My problems started after I went to a boarding(寄宿)school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends-but only friend. I never guessed my friendship with boys would become a problem.

    Then, two months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long to get attention(注意)from them. A few months after that, the class teacher James asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union. I thought I could win for I was doing well at school. I came first in the English and Math exams. A week later, the list(名单)came out and it didn't include me. James came to me and said, "Don't be sad. I know you're excellent! Maybe you're a little distant(远的)from the girls in our class. They don't know much about you, so some of them didn't choose you. It doesn't matter. Do your best to get on well with everyone and I think you'll make it next time. "

    Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious food. As an important officer, he was often asked to dinner. The shopkeepers tried their best to fawn on(巴结) him. They knew it was good for their business. Now the officer got fatter and fatter. He could hardly go upstairs（楼上） at home and had to sleep downstairs. He often felt tired if he walked or did some housework. He was worried about it and had to go to a doctor. "Stop eating much fat(脂肪) and sugar, Mr. Jenkins," said the doctor, "or it will be worse for your health!" It was difficult for the officer to do it. He didn't do as the doctor said. He found something was wrong with his heart a few months later. Now he thought the doctor was right. And he had to be in hospital. "You must lose weight(减肥), sir," said the doctor, " unless you want to die soon!" "Could you tell me a way to lose weight, please?" "You must do some exercise first." "Which exercise?" "To move your head from side to side when you are invited to dinner!"

    A young boy was playing with a ball in the street. He threw(扔) it too hard and it broke the window of a house and fell(掉) inside. A woman came to the window and shouted(大喊) at the boy. The boy was afraid and ran away. But he still wanted his ball back. A few minutes later, the boy came back and knocked(敲) at the door and said, "My father is going to come and repair(修理) your window soon."

    After a while, a man came to the door with tools(工具) in his hand, so the woman let the boy take his ball away. When the man finish repairing the window, he said to the woman, "Please pay ten dollars."

    "But aren't you the father of the boy?" the woman asked, looking surprised (惊奇).

    "No," he answered, looking more surprised, "Aren't you his mother?"

One day, a hunter went hunting with his dog. He saw a rabbit running out of a bush not far in front and 1 raised his gun to shoot. The rabbit was hurt. It ran away 2 . The hunter waved to the dog to 3 it. The well- trained dog rushed like an arrow, running very fast and full of 4 .

The rabbit ran so desperately that it 5 not to have been hurt at all. However, the dog was surprisingly left behind. Gradually, the dog was losing sight of the rabbit. At last when the dog 6 empty- handed, the hunter was angry and blamed it," How 7 ! Unable to catch an injured rabbit! No supper for you." Feeling sad, the dog tried to explain for 8 ," Though I didn't catch it, I had done my best."

When the rabbit got home, all the other rabbits were surprised at its 9 . They were dying to ask," How did you 10 to run away when the dog almost caught you? It's unbelievable! " The frightened rabbit answered," The dog would only be blamed for not catching me at most,11 all it did was to do its best. The situation was completely different 12 me. I would surely lose my life 13 I was caught. I had to go all out(竭尽全力)!"

We can learn a lesson for our daily life from the story. Have we ever examined ourselves and asked 14 we did our best or went all out when we looked for a(n) 15 for our failure?

One night, he sees fireflies (萤火虫) outside his house.Then he thinks, "Can fireflies be my lamp?" He gets some fireflies in a bag and uses the bag to be a lamp.It's great.He reads like this at night.

Another child, Sun Kang, also loves reading.One night, Sun Kang doesn't have lamp oil and can't study.When he gets up at night, he sees the snow reflecting the moonlight(反射月光) outside his house."I can use the reflected light to read," he thinks.He takes out his books and reads.He is very cold, but he still reads outside.
