There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for competitions（比赛）. He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup（银杯）for the Rose of the Year.

    Mr. Flowers' glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted（引诱）to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flowers' glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.

    But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. He had even picked up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.

    At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice（布告）made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.

Love reading, enjoy life

I like reading very much.

Zhou Yichen, 11, is a primary school st udent from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province. In July, he got to the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of Mount Elbrus. The mountain in Russia（俄罗斯） is 5,642 meters high. And it's the highest mountain in Europe（欧洲）.

The boy climbed（攀爬） the mountain with his father in five hours. "It was difficult. I thought I would fail（失败）, but I made it. I'm so {#blank#}2{#/blank#}," Yichen said.

Zhou Shuangliu, Yichen's father, is an outdoor lover（户外爱好者）. He climbed Mount Qomolangma in May. Together, they got to the top of the Siguniang Mountain in Sichuan Province twice - when Yichen was 9 and 10 years old. To prepare（准备） for their latest trip, Yichen ran 5 kilometers twice a week and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} every week.

"In the past, my son often played games when holding a phone. I told him that he could use the phone {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, because one day he will need it for climbing in other countries. And he really started learning English on his phone," says Zhou Shuangliu.

Yichen developed（培养） a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} interest in mountain climbing from his Russian experience（经历）. He hopes to get to the top of the 6,178 - meter Yuzhu Peak in Qinghai Province next summer.

Good afternoon, boys and girls. My1 is Cherry King. I am  from the USA, but now I am 2 China. My father and mother are here, too. I am a3 school student. I have some good 4 at school. They are very  friendly ( 友 好 的 ) and  5 to me. I like them very much. Please look here. What  is  this? Oh, it is my6 . My mother buys the jacket for me. The 7 of it is red and yellow. And what's that? It's a cup. Is it8 cup, too? No, it is my brother's. It is blue. He has9 cups. One is blue and three are white. I have one cup. It's green. 

My phone10 is 467-0936. Do you want to make friends with me?

Thousands of miles from the Earth, in outer space, is a small planet, Fliptune. It is dark and cold, far from the Sun, behind a much bigger planet. Little green aliens (外星人) live there. They use torches (手电筒) to see. 

One day, a young alien, Neila, put the wrong batteries (电池) in her torch. 

Suddenly (突然), there was bright light. It went up into the sky, around the Sun and reached the Earth. 

The light hit a boy called Billy and his dog. Neila quickly turned the torch off, but the pair were caught by the light. They flew through space and landed near Neila. 

"Hello, " said Billy. Neila smiled. 

"Wow!" said Billy, "Everything's made of ice cream!"

"The ice cream never melts, and nobody eats it. It's too cold here, " said Neila. 

Neila looked sad. "Can you help us?" she said, "We need sunshine to make things grow. "

"No problem, " said Billy, "Can you get us home? I have an idea. "

"Wait there!" said Neila. She got her torch, put the wrong batteries in again——ZOOM! Billy and his dog flew back to the Earth. 

Billy pointed his bedroom mirror (镜子) between the Sun and Fliptune. The sunlight bounced off(弹出) the mirror and up onto Neila's planet. 

Thanks to Billy, Fliptune is not cold any more. Billy moves the mirror every day to keep the sun shining there. Now Neila and her friends sit in the sun and enjoy all the free ice cream. 

August, a 10-year-old boy, lives with his parents and sister in New York. August is a common boy in many ways. He likes riding a bike and playing video games. But he was born with facial deformities (畸形) and so his face looks very different from others.

August's first year at school was difficult. Most people were afraid of him and stayed away from him. But he never gave up on himself and never lost hope.

Later, a girl named Summer reached out to him and wanted to be his friend. That was the first time he felt kindness from friends.

Then a surprising thing at a school camp changed everything. People found how brave he was and how hard it was for him to get along with others, and they began to understand him.

This is the story in Wonder. The book was written by R. J. Palacio. Kindness is its main theme (主题). From the book,I learn a lot: A small, simple act of kindness can make a big difference and we all are able to practise kindness.
