It was yearbook day and we were given an hour to sign each other's yearbooks in the cafeteria. I was president of the class and I played sports. When I sat down at a table, people started to come over to get their yearbooks signed and to sign 1.
Among them, a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking. I had seen him around, and I knew he was always laughed at. He seemed2 of himself, and was so pale that it 3us to look at him.
He came up and asked me nervously, “Can you sign this?” I took his yearbook but I didn't know 4 to write. I saw that there was the name “Ricky Sanders” written on the front of it. So I wrote:

I put down the yearbook and turned around to get some signatures from some of my friends when I 5 my yearbook was gone. I saw that Ricky had sat down with my yearbook. “What are you doing?” I asked him. He looked up calmly(平静地) and 6said “Sign!”
My friends broke into a loud laugh, and I saw that he was carefully frying to put a signature in my yearbook. He hadn't even finished the “R” yet. I thought for a while and 7 to let him sign.
It took him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back, there was a very shaky “RICKY”. He hugged(紧抱) his yearbook and8. I couldn't help but smile back at him.
In that moment, my 9 changed completely.
I gave him a high five and suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature. He was asked politely to write in their yearbooks and the signature 10 of his yearbook were filled up. He was smiling so big that it lit up the whole room.
I changed school the next year, and I never saw Ricky again. However, I will never forget the day that he became the most 11guy in school. Whenever I'm 12, I still look back at that yearbook.

    Ma Yun became one of 1 men in China when his company Alibaba went on the stock (股票) market last year with a value of around 140 billion—the largest public offering in history. Here are some stories about him on2 way to success.

Ma made his3 trip to the US in 1995 and used the Internet for the first time. After 4 "beer", he saw that no results came up about China. Then he searched for "China" and still saw no results. He decided 5 a Chinese website—the seed for Alibaba was sown. (播种)

    Ma said he 6 many times in his life. He failed the College Entrance Examination in China three times and 7 companies offered him jobs, including one at KFC. And he was refused by the famous Harvard University 10 times.

    8 was difficult to learn English when Ma was a teenager 9 limited resources. 10, he found that he could learn English well by giving tourists free guides around his hometown Hangzhou. And he11it for nine years. Ma said 12tourists opened up a new world for him because everything they said and did was so different from what he had been taught at school and by his parents.

    Ma's hero is Forest Gump 13 never gives up. When he made a speech about his 14 at Davos (达沃斯论坛) in 2015, Ma said, "Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you15."

    One day, some animals got together in the forest. They were talking about which animal was the1. The pig said, "Pigs are the greatest

because we have many 2 I have twelve healthy little pigs," He asked the rabbit(免子)," 3 babies do you have?"

    The rabbit felt sad. He only had seven. Then he pointed at the sheep and said, "He only has two!" Everyone 4.

    A snake went by and said, "Snakes are truly the greatest. I have fifty!"

    "So what?" said another animal. Everyone turned around and saw a 5.

    The snake lifted up his head and looked at the lion." Why do you say so? I have fifty babies. You only have 6. That's nothing, "The other animals said that the snake was right.

    The lion laughed and said, "I only have one, 7 it is a lion. Only a lion can be the king of the forest. So lions are the best!"

    The other animals couldn't think of 8 to say. They had many babies, but 9 of them could ever be as strong as a lion." One valuable(有价值的) thing, said the lion, "is much 10than a hundred common ones."

When I was in Grade Eight, one thing made me sad. I could never get good grades in my1 exam.

One day, I talked to my mom about that. She asked me to think about the2 . I thought about it seriously. And then I3 what my problem was.

"Mom, the math questions are really4 . So I work them out quickly."

"Oh?" Mom listened carefully.

"Yes. They're so easy that I get careless. Sometimes I take notes （笔记）5 in class. And when I see them again, I can't understand them."

"I see," Mom said. "Good6 habits are important. Although you are clever and quick, you are not careful enough."

"You're right, Mom. I will try to be7 and careful, too."

"You cannot learn things well in a short time. You should keep on practicing it8 you use it easily."

"I will keep your word in my heart, Mom."

After that, I9 my learning habits. I studied as carefully as I could. When I did math exercises, I would read each word and find the key words. Then I connected （联系） them with what I learned, so I could do the exercises right.

You know what? A few weeks later, I did finally get a(n)10 grade in math! What a difference good habits make!

It was Mother's Day last year and I was doing{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(shop) at the supermarket with my five-year-old son, Johnson. As we were leaving, we saw{#blank#}2{#/blank#} old woman fall down and hit her head on the ground. Her husband tried{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(look) after her, but there was blood(血) everywhere.

Seeing this, Johnson became very sad about what happened{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the old woman. At the front of the supermarket, a man was selling{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(flower). Johnson suggested(建议) that we should buy the old woman a flower. "It will make her{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(feel) better,"he said. I was glad that he'd come up with such a sweet idea. So we walked towards the flower seller and bought one.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#} we walked up to her, my son became scared(害 怕的) to see the blood. Instead I gave the flower to the husband and told him, "My son is sad to see what happened to your wife and wants{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(buy) this flower to make her calm(镇定的)."

The old man{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(cry) and said,"Thank you very much. You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day." The man then gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. She was{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(bad) hurt, but the old woman looked up at Johnson with love in her eyes.

 Shakespeare(莎士比亚) and Company, the name of an independent bookstore, may be the most famous bookstore in the world. It is in Paris. The bookstore is not very big, but lots of people are always waiting to get into it on weekends and during the busy summer months.

 In 1951, a new English-language bookstore named"Le Mistral" was opened in Paris. It quickly became the center of culture in Paris. In'1964. on the 400th anniversary(周年纪念) of Shakespeare's birth, the owner of the bookstore gave it a new name" Shakespeare and Company". He said the name of the bookstore was"a novel in three words". Many famous people have been there. Shakespeare and Company is not only an exciting bookstore, but it also provides a place for English-speaking travelers to hold festivals of writing, reading, and art. What's more, besides getting reading materials, writers can help out in the bookstore in exchange for staying there. for free. It can offer living places and food to five or six writers at a time. The writers may stay as long as they want to. The owner is happy to provide writers with places to write. He often says, "I do this because when I was traveling around the world, many people gave me help. Now I want to help other people. "

 The bookstore holds many meaningful events, such as reading, discussions and story hours. All of these events are free. So if you are in the city, be sure to check the schedule of the events ahead of time. You won't be disappointed if you can join in them.
