"I'm going shopping in the village，"George's mother said to George on Saturday morning．"So be a good boy and don't get into trouble．And don't forget 1good care of Grandma．"Then out she went．

    Grandma 2 in the chair by the window when she opened one little eye and said，"Now you heard 3your mother said，George．"

    "Yes，Grandma，"George said．

    George was bored to tears．He didn't have a brother or a sister．His father was a farmer，and 4farm they lived on was miles away from anywhere，5 there were never any children to play with．He was tired of staring at6pigs，hens，cows and sheep．He was especially tired of having to live in the house with his grandma．Looking after her all by himself was hardly 7way to spend a Saturday morning．

    "Go and make me a cup of tea for a start，8 sugar and milk．"Grandma said．Most grandmothers are lovely，kind，helpful old ladies，but not this one．George's grandma was a woman9was always complaining about something or other．She spent all day10on her chair by the window．George 11 that Grandma used to be a gentle lady，but as she grew older，she was not able to look after herself and even worse，she was easy to get angry．

    "We 12be nice to the old，George，"His mother always told him．

    Thinking of this，George 13into the kitchen and made Grandma a cup of tea with a teabag．He put one spoon of sugar and 14 milk in it．He stirred the tea well and carried it into the living room 15 ．

    We had a sports meeting last Saturday. It was a big 1 in our school.

    Wu Ying, who is usually the best runner in our class, 2 fell and hurt her leg me day before the sports meeting. It was ten o'clock in the morning. It was 3 for the girls' 800-metre race with two laps (圈). My classmates asked me to run the race. But I'm not a good runner. 4 should I do?

    "Just try!" my teacher said. " 5 in yourself!" my classmates said.

    "OK."

    On the first lap, the girl from Class 2 was in the front. She ran much faster than I did. 6 I did my best to catch up with her in the race.

    "Come on!" When I passed the seats of my classmates. I could 7 them shouting. "Run! Run!"

    I was just running and running. I must catch up with her. At that time l was not far behind her. At the end of the 8 lap, we were neck and neck.

    "Come on! Come on!" I could still hear my classmates shouting.

    "Come on! Come on!" I said to myself too.

    There, the finishing line was right before us. We 9 it at the same time. Both she and I took the third place.

    "Hooray!" the students called out to me. "Well done!"

    But I was too 10 to go any farther and fell to the ground.

    A man died and was on his way to another world, either the Heaven (天堂) or the Heli (地狱). He saw a very beautiful palace halfway and the owner of the palace invited him to stay.

    The man said, "I have been working hard during my life and now I just want to eat and sleep without any 1 " The owner of the palace said, "If so, there is nowhere else 2 than here for you. There is enough delicious food in my palace and you can eat whatever you want. No one will 3 you. You don't need to do anything. "

    4, the man stayed in the palace. In the5, the man felt very happy, eating and sleeping without thinking about other things. But soon he felt a bit lonely and 6. So he went to the owner and said, "It is very boring to live 7 just eating and sleeping every day. Now I have no8 in this kind of life. Could you help me find a job?"

    The owner 9 , "Sorry, there is no job here at all."

    After another several months, the man could not stand(忍受) this kind of life and went to the owner again, "I really could not stand this kind of life any more. If you do not offer me a job, I would like to go to the Hell instead of 10 here. "

    The owner of the palace laughed loudly, "Do you think it is the Heaven here? It is actually the Hell!"

    I'm sure many great people think about how they can make a difference in the world. In fact, sometimes little things can make a really big difference. I learned this 1 one day five years ago with my father, when I was just acting like myself—a nine-year-old kid.

    Papa came home late from work after 9 p.m. and he looked even more tired than usual. His eyes were already half-closed. I followed him to his bedroom. Papa 2 up the stairs, slowly lifting his feet one after the other. I was afraid that I would have to start pushing him. Fortunately, he 3 it to the bedroom on his own.

    Papa sat down on the bed and started removing his shoes and socks. "How was work?" I asked cheerfully.

    "Oh, it was OK," he replied. "It's just that I'm tired." "Oh, um……you want me to leave?"

    Papa gave me a tired 4 that made me more comfortable. I made me feel like he wasn't going to scold me, as he often did when I made some 5.

    "No," he said kindly, "of course I don't want you to leave."

    I opened my mouth and started 6 out the Disney movie Lilo & Stitch. Papa always loved it when I did that, and he started laughing loudly. I was happy that I had made my father laugh so much.

    "Did you like it?" I asked. "Of course I did," he said. "Did you know that 7you make me laugh, you make me feel a lot better?"

    I was  8that I could really do a thing like that.
