An Englishman shows a foreign visitor around London. "What is that strange building?" asks the visitor. "That's the Tower of London." "I see. How long did it take to build it? ""About 20 years." "In my country, we can build it in 20 months," answers the visitor. A short time after that they come to St. Paul's Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂). "Very interesting," says the visitor. "How long did it take to build it?" "About forty years." "In my country we can finish it in forty days," says the visitor. This goes on all day. They visit most of the best known buildings in the city. Every time they see a new one, the visitor always asks the same question. Then he always answers that they can do the same thing much faster in his country. At last, the Englishman gets angry with the visitor but he tries not to show it. At last they come to the House of Parliament and the visitor asks his usual question "What is that?" The Englishman answers "I don't know. It wasn't there last night."

Once upon a time, there was a man who got a full basket of coconuts(椰子). He wanted to sell them in the market. He put the basket on his  1  . On the way, he met an old man and asked  2  it would take to get to the market."If you go  3  ,"said the old man, looking at the  4  on the horse,"you will arrive in three hours.  5  if you go fast, it will take you all day."

The man didn't do as the old man  6  . He urged his horse on, but the coconuts fell(落下) down and he had to stop to pick  7  up. Then he urged his horse all the way to make up(弥补) for the lost time, but the coconuts fell down  8  . Many times he did this, and it was late and he felt very tired. When he got to the  9  , he found many people were leaving. Now he came to know that the old man's words were  10  .

Jay and Joan like to spend {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the winter holiday with their mum and dad. This morning they were all going sledding (滑雪橇).There was a heavy{#blank#}2{#/blank#} snow last night. The hill at the park was great for sledding. Jay and Joan asked their parents to take them out .Their parents agreed(同意).

They all put on{#blank#}3{#/blank#} warm clothes and boots (靴子).They brought hot drinks{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, put the sleds in the car and drove to{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the park.

Jay and his dad went down the hill on one sled. Joan and her mum went down on the other sled. They went fast{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. The snow flew on their faces{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. They laughed and laughed. Sledding was fun.

After playing for two hours，they took a short break. They wanted to have a hot drink to get out of{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the cold，so they went into a warm house. They talked about{#blank#}9{#/blank#} their fun day there.

Soon it was time to go back{#blank#}10{#/blank#} home. Jay and Joan were very happy today.

 One morning, Jackie is riding his bike home. He sees his friend, Ms Weasel. Sheís sad. Her bike has a flat tire (爆胎) but she must go to work now.

 Jackie says, "Ms Weasel, you can use my bike first. Tammy will help fix your bike."

"Thank you so much!" Ms Weasel says.

 "Sharing is caring!" Jackie smiles. Then he walks home:

 When Jackie gets home, he finds a big hole (洞) in his trousers. Oh no! He only has one pair of blue trousers!

"Don't worry!" Tammy comes, "I have many trousers. You can wear mine." That makes Jackie happy.

"Sharing is caring." Tammy says happily.

 Jackie then goes into the kitchen to make beef soup for dinner. Tammy comes with some vegetables. "Wow! What delicious beef soup!" she says.

"Let's have it together" Jackie says. "Sharing is caring!"

 Then someone is at the door. It is Ms Weasel"Thank you for your bike today, Jackie. I have a gift for you!"

"Wow! Honey cake! Our favorite!" Tammy says.

"We just made beef soup. Let's have dinner together." Jackie says.

"Thank you!" Ms Weasel sits down, "Sharing is caring!"

 When Sammie was just 8, she thought about a question: What breaks your heart?"For me, it's seeing people who need a friend," the seventh grader from Indiaga, the US, told People magazine.

"I' ve been lonely {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(我自己). I don't want others to feel that way."

D{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a summer camp, Sammi e learned about buddy benches(伙伴长椅). These benches are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(座位) at a school playground. A lonely child can sit on it, which shows that he or she is in need of a friend.

"It would be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(有创造力的) and really cool to have one at my school," Sammie said. "And I got the idea of making benches from bottle caps(瓶盖)." She got into action as soon as she came up with the idea. She picked h{#blank#}5{#/blank#} of bottle caps and found a factory to turn them into benches. "These benches can be used again and are {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(真正) good for the environment." She {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(添加).

 To ask more people to join her, she s{#blank#}8{#/blank#} her idea online. It soon got popular around the world. She was so surprised when she even got bottle caps from other countries.

 Today, Sammie has helped to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(建造)200 benches in schools and neighborhoods.B{#blank#}10{#/blank#} she has no plans of stopping. "I just look forward to making a difference," she said.
