Today is June 4th it's 1 fine day. It is Betty's birthday. She comes 2 and sees a new red box on her bed. She opens 3. There is nothing but a piece of paper 4 it! Betty takes it out and 5: “Dear Betty. I'm your present(礼物). Come and 6 me in the front room.” Betty runs 7 front room. She finds her parents there. They look at her happily. She looks round and sees her present — a nice 8 bike. “Happy birthday. Betty.” Her parents both 9. Betty is very happy and says: “10 very much.”

    In July 1969, Nei Armstrong became the first 1 to walk on the moon. People all around the world watched their televisions and 2 the spaceship to 3the earth. We have now discovered a lot more about our Solar system, and we have sent news to Mars, but no one has walked on that planet 4. But I believe that one day 5will.

    Jeff is fifteen now, but he's still in Grade One. He likes playing1, he often plays it with his friends, but he does not like to use his head. He does not listen to his2in class, so he can not do his homework. His teachers don't like him. They tell his parents3it, and they do not know what to do.

    It's Sunday today. Jeff gets up4in the morning. After breakfast, his mother tells him to do his homework. He goes to his bedroom.5his mother is busy with her housework, Jeff goes out with a ball. Now it's time for lunch, but she can't 6Jeff.

    Ann is a newspaper reporter. She chose this1so she could travel around the world. The work has taught her many unforgettable (令人难忘的) lessons. She has seen wars, earthquakes and death. But she has 2 seen courage, hope and happiness.

    Last year, she won an award for her reporting in Africa. She was very proud 3 it. At first, she thought she got the award because of her good work. But then she realized that she should thank many other people for 4 help.

    Ann was born in Jamaica. Her family was not poor, but it was not 5 , either. Her parents had to 6 hard so that she could go to school. At school, Ann was not a good student, 7 she enjoyed writing because her English teacher said, "Ann, you are a wonderful 8 " The teacher encouraged her all the time.

    Later, Ann went to university in Canada and then 9 a job. It was very difficult. Then, one day, she went to see the editor of a newspaper in Ottawa. The editor gave her a job. "Everyone needs a 10 at first." he said.

    It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain 1almost a month. The crops were dying. If we 2see some rain soon, we would lose everything

    I was making lunch in the kitchen when I saw my3 son, Billy, walking towards the woods. He was walking with a great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes later, he was once again walking towards the woods. I 4 stand it any longer. I went out of the house and followed him.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill (溢出）the water he carried.As I came closer, I saw5 sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked straight up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. But the deer 6 hurt him nor even moved as Billy got down. And then I saw a baby deer7 on the ground, thirsty, lift its head to lap up(舔) the water in my boy's hands. When the water was gone, Billy jumped up to run back to the house. I followed him back to a tap. Billy opened it and let the drip slowly fill up his "cup".8he stood up and began to turn back, I was there in front of him. His little eyes9 with tears. Very quickly, he explained 10he was not wasting water. The week before, he had made 11 same trouble with our horses,12 caused him a lecture from his father about the importance of not wasting water.

    This time, I joined him, with a small pot of water from the kitchen. I let him 13 the baby deer alone , for it was 14job. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they15by other drops... more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky. All I can say is that the rain came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved the little deer.

    Then came7 knock. The woodcutter told the stranger, “Friend, open the door.” And the man said, “But there is no space.” The woodcutter said, “8 three people can sit 9 four people can sit a little10”.

    The stranger opened the door, and a man entered. Suddenly, a strange knock11did not seem to be human's was heard! The woodcutter said, “Open the door. I know who12. It is my donkey.” Everyone said, “13is the donkey going to stand?” The man said 14 all stand when the donkey15 in.
