Even though I just had lunch not long ago, I was felling hungry again. I went to the kitchen to look for something to eat. That was when I discovered the pudding in the fridge. It was made from milk, sugar, eggs and fruits, and it looked so yummy. I noticed that there was only one left.

    I was putting the pudding on a plate when my brother came into the kitchen. He found the pudding and asked for it. “It's mine! I was the only one who found it!” I shouted. “You are my elder brother, you should give it to me!” said he. Then he started pulling the plate towards himself and I did the same.

    Suddenly, the plate moved to one side and the pudding slipped (滑动) out of the plate. It landed on the floor and turned into a yellow mess. My brother and I both looked at each other, feeling amazed and disappointed at the same time. It was such a waste!

    To my surprise, Ollie, our pet dog, walked over to the mess on the floor. It began to lap up the pudding happily, within minutes, the mess on the floor was gone. Ollie licked (舔) its lips when it was done.

    After watching Ollie finishing the whole pudding by itself, we realized      . If both of us had shared the pudding, we would both have got to eat half of it. It was because of our greed (贪婪) that we ended up with nothing. That day, my brother and I learnt a good lesson.

    It was a very hot day. Two farmers, Jack and Jim, sat in the shade of a large neem tree. Both of them were eating chapatis(印度薄饼) for lunch. Jack had three pieces of the flat, round Indian bread while Jim had five. As they were about to begin their meal, a young nobleman(贵族) went by.

    "Good day! Good sirs!" said the nobleman. The nobleman looked very hungry and tired, so Jack and Jim invited the man to eat with them.

    "How can we divide these eight chapatis into three equal parts among the three of us?" asked Jim.

    "Let us stack(叠起来) them up and cut the chapatis into three equal parts," suggested Jack.

    After cutting the chapatis, they shared the parts equally, and no one ate more or less than anyone else.

    After they finished the meal, the nobleman insisted on(坚持) paying for his meal. He put six coins into Jack's hand and ten coins into Jim's hand. And the two men were both very glad!

    Mr. Harris taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called" birdcat", which died out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull（头骨） as he talked. We all took notes carefully and later we had a test.

    When he returned my paper the next day, there was a big red"×" through each of my answers. I failed! There must be some mistakes! I wrote down exactly（确切地）what Mr. Harris had said. Then I learned that everyone in the class had failed. Why? "Very simple, "Mr. Harris said, "I made up all that 'birdcat'. But there had never been any such animal. So the information in your notes was not correct. Did you think you would get good grades for that?"

    However, we felt that was unfair. What kind of a test was this? And what kind of a teacher was he?

    Mr. Harris added, "I have told you many unbelievable things about this animal, such as the size, the color, but none of you have questioned. I hope you will learn something from this lesson. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct. In fact no one is." He also told us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we thought he or the textbook was wrong.

    Up to now Mr. Harris' class gave me and my classmates something just as important: to look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong.

A long time ago, there was a young man. He kept some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sheep). One morning, the man found that one of his sheep {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) missing. There was a hole in the fold (羊圈), {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the wolf could come in and take away the sheep. The man's neighbor advised him {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fill) the hole. But he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (not listen) to him. He thought there was no need to do so since the sheep was already {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (lose). However, that night, the wolf {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (come) again and took another sheep. The next morning, the man found that another sheep was missing. He was very {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sad) but thought it was not too late to fix the fold. So he{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (quick) went to repair it. From that day on, he never lost another sheep.

The story {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (tell) us it's never too late to make a change. Everyone makes mistakes, but we will get better as long as we learn {#blank#}11{#/blank#} our mistakes.

A: Hello! {#blank#}1{#/blank#} am Julie. What's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} name?

B: Hi! {#blank#}3{#/blank#} name is Frank. 

A: Nice to meet you, Frank. 

B: Nice to meet you, too.
