One day, the old man came up with a plan. He called his sons and said to them, "Look, my dear sons: in the land we have at the farmyard, there is lots of hidden gold. If you should work together, you may find it”

  In a wish to find out the gold, his sons worked hard from the morning to the evening digging and digging all through the land. The days had passed, but they didn't find what were they were looking for. They got frustrated and angry. They decided to give up and returned to ask their father.

   “There is no gold in the land. We are cheated.”

“Since the land has been dup soft. Why don't you pant some crops there?”was the reply of the father to the sons.

  Off went the sons. Soon the whole once-useless land was rich crops.

  “This if the real gold, my sons.”Said the now proud father.

    Mr Brown was a dance teacher. He was a nice man and always had a lot of students who came to his classes every week. One year he moved to a new town and taught a lot of students in a dance school there but then he decided to move again to a big city where he would have work.

    When one of the ladies who often came to his classes heard that he was leaving, she said to him, “The teacher who takes your place won't be as good as you are. ”

    Mr Brown was happy when he heard this. He said, "Oh, no! I'm sure he'll be as good as I am, or even better. ”The lady said, "No, five teachers have come and gone since I lived here, and each new one was worse than the last. ”

Anna is now in London. Everything is new to  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . She finds life is different from that in Moscow. Some things are nice in London. However, many things are not so nice. The shops are  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in London than those in Moscow. But it's very expensive to enjoy herself in London. It's expensive to have a meal at a restaurant  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} go to the cinema.

Now Anna has got used to many things. She helps Mrs Black with housework and goes to English classes on Wednesday and Friday afternoons. She enjoys studying with her classmates  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} groups. She expects to go back home with London's culture.

As a child, I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others. I still remember it was an early autumn. Some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father's vest (背心) instead of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. At that time, my size was getting {#blank#}3{#/blank#} than my father's, so when I put on the vest, I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} by my mother, but the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} thinking much. I took off the vest so rudely that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my mother could stop me.

Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father. "See what your son has done," she said. Instead of saying he would punish me, my father {#blank#}7{#/blank#} asked my mother to mend (缝补) the vest.

Later when my mother told me about my father's answer, I felt really sorry. My father's gentle kindness {#blank#}8{#/blank#} me a lesson which I would never forget. 

On that day, I decided not to let the angry feeling {#blank#}9{#/blank#} me any longer. It was hard to do, but I tried. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I get angry, I remember my father's vest. It always reminds me to think about others' feelings.
