Three small fish lived in the sea. When they were very young, their parents died. They had to look after each other day after day. Finally, they grew up and could swim in deep water.

    One morning, a big wave(浪) pushed the three fish to a shallow water. It also pushed a small boat there. It was hard for them to go back to the sea because the boat was right in front of them. The largest fish realized(意识到) that they were in danger, and said they had to find a way to leave there as fast as possible. The second largest fish agreed with his elder brother, but the youngest one did not. He said that there was much time for their activities, so he would not worry at all and still swam happily.

    At last, the largest fish returned to the sea by jumping over the lowest part of the boat. The second largest fish were also successful in joining his elder brother in the other side of water. But the youngest one still swam there happily.

    Two hours later, when the sun came up, the water in the small shallow part dried up(干). The youngest fish died finally.

    On September 19, Alibaba went public (上市) on the New York Stock Exchange(纽约证券交易所). It shows that Ma Yun has done his business successfully. A short Chinese man seems to be the tallest man in the world right now. Ma used to be an English teacher. So far, he has become the richest man on the Chinese mainland.

    Ma was born in Hangzhou and grew up as a happy kid. At the age of twelve, he found that English was very interesting. Every morning he got up at 5 a.m., and then ran to a hotel near the West Lake where he could communicate with foreign tourists in English. He did it for nine years. The experience made him become a fantastic English speaker and also opened his eyes to the wide world. In a 1995 trip to the US, Ma was shown to the Internet for the first time. Seeing the chance, Ma returned to China and set up a website without knowing much about computers. Four years later, Ma set up Alibaba in Hangzhou. People called him “Crazy Jack Ma”. But fifteen years later, Alibaba has developed into the world's largest e-commerce (电子商务) company.

The name of my best friend is Joyce. She cares about me a lot. She always helps me. I met her in Class 6 and became best friend. She is my true friend because she understands me very well and cares about my every need. I like her very much. I never had any friends like her ever before. She comes to my home and I also go to her home. Our parents respect(尊重) us very much and like our friendship. She is so important to me that I never want to lose her. Whenever I get absent(缺席的) from the class, she helps me do all the left homework and classwork. She is similar to me in many ways. She never argues with me. She is an open-minded girl and never feels bad about my misbehaviour. She is very funny and makes me laugh through her interesting jokes and talks in our spare time. She is very cute and attractive. And she draws everyone's attention by her smile. She always encourages me to do better in class and exams. We are good at sports and academic activities. We manage to share things in difficult times. We always perform better in class tests and main exams. 

The Fisherman and the Goldfish is a well-known story. As we all know, the fisherman is a kind old man, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his wife is very greedy.

One day, the old fisherman {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a magical goldfish. In order to live, the fish promised to help to make his dreams come true. His greedy wife told the fisherman to ask for a new house at first, and then a castle. After that she asked to be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} queen of the ocean. The goldfish couldn't stand it. At last, the fisherman and his wife went back to the old house {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. 

We know that the fisherman is a kind but weak-willed person from this story. He listened to his wife all the time and never refused his wife. His wife {#blank#}5{#/blank#} got enough. It's not wrong to dream a good life, but you will get nothing if you are too greedy. That's why most greedy people are always poor.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith have a food store in our town. When people go to their store, they' re polite (有礼貌的) and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to them. So, they have many friends and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} friends often go to their store to buy things or just to talk with them. 

It was a Saturday evening. At dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Smith talked about the next days mountain trip. For the trip, they needed to get up {#blank#}3{#/blank#} than before to catch (赶上) the train in the morning. After dinner, they started cooking some food for the trip. At that time, a few friends came to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} them. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had to stop to talk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them. They talked for a long time. Mrs. Smith looked at the clock and it was eleven. Mrs. Smith was anxious(焦虑的){#blank#}6{#/blank#}  it wasn't polite to ask them to leave. She thought for a few minutes and got an {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. She said to Mr. Smith" Oh, it's 11 p. m. ! You need to stop {#blank#}8{#/blank#} right now, dear! Our friends are anxious to go home. Mr. Smith heard this and said sorry to their friends. Their friends knew it was too late and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} soon. 

It's important to be polite to our friends, but it's also {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to say no to them in a smart way. Do you think so
