When I was in Grade Three, I was chosen to play the lead role in the school play.

    For weeks my mother helped me1my lines (台词), but once on stage, every word disappeared2my head. Then my teacher asked me to change3 and be the narrator.

    Although I didn't tell my 4what had happened that day, she5my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.

    It was a lovely6day.  It was warm.  In the yard all the flowers came out. We could see lots of dandelions (蒲公英) dancing among the colorful flowers.  How beautiful they were! I watched my mother carelessly bend down by some flowers.  "I think I am going to7all the useless grass." She said.

    "But I like dandelions," I said, "All flowers are 8 —even dandelions".

    My mother looked at me9"Yes, every flower shines in its own way, doesn't it?" she said. I nodded. "So that is10of people, too." She added.

    She had guessed my11 I started to cry and told her the truth.

    "You will be a great narrator." She said. Then she told me 12I loved to read stories to her when I was in Grade One.

    Over the next few13I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally14.A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me.  "Your mother asked me to give this to you," she said, passing me a dandelion.  After the play, I took the flower home, laughing that I was perhaps15 person who would keep such a common dandelion.

    My name is Philippe and my wife's name is Sophie. We're from1. Recently we were faced with a 2situation while traveling by car in the mountains with our hired driver. Just as we began to doze(打盹), the car made a strange, loud noise and then3working.

    We tried communicating with the driver but with little4because he couldn't speak French. He tried to tell us with body language that he was going to get help and then he left.

    We were in a poor area, with 5houses in sight. We started to bear the cries of wild animals Sophie was very afraid. We didn't have much food and it was getting 6and darker I began to lose7. Should we leave the car? Would our driver ever8? Was he a trustworthy man? We were very worried.

A couple of hours passed. 9, the headlights from another car appeared in the dark. A man got out of the car. Finding us cold and hungry, he kindly asked us to10his car.

11we left, he put a note on the windshield of the car with his phone number on it. Then he drove us to a nearby village, and we met his family. His cousin spoke French and he 12us tea and local foods. 13asked us questions and they were excited to have unexpected guests.

    Later that evening, the phone rang. It was our14. He had kept his word and fixed the car.

    I will15forget the warmth we received on that day because we depended on a complete stranger for help.

"Let's go on a horse instead of by bicycle," said Bob. And he took two of his friends into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing. 

In the afternoon when they were about ten kilometers from their camp（营地）, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads. One road went to the camp, and the other went to his house. But all was white snow on the ground. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the camp? 

Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty-five kilometers in such cold weather! 

It was getting late. They rode on and on. At last the horses stopped. Where were they? None of them could tell. Bob looked around. What was that under the tree? It was one of their tents! 

Li Hua：Lily，welcome to Chengdu!Did you watch the opening ceremony（开幕式） of the 31^st Chengdu FISU World University Games on July 28th？

When I was about 12, I went to a restaurant for dinner with my family at night one day. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} When my mom and I walked to the restaurant from our car, a girl about the same age as me and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change (多余的零钱) . My mom immediately asked where they kept their things. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. 

After giving them a few dollars, we said goodbye. My mom said she had something to do. Then, she sent me inside the restaurant with my dad. But she didn't come. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} She said she had gone home and brought some food and clothes to the girl. I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that we were lucky and that the girl's family wasn't. I remembered that girl. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I dressed in almost new clothes but her clothes were so old. And I had my bedroom but she had to stay in an old car with 5 other people. "My mom really did the right thing," I thought to myself.

Hello, everyone. My name is John White. I'm a middle school student. I like soccer very much（非常）. I play soccer after school every day. My father likes it, too. He plays soccer very well. I like playing soccer with my father very much. We have five soccer balls. But my mother and my sister don't like soccer. So they don't play soccer. They only watch TV at home. They think watching TV is very interesting.
