A long time ago, there lived a wise man named Zun-Nun in Egypt. A young man came to visit him and asked, “Teacher, why do you dress in 1 a way? Nowadays it's necessary to dress neatly（整洁地）, isn't it? Or how will people know you're really a 2and wise man?”

    Zun-Nun smiled, took a ring from his finger and said, “Young friend, I'll answer your question, 3 first do one thing for me. Take this ring to the market. Can you sell it for one chip of gold?”

    When the young man looked at Zun-Nun's dirty ring, he thought to 4, “How will I sell it at that price?”

    He 5  the ring to the vegetable, meat and fish traders and others in the market. But 6 was willing to pay a chip of gold.

    He returned and told this to Zun-Nun. Zun-Nun said, “Now go to the gold shop and show the ring to the owner. Don't give a 7, just see how much he will pay.”

    One hour 8, the young man was back. “Teacher, people in the market really didn't know the value of this ring. The gold shop owner 9 me 1,000 chips of gold.”

    Zun-Nun smiled. “That's the answer to your question, my friend. Someone can't be valued only from his 10. The ring was a gift from the emperor,” he said.

Dad's Advice

    When I finished my school education, I began to find a job. I was very happy because it was time to make my dream come true.

    One evening, my father talked to me about what kind of 1I should look for. He wanted me to work for a big company and asked me to take his advice. But I really hoped to be a teacher. It was my dream. I didn't accept his 2. We shouted and didn't talk to each other. Even worse, I found it more and more difficult for us to say sorry as time went by.

A week later, I decided to break the 3 and make the first move. So I dialed (拨打) my father's number and began talking in a low voice, "Dad...I am 4. I shouldn't argue with you that day!"

There was a silence at the other end. After a while, he 5 in a low voice. "Well, that's all right, honey."

I was surprised, and raised my voice a little, "Dad, I understand why you don't want me to be a teacher, but to be a teacher is my dream job. I hope you can also 6 me."

From the other end of the line comes my father's answer, "Sorry, honey. I shouldn't force you to accept my idea. You have your own dream, I should 7 you."

    On hearing this, I was so 8 that my eyes were full of tears (眼泪). I realized that this special moment had taken our father-and-son relationship to a new level.

    A few weeks later, my mother told me that my father had been ill for half a year. He would get an operation (手术). The operation was successful. My father was saved and 9 escaped (逃离，逃脱) death.

    Many times I feel lucky that I 10 the first step to say sorry to my father. I can't imagine how I can live the rest of my life if my father didn't have a successful operation.

Cao recalled that he could perform this first aid thanks to a(n)2 education class. He called on all of people to take the learning3 . Every student should learn to protect themselves or others in a scientific way. And someone advised there should be more4 of learning, such as online competitions and role-plays. Here is the way of performing Heimlich maneuver.

First, stand behind the person.

Second, make a fist with one hand.

Third, put your arms5 the person and grasp (抓) your fist with the other hand near the top of the stomach.

Fourth, make a quick and hard movement inward and upward.

Last but not the least, this way isn't suitable for the children under one year old.

Do you know how chocolate is made？Recently my class had a field trip to the Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Toronto，Canada.

We were divided into 10 groups and visited an old building.The guide first explained the history of the factory.Then we got some earbuds（耳塞） to protect our ears from the noise of the machines.We also needed to wear disposable（一次性的） lab clothes and hairnets（发网）

After these preparations，we went upstairs and entered the chocolate﹣making area.The floor was filled up with many machines.Each machine has a different job.The whole floor only has two people working，because machines do most of the work.Next，and there were more than1，000 people working in the factory.But now the factory is very different.It's amazing how technology is changing people's life.

Later，we saw the chocolate﹣making process.We got a cocoa bean，some powdered（粉状的），kind of like dark chocolate.It is the raw material used to make chocolate.The powdered chocolate tasted good already.It is a combination of cocoa bean，milk and sugar.The final product tasted delicious.

Finally，we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory.It was at a very low price.I learned about the chocolate industry during the field trip.And I also realized how important technology is.

Once upon a time, there were two fishermen called Luke and Jim. They were good at fishing. One day they went fishing by the lake. Jim {#blank#}1{#/blank#} fishing alone. Luke was an outgoing person who loved to make {#blank#}2{#/blank#} with different people.

When Luke found that some tourists at the lake couldn't catch any fish, he said to them,"I can teach you how to fish. If you catch ten fish, give me one fish as compensation (报酬). But {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you get fewer than ten, you don't need to give me anything." The tourists and Luke came to an agreement {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. After that, Luke started to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them some fishing skills. After he finished teaching a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, he went to teach another group. Hours later, he asked the tourists to give {#blank#}7{#/blank#} one fish for ten fish that they caught. At the end of the day, Luke got a full bucket of fish, and also made a lot of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} friends. The tourists regarded him as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} good teacher for teaching them how to fish.

As for Jim,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} fishing for a whole day alone, he looked into his fish bucket, and found he had far fewer fish than his friend. He felt very upset.

If we help others succeed, we will harvest(收获) both success and friends.
