    Do you have any interests in your childhood? In my seventh grade, I developed a/an 1 in solving a Rubik's Cube. I started by asking my brother to teach me and he asked me to solve a blue cross on a cube by myself.

    I spent around 20 minutes mixing the cube and finally got that little blue cross on the top. 2, I jumped up from the chair and raced into my brother's bedroom. After handing the cube to him, to my surprise, he mixed the perfect blue cross up. Making my work completely disappear.

    "Do it again," he 3 it back to me.

    "No, I won't." I was angry stepping out of his room.

    A few weeks later, my brother wasn't at home. "I'm going to 4 how to do this without him!" I promised myself. I spent the rest of my night watching a guy on YouTube teach me to solve the first few steps. I mastered those steps.

    The next day, I spent the whole school day secretly5 what I had learned the night before. When I made my way to my music class, I tried to find some spare time taking out the cube again and solving what I knew. Noah, my classmate, and also one of my best friends later, laughed at me.

    "Do you know how?" I sneered(讥笑).

    "Actually yeah, let me see it. My fastest solving 6 is 15 seconds," he noted as he began solving the cube. It took him about 25 seconds to finish it.

    "Okay, that was cool." I started solving the cube again. I didn't know at that time this boy would be my inspiration for cube solving. He taught me each step, each day, and when I 7, he'd remind(提醒) me how to do it. He was the best friend I'd ever had.

    Sadly he's no longer with us now, but the memories of solving cubes together will be there forever. It was this boy who helped me with cube solving. It takes me around a minute to solve a Rubik's Cube. I am 8 that I can do something not many people can. Thank you, Noah.

The elephant was lying and fast asleep on its side. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it ran after the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a few houses and hurt several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.

Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer(驯兽师). He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up —— how to catch wild elephants.

Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle (丛林). After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to a boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. "Life in the city is too boring. Catching elephants is an adventure (冒险) and the excitement can last for days after the chase," she says.

But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says,"is to rescue men from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from men." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Nowadays, the Indian elephant becomes angry: for many years, illegal(非法的) hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, people call Parbati to guide the animals back to the forest.

In a peaceful mountain village, a father named Edward and his beloved son Bob lived in a small farmhouse.

Edward was a hard-working 1 who worked on his land every day. Bob was a lively and innocent (纯真的) boy, and he always followed his father around. The son could often learn something 2 about life from his father.

One sunny morning, Edward took Bob to the yard. He 3 to several huge stones lying on the ground, and said with a smile, "Son, 4 these stones, they are in the way now. What can we do?"

"Can we move them 5 ?" Bob thought for a while and asked.

"Good idea! Maybe you can do it!" nodded the father.

Bob's eyes lit up with excitement, and he rushed over to 6 pushing one of the large stones. However, no matter how hard he tried, the stone 7 there.

Bob, feeling a little sad, said, "Dad, I tried to move it just now, but it didn't move 8 . I have tried my best. I have given it my all. I've used up all my 9 ." Edward smiled softly and replied, "No, son, you haven't used up all your strength. You haven't 10 for help."

With these words, Edward bent down, lifted a heavy stone and began moving 11 . He tried hard and finally moved it to one side of the road. Bob 12 his father in amazement when his father proved his words with his action.

13 Edward moved the stone, he turned to Bob and said, "Facing challenges with a determined (坚毅的) spirit is important. 14 , your own strength is limited. When a task is beyond your ability, you can choose to 15 strength from those around you."

From then on, he learned to ask for help and cooperate (合作) with others, understanding the importance of teamwork.

I felt coming steps. She was coming to teach all things to me, and to love me. 

I still remember the morning my teacher came, she led me into her room and gave me a doll (玩具娃娃). When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l". I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate (模仿) it. When I succeeded in making the letters correctly, I was so excited and proud. I did not know I was spelling, even didn't understand everything has a name. 

 Once, as I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan put my old doll onto my leg, spelled"d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand they were both dolls. Another time, she tried to tell me that"m-u-g" is mug and that"w-a-t-e-r" is water, but I still mixed them up. Hopelessly, she had to teach me from the beginning.  ▲ , so I threw the new doll upon the floor. 

I was quite happy when I felt the pieces of the broken doll at my feet. I was neither sad nor regretful. In my still, dark world, there was no warmth or love. I felt my teacher sweep the pieces aside, and it seemed that my trouble moved away. 

Later, we walked down the path to a well house. Someone was drawing water(抽水) and she placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream flowed over one hand, she spelled the word"w-a-t-e-r" into the other, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still and paid my whole attention on her fingers. Suddenly I knew "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful thing flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, and set it free!

I left the well house and wanted to learn more about the world. As we returned to the house, I remembered the doll I had broken. I picked up the pieces and tried to put them together. Then I cried, for I realised what I had done, and for the first time I felt sad and regretful. 

I learned many new words that day. I do not remember what they all were, but I do know that mother, father, sister and teacher were among them. It would have been difficult to find a happier child than I was. While lying in my bed at the end of that day, I hoped for a new day to come for the first time.
