It was the beginning of a new term. As a 1  teacher in that school, I didn't know any of the students. A little girl was standing at the gate of the classroom. She looked very shy.

I walked up to her and2 why she stood there. But she said nothing. Then a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the worst student in her grade.”I looked at the little girl. She didn't seem to be the smart kind. I 3 why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and 4 her into the classroom.

“Sit here. Now you are my student and I'm your teacher,” I said. She still said nothing, but suddenly began to cry.

 I later learnt that her parents died in a car accident. She became sad and didn't like talking to others after that.

 She learnt very   5. I gave her respect(尊重) and never looked down upon (鄙视) her as I know everybody deserves(值得) respect. I helped her after school, and she was making 6   little by little. As time went by, she was not as  7 as before. At the end of the term, she seemed to have forgotten all her sadness. She was not among the best students when she left that school, but  8 , she was not that shy and sad little girl any more.

 In the following  9  , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I  10  an invitation to her wedding(婚礼). And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly.

 Everyone deserves respect and everyone can be happy.

      One day, when I 2  a mobile phone store, I saw an advertisement on its door. It was hiring(雇用，雇佣)new workers!

“Sir, are you hiring people?”I went 3the shop and asked. “Yes, but you should be the man who we need,” the manager answered. He looked at me for a few 4 from head to foot. “Do you have a high school diploma(文凭)?5he, “Or do you have any work experience?” I felt so ashamed and 6that I didn't know what to say, so I just turned around and left. I could not fall asleep that night, and I thought a lot about my 7 . “I must go to school or I can't do anything without a good education,” I 8 to myself silently.

Last Saturday, Tony went to see Benny. But he didn't know1Benny lived.2the way, he stopped in front of a yellow house, and asked an old woman the3to Benny's house. "His house is not far from my house," said the woman.

"It's behind the trees. But you can't get there4. You can go there by bus. It'll5you hours to get there6foot."

"What's7with her?" Tony thought." "I can see Benny's house from here now. It's behind the8."

Then Tony walked to the other side of the trees. He found the old woman was9.There was a river in front of him, and he couldn't see a boat. The house was on the other side of the10.

Hello，I'm Lucy. During my stay in America，my friend Susan invited（邀请）me to have dinner in a restaurant. That was a funny experience for me. Now let me talk about it. 

At first，my husband told me to take some money before I left，but I didn't listen to him. I thought Susan would pay because she invited me to go. 

The Americans like to be on time，so I arrived at the restaurant on time. We sat at a table and soon we began to enjoy ourselves there. The food was very delicious. We talked about our friends and shared the experiences about ourselves. 

After two hours，the waiter came and asked if we wanted one check（账单）and two. Susan said two. Susan paid her check，and the waiter gave me mine. I had no money. Then I had an idea and said，"Oh!I left my money at home!Can I call my husband？"The waiter showed me where the phone was. I ran to it and called my husband. In a few minutes，he arrived with some money. He laughed all the way home. 

It was in fall. A woman was sick. She stayed in the hospital by {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(she). She had no daughters or sons. Her husband died ten years ago. So nobody cared {#blank#}2{#/blank#} her. She felt very {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(alone). There was a tree outside her room. She saw the leaves fall down. Day after day, there were fewer and fewer leaves on the tree. The woman was very sad. She didn't want to eat {#blank#}4{#/blank#} drink. She became {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(bad) day by day. She got a strong {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(feel) of death. One day she said, "When the last leaf falls down, I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(die)."

When {#blank#}8{#/blank#}old artist heard of that, he came up with a good idea. He {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(volunteer) to paint a green and yellow leaf and put it in the tree when all yellow leaves fell down on a cold night. The next morning, when the woman looked out of the window, she found the last leaf was still there. The woman was so surprised that she decided {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(live) strongly like the leaf. From then on, she little by little got better.
