This is a Chinese fairy tale (童话故事) about the fantastic bird Jingwei.

The Yan Emperor has a younger daughter {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(name) Nü Wa. She is a lively girl and enjoys 

 {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(play) in the sea. One day, she goes to the Eastern Sea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (find ) something new. As she goes much  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (far) away from the shore (海岸), the water becomes more and more violent(猛烈的). Big waves come one after another. After a serious fight {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the angry sea, the little girl loses all of her strength and drowns (溺水).

After she dies, her soul turns into {#blank#}6{#/blank#} bird called "Jingwei". Unlike usual birds, Jingwei looks like a crow (乌鸦) {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a white beak(喙) and red feet. It makes the sad sound "Jingwei" and gets {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(it) name from the sound. The little bird has a strange habit. It always carries small {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(stone) from the Western Mountains to fill up the Eastern Sea. And Jingwei won't stop {#blank#}10{#/blank#} she feels tired. Why does Jingwei do that? There are many ideas, but no one knows the real answer.

"Never give up!"It is my law(法则) of my life. It has brought me 1 . I learnt the law from my father's 2  story.

My father was 3  in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, and then 4  in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework and didn't sleep 5  midnight. Life was hard, 6  the family had no money!

At the age of , my father 7  the United States. It was the land of gold. and8  people could become rich there.

"Why don't I go to America?"he thought to 9  , full of hope.

So my father came to America."I had thought it was easy to 10  money in America," he told me."But when I arrived there, I realised it was not true. They did not like to hire (雇用) me because I spoke 11  English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, washing dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was 12  for the first few years, and I worked from am to pm. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn't 13  to go to school."

My father 14  working hard, and finally succeeded. He often says to me,"If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up."

Things do not come 15  in life. That is what I learnt from my father.

Little Sam goes shopping with his mom in the shopping center.He sees four mirrors in the center.Sam feels they are interesting and he is really interested in them.
