Years ago, when Dad moved to the USA, I had to go to school in New York. I was worried.  How could I, an eight-year-old girl from 1, make friends in America?

    On my first day at Anna Silver School, I met Miss Green, my class 2. She spoke to me slowly and 3 to get me used to her American accent. When she discovered that I 4 drawing, she encouraged me a lot. Miss Green made sure that I could fit into her class easily, and before I knew it, I was already having 5 fun, just as other schoolgirls could.

    When Dad was sent back to India, I had to6 Anna Silver School.  I was 7 again Miss Green had planned to take us students for a 8 trip, but I had to say goodbye to them now.  So, with a 9 heart, I left my school and the USA.  Back in India, I received a package one day.  It was 10 Miss Green and my 24 classmates. They had written me a letter each, 11 me about the fishing trip. Miss Green said she 12 me very much. With her good wishes, she added, "Keep up with your drawing 13 you love it so much."

    I'm very 14 to Miss Green. She not only made a shy little 15 feel at home in a faraway country, but also taught me and my classmates to understand the importance of being kind to others at an early age.

      Each morning a rich man found a poor man sitting on a park bench（凳）．The poor man always 1there, looking at the big   2  in which the rich man lived. One day the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, “Excuse me, but I just want to know 3 you sit here and look at my hotel    4 ”.“Sir ,” said the poor man, “I am a failure. I have no money, no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I'll sleep in that hotel.”

      The rich man said, “Tonight your dream will  5  . I will pay for the   6  room in that hotel for you   7  a whole month.”

      A few days later, the rich man  8 the poor man's room to ask him if he was enjoying  9  .To his  10 , he found that the man had moved out of the hotel, back to his   11 .When the rich man asked why, the poor man said, “You see,   12    I'm down here sleeping on my bench, I dream I'm up there , in that big hotel. It's a    13 dream. But when I was  14  there, I dreamed I was back to this cold bench. It was a terrible dream , and I   15  get any sleep at all.”

    During the Warring States Period (475-22IBC), there was a man called Yue Yangzi. One day he saw a piece of gold on the road. He picked it up and 1 it home. But his wife was not 2 and said, "I hear that a great man doesn't drink a thief's water or accept alms(施舍物) .What do you think of the action of keeping others' thing for yourself?" Yue Yangzi felt sorry 3 what he had done, so he put the gold back to the place where he found it.

    The next year, Yue Yangzi decided to go to a faraway school to improve himself. A year later, he came back home 4. "Why have you returned?" asked his wife in surprise, "You've 5spent one year studying with scholars (学者们)." "I come back because I 6you very much."

    Without saying anything, his wife took a pair of scissors and went to the loom(织布机)at which she had worked. 7 the half done cloth, she said, "The cloth is woven from the best silk. Now 8 I cut it ,all my previous（先前的）work will be wasted. It's the same as your 9.You can learn a lot only by working hard. Now, you've stopped half way. Isn't it the same as cutting the cloth on the loom?"

    Yue Yangzi was moved by 10she said. He again left home to visit scholars. Several years later he became a learned man.

In 1937, my father, who was almost 20 years old, started a long journey. He traveled a thousand miles across China with his university, Zhejiang University, during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression(抗日战争). The Chinese government wanted to keep the university students safe because they were important for the country's future. As the university planned for the journey, the Head Librarian of Zhejiang Library, asked the university to take a valuable collection of books with them.

The books were called" Siku Quanshu". Created in the 18th century, this was a huge encyclopedia(百科全书) with 2.3 million pages and about 997 million words. It was so important that plans were made to protect it at any cost, even though it added another 230 boxes to the students' cargo.

The journey was not easy. Students and teachers were facing the dangers from air attacks.(空袭). They were always tired and hungry. They had to sleep on the ground in old temples(寺庙) but they continued their classes whenever they could. To protect the books, they tried to move by boat or truck whenever possible; at other times, they would put the boxes into carts(手推车). Sometimes the students had to carry some of the books in their backpacks. One scary moment was when a box of the Siku Quanshu books fell into a river. They quickly saved the books and dried them in a local temple.

After 1,400 miles and 28 months on the road, the university group finally reached a small town called Zunyi in Guizhou province. They stayed there in simple classrooms and dorms, until the war moved deeper into China. To further protect the Siku Quanshu, the books were hidden in a nearby cave, guarded by university staff. The books made it through the war in surprisingly good condition and were sent back to Zhejiang Library.

This amazing story shows how a group of young students and their teachers did everything they could to protect their culture's treasures. They faced many dangers and hardships, but they never gave up. They worked together to keep their knowledge safe.

There was a famous scientist who made several important discoveries. One day he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (ask) how he was able to be so creative. He{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(reply) that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 2 years old. He was trying to make a bottle of milk out of the fridge. But {#blank#}3{#/blank#} bottle was too slippery (滑的) and he dropped it. The kitchen floor was covered with milk. 

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (shout) at him or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in the milk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a few minutes before we clean it up?"

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} he did. A few minutes later, they cleaned it up together. Then his mother said, "This was a failed experiment on how to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the backyard and practise with the bottle full of water to make sure the floor wouldn't {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (cover) with milk next time. "

The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(边沿) with both hands, he could carry it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success). What a wonderful lesson!

The scientist then added that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mistake). He learned that they are just opportunities (机 会) to learn something in a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) and faster way, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn't work, we can still learn something valuable from it.
