Tim is a 16-year-old boy who studies in a high school .His parents tell him to study hard and they do everything for him. They wake him up at 6:00 a.m. and after breakfast his father takes him to school by car. As soon as the young man comes home from school, the supper is ready. Of course, he never does chores(杂物). Once, Tim's father would go to London on business for a year. Before leaving, he told his wife to look after their son well. The woman had to get up earlier and did all what her husband did before. Two months later, she was so tired that she was ill. The young man got into trouble at once. He couldn't do housework. He didn't know where to get on the bus.

     Yesterday Tim's mother found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair. But he didn't know how to choose right shoes. The woman had a sigh(叹息）,gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样)and told him to buy shoes himself. With a policeman's help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper brought some shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What's the matter?”

“I'm sorry. I've left my shoe pattern at home.”

My day at school yesterday was a nightmare! I overslept because I had gone to bed late and forgotten to set my alarm o'clock. When I woke up，I got a terrible{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. It was ten o'clock! I put on my uniform and ran to school.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}，while I was running，I slipped and fell into a muddy puddle （泥坑）. 

After I arrived at school，I apologized to my teacher，Miss Evans. She told me to go to the boys' toilets to clean myself up. When I was there{#blank#}3{#/blank#}，the headmaster walked in and saw me holding the cigarette. He called my parents and told them that I had been caught{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. 

My bad luck didn't stop during the lunch break. I was playing football with some friends when suddenly I hit the ball really far. It flew over the sports field and broke a classroom window. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}，yesterday was the worst day that I've ever had at school. I'm going to bed earlier，remember to set my alarm o'clock，and be more careful. 

Once a traveler wanted to go across desert. He had walked in the desert for three days without any water. He was exhausted (筋疲力尽的) from walking. When he felt hopeless, he suddenly found a small house. He pulled his tired body inside. This was a small airless house and in the corner he discovered a water pump (抽水机) . 

He was so excited and went forward to draw (抽取) water, but no water came out no matter how hard he tried. Too tired to do anything more, he fell to the ground. Then he saw a small bottle. On the bottle was a note, which read. "You must pour the water from the bottle into the pump before you draw water! Don't forget, before you leave, refill the bottle with water!" He opened the bottle and found it was filled with water! He was so happy. 

At that moment he thought, "It might be a little selfish (自私的) , but as long as I drink the water in the bottle, I can be sure to leave this room alive! However, if I do as the note says and pour the only water into the pump and no water comes out, I will die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?" It was five minutes later that he chose to pour the only water into the pump and began to draw water. After a minute, water started to come out He made the right choice. 

After he had drunk enough water, he refilled the bottle. He added the following words after the note: Before you get something, you should first learn to pay. 

I'm Leo. There is a great artist in my family. She is Lisa. Lisa is only 6, she is cute and she likes drawing a lot. Here are her drawings.

There is an animal in the first drawing. It has two big eyes, a big mouth and two small ears. It has long arms and long legs. It is black and white. There are some apples in its hands. It looks very happy. Lisa says it is a panda.

There is a woman in the second drawing. She is thin. She is wearing a red dress. She has straight blonde hair, a small mouth, a big nose and two big eyes. She looks angry. Who is she? Lisa says she is our mom. But Mom has curly blonde hair, small eyes and a small nose.

There is an animal in the last drawing, too. Its head is an apple. Its hair is black. It has a long mouth, and it is a banana. Its two legs are carrots. What is it? Lisa says it is a horse, but it doesn't look like a horse at all.
