Dean felt his arms and legs were burning. With each breath, Dean wondered if he should be done, but as he touched the wall at the end of the pool he turned for another lap (圈). "I can do one more. This is for Kevin," Dean told himself. He was starting his seventh lap.

    Dean and the other members of his swim team were swimming to raise money for Dean's best friend, Kevin Hawking. Earlier in the year, Kevin fell ill. He needed expensive medical care that his family couldn't afford. After Kevin's friends learned what was happening, they started brainstorming ways to help. Several of Kevin's friends were on the swim team, which led to the idea of swimming.

    For a month, Dean and the other swim team members had asked for pledges (承诺) from anyone who would help: family members, friends, and neighbours. Most people pledged a dollar or two each lap. Dean's grandmother said she would offer $ 10 for each lap Dean swam!

    Finally, as Dean completed his tenth lap, he knew he was too tired to keep going. If I try another lap. I'll end up lying in the middle of the pool, waiting for someone to come and get me, he thought. Dean pulled himself up onto the edge of the pool and sat breathing quickly for a couple of minutes, quietly resting before he tried to stand.

    Dean's father came over and said, "Wow, Dean," shaking his head in amazement, "I am so proud of you. That's farther than anyone else has swum today, and I know it's farther than you've ever swum before."

    Dean stood up and slowly walked with his father back to the seats where the other swimmers sat next to Kevin. "Thank you," Kevin said.

    "It's no big deal. I know you'd do the same for me," Dean said.

Happiness is always around us if we put our heart into it.

As we all know,all of us need friends. In fact, we need true friends. Do you have any true friends? I think a true friend is always helpful. I don't believe it1 one thing happened to me when I was in Grade Eight.

Tom was one of my classmates and he sat next to me in the classroom. He always listened to his mother,but I didn't like listening to my mother. I didn't think it was2 for her to teach me everything. Tom knew all about that but he said3 to me.

One Saturday afternoon,Tom4 me to see a film. I liked movies very much,so I went to the cinema with him5 . The movie6 the love between a mother and a son. After watching it,I began to know the mother's great love. I felt sorry that I didn't listen to my mother7 . I decided to think8 about my mother than about myself.After I told that to him, Tom smiled and said,"It's really good for you to see such a movie. That was really an9 way for both you and me."

Just at that time, I knew Tom was my true friend and he really wanted to help me. I knew10 he invited me to see the movie in the end.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith have a food store in our town. When people go to their store, they' re polite (有礼貌的) and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to them. So, they have many friends and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} friends often go to their store to buy things or just to talk with them. 

It was a Saturday evening. At dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Smith talked about the next days mountain trip. For the trip, they needed to get up {#blank#}3{#/blank#} than before to catch (赶上) the train in the morning. After dinner, they started cooking some food for the trip. At that time, a few friends came to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} them. Mr. and Mrs. Smith had to stop to talk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them. They talked for a long time. Mrs. Smith looked at the clock and it was eleven. Mrs. Smith was anxious(焦虑的){#blank#}6{#/blank#}  it wasn't polite to ask them to leave. She thought for a few minutes and got an {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. She said to Mr. Smith" Oh, it's 11 p. m. ! You need to stop {#blank#}8{#/blank#} right now, dear! Our friends are anxious to go home. Mr. Smith heard this and said sorry to their friends. Their friends knew it was too late and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} soon. 

It's important to be polite to our friends, but it's also {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to say no to them in a smart way. Do you think so

One day, a boy didn't sell a piece of bread all the morning. He felt tired and sad. Then he said to himself,"I should find a cool place to rest for a while and go on selling the bread. What if good luck happens to me?"

 When he found a cool wall to rest on, an old woman walked over and said," Child, you look very tired but you didn't sell a single bread, right?"

 The boy asked in a low voice," What do you suggest I should do now?"

" Don't sell it any more. Go home quickly, my poor child." The old woman kindly said and then left.

A young man heard their conversation and he walked over. He said to the boy,"I don't agree with her. You should keep waiting. Don't lose your heart." The boy looked up at the young man and his eyes were full of hope again. After a while, the boy walked back to sell his bread.

 Suddenly, a car stopped. A young woman in the car said to the boy," Hey, little boy. It's good to see you here. I want to buy all your bread for the children in our Hope House."

 One early morning, I woke up by a telephone call. It was from a taxi driver. He told me he had my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (friend) cell phone . My friend Michael {#blank#}2{#/blank#}( leave) it in the taxi the night before. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} driver called others, but I was the first one to answer his call.

 It was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . rainy morning. For taxi drivers in this big city, it's the best time {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(make) money. He asked me where he could drop the cell phone off. I told {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(he) the streets where I lived. Then I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(quick) jumped out of bed and got dressed, so I could meet him at the corner

 When he arrived, I thanked him. And I was even {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (happy) than my friend. He moved to this country a few weeks ago— and I could only imagine how important his ceIl phone was to him! I asked the taxi driver for his name, so my friend could thank him. He said my {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(thank) were all that he needed. Then he drove off.

I e-mailed my friend telling him I had his phone. In the evening, he came to my home and I told him {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I got it. My friend was very excited to get back his cell phone. He said he would help others as much as possible.
