A funny thing happened to my sister Tina last month. She lives in Japan and teaches English. In Japan, people don't usually wear their outdoor shoes in the house or in school, and a lot of buildings have places for shoes. So her school has a special place for shoes. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Tina teaches English in the evening. One Friday, she went to school, and she put her shoes in the shoe box as usual. Then she had an interesting spoken English class with her students. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} But to her surprise, her shoes weren't in the box. There was only one pair of those there, and they weren't her shoes! She had to get home in a hurry. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
On Monday, at her next English class, her shoes were in a shopping bag on her desk! There was a note that said, “I'm so sorry. I took your shoes by mistake!” {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Somebody felt a lot of shame!

    I was travelling alone through the UK. To reach places that were off the public transportation map, I bought an old car, which cost most of my money. I couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, so I had to camp in my car for the rest of the trip.

    One morning I woke up in my old car on a country road in Ireland and saw a single house, The water in my thermos(保温瓶) had gone cold, so I knocked on the door of the house. A woman opened it. I asked her for some hot water. But she wouldn't let me get away with just that! I was invited indoors. She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family. They filled my thermos before I left.

    I was greatly moved. And I decided to pass the kindness on. The other day I met a young man who had been driving around to look for a parking lot. He looked increasingly upset. I was glad that I was able to point one out to him. His thankful smile was the hugest reward(奖赏) for me.

Once upon a time there was a little boy whose name was Hood，and he always wore a1 coat with a hood. Other children always laughed at him and called him" Red Ring Hood(小红帽)". 

One day Hood's grandmother had a2 and his mother asked him to take lunch for her. "All right," he said to his mother, "but do I need to wear my coat today? It's quite 3 ."

"Of course you need, son," said his mother. "You never know, it might get cold later."

So Hood walked across the village with some food. As he passed the shops, he could hear his classmates shouting and laughing at his coat with the red hood. He put his head down and walked on4 .

Hood had a good time with his grandmother. When it was time to go home, Hood "forgot" his coat. " 5 ," he thought. "I won't need to wear my coat tomorrow!"

Hood couldn't believe it when he found his coat in its6 place the next morning. "Oh,7 grandmother brought it over last night," his mother explained. "Her temperature was normal last night."

When he arrived at school wearing his red coat, as usual, he8 his classmates to shout and laugh at him.9 there was silence. All day, it did not happen.

After school, Hood decided to visit his grandmother again. "Why didn't you10 me what other children were doing to you?" asked his grandmother. "When I was walking to your home, I11 your red coat. On the way, I heard shouting and laughing and name calling. They must have thought I was you!"

"What did you do?" asked Hood, feeling 12 .

"Oh, that's my secret," said his grandmother, "But I don't think you will have any 13 again."

He was very pleased that the shouting, laughing and name calling would 14 . Perhaps it was better that he did not know what his 15 had done.

Zhang Hanliang, who has practiced martial arts (武术) for over 20 years, is now a martial arts 1 at Tianshui Normal University in Gansu. The 35-year-old woman and her team have posted many traditional Chinese martial arts videos online exercising and practicing Tai chi in the past years.

"Online videos interest many Internet users at home and 2 . Many young Chinese and foreigners are interested in it. I hope that more and more people will 3 the beauty of Chinese martial arts," said Zhang. She also added that she wanted to spread martial arts to the public 4 the Internet.

At the age of 8, her father 5 her to a sports school in Gansu. She was the youngest child at the school but worked 6 . The oldest schoolmates and teachers were very 7 at her efforts.

"I was a hard-working girl and would keep daily 8 every day," Zhang said.

In 2007, Zhang began to work at Tianshui Normal University. In addition to her daily teaching task, Zhang has been 9 to France, Russia, Malaysia and other countries many times to teach martial arts.

"Martial arts can be a 10 for cultural exchange between China and other countries," said Zhang. She added that she hoped that more and more young people could understand and love martial arts.

 One night in July at an all-girls summer camp, the students sat around a fire and talked with each other. Their teacher asked if any of the girls wanted to1 something. It could be anything that happened that day and what they     2 it. One girl put up her hand. She said that another girl said something bad to her and it hurt her     3 . For that, she felt quite sad about it. The teacher went into the4 , and carried a tube of toothpaste(牙膏) when she walked out     5 the door. Then she held the tube     6 in the air so that every student could see7 . She squeezed(挤) a bit so some toothpaste came out. She then tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube, 8 she couldn't make it. It just made a mess(脏乱). She squeezed the tube even more, 9 more toothpaste and making even more of a mess. 10 of the toothpaste would go back into the tube. 

11 , the teacher then told the students, "This toothpaste is just like the12 you say. When you say something bad, it's13 to take it back. It only makes a mess. 14 before you speak and make sure something you say are15 before you let them out. We should always be careful with what we say. "

 Remember: something you say can be a soothing medicine or a sharp knife. 

Gifts are a way for people to show love. When you plan to choose gifts for your friends or family, you may spend lots of time thinking about{#blank#}1{#/blank#} their favourite gifts are. I think a handmade gift is the best choice. And you don't need to worry about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your gift is expensive or not. 

For example, on Teachers'Day, many students would like to make  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) teachers gifts by hand. It may be a simple(简单的) handmade wallet,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} it may be a warm scarf. The handmade greeting card(贺卡) is a nice choice too. Many students stick or draw some pictures, and then they write down{#blank#}5{#/blank#} they really thank teachers' help and encouragement. More than anything, the gift comes from the heart and shows them your love and care. I believe teachers will feel  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(surprise) at all the things students make by themselves. By the way, do you know  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Teachers' Day is? It falls on September 10th. 

And I want to share {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you can improve your gift-making skills. You can learn from the Internet or other people. It's a good idea to hold a gift-making party and let everyone share gifts they made for others. I believe you  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(learn) more skills in the future. At the same time, it will make the relationship(关系) between you and your friends stronger. 

Someone may ask  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it seems hard for him to show others his love. There are many answers, but advice is: Don't be shy to show your love or be afraid to make mistakes! Just have a try!
