    A few days ago, I walked into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him, and we were very polite. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.

    Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. "Get out of the way!" I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.

    That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, "You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you'll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself, pink, yellow, and your favourite blue."

    When I heard this, I thought deeply, "While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient (耐心的). I felt sad and tears began to fall.

    I quietly went to Betty's bed, "Wake up, my dear," I said, "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She smiled, "I found them by the tree. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue. " I said, "I am so sorry that I treated (对待) you that way today. " And she whispered (悄声说), "Mommy, that's okay. I still love you anyway. " I kissed her and said, "I love you too and I do love the flowers. "

    That day Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn't realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.

Once, Einstein gave a lecture in a university. After his speech, the audience started asking questions.

A girl asked, "Do you think you're1 giant of science?" Einstein said 2 a smile. "A giant is a person who is tall in height. You see I'm so small, How can I be a giant? Maybe I see a bit farther, only 3 I stand higher!" Then a boy asked. "You mentioned you stand higher than 4 . It reminded me that you had a talk with a lady on the top of the Alps. I don't want to ask 5 you talked about, but I want to know whether you realized you had been a top in the history of science when you stood on the top."

Looking at the boy6 , Einstein replied, "Well,7 height cannot become a top. And there is no top that no one can get to, so we don't want to be a top, but we want to be a person to climb to the top!" Then he took up a piece of chalk and 8 on the blackboard, "Standing on the top, you are not tall, but even smaller!" Then he said, "Though I stand high, in the eyes of the world I'm still small! Finally, I can tell you a sentence, which was the last one I 9 the lady on the top of the Alps, ‘Any top can be reached, for there is no giant in the world but the one 10 stands higher!'"

A storm of applause sounded. The lady who listened to Einstein's instruction on the Alps that year was no other than Madam Curie!

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? You may think of Confucius (孔子). September 28th was his birthday. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people today still remember and 1 him.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had  a 2 childhood. His father died when he was only 3, so he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius never 3 studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

He was talented and learned 4 , so he started the first public school in China when he was thirty. At that time only children from 5 families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone could go to school 6 they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still study Confucius' lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned." When I am with three people, one of them must be 7 than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them." He also taught us that8 is very important in study." All study but no thinking makes people puzzled(困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy."

Confucius is famous 9 his wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about strictness and good 10 ."A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others." He said.
