My name is Philippe and my wife's name is Sophie. We're from1. Recently we were faced with a 2situation while traveling by car in the mountains with our hired driver. Just as we began to doze(打盹), the car made a strange, loud noise and then3working.

    We tried communicating with the driver but with little4because he couldn't speak French. He tried to tell us with body language that he was going to get help and then he left.

    We were in a poor area, with 5houses in sight. We started to bear the cries of wild animals Sophie was very afraid. We didn't have much food and it was getting 6and darker I began to lose7. Should we leave the car? Would our driver ever8? Was he a trustworthy man? We were very worried.

A couple of hours passed. 9, the headlights from another car appeared in the dark. A man got out of the car. Finding us cold and hungry, he kindly asked us to10his car.

11we left, he put a note on the windshield of the car with his phone number on it. Then he drove us to a nearby village, and we met his family. His cousin spoke French and he 12us tea and local foods. 13asked us questions and they were excited to have unexpected guests.

    Later that evening, the phone rang. It was our14. He had kept his word and fixed the car.

    I will15forget the warmth we received on that day because we depended on a complete stranger for help.

Zhou Yan is a middle school student in Sichuan Province. She has got a new mobile phone (手机)! It's a gift from her parents. They want her to use it to learn English during the coming winter holiday. But Zhou uses it to watch videos (视频) and send messages (信息). She plays with her mobile phone all the time, even after going to bed! Her parents get very angry about that.

This morning, when she gets up, Zhou finds that she can't move her hands. Her parents take her to a doctor right away. After checking her carefully, the doctor says Zhou Yuan has got "mobile phone disease (疾病)". She'd better stop using her mobile phone right away, or she will have more problems (问题). Now Zhou uses her mobile phone for 30 minutes a day.

So, if you've just got a phone, watch out! Don't use it too much. Or you will get mobile phone disease. Remember if you find your arms and fingers start to hurt (疼), go to see a doctor right away. That's important.

I still remember it was an early autumn. Some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} started to turn yellow and the weather got cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father's vest (背心) instead of {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. At that time, I was getting to have a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} size than my father, so when I put on the vest, I felt as if I wasn't able to breathe! I realized that it was a small mistake which was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. My mother said sorry with a smile, but I shouted at her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly that I made a hole in it. I put on my own vest and rushed out of the house {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my mother could stop me.

Later, my mother shared her bad feelings with my father, "See what your son has done." Instead of saying he would scold (责备) or beat me, my father {#blank#}7{#/blank#} asked my mother to mend (修补) the vest. Later when my mother told me about this, I felt ashamed (惭愧的). My father's gentle kindness {#blank#}8{#/blank#} me a lesson which I would never forget.

On that day, I decided not to let anger {#blank#}9{#/blank#} me any more. When I'm angry, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to remember my dad's vest. It reminds me to think about others' feelings when I'm angry.

Some problems are difficult to solve in our life. However, there are a lot of number expressions (表达) that can help. Today, I will talk about expressions about numbers.

Sometimes we can "kill two birds with one stone". That is to say, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action. But we must remember that "two wrongs don't make a right". If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.

When I was a young child in school, I liked learning Maths. My teacher used to "give me three cheers" when I did well in Maths, praising (赞扬) my hard work and good grades.

When I was in high school, some of my friends once had trouble doing their schoolwork. In fact, they did not care if they could finish high school. But it seemed that they really got a surprise when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were on cloud nine.

Nine times out of ten, students who do well in school often find good jobs. Some people work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. However, it's good to know happiness at work isn't just about money.

Sometimes a common job can make a difference. A man has been working hard at Peking University for 17 years，repairing（修理）almost 500 bikes. 

Lin Qinggang，from Xingtai，Hebei Province，he worked as a builder and sold bikes in Beijing. Then in 2017，Peking University built a small repair shop for Lin. 

In the past years，Lin's great services have won the hearts of teachers and students at Peking University. He always gets to his repair shop as early as he can. "If people come to take away their bikes and I'm not there，they will have to wait"

Students usually come over to Lin's shop to have their bikes repaired before and after lunch，so he is often busy during these hours and he has to finish his meals quickly. "I can____ have lunch on time，and usually have dinner at about 8 or 9 pm，and sometimes even at 10 pm"

"Some of my services were free，but the students still gave me money or paid more. They encouraged me to work harder，Lin said. 

Not everyone is born to be a great person. However，each of us might live a meaningful life like Lin.
