    A young queen was given a magic box by a wizard(男巫). The box would bring happiness to the whole country whenever it was opened in a place full of the spirit of generosity(慷慨).

    The queen travelled all over the country, looking for the most generous people. If she collected them all, she could open the magic box.

    One day, when the queen returned to her palace，she saw a poor little boy begging. She would like to give the boy some money, but she didn't have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old box. Then he could sell it for a little money. At first the queen hesitated(犹豫)，because she had been told the box had magical powers. But seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the box and opened it.

    Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the box and a voice said, “Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself. ”

    While enjoying all the wonders of the magic box, the queen learned to set an example for others, and she became the best queen ever in history.

Who is Dimash(迪玛希) Kudaibergen? Weeks ago, nobody knew about him in China. But now he has many Chinese fans. 

Dimash, 24, is a singer from the Republic of Kazakhstan(哈萨克斯坦). He took part in the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(唱歌) competition(比赛) Singer 2017 on Hunan TV. He sings {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(好) and has a pretty {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(脸). That made him {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(受欢迎的) very fast. After singing a traditional French song, he got over 300, 000 followers on Weibo.

Before coming to China, Dimash was already well-known in his country. His talent in music {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(来) from his family. His grandparents and parents are all {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(音乐家). At {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(五), he learned to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(弹) the piano and sang in a choir(合唱团). He has won many musical awards. In 2015, he won the first place at the International Slavic Bazaar Festival.

Besides music, Dimash {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(喜欢) sport. He started {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(游泳) when he was 14. He also likes soccer, basketball and riding a bicycle.

Ronny looked like every other kid in the classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, he had a speech problem so he couldn't 1 like other kids in his grade.

I worked with all the students in Ronny's class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny's 2 , I'd give him a silent smile. That's why he sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that 3 had ever seen.

I watched his fingers move 4 under each letter as he read out difficultly.

Every time he managed (完成) to read a word with a 5 pronunciation (发音), the biggest smile would spread across his face and his 6 would shine with pride.

A few weeks before the school year ended, I 7 Ronny a book—one of those Little Golden Books. A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I 8 Ronny on a chair with the book. His head teacher said, "He hasn't 9 that book since you gave it to him." Deeply moved, I walked 10 Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked, "Will you read me your book, Ronny?" For the next few minutes, he read to me more 11 than I'd ever thought. The 12 were already dog-eared (卷角的), like the book had been read many times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great 13 , "What a good book!"

At that moment, as a writer, I knew I would get 14 about my own writing and do what that writer had done, and probably still does—care enough to write a story that 15 a child's life, care enough to make a difference.

Once, there was a small and poor village near the sea. Houses there were made of stone and wood. They were very 1 and could fall down（倒塌） at any time. A young man, named Harriet, lived in a wooden house, with his old 2 . Harriet dreamed of moving to a big city, but 3 never visited any of them.

His friends told him some exciting stories during their stay in cities. This made Harriet bored all summer long 4 he couldn't even go to the nearest city.

One day, Harriet walked into the house 5 and threw（摔） himself into the dirty brown chair. "Are you okay, dear?" His grandma asked. "No!" Harriet shouted. "My friends are taking trips to big 6 , and I'm still here!" Harriet's Grandma got a terrible 7 .

This unhappiness lasted for weeks. One morning, Harriet woke up. He walked outside to look at the sun 8 .

Soon after, his grandma came. "Listen, Harriet." She spoke. "Look at the 9 ," she continued（继续）. "Isn't it beautiful? When you' re in the big cities, you can't see that. Look at the beach, isn't it great? You won't find that in a city, would you?" This made Harriet know how nice life is, and he's 10 to live in a village. Next time, he would like to share the beautiful views with his friends.

On a Saturday night in January, I was making my way to a sleepover at Nathan's house. This was going to be a wonderful adventure as I had never been to his place before. I had received the address, 39 Western Avenue, via text message. As I turned the corner and stepped onto Western Avenue, a large cloud moved in front of the moon, leaving a shadow (阴影) over everything.

In the dimness, I found it truly hard to see the house numbers clearly. However, not wanting to waste any time, I walked up the driveway of what I thought might be Nathan's house. I rang the bell and waited patiently, expecting someone to open the door and welcome me. But no one came. Thinking that perhaps they hadn't heard the first ring, I rang the bell again. After a few moments of waiting, I realized with a sinking feeling that I had made a mistake. I had gone to number 37 instead of 39.

Just then, the door of number 37 opened suddenly. The house was completely dark inside, so I could hardly see anything. Suddenly, there was a loud shout and a man rushed past me, running towards the street. Another man quickly followed him. They were in such a great hurry to leave that they dropped most of the things they were carrying. Curiosity (好奇心) getting the better of me, I picked up one of the items so that I could look at it more closely. To my surprise, it was a beautiful brooch. Right then, I understood what had been happening. These men must be thieves! Without hesitation (犹豫), I took out my phone and called the police.

I stood on the doorstep, anxiously waiting for what seemed like a long time. After five or ten minutes had passed, an unmarked police car finally arrived. Two policemen got out of the car. One of them immediately went into the house to look for clues while the other policeman asked me about the thieves. "You did extremely well," he said with admiration. "It was really ____ of you to interrupt (打断) those thieves and chase them away." I felt a sense of pride and relief knowing that I had done the right thing.
