One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his tuition for school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dollar {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (leave). He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

    However, he suddenly felt very {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (shame) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him {#blank#}3{#/blank#} large glass of milk. He drank it hurriedly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”

 “You don't owe me anything,” she replied, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (smile). “Mother {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (teach) me never to accept pay for a kindness since my childhood, as it is pleasant enough to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (simple) help someone!” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”{#blank#}7{#/blank#} these words, he left that house, not only feeling stronger physically, but also {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (have) more faith in the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point. It was this glass of milk {#blank#}9{#/blank#} filled him with warmth to go on. Years later, he made {#blank#}10{#/blank#} as a famous physician, but he never forgot that young woman and her kindness.

    Charlie Chaplin was born in a poor family of music hall performers in 1889. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} astonished us was that Charlie {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(teach) to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at that time, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (especial) when the family income was often uncertain. Unfortunately his father died, leaving the family even worse off. By his teens, Charlie had become one of the most popular child actors in England. No one was ever bored {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(watch) him—his subtle acting made everything {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(entertain). As time went by, he began making films. His film character, the little tramp, was a social {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fail) but was loved for his optimism and determination {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(overcome) all difficulties.

    Charlie wrote, directed and produced the films he {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(star) in. In 1972 he was given {#blank#}9{#/blank#}special Oscar for his outstanding work. He lived in England and the USA but spent his last years in Switzerland, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.

    Sheryl dropped the heart-painted rock into my bag, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say), “There's no charge for this. I want to give it you! ”

    Her loving energy had attracted me {#blank#}2{#/blank#} her display at the artisan's PopLocal party like a bee to a flower. We had {#blank#}3{#/blank#} heart-to-heart chat about {#blank#}4{#/blank#} she began painting rocks because of the white feather symbolism shared as {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(inspire) between her and an uncle and how it{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (eventual) developed into her “bee kind” mission.

    From her pocket she pulled a sweet little rock. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (paint) like a bee, with the words “bee kind” on the back. “I paint and give these! ” she shared. “They are in so many {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (country) now, even one at the Great Wall of China! ”

    I asked if I could take some photos. I saw Sheryl's smile, and it just lit {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (she) whole fact. It just occurred to me that earlier in the day I gave away a heart-shaped “worry stone” and now I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (give) a rock with a heart painted lovingly on it.

    As Alison Gopnik described in her recent book, there are two kinds of parents in modern America: The Carpenter and the Gardener. The "carpenter" thinks that his or her child can{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(shape). "The idea is that if you just do the right things, get the right skills and read the right books, you're going to be able to turn your child {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a particular kind of adult，" she said

    The "gardener", however  is seldom concerned about {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (control) what the child will become and instead provides a protected space {#blank#}4{#/blank#}explore). The style is all about:" creating a rich, nutritious but also variable, diverse, active ecosystem".

    Gopnik, a psychology and philosophy professor at the University of California, Berkeley, said." Many parents are carpenters, and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}is really necessary for them to bring up their children." She spent decades researching children's development and finally {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(find) that parents often focused too much on what their children would be as adults. The harm is that parents and their children may become{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (anxiety), tense or unhappy.

    "We're so concerned about our children {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we think have difficulty mastering their own future that we're unwilling to allow them to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (free) explore the world." she says. The truth is that the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (little) that parents worry about outcomes, the better their children may live in life.

    While bottled water is convenient, it is also really bad for the environment. Not only does it create rubbish, but it also uses more resources because it {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (ship) to the shore. To be more eco-friendly, make it a habit {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (carry) a reusable water bottle with you everywhere so that you can drink water on the go. Plastic bottles are usually the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (light) and most convenient. You can also find glass water bottles that are a great choice if don't like using plastic.
