One day, a man saw an old lady sitting inside her car at the side of the road. Though it was dark, he could see she needed help. So he stopped his car and walked towards her. The old lady was worried, even though she noticed the smile on his face. Was he going to hurt her? "I'll help you start your car, madam. By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson, " he said.

    While Anderson was fitting a spare tired (备胎) to her car, the lady began to talk to him. She thanked him much for coming to help.

    Anderson just smiled as he put his tools away. The lady asked how much she should pay him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give them the help they needed. He waited until she started her car and drove off.

    A few miles down the road, the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in and a waitress came over with a sweet smile. The old lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的), but she never let the pains and aches change her smile when she served her.

    The lady finished her meal and paid with a hundred-dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change, but the old lady was gone when the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she found there was a note on the napkin (餐巾), "You don't need to give me anything back. Somebody once helped me out the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do—do not let this chain (链子) of love end with you."

    Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

    It was Sunday yesterday. Michael sat on the sofa and watched TV. He was very relaxed. His mother was doing the dishes. Suddenly, she felt terrible. She had to stop. Michael came to his mother and asked, "Are you all right, Mom?" "Yes. I'm OK, but I need to take a rest," said his mother.

    Michael felt sorry for his mother. He thought he should help his mother do the dishes. She felt terrible because she was too tired. So he did the dishes and cleaned the room when his mother was lying in bed. Michael felt happy because the room looked clean.

    When Michael's mother felt better, she went to do the dishes. But she was surprised to see the clean room. "You are really a great boy," she said happily. Michael was happy, too.

A teacher decided to let her class play a game.She told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag with a few big potatoes.Each potato was given the name of a person that the child hated，so the number of potatoes that a child put in his or her plastic bag depended on the number of people he or she hated.

When the day came，every child brought some potatoes with the names of the people he or she hated.Some had two potatoes，some three while some had up.to five potatoes.The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever they went.

Days after days passed，and the children started to complain（抱怨） because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten（腐烂的） potatoes.Besides，those having as many as five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags.After weeks，the children were very happy because the game had finally ended.

The teacher asked，"How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you these days？"The children let out their dissatisfactions and started complaining about the trouble they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they went.

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game."This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart.The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go.If you cannot stand the smell of rotten potatoes for just a short period of time，can you imagine what it is like to have hatred in your heart for your lifetime？"So remember：Forgive those you hate and move on.

My neighbour, Mr Brown, is a very old man. His children live in a different city, so he lives{#blank#}1{#/blank#} most of the time. Mr Brown has a small dog, but for him it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to take the dog for walks because he is too old. The dog needs to go outside twice every day.

I want to help Mr Brown. Now, every morning {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I go to my school, I go to Mr Brown's house. I take his dog for a short {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. The dog is always happy and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} jo go out. After that, I bring the dog back home and then I get ready {#blank#}6{#/blank#} school.

① The first wonderful Chinese garden in the English city of Cambridge was open during the fourth annual (年度的) Cambridge Xu Zhimo Poetry (诗歌) and Art Festival.

② The China-UK Friendship Garden is also known as Xu Zhimo Garden. People build this garden to remember the late Chinese poet Xu Zhimo, an associate member (准成员) of King's College from 1921 to 1922. 

③ In 1928, after Xu's third visit to the English city, he wrote the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge (《再别康桥》). It is very famous and popular not only in China but also all over the world. This poem shows his true love for Cambridge, as well as his own thoughts and feelings about his first love. 

④ The poem's first and last lines have been carved (雕刻) into a granite stone (花岗岩). Since the garden opened, it has become one of Cambridge's most popular places. 

⑤ Steven Coghill is a gardener at King's College. And he first brought out the idea to create the Xu Zhimo Garden. It took him 3 years to plan and build the garden, and it has many trees and flowers that grow naturally in Zhejiang Province. Steven Coghill wants to build a garden to remember Xu Zhimo, because he really has a deep love for Chinese culture and Xu's poems. 

I like English and I'm good at English. Especially, I'm good at {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Do you know how I can make it? I do it by keeping a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in English. Everyday, after {#blank#}3{#/blank#} homework and before going to bed, I think about what I mainly do {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the day at school. And I also think about what I learnt at school. Then I choose something most {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to write down. Day by day, my English is getting better and better.
