    One summer evening I was sitting by the open window， reading a good novel. I was so 1 the story I was reading that I didn't 2 that it was getting dark. When I realized that it was too dark for me to read 3 ， I put the book down and got up to turn on the light. Just then I heard someone 4 ， "Help! Help!" It seemed to come from the trees at the end of the yard. I looked out but it was too dark to see anything clearly. Almost immediately I heard the cry again. It sounds like a child， but I could not 5what someone would be doing in our backyard， unless one of my neighbor's children had climbed a tree and had not been able to 6.

    I decided that I should go out and have 7 in the yard， just in case someone was8. With a flashlight and a stick in my hands， I went out into the yard. Once again I heard the cry and this time there was no doubt that it came from the trees at the far end of the yard. "Who is there?" I 9 as I walked across the yard towards the trees. But there was no 10. With the help of my flashlight， I 11 all over that end of the yard， including the branches of the trees. There was no 12 of anybody or anything. I came to the conclusion that my 13 made fun of me， probably nothing is happening there.

    I had to go back into the house and sat down to read my book again. Not long after that， I was 14 by the loud cry of "Help! Help!" This time it was from right behind me! I dropped my book and jump up. There， sitting on the table was my neighbor's large green and red 15.

    Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. 1 together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I 2 lessons from his experiences. He always told me, "You should have goals like climbing the mountain." Without the mountains-climbing 3 we both enjoyed, we couldn't have enough time 4 together because my father was very busy. I 5 got a lot from mountain-climbing.

    Once we climbed a very 6 mountain. It was so challenging for me 7 I was only ten years old. During 8 first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing, but as time 9, I got a pain in both of my legs, I wanted to give up 10. In fact, I hated it at the moment, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the 11, but you can't see it 12 you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like 13 life."

    At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But 14 after that, I get new hope and confidence. I found 15 standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal(水晶)

    School volunteers don't get paid, but sometimes we get special gifts.

One morning, I was selling tickets to our school's evening performance. “I think it's 1that I have to pay to see my own child perform,” a parent said unhappily.

    “The school needs a voluntary donation (捐赠) to help 2 the scenery and costumes (服装),” I explained. "But 3 has to pay for the tickets. Of course you can have them for free."

    "Oh, I 4 pay," she grumbled (嘟囔), "Two adults and a child." She handed me a ten-dollar bill, and then I gave her the change and her tickets. That's the boy waiting behind 5emptied a pocketful of coins onto the table. "6?" I asked.

    "I don't need tickets," the boy said. "I've 7 seen the show. I arrived late last night and couldn't find anyone to buy tickets from, 8 I just walked in. I'm paying now, for last night."

    I pushed the coins back and said, "If the ticket table was 9, you didn't need to pay. Nobody knows the difference." However, the boy 10 to take back the coins. "I know the 11," he said before leaving.

    "Excuse me…" I looked up, 12to see the woman who had bought her tickets moments earlier. She was still there, with change and tickets in hand. "Why don't you 13 the change?" she said. "The scenery must be beautiful, and those costumes couldn't have been 14." She handed me a few dollars and left.

    Little did the boy know that he had given us both a special 15 that has more meaning than money.

    A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband. For many months she had liked a beautiful ring, and knowing her husband could1it, she told him that was all she wanted. On the morning of the birthday, her husband told her how2he was to have such a good wife, and how much he loved her. He gave her a beautiful gift package. She opened it and 3 a Bible(《圣经》).Angrily, she raised her voice and said to her husband, "With all your money, you give me a Bible？”She was so 4 that she left him.

    Many years passed and the lady was very5in business. She owned two large companies. She 6her husband was very old, and thought perhaps she could go to 7him. But before she could, she received a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions(财产)to her. She needed to come back and take care of things.

    When she arrived at his house, sadness filled her heart. She saw the 8 new Bible, just as she had left it years before. With tears in her eyes, she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring9from the Biole to the floor and a card could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words" LOVE YOU ALWAYS".

    10your gift is not packed in the way you want it, it's because it is better packaged in the way it is！Always appreciate little things; they usually lead you to bigger things! The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched for they must be felt with the heart.
