Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends．They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain．So they can help each other．But neither of them likes to use his head．They're both poor though they work hard．Most villagers have built new houses，but they still live in the low and broken houses．They never find out why．

    Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife．In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive．He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back．They decided to carry some apples to the city．They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1，000kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor．Bad luck!A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived．A few days later they had to sell them at a low price （价格）．They felt unhappy and returned to their village．

    "I can't understand why we sustained （蒙受） losses in business while others always profit （盈利）"Uncle Li asked one day．

    "The tractor was too small"Uncle Wang said without thinking．"We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!"

    "I agree!"said Uncle Li．"How foolish （傻的） we were!"

    When he didn't become famous, Albert Einstein, one of the greatest scientists in the world, lived a hard life, wearing casually. Someone reminded him he should have a decent(得体的) coat so as to enter the society.

    He said, "I'm unknown. Even if I wear more handsomely, no one will know me. "A few years later, Einstein became a world-famous scientist, who still wore casually. The man again reminded he should have a coat made quickly, or it would disagree with the fame of a great scientist. Einstein said with a smile, "Now, even if I wear ragged(衣衫褴褛的)clothes, people will know me."

    Sometimes, he even wore a sports shirt and a pair of sandals to the University of Berlin when he worked as a professor in Germany. His friends didn't agree with him, but he said jokingly, "If the bag is better than the meat inside, it will be a bad thing."

    Indeed, many a time, if we don't adorn(修饰;装饰) ourselves from the appearance but let the skeleton(骨架;骨骼) of the spirit stand up, we won't fall over in this world.

It was Mother's Daylast year and I was doing my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (shop) at the localsupermarket with my five-year-old son, Johnson. As we were leaving, we saw {#blank#}2{#/blank#} old woman fall downand hit her head on the ground. Her husband tried to look {#blank#}3{#/blank#} her, but there wasblood (血) everywhere.

Seeing this, Johnsonbecame very sad about what happened {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the old woman. At the front ofthe supermarket, a man was selling {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (flower) . Johnson suggestedthat we should buy the old woman a flower. "It will make her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feel) better,"he said. I was glad that he'd come up with such a sweet idea. So we walkedtowards the flower seller and bought one.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#}we walked up to her, my sonbecame scared by the blood. Instead I gave the flower to the husband and toldhim," "My son is sad to see what happened to your wife and wants {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (buy) this flowerto make her calm. "

The old man {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cry) and said, "Thankyou very much. You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day. "The man thengave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Although she was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (bad) hurt, the oldwoman looked up at Johnson with love in her eyes.

One early morning, I woke up by a telephone call. It was from a taxi driver. He told me he had my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（friend）cell phone（手机）.My friend Michael {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（leave）it in the taxi the night before. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} driver called others, but I was the first one to answer his call.

It was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a rainy morning. For taxi drivers in this big city, it's the best time{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（make）money. He asked me where he could drop the cell phone off. I told {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（he）the street where I lived. Then I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（quick）jumped out of bed and got dressed, so I could meet him at the corner.

When he arrived, I thanked him. And I was even {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（happy）than my friend. He moved to this country a few weeks ago— and I could only imagine（设想）how important his cell phone was to him!

I asked the taxi driver for his name, so my friend could thank him. He said my {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（thank）were all that he needed. Then he drove off.

I e-mailed my friend telling him I had his phone. In the evening, he came to my home and I told him {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I got it. My friend was very excited to get back his cell phone. He said he would help others as much as possible.
