      It was a Christmas night. I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival. When I was complaining（抱怨）about it, three people appeared at my desk — a tired woman and two children.

    "Are you all sick?"I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.

    "Yes,"the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.

    But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. One child had a fever, but his temperature was OK. The other child had an earache, but she could not tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending（假装）to cough.

    Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. "Take your time, please,"said the mother. I checked their charts — no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless while the hospital was warm.

The family huddled（蜷缩）together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses'station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. The nurses' station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency（急诊）".

    We took out our meals for our Christmas "patients". We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, "Thanks for being our angel（天使）."

    One day, I saw a boy shop alone at the shop I worked. He chose some school things he wanted and went to the checkout (付款台).

    The young shop assistant (店员) told him he needed to pay $37.60. The boy became very sad and said he only had $20. He took out one thing at a time, and at last he got down to his $20. He cried and asked if he could call his mum to pick him up. He called his mum. However, his mum was too busy to pick him up in a minute.

    He tried to stop crying and walked outside to wait on the chair in front of the shop. This was too much for the young assistant. She looked outside all the time to see if the boy was all right. Then she said, "I hope I can pay for the rest (剩余部分) of his things." One of the other girls said she had some money. Then two others said they could help too.

    These four young girls pooled their money and found they had more than enough to pay for the boy's things. Then they chose more school things, and gave them all to the boy. The boy smiled happily~ His mum arrived much later, but he didn't just run to the car; he ran back into the shop and called out, "Thank you!"

    I was so proud (骄傲的) of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the pleasure (快乐) of giving.

Li Wen is a 15-year-old boy. He works hard and{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（do） well in school. It is hard to believe, that he used to have {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（difficulty） in school. When he was a little boy, he seldom caused any problems, and his family{#blank#}3{#/blank#} （spend） a lot of time together. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, things began to change a few years ago. His parents moved to the city to work, and they could not be at home to look {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him. So he became less interested in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（study） and was absent from classes. Then his parents were so worried{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they decided to send him to a boarding school. He found life there difficult. One day he told his teacher that he wanted to leave the school. His teacher advised his parents to talk with {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（they） son in person. This conversation changed his life. He realized that his parents would always love him, and they would be{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（pride） of everything good that he did. Now he is much {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （happy） and more outgoing than he used to be. 

Do you think everyone enjoys their weekends？Old Henry {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（do） not. 

Last month，he {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （go） for a walk with Wangwang，his cute dog. It was a nice day and Old Henry was happy. He{#blank#}3{#/blank#}（sit） on a bench and watched Wangwang play with a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（friend）black cat. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（year） before，when Wangwang was young， {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （he） wife was also there. They always walked on the weekend. 

Then it was time {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（go） home. Old Henry {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（look） for his dog. "Wangwang! " But Wangwang wasn't there. 

Now Old Henry is very sad. He {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（have） no dog and no family. He doesn't want to do {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（something）. 

When I was a student, life gave me a gift—happiness. One weekend, a car ran over me and hurt my 1 on my way home. 

Several days later, when I woke up in the 2 , I knew that I had to spend the rest of my life without arms. I felt 3 at that time. I was scared, but I knew that I had to face the fact. I couldn't get my arms back even if I4 every day. 

However, I got so much 5 from my family and friends. They made me become strong. From then on, I lived a（n） 6 life and enjoyed it. But in my daily life, I often see my classmates 7 little things: the bus comes late; they don't have mobile phones but others have, and so on. For me, I learned something important from the accident（意外）8 . We shouldn't pay too much attention to what we have 9 . We should think of what we have. Someone may say, "If I have a new car, I can 10 my life." But when you get the car, you will feel happy for a week and then feel unhappy because of other things. 

Happiness is about what we have! It comes from learning the importance of the things we have. 

The meaning of life is what we choose it to be. To Jiang Bing, a man from Weinan, Shaanxi Province, life just means living and helping others. Suffering (受苦) from ALS (渐冻症) for more than 30 years, Jiang has never lost his love for life. What's more, he has been teaching more than 200 children for free for over twenty years.

At the age of 16, Jiang Bing fell to the ground on the way to school and was unable to stand up again. One doctor told him that he had a disease that was hard to cure (治愈) and suggested giving up searching for treatment. Surprisingly, Jiang was really sad at first. Then he faced it positively instead of feeling fearful (害怕的) and hopeless. He kept studying every morning and valued every moment, spending one day like it was a month.

Though Jiang couldn't enter a university himself because of the disease, he succeeded in teaching his younger sister and helping her get into a university in 1994. Later, the people living in the community realized that the special man could teach their children. So they asked him for help. The next year, Jiang started helping children with their studies. He could also teach them art and clay sculpture (泥塑). He once taught 24 children in one single class, all for free.

Today many of the children that he taught have finished their university studies. Zhao Feiyu, a student who once received Jiang's help, runs an art training school now. "He taught us wisely and carefully, and took no money," he said. "He is my teacher and friend."
