    A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband. For many months she had liked a beautiful ring, and knowing her husband could1it, she told him that was all she wanted. On the morning of the birthday, her husband told her how2he was to have such a good wife, and how much he loved her. He gave her a beautiful gift package. She opened it and 3 a Bible(《圣经》).Angrily, she raised her voice and said to her husband, "With all your money, you give me a Bible？”She was so 4 that she left him.

    Many years passed and the lady was very5in business. She owned two large companies. She 6her husband was very old, and thought perhaps she could go to 7him. But before she could, she received a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions(财产)to her. She needed to come back and take care of things.

    When she arrived at his house, sadness filled her heart. She saw the 8 new Bible, just as she had left it years before. With tears in her eyes, she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring9from the Biole to the floor and a card could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words" LOVE YOU ALWAYS".

    10your gift is not packed in the way you want it, it's because it is better packaged in the way it is！Always appreciate little things; they usually lead you to bigger things! The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched for they must be felt with the heart.

I'm Bob. I work at night from Monday to Thursday. So in the daytime (白天), I often sleep for at least 7 hours. Then I get up, have some food and watch TV. I usually watch TV for more than two hours every day. At 7:00 p.m., I go to work by bike.

But on weekends, my life is different. I usually sleep at night and do different activities in the daytime. For example, last weekend was quite full for me. On Saturday morning, I went to learn dance. I have dance lessons once a week. In the afternoon, I went to play basketball with my friends. We played for three hours and felt excited. I thought it was good for my health. On Sunday morning, I drove to the dentist for teeth cleaning. In the afternoon, I went to the movies with my friend, Tom. I thought the movie was interesting, but Tom thought it was difficult to understand (理解).

Eric's father managed an iron shop. He used to help his father1 the work in the shop. 

One day, Eric asked his father, "What's the2 of a person?" Father thought for a while, "Son, it's difficult to judge (判断) the value of any person because his or her value is priceless. "

Eric couldn't understand it, "How come? If the value of a person is priceless, then why some people get less respect while others get3 ?"

His father4 a piece of iron, "What do you think is the price of this iron?" Eric replied, "10 dollars."

Father asked again, "What5 happen if I make small nails (钉子) with it?" Erie said, "Doing this will6 its price, and it will be worth 50 dollars."

Father continued, "What if we use it to make a lot of springs(发条) for watches?" The son answered, "Then we can get more money from it."

Father smiled and said, "So you see, just because we turn the iron into7 different, its value is different, too." After hearing this, Eric felt like he understood what his father said. 

We often make mistakes in considering our value. Seeing our present situation, we start considering8 as valueless and meaningless.9 our value is not in what we are now but in what we can become in the future. So we should always keep improving ourselves10 try to understand our true value. 

Once, there was a small and poor village near the sea. Houses there were made of stone and wood. They were very 1 and could fall down（倒塌） at any time. A young man, named Harriet, lived in a wooden house, with his old 2 . Harriet dreamed of moving to a big city, but 3 never visited any of them.

His friends told him some exciting stories during their stay in cities. This made Harriet bored all summer long 4 he couldn't even go to the nearest city.

One day, Harriet walked into the house 5 and threw（摔） himself into the dirty brown chair. "Are you okay, dear?" His grandma asked. "No!" Harriet shouted. "My friends are taking trips to big 6 , and I'm still here!" Harriet's Grandma got a terrible 7 .

This unhappiness lasted for weeks. One morning, Harriet woke up. He walked outside to look at the sun 8 .

Soon after, his grandma came. "Listen, Harriet." She spoke. "Look at the 9 ," she continued（继续）. "Isn't it beautiful? When you' re in the big cities, you can't see that. Look at the beach, isn't it great? You won't find that in a city, would you?" This made Harriet know how nice life is, and he's 10 to live in a village. Next time, he would like to share the beautiful views with his friends.
