planning to3 for four days at the Cable Beach Hotel at another place. Mr Emeritus told us that he knew the owner of it. He gave us his4 and told us give it to front desk when we got there. We thought that we might receive a fruit basket or something like that , because the 5 knew each other.

6 we arrived at the Cable Beach Hotel, I gave the card to the front desk. The man 7 us up to our room. We 8 our time at the hotel. When we would leave, the man told us we only needed to 9 one phone call. I told him that he made a mistake,10 he told us that Mr Emeritus had paid for everything else. We were so 11 .

 After we returned home, we sent a 12 to Mr Emeritus and thanked him for making our 13 memorable(难忘的). For years, we kept14 Christmas cards to him, and he sent them to us, too!15 honest owner Mr Emeritus is !
