    ①He was 11 years old and went fishing every chance he got at his family's small house on an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.

    ②On the day before the bass(鲈鱼)season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish and the bass with worms. Before long, when his fishing pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched him with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the bank and he very successfully lifted the exhausted fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.

    ③The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, the fish jumped up and down in the moonlight. The father looked at his watch. It was 10 P. M.-two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. "You will have to put it back, my son.” he said.“ I have never seen such a big fish before.” cried the boy“ There will be other fish." said his father. The boy looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by his father's voice that the decision couldn't be changed. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the water.

    ④That was 34 years ago. And he has never again caught such a beautiful fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see the fish again and again-every time he comes up against a question of ethics(伦理). For, as his father taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.

    ⑤We would if we were taught to put the fish back when we were young. For we would have learned the truth. The decision to do right lives fresh in our memory. It is a story we will proudly tell our friends and grandchildren.

    Mr. Jones had a nice Brown coat. He loved it very much, but his wife didn't like it. Because it was old. She often said." Give it to a poor man." But Mr. Jones always answered," No, I like this coat. "

    Then a cigarette（香烟） fell on it and made a hole in it. So Mrs Jones said, "Please don't wear it again." Mr. Jones took it to a small tailor（裁缝） "Please make another coat like this one." The tailor made the coat very carefully. Then he lit （点燃）a cigarette, and made a hole in it in the same place.

It was the first time that Maddie saw her new ear. "I have something really helpful {#blank#}6{#/blank#}you. This is your new big ear. "The doctor explained to her how she had got her new ear，surprising the girl a lot.

In Chinese culture, a baby's first month birthday needs a celebration. It is a big event for the family, who usually have a big meal together. I found this out after going to my 1  Heng Yi's first month party. 

All of us went to a big 2  in Orchard Road to celebrate. On the way there, I realised that we hadn't 3  a present for Heng Yi. My mother told me that for the first- month celebration, instead of a present, we should give the baby a red packet(红包) with 4  inside. But to me, a baby would like a toy better than money that he 5  use yet. 

When we got there, there were 6  many people. We pushed our way through the crowd(人群) to 7  Heng Yi and his mother, Aunt Eng. We hadn't seen Aunt Eng 8  she gave birth to the baby. Heng Yi was very small and had a round red face. He didn't cry and was very 9 ! It seemed that he was always listening to us. Throughout the evening, everyone 10  the mother and her baby. 

After the big dinner, Aunt Eng and Uncle Loke gave each family a hard-boiled egg dyed(被染色的) 11  as gifts. The eggs are a symbol of happiness and new life, and red is a 12  colour in Chinese culture. 

Mum told me, "In ancient China, only a few babies could live over one month, 13  the first month party was important. " Later that night, Mum even took out many old photos and showed me pictures from 14  own first-month celebration. I was so glad to see what I looked like then. 

As I went to bed that night, I thought about the children in 15  times, and I was thankful that life was much easier and better today. 

I will never forget my first English class. It was very interesting. It was the first class in the morning. The teacher went into the classroom with a smile on his face. At the beginning, he made a self-introduction. And he told us that his name is John Brown. Then he asked all of us to think of English names for ourselves. We were very glad to find a good name. 

Then he asked us to write down our names on a piece of paper. I thought about my English name for a long time. Then I thought of a beautiful name—Shirley. All the students wrote down their names and gave the paper to the teacher. When the teacher called"Shirley" to answer his question, five girls stood up at the same time.
