Thirteen-year-old Cindy had been bullied (欺凌) at school for about two years. Her bag, keys and mobile phone had been stolen. She had also been knocked off her bicycle, kicked and punched (以拳重击).

    Cindy tried to fight back, but it always seemed to be her, not the bullies, who got into trouble. She became so afraid of going to school that she started to be absent from her classes.

    Finally, her headmaster set up a special plan, asking students to look after one another. He gave Cindy the courage to play the guitar in a school concert, which gave Cindy new confidence and helped her receive respect from the other students. Gradually, the bullying began to stop.

    Cindy's story is not uncommon, but help is out there. All schools in the UK now have to follow strict bullying policies (政策). There are many charities and organizations giving support to young people, such as Bullying UK and Childline. So remember one very important piece of advice: If you are being bullied, don'tput up with it—tell someone.

    As two women walked into a New Jersey hospital, they laughed. It showed the love that had held them together1 forty years as best friends. Although they were laughing, one of these ladies would soon put her life in danger2her best friend.

    Patty Hurley and Eileen Riley met at high school and have been close friends ever since. But when Eileen,3nurse, became ill with kidney (肾) disease, she didn't go running to her friend—Patty came to help her, after4Eileen was sick. "My kidneys are failing," Eileen explained.

    "Can I give you one of mine?"5the immediate reply.

    The offer was so simple6Eileen thought she had heard wrong. But Patty repeated she was willing to help, and their journey to the operating table began.

    Eileen always knew that her friend would help. She said7, "When Patty makes a promise, she keeps8."

    The operation went ahead in May, and both women are now very healthy and9than ever.

    "There are no words to describe10amazing this woman is," Eileen said afterwards. "She gave me my life."

One day a little boy asked his father, "What does the word ‘great' mean? Who are great people and 1 do they become great? "

The father asked his son to bring two plants and then told him to plant one of them 2 the house and the other outside the house. The boy did as his father said.

The father asked his son, "Which one of the two plants do you think will be  3  and bigger? " The boy replied, "The plant inside the house will be safer,  4  it will grow bigger, while the plant outside the house is not safe at all. No one will be there to  5 it. It may be eaten by animals."

The father smiled and said, "Let's wait  6 .We will know the answer."

Then the boy  7  for study and after four years he came back to his house. He said to his father, "Look, 8 happens to this plant inside the house and it is safe."

When the boy went outside, he was very  9  to see a big tree. The boy couldn't believe his eyes. He couldn't  10 how the plant outside was able to grow much bigger than the plant inside the house.

"The plant outside the house faced four  11  and many difficulties!" the father  12  to his son why the plant outside was bigger. "The plant inside was safe, it didn't face weather changes, and it didn't get proper  13 , so it didn't become big."

Here is the  14  to the question about being great:  15 a great person, one must have failed many times, experienced many difficulties and overcome those difficulties. After that, he is able to become great.

Children's Day is next Sunday, but Dong Fei is not happy. Her father is in Beijing. He is very busy and can not come back to Nanjing. Now, Dong Fei is in her room with Lin Min, her cousin. Dong Fei says,"I don't think I'm important(重要的) to my father. He is always busy with his work. Next Sunday is Children's Day. But he can not come back."

The telephone rings and Dong Fei goes to answer it. It's from her father." Feifei, can you come to the airport(机场) at 4:00 next Sunday afternoon? I can be there for only an hour. I have something for you."

" Yes, Daddy! Yes!" says Dong Fei.

After Dong Fei puts down the telephone, her cousin says," Well, I think your father really loves you. What about you? Do you love him?"

" Yes." says Dong Fei.

" Well, do you know it's Father's Day today?" Liu Min says.

" Oh, what? I'm so sorry." says Dong Fei.

"What's wrong, Suzie?" asked Dad. "Why are you looking so unhappy?"

"It is just that Amine's family has moved to Sydney," cried Suzie. "She will go to a new school there, make new friends, lead a new life and… and{#blank#}1{#/blank#} me." Suzie couldn't speak any more with tears in her eyes.

Dad held Suzie's small hand in his large one and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} patted（拍）her on the head.

"It's OK, Suzie," he said. "I am sure you will find another friend. There are so many other children at school, aren't there?"

"But… but it is not the same! Amine is my special friend— the best friend I have ever had. I don't want to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} without her."

"Now, dear, it is really sad to see Amine going away. But you have to move on with your {#blank#}4{#/blank#} life. Listen to me, go to school and get yourself some new friends. Cheer up!"

Suzie nodded her head and began reading her storybook.
