I have a problem. Her name is Luca, We do not see eye to eye.

    Like yesterday, we saw the number 9,999. She said, "All those nines. They feel so.... so purple!?"

    Purple? I saw it as logical and orderly. Not as colours. I think Luca and I live in different universes.

    But we have to do a report on the Statue of Liberty I really doubt if I can work with her.

    At our first meeting on Friday, we come up with a plan. She will make a Statue of Liberty, and I'll write the report. But on Monday, with only one week until our report is due, she tells me she's leaving to visit her great-grandfather for six days, because he's ill. It means that I, the one who can't even draw a stick figure, will have to make the statue. And she, the one who doesn't like to think logically, will have to write the report.

    "Please be at my house at 2:00 on Sunday," I say. I cross my fingers.

    While she's gone, I spend lots of hours making the sculpture according to some directions I find online.

    Sunday at 2:00 arrives, and Luca is late. Finally, I see her skipping down the sideway, carrying only a small piece of equipment.

    "What's that?" I ask." Where's the report?"

    "It's a digital recorder," she says." A report didn't feel right, so I did something else."

    I try to keep my voice calm as I say," But this is not about feelings. I's about the Statue of Liberty. Statues don't have feelings." Our project is due tomorrow. We're doomed.

    "Statues don't have feelings, but my great-grandfather does." Luca says.

    Now I am quite sure that we're from two different universes because I have no idea about what she's talking about.

    "I interviewed him about when he came to America and saw the Statue of Liberty," she continues." Listen." She turns on the recording.

    A scratchy voice comes on." In Hungary, I had no food and hoped to go to America, where I could eat, have a better life. Finally I got on the ship. Then the sunshine started. Oh! There she was, Lady Liberty. Like hope itself All of us cried. All my life, I remember that feeling, of seeing the Lady.""

    Looking at Luca, I think awhile. "You are right. That's what the Statue of Liberty is all about. Who says a report has to be on paper?" I say quietly. And a smile spreads over her face.

    Can you imagine what happens while we are making the presentation the next day? When Luca's great-grandfather says" All my life, I remember that feeling, of seeing the Lady," everyone is staring at our statue, quiet.

My Experiences of Becoming a Singer

Last week, I had a concert in Hangzhou. It. was my fifth concert this year, and I'd like to say thanks to the support from all my fans.

Jeff was a poor farmer and he was short of money. His neighbours were rich and he was jealous(忌妒的) of them. Because of this, he didn't 1 his neighbours. Jeff had a vegetable field to 2 his family. As he grew old, he found it very 3 to work in the field as he had no bull toplow(犁) the field.

One day, Jeff was returning home from the 4 . On his way, he met an old man. Seeing Jeff, the old man said," What's the matter? You seem very sad."

Jeff said," Everyone around me has everything and is rich. If I had a bull, I could 5 plow the field."

The old man gave his bull to Jeff and said," This bull is yours now. Take it home. After reaching home, you must send one of your 6 to me."

Jeff felt surprised and asked," Why do you want to 7 my neighbour?"

The old man said he wanted to give the neighbour two bulls. Hearing this, Jeff was angry." He has everything. If you give two bulls to him, I won't even want this one," he said.

The old man laughed," Do you know what your 8 is? It's not poverty(贫穷) but jealousy. If you were 9 with what you have; you would probably become the happiest person in the world."

At that time, Jeff realized his problem. He 10 that he would never get jealous of others.

When she was just 10 years old, Angela joined in her first piano competition. She never expected she could get something {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (important) than a prize. 

On that day, each {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (perform) had to play a piece of music in front of a large group of people. At first, Angela was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (excite). But when she was about to play, she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (feel) afraid. "What should I do if I forget the notes (音符)? What should I do if I play the wrong notes?" Angela thought. 

As these worries ran through {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (she) mind, a girl finished her performance and walked past her. She did something unexpected. She smiled (微笑) at Angela {#blank#}6{#/blank#} gave her a thumbs-up sign. That made Angela feel encouraged. Then she walked over to the piano and played a piece of music {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (beautiful). 

After the competition, Angela planned {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (thank) the girl, but she couldn't find her. She wanted to say, "Your kind smile played an important role {#blank#}9{#/blank#} my life. I'll take that smile as {#blank#}10{#/blank#} great gift. "

 Have you experienced heavy rain or storms? What was the situation(情况) like? How did you feel?

 Once, there were two women who lived in the same village. They used to grow the same plants in their own gardens. One woman called Lisa was hard-working and took care of her plants every day. The other woman, named Rebecca, didn't do quite as much. She just let her plants grow however they wanted. 

 One evening, there was a big storm with heavy rain. The destruction(毁坏) of many plants was serious. 

 The next morning, when Lisa woke up, she found that all of her plants fell down to the ground because of the rain. However, when she got to Rebecca's garden, she saw that all of the plants were still standing in the garden. Rebecca's plants lived through the storm. 

 How did this happen? The plants of the relaxed woman learned to do things on their own from the very beginning. They grew deeper roots(根) and made places for themselves in the soil(土壤). They could stand up strong on their own, even during a storm. Lisa found out that since she did everything for her plants, they never learned to live through any difficulties. 

 It is the same for us. Sooner or later, you have to let go and become independent. If you just let others do everything for you, you' ll never learn to do things on your own.
