Long ago there was a boy who was hungry for success. For him, winning was 1. One day, the boy was going to compete with two other young boys in a 2 in his village. A large crowd gathered to 3. Among the crowd was a wise old man.

    The race began. With strength and power, the boy 4. The crowd cheered and waved at the boy. The boy felt 5 and important. However, the wise man remained calm and said nothing.

     “6 race!” shouted the boy. The wise old man stepped forward and presented the boy with two new competitors, an old woman and a blind man. “This isn't a race!” the boy shouted angrily.

“Race!” 7 the wise man. The race started and the boy was the8 one to cross the line— the other two left standing at the starting line. The boy raised his arms excitedly. However, the crowd was 9 this time.

     “Why don't the people join in my 10?” he asked the wise old man.

     “Race again!” replied the wise man. “But this time, three of you should finish 11”

    The boy thought for a while, stood between the blind man and the old lady, and then took the 12 of the blind man and the old woman. The race began and three of them walked 13 to the finishing line and crossed it. The crowd cheered. The wise man smiled, gently 14 his head.

     “Who is the crowd cheering for?” asked the boy.

    The wise old man, putting his hands on the boy's shoulders, replied softly, “Little boy, for this race, you have won 15 than in any other race you have ever run before, and for this race, the crowd cheer not for any winner!”

    Several days ago, we had an exam. When the first day's exam 1; we checked the answers with each other. I found some of my answers were 2 from my classmates'. Since I didn't do 3in my subjects, I thought they were right and I was wrong.

    The math questions were 4 difficult that I couldn't finish them. There were at least 35 points lost. So5 the physics exam. I made many mistakes. Watching my classmates' happy 6; I was deadly sad. I leaned on the desk 7. I wanted to cry but it seemed that there were not any tears. I could do nothing but go on with 8 exams. I shouldn't give up. I decided to listen to some music so that I could be calm（冷静的） and confident in the other exams. Thank goodness! The music did work! I became9. And I did better than before. I got good marks in the others.

    From these exams, I learnt that we must have confidence（自信心） in whatever we do. Confidence is the first step to10. If we study hard, success is just right there waiting for us.

There are lots of amazing places for people to imagine and expect in the world. But many people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (encourage) to go into Cambridge.

I come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. I have grown up there and experienced many {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (wonder) times. I have many good {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (memory) of it. In recent years, it develops {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (rapid) and has changed a lot. For this, more and more tourists take an interest in it.

Cambridge is 80 kilometers from London. London is in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}south of England. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (big) and busier than Cambridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous {#blank#}7{#/blank#}Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge. England {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) is part of an island. It owns rich tourism resources. Tourists like the mountain areas and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. So it's really perfect for you {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (pay) a visit. It is never very hot in summer {#blank#}10{#/blank#}very cold in winter. So you can visit England any time of the year. Or it will be a pity in the rest of time.

As I walked to my car at a shopping mall(购物中心), I saw a man. He was sitting on the ground with a board that said, "Please help".

I often 1 $20 to people like him, but now I decided to2 some time as well. I stopped and said, "Come on, brother. Take your things and let's get you some groceries (食品杂货)."

As we walked back into the3 , I knew his name. I learned that he had a place to live,4 had no money to buy food. I also knew that he was happy although he was poor. He shared his story5 , but I still wanted to help him. We started with some fruit and6 . He chose some tomatoes first, then got some carrots and a couple of onions. I 7 him what he hadn't had for a long time. He said 8 . So we chose a nice steak (牛排). As we were 9 , he told me he had two boys. A big pack of noodles went in the 10 . He also asked if he could get some books. Of course, that was fine, too.

I was not sure what had happened to this man, but he was 11 . He just only put what he really needed12 his basket. I know I will not do this all the time, as I don't have enough money to do so next. Treating people with love, kindness and warmth is 13 . Helping others is a good way to help the world, even just in a 14 way. We often feel that there's 15 we can do to make the world better, but that's just not true.
