John and Bobby joined the same company together just after they completed their university studies the same year. Both of them worked very hard. Several years later, however, the boss promoted(提拔) Bobby to manager but John was still a worker. John could not take it, and gave his resignation(辞呈) to the boss. He complained that the boss did not think much of those who were hard- working, but promoted only those who flattered(奉承) him.

    The boss knew that John had worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said," Thank you for what you said, but I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave."

    John agreed the boss asked him to go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found a man selling watermelons. The boss asked how much they cost every kilogram. John shook his head and went back to the seller to ask and returned to tell the boss $1.2 every kilogram,

    The boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelons in the market. Bobby went and returned, saying. Boss, only one person is selling watermelons. $1.2 every kilogram, and $10 for 10 kilograms. The seller has 340 melons. On the table there are 58 melons, and every melon weighs about 2 kilograms. They were brought from the South two days ago. They are of good quality.

    Hearing what Bobby said, John realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided to stay and learn from Bobby.

    The relationship(关系) between teachers and students is an important part of school life. An Indian movie called Hichki tells the story of a teacher who helps some bad students and makes them better people. It is popular with lots of students now.

In Hichki, the main character is Naina Mathur. She has an illness(疾病) that makes her hiccup(打嗝) often. With her hard work, she gets her dream job as a teacher. But she has to teach a class of rebellious students. They laugh at Mathur in her first class.
    However, Mathur doesn't get angry(生气) with them. She tries her best to help every student. When they cause a small explosion (爆炸) and the school asks them to leave, Mathur still help them a lot. Little by little, Mathur wins the students' hearts. Under her care, the students start to study harder and become better and better.

    From the story, we know that a good teacher doesn't simply pass on knowledge(知识), but shows students how to be a good person. It also shows us that anyone can be successful, even if they have some kind of illness.

My mother only has one eye. I don't want her to show up (出现)at my school.

One day I am ill. My mother comes. "Your mom only has one eye!" yell some of my classmates. I wish my mother will disappear(消失).

"If you embarrass(使——尴尬) me, why don't you just die?" I shout at her. My mother is very sad, she just hands me some medicine and leaves(离开) without saying anything.

I don't think I hurt her feeling very much. I see my mom crying(哭) in her room. Even so, I hate her tears from one eye. I make a decision：I must study hard and leave my mother.

Years later my dream comes true. I am quite successful(成功的) but I don't go to see my "ugly" mother. One day I get a letter from my mother.

"My son I am sorry I only have one eye. When you are two years old, you are ill and lost your eye. As a mom, I can't let you live with only one eye. So I give you my eye. I am not angry with you and I never regret(后悔) it because I love you." I cry aloud. How beautiful my mother is!

I' ve never been late for school, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} this morning I came very close. When I got out of home, the early bus had left away just in front of me. Seeing the gone bus, I ran after  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} at once, hoping to catch it. At {#blank#}3{#/blank#} same time, I shouted" Wait! Wait!", but the bus didn't stop— it was clear that the bus driver didn't hear me. Realizing that I might be late for school, I became really worried. Time went by and you could imagine (想象) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} sad I was! A moment later, there came another bus. It was a" wrong" bus. I had no {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( choose) but to get on it because they were in the same direction. I asked the driver if he could drive faster and help me to catch the front bus which I missed just now. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my surprise, the kind driver agreed and said he would have a try. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( luck), the front bus had a stop halfway {#blank#}8{#/blank#} some passengers wanted to get off. The two buses met finally. . . I happily thanked the bus driver and jumped down from the bus as {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( quick) as possible. I made it! What a(n) {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( usual) and tiring bus ride!

 Dear Tom, 

 How are you? I'm in a new school this term. And I am writing to tell you some{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(信息) about my school. 

 My new school is big and nice. There are nine {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(年级), 1, 400 students and 140 teachers in our school. My math teacher is a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}('hænsəm/) man. He is very nice to us. My classmates are really friendly too. We play {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(/tə' geðə(r)/) every day. They teach me Chinese and I teach them English. 

 Look! This is our classroom. It's big and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(/'taIdi/). You can see a map on the wall. You can also find something {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(其他的) in the classroom, such as the bookcase. Behind my school there is a small river, and we often do some {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(活动) by the river and have a great {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(乐趣). 

 We have no classes on Saturdays or Sundays. Sometimes I go to play {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(/'tenIs/) with my classmates. Sometimes I stay at home and play the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(/gI'tɑː(r)/). We all like China. 

 Please write to me soon!

Yours, 

Jack
