This is my 1. How do you like it? I like it very much. It's always tidy. You can see a map of China and 2 pictures on the walls. My classmates and I draw（画）the pictures. We have a soccer in 3classroom, but you can't see it. It's under the  4 desk.

    Our teachers are always very5. They do many things every day. We have our lessons 6 8:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon.  7, we like playing games. Soccer is my favorite. My classmates like to play  8 with me because I can play it very well. Then in the evening, we have two more classes. I like to be with my classmates. I  9 a good time with them every day.

       10  about you? Do you like your classroom?

    People once went hungry．A rich man who made bread and cakes sent for twenty of the1. children in the town，and told them to take a loaf（条）of bread from a 2every day till the hard days passed．

    The hungry children came together3 ， and argued for the bread，because each wished to have the largest one．Finally they went away without even thanking the good gentleman．

    But Gretchen，a poorly﹣dressed little girl，did not argue or 4with the rest，but remained standing quietly far away from them．5the bad﹣mannered girls left，she took the smallest bread，which alone was left in the basket，kissed the gentleman's hand，and went home．

    The next day the children were as bad﹣mannered as before，and poor，shy Gretchen 6loaf hardly the size of the one she got the first day．When she came home，her mother cut the loaf open．Many new shining pieces of 7fell out of it．

    Her mother was very surprised and worried，and said，"Take the money back to the good gentleman at once，for it must have got into the dough（生面团）8mistake．Be quick，Gretchen!Be quick!"

    But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's 9 ， he said，"No，no，my child，it was no mistake．I had the silver pieces put into the smallest loaf to give you．Always be as satisfied，quiet，and 10as you now are．Go home now，and tell your mother that money is your own．"

    A doctor entered the hospital in a hurry after being called in for an urgent 1. He answered the call as soon as possible, changed his clothes and went directly to the operation block.

    He found the boy's father 2 in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad shouted, "Why did you take all the 3 to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?"

    The doctor smiled and said, "I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital and I 4 as fast as I could after receiving the call……And now, I wish you'd calm down 5 I can do my work."

    "Calm down? What if your son is in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son is 6 now, what will you do?" said the father 7.

    The doctor smiled again and replied," I will say what Job said in the Bible 'From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed by the name of God'. 8 cannot extend (延伸) lives. Go and pray for your son. We will do our best by God's grace."

    "Giving advice when we're not concerned is so easy." murmured the father. The operation took some hours 9 the doctor went out happily.

    "Thank goodness! Your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply, he carried on his 10 running. "If you have any question, ask the nurse!"

    "Why is he so 11? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I could ask about my son's 12?" commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left. The nurse answered, 13 coming down her face, "His son died yesterday in a road accident. He was in the funeral (葬礼) when we called him for your son's operation. 14 now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's funeral."

    Never 15 anyone easily because you never know how their life is and what they're experiencing.

    What comes to your mind when you hear the word "twins"? Born on the same day? Looking almost the same? Or having the same hobbies? I have a twin brother who was born on a1day from me. We do not 2very much alike and we are always3in different things.

    Twelve years ago, my brother, Wayne, was born at eleven fifty-eight4the night of May 28. Five minutes later, I was born—on May 29. Since the5we were born, I have always been heavier and6 than Wayne, so people usually think I am the elder brother.

    But Wayne is always smarter than I. He7reading and learns many things quickly. He knows a lot about animals, although he does not8much time playing with our9and birds. He knows a lot about10, but never likes to ride bikes as much as I do. Though we are very different, I love my brother very much. I hope both of us are having a happy life. We are sure we will have a good future.

    A man got a new car and he was very proud of it. One day, when he came back home, he saw his three-year-old son happily hitting the new car with a toy 1. He broke off the paint on the car. The man was so 2 that he ran to his son, took away his hammer (锤子) from him, and used the hammer to hit the boy's 3 as hard as he could for punishment. The poor boy cried 4 but his father didn't care at all.

    When the father calmed down, he took his son to the 5 as soon as he could. Although the doctor tried to save the broken bones, he had to 6 the fingers from both of the boy's hands in the end.

    When the boy 7 in the hospital and saw his hands, he innocently (天真地) said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your car." Then he asked, "But when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father felt very sad and regretted this very much.

    Think about this story when someone steps (踩) 8 your feet and you want to argue (争吵) with him. Think first before you 9 your patience with someone. Cars can be broken, 10 bones and hurt feelings often can't. So always remember: excusing is greater than argument and think before you act!
