One day when Jack was walking in the park, he saw a woman, who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench(长凳) with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman.

    Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed.

    "That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing(指着) at the animal.

    "Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture(杂交品种), but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy."

    "And hungry," Jack said. "He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him."

    "That's true," Sue said. "But I haven't."

    They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite?"

    "No," Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly."

    Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him.

    "Hey!" Jack shouted. "You said your dog didn't bite."

    Sue answered in surprise, "Yeah, I did. But this is not my dog. Mine's at home."

On a Friday night, a poor young violinist was playing his violin at the entrance of the subway station. He played such great music that people slowed down to l{#blank#}1{#/blank#} and put some money into his hat. 

The next day, the violinist came to the entrance again. He put down his hat as usual. Beside the hat was a piece of paper with some w{#blank#}2{#/blank#} on it. It said, "A George Sang has put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Welcome to claim (认领) it. " Soon the people were all attracted by the words and wondered w{#blank#}3{#/blank#} it could be. After a while a man rushed through the crowd, took the violinist's shoulders and said, "I knew you would certainly come here. " The violinist asked, "Did you l{#blank#}4{#/blank#} anything?" "Lottery (彩票). " The violinist took out a lottery ticket with Sang's name on it. Sang took it and danced happily. 

Sang was an office worker. He bought the lottery and w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} a prize of ＄500, 000. But when he gave ＄50 to the violinist for his wonderful music, the lottery ticket was thrown in, too. The violinist was a college student. That morning, he was going to fly to Vienna for high-education. However, when he f{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the ticket, he put off the flight and went back to the entrance. 

Later someone asked the violinist why he didn't take the lottery ticket to pay for his high education. He said, "Although I don't have much money, I live h{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. If I lose honesty, I won't be happy forever. "

 Once upon a time, many frogs lived in a pond. There was a king among them. One day, the king frog decided to have a competition." There is a tree near the pond. Whoever climbs to the top of this tree will be the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (win)." he said.

 All the frogs were excited {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) part in the competition. As soon as it started, they began climbing one by one. But many frogs fell down. Some frogs felt sad {#blank#}3{#/blank#} stopped climbing. And some continued. Those who didn't try said," No one can do it. It's impossible." Some frogs heard this, and they {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lose) hope and stopped trying, too. But one frog didn't give up. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (successful) climbed to the top after some tries. All the other frogs were quite {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (surprise). They all wanted to know how he was able to do it.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#} frog who won the competition told them he was deaf and couldn't hear anything. He thought the frogs below were cheering {#blank#}8{#/blank#} him, saying," You can do it." The kind words made him try harder, and finally he could climb to the top.

 This story teaches {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (we)a lesson. We should stick to our {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (goal) instead of listening to negative(消极的) words from others, and then work harder to achieve them.

When I was a young teacher, my first teaching job was in a village in the far north of Canada. There were no roads. You had to take a 1  to fly into the village. I was quite 2 about this new job. I couldn't sleep well. But I packed( 打包) my bags and headed north for my adventure.

In autumn, when I 3 there, the weather was fine. The 4 shone and the days were clear. But all of that was soon to change. In late October, the season changed suddenly. One morning, I awoke and it was winter. In winter, it is very 5 in Canada's north. It snows a lot, too. One winter day, it started to snow really, really6 . The wind blew. And the snow did not stop. It snowed for a whole day. It snowed all night, too.

On the morning of the third day, the snow finally stopped coming down. I7 and looked out of my window. The students looked out of their windows too. They could not see their school."Our school has disappeared( 消失)." they cried. All they could see was a world8 white snow everywhere. The snow covered the school completely. It was more than 8 metres high. It was amazing! But not everyone was surprised. "It happens every year," said the school principal(校长)，"This is Canada. This is how we get to school in the far north."

Of course, there was no school that day. The people in the village came and helped the guard dig out the snow. It9 three days to uncover the school! The kids enjoyed their days off. But they were glad to get back to10 finally.
