An Englishman shows a foreign visitor around London. "What is that strange building?" asks the visitor. "That's the Tower of London." "I see. How long did it take to build it? ""About 20 years." "In my country, we can build it in 20 months," answers the visitor. A short time after that they come to St. Paul's Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂). "Very interesting," says the visitor. "How long did it take to build it?" "About forty years." "In my country we can finish it in forty days," says the visitor. This goes on all day. They visit most of the best known buildings in the city. Every time they see a new one, the visitor always asks the same question. Then he always answers that they can do the same thing much faster in his country. At last, the Englishman gets angry with the visitor but he tries not to show it. At last they come to the House of Parliament and the visitor asks his usual question "What is that?" The Englishman answers "I don't know. It wasn't there last night."

    One day a dog saw a lion running to him, The dog quickly stood near some bones(骨头)on the ground. Then the dog began to "eat" the bones with his back to the lion. Just as the lion was about to jump, the dog said, "That was one delicious lion! I want to know if there are any more around here."

    Hearing this, the young lion felt scared and ran away.

    A squirrel(松鼠) saw this. He told the lion about the dog's trick(恶作剧). The young lion was angry. "Jump on my back and see what's going to happen to that dog!" the young lion shouted.

My Bedroom

Welcome to my bedroom.What can you {#blank#}1{#/blank#} on the walls?There is a map and some photos on them.Look at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} desk.It is blue and looks beautiful.I like it very much.A schoolbag and many books are on it.The schoolbag is new.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} else can you see on my desk?My bottle {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my cap are on it too.Can you see my keys?Aha,they are under my cap.I think my desk is not {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.I need to keep it clean and tidy.Yes,I'll do it right away. 

Not long ago, I decided to read a lot of books to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（增长） my knowledge. So I went to the library and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（返回） with several books. But after a few days, I felt I was not {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（耐心） enough. It was impossible for me to calm down to read a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（整个） book. I didn't know how to deal with this problem. Then suddenly one day, I had an idea: why not make reading fun?

From then on, I knew what I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （确切） needed, so I started reading books widely. I read different kinds of books, like storybooks, science books, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（小说） and so on. And I also made a list of books I read every month. When I read books, I tried to understand the writers' {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （快乐） and sadness. And I also read books in different places. Sometimes I liked reading in the library. Sometimes I liked reading{#blank#}8{#/blank#} （在……旁边） a peaceful lake. After reading books, I made myself understood by expressing my ideas more {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（清楚）. Now I am more interested in reading. And books have become a part of my life. Books are great wealth for me.

Books are like our friends. They are very {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （帮助） to us. We can learn a lot from the books we read. They can also give us a lot. So start reading now, or one day you will regret not having read enough books.

I received a phone call from my friend the night before yesterday.  We talked for more than 40 1 .  But I spent 30 minutes listening to her.  Her 2 were full of complaints (抱怨) about the work, the society and other things.  Later I stopped her and 3 her, "Firstly, what are you trying to tell me after repeating all that? Secondly, how do you feel after 4 these complaints.  I think 5 can be changed unless you make up your mind to change it. " In the following communication, we talked much better.  We talked about the progress she had made on her6 , and I also gave her some advice on her work. 

We all have problems with our work, our friends, our families, or within ourselves.  We should do something to 7 the problem instead of complaining all the time.  What is the use of complaining? No use at all.  The goal of changing the world is too 8 .  We cannot achieve that big goal in one go.  Try to start with yourself, face to life actively and change your world.  Changing your world is an important part of changing the world.  And remember to be9 to others.  Be thankful, so you don't complain.  Then everything will change, 10 get better and better!

Change yourself, start by stopping complaining, and the world will really start to change.
