"Can I see my son?" the happy new mother asked. She couldn't wait to open the swaddling(襁褓) clothes. But when she saw his tiny face, she was shocked! The boy had been born without ears.

    Although the boy's hearing was perfect, he was often laughed at because of his strange appearance. It was only his appearance a little bit different. One day, he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother's arms, burst into tears, "A big boy called me a monster!" Sad tears flowed down the boy's face, also into the mother's heart.

    The boy's father asked a famous doctor for help, "Could nothing be done to help my son?" "I believe I could put a pair of ears on him if they could be found," answered the doctor. Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, "You are going to the hospital, son. Someone will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret." After the successful operation, a new person appeared! The boy's life became beautiful since then. The boy often asked his father, "Who gave me the ears, dad? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her." "It's a secret," answered his father quietly. The years kept their secret, but the day did come. It was the darkest day for the son. He stood with his father over his mother's casket棺材). Slowly and gently, the father raised the mother's long thick hair to show that the mother had no ears! "Mother said she was happy that she never had her hair cut," he said, "And nobody had ever thought Mother less beautiful than before, had they?" After mother had died, the boy finally knew the truth.

A lot of students are playing all kinds of sports on the sports field. A football game is{#blank#}1{#/blank#} on right now between Class 3 and Class 4. We don't know which team will {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Look at those people over there! Some students of Class 1 are practising the high jump. One of them is the best high jumper in the school. He {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hard every day. Many people think he will break the school record in the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} meeting next spring. Not far away from {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, some girls are preparing for a race. They will have an 800-metr e race in ten {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Now on the corner of the field, you can see another group of students. Their teacher is telling them how to{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the discus(铁饼). 

In schools, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} and more students love sports now. Sports help people to keep {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. They also help people to live {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. And while doing sports on the sports field, many people will become good friends too. Do you think so?

A duck is very sad because he is the ugliest among his brothers and sisters. But to his surprise, when he grows up, he finds that he has become a handsome young swan(天鹅)! This is the story of The Ugly Duckling(丑小鸭) by Danish(丹麦) writer Hans Christian Andersen.

In fact, Andersen was an "ugly duckling" himself. In 1805, he was born into a poor family in Odense, Denmark. As a young boy, Andersen was tall, ugly and had a very big nose. His friends always made jokes about his big nose. During his school life, young Andersen spent most days dreaming about the stories he imagined(想象) in class.

Later, because of his father's death, Andersen had to make a living(谋生) by himself. He once worked as a tailor(裁缝) and made money in a theater. The difficulties helped him write his fairy tales(童话). Andersen began his writing by writing plays and poems for some small magazines. He talks about love and sacrifice(牺牲) in The Little Mermaid(美人鱼), and makes fun of authority(权威) in The Emperor's New Clothes.

Andersen wrote for 43 years until the end of his life in 1875. He finished 168 works and we can read them in about 150 languages. They never stop bringing happiness to kids around the world.
