    One night in November, Itzhak Perlman gave a concert in a theatre. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that becoming a violinist is not a small 1 for him. He had to walk 2 the help of two walking sticks as a result of the disease he caught as a child. People sat 3 while he made his way to his chair and began his play. But this time, something went 4 Just as he finished the first few parts of the music, one of the strings(弦) on his violin 5 . We thought that he would have to stop the concert. But he didn't. Instead , he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then 6 the conductor (指挥) to begin again. The orchestra(管弦乐队) began and he played with such strong feeling and purity as they had never heard before.

    Of course, everyone knows that it is 7 for a violinist to play a pleasant work with just three strings. I know that, and you know that, but that night Itzhak Perlman didn't want to accept that.

    When he finished, there was a terrible 8 in the room. And then people rose and cheered from every corner of the theatre.

    Perlman was excited. He smiled and said, "You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to 9 how much music you can still make with what you have left."

    So, suppose our task in this fast-changing world is to make music. At first we should try our best with all that we have. And then, 10 it is no longer possible, try to play it with what we have left.

A young man with a large bag on his back came far away for a master(大师). He said, "Master, I feel so lonely(孤独的) and painful that the long trip makes me tired out. My shoes are worn out, my feet are cut, and my hands also hurt… Why can't my heart feel sunny?"

The master asked, "What do you put in your large bag?"

The young man said,"It is very important to me. Inside it I put the pain each time I fall, the tears(眼泪) each time I'm hurt, the trouble each time I feel lonely…Without it, I can't come here."

Then the master took the young man to the river where they crossed in a boat. On the other side of the river, the master said,'"Carry on with your journey, carrying the boat!"

"What? Carry the boat?" the young man was surprised. "It is so heavy. How can I carry it?"

"Yes, my kid. You can't carry it," the master just smiled and said. "When you cross the river, the boat is useful. But after crossing it, you will put down the boat and carry on. If not, it will become a burden (负 担). Pain, loneliness and tears — all these are useful to life. They can improve your life, but if you carry them all the time, they will become the burden to life. Put it down! Life can't bear(承受) a heavy burden."

The young man put down his bag and carried on. He walked easily and happily, and much faster than before.

A 5-year-old boy named Jack did something surprising. He set up a lemonade stand to help the people hit by the big fires in Maui, Hawaii.

 Hearing his parents talking about the fires on the news, Jack felt really sad. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . He got the idea of starting a lemonade stand and giving all the money to the people who lost their homes in the fires.

 His mum, Polly, thought Jack might raise at most $100. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . The stand raised$8,000 in just one day! Lemonade sold for one dollar each cup, but most people gave much more.

 Only in a week, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} , which was far more than they expected. Jack was very happy. He gave all the money to the Maui Community Fund to help the people who needed it. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} .

What do you think of Jack? Why?(不超过15词) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

I like English and I'm good at English. Especially, I'm good at {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Do you know how I can make it? I do it by keeping a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in English. Everyday, after {#blank#}3{#/blank#} homework and before going to bed, I think about what I mainly do {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the day at school. And I also think about what I learnt at school. Then I choose something most {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to write down. Day by day, my English is getting better and better. 

I am sitting in an empty football field after my last high school football game that finished a few hours ago. I'm the midfield player(中场球员) in my team. But in fact that's not 1 now.  I was the midfield player because, as I said, this was my 2 game. That's a good way to end  a high school football career(生涯), especially if you win, but even though you don't, it's good to 3 at a high point.

I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad 4 football, and he used to practice with me at home-passing, catching, running. We used to 5 almost every evening until it got too dark. He tried to teach me 6 he knew about the game. "Just remember: Don't ever 7 .""Stay in the game. Don't lose your concentration(专注).""Go out there and give 110 percent every time." Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words 8 in my ears.

I had a lot in my mind before the game today. I don't like things to 9 ,I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and 10 myself about what to do and not to do. I didn't sleep at all yesterday, and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where11 just wanted it all to be over. But then when the game started, my mind became empty.

I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn't 12 the crowd;I didn't feel the cold or the pain;I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the ball, and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light 13 me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty 14 .

 It's all over now, and it's really getting cold here. It's starting to snow. The sun's almost gone, and I 15 see the goal. Now it's dark and I'm sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye and move on.
