Tom worked hard in an office. But it seemed that there was little change in his life. He was unhappy and didn't want to improve himself any more. His father, Joe, knew this and decided to have a talk with 1 .

    One day, Tom and his father went for a walk after dinner. 2 they were walking along a river, Tom said, “Dad, you always tell me to learn something new. To be3, I don't want to make any change.”

    Joe looked in the river, saw a dead 4and pointed at it.

    “Tom, what is that over there?”

    “It's a dead fish.”

    “What's the fish doing?”

    “It's moving down with the running water.”

    “But the fish is dead. 5 can it be moving?” asked Joe.

    “It's moving as the river is moving.”

    Joe turned to his son and said, “Life is 6 the river. It's always moving and always changing. Some people don't want to change, but their life is always changing whether they like it or not. A dead fish only moves along the river, while a living fish can control its journey. What's your choice if you want to live a 7 life?”

    This made Tom 8 his aunt who had already stopped learning and developing. And she just stayed the way she used to be, living like a dead fish.

    Guided by his 9 , Tom understood what he said. He didn't want to become a person like his aunt. So he made up his mind to 10  learning and developing himself.

    One night a man came to my house. He told me. "There is a family with eight 1. They don't have anything to eat." After I asked him where the family was. I took some 2 with me and left.

    When I finally got to that family, I 3 those little children were so hungry that they could not 4 anything. There was no sadness in their eyes, just the deep pain of hunger. I gave the food to the mother. She took half of it, and then went out. When she 5, I asked her, "Where did you go?" She gave me this simple 6, "To my neighbours'. They are also 7!"

    I was not surprised that she gave the food to others, because poor people are always very 8. But I was surprised that she knew her 9 were hungry when she was also in need of food. Usually, when we are in trouble or in danger, we always 10 ourselves first, and we have no time for others.

    When I had something difficult to do, I liked to ask my mother for 1. But she always said, "Do it yourself, dear." I was not happy about this at all. I thought she was the 2mother I had ever seen!

For example, one day, I decided to3some friends to my home. My bedroom was not in order. Books were4, and I didn't make the bed. I asked my mother to help me clean it, but she 5said, "Do it yourself."

    Because of my "lazy mother", I had to6my clothes and clean my room. I had to help my parents do7. I even had to go to the doctor by myself. It was really difficult for me to do a good job, but I have 8 a lot.

    As time goes by, I start to understand my mother. She made 9clever and hard-working. A 10mother is worth 100 teachers! Do you think so?

It's a Sunday morning. Isabella and her best friend William are playing in a park. They are looking for yellow eggs. Their parents tell them the yellow eggs are very difficult to find! They walk here and there, and William finds five white eggs. Isabella finds two blue eggs and four red eggs. But they don't see any yellow ones. Then William walks to some bushes (灌木) to try to find one.

"Hey, look what I find!" William says. He looks happy.

"Do you find a yellow egg?" Isabella asks. She walks over to join William.

"No," says William. "I find something better(更好的)!"

Isabella sees a birds nest (鸟巢) there. They are real eggs! There are three brown eggs in the nest.

Then they look at the eggs, they find the mother bird flies back. Then the two friends leave the bushes happily. They run to tell their parents about the nest.

What a good find!
