Millie is a little girl who is at the age of nine. She is a pupil in a primary school. She works hard at her subjects. In class, she takes an active part in all kinds of activities. She looks smarter than her classmates.

    One day, she was doing her homework after supper as usual. Her father was not in. Her mother was taking a shower in the bathroom. After she finished her homework, Millie asked her mother to check it for her, but her mother didn't answer her. A few minutes later, her mother was still in the bathroom. Millie felt strange. She knocked at the door. But her mother had no answer. She pushed the door open and found her mother lying on the floor. At the same time, she smelled something terrible. It was the gas. She quickly opened the window, turned off the gas and called 120 and 110 for help. Soon some doctors and policemen came and sent her mother to the nearest hospital. Her mother was saved at last.

    Why did the little girl know how to do that? That was because she had learned how to save herself and others in danger in school.

    Penny was a five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were at a store, Penny saw a plastic pearl necklace. What a lovely necklace! She wanted it very much, so she begged her mother to buy it for her. The mother said, “Well, I can buy you the necklace, but when we get home, we should discuss what you can do to pay for it. Can we do that?” Penny agreed with much happiness, and she got the plastic necklace she loved.

    How much Penny loved the necklace! She wore it everywhere and every minute. Penny also helped with housework to get pocket money and she worked very hard. Soon she managed to pay off the price for the necklace.

    Penny's daddy saw all her effort and knew how much Penny cared about the necklace. One night, he asked Penny, “Penny, do you love me?”

    “Sure, Daddy,” the little girl said.

    “Then how about giving me your necklace?”

    “Come on, Daddy! Not my necklace!” Penny cried.

    “Oh, darling, it's fine,” her father gave her a kiss.

    A week later, her father asked Penny again for her plastic necklace.

    “Oh! Daddy, please don't!” Penny cried even harder.

    However, several days later, Penny went to her daddy with tears in her eyes. “Here, Daddy. I love you.” She held out her hand. Inside it was her plastic pearl necklace that she loved a lot.

    Seeing this, Penny's father smiled with surprise. He then pulled a cute box out of his pocket. Inside of the box was a real and beautiful pearl necklace, which was waiting for Penny for so long.

    I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly (相当地) easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!

    One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn't do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.

    It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann. played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe. I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards. I smiled confidently. Miss Forsythe's understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.

I looked into the mirror and checked if I was dressed up properly, YES! My hair was clean and my tie was straight. So I confidently(自信地) went to the stage(舞台), imagining how proud my parents would be of their son! That evening, I was the pianist playing in the school concert for the first time. When the concert was over, I couldn't wait to share my joy with my family. However, only my mother was there. She explained, "Son, your dad is called out to work."

I was a little unhappy, though not very surprised. Because it was not the first time that my father was absent. As a manager in a big telecommunications(电信) company, my father was very busy with his work all year around. In fact, I didn't have much time with him. Every time when I complained about it, my father always said, "Everyone has his responsibility, and I have mine."

Later, I had a chance to visit father's company. He pointed to a big iron(铁) tower and said, "Son, that is a base station. Do you know that 25 percent of the calls in our country are through the network(网络) we built?" "Wow! But it's hard work. You know, China started late in many ways. We have to work hard and sometimes even give up time with family."

Now, more and more people are amazed at the Chinese miracle(奇迹). If any foreign friend asks me who makes the Chinese miracle, I want to tell that behind the miracle there are always a lot of people like my father. 

A mother returned home from work. She was tired after working 1 long hours. Her 8-year-old son was waiting for her. He wanted 2 her something about his younger brother. "While I 3 outside, Tyler took his crayons and wrote on the wall! He wrote on 4 wall in the living room. 5 dirty the wall is! I told him you would be angry with him for doing it again". The mother frowned (皱眉), "Where is your little brother now?" "He's in the bedroom. He knows that it's not good to do that." She walked to Tyler's bedroom. She called 6 full name when she opened the door. 

For the next 10 minutes, she was angry 7 shouted at the little boy. The more she shouted, the 8 she was. Then she went to the living room to see what the wall was like. 9 she saw the wall, she felt moved (感动的) and her eyes were full of tears (眼泪). It said "I love Mommy" and there were some 10 . Here is a lesson for everyone: we should spend more time playing with the children at home. 

This is George, a little monkey, and always curious (好奇). {#blank#}1{#/blank#} They were taking a trip to the country. Right then the worker shouted, "All aboard!" A crowd of people hurried towards the train. George simply rushed with the crowd through the gate. There he found the perfect hiding place for a monkey. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} "Look, Daddy, " he said,  "a train!" His father looked up and shouted. "That's not our train!" But it was too late. The gate locked behind him. The boy began to cry. George saw the boy's to y roll towards the tracks(轨道). The boy ran after it. George climbed out of his hiding place and ran fast.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} What a close call!

When the worker opened the gate, the boy's father ran to his son. The boy was not crying now. He was playing with his new friend. "You saved my son!" said the boy's father. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Just then Mrs Needleman arrived. She said"Here comes our train. ""This is our train too. " the father said. The little boy was excited. "Can George ride with us?" he asked.  That sounded like a good idea to everyone. So the worker found them a special seat. Right up front!
