Yesterday I read a report on a charity show in a newspaper. The aim of the show was to  1money for the poor children. In the country areas, some children are out of school 2their parents can't pay for their education.

    To my surprise, many famous performers took part in the charity show, such as Andy Liu, Jay, Faye Wang, Kitty Chen and so on. The stars didn't ask for any pay. They did it for3  ! There were a lot of performances   4   singing and dancing. The audience were so excited that they 5 their hands from time to time. Of course, the show was a success.

    All the people followed the stars' example. A great number of people showed their generosity(慷慨) in    6   their money to the show. Both the ticket money and the donated money were soon sent to the poor areas and some of the poor children can get back to  7   now.

    Now many charity shows are held in our country, not only to8  education in poor areas but also to help people in trouble. As the Chinese saying goes, "All the others will come to one's rescue(援助)  9one is in trouble. ''I  10 the whole world will become better if every one of us gives charity to others.

    Johnson was already in 5. He said," It is late. What do you want?" Joy answered," I want you to write a letter to my 6." When Johnson heard that, he was not 7. He thought for a while and then said," Does the letter have to go 8?"

    "What does that matter?" answered Joy.

    " Well, my writing is very strange, 9 can read it except(除了) me. And it will cost you a lot of money 10 I have to go a long way to read the letter to you wife." Hearing these words, Joy went away.

    Do you think doing housework is a hard task for you? Have you ever thought of inventing something to make it 1? A boy named Sam Houghton did and he 2 a two-head broom (扫帚).

    Sam was just three years old when he came up with his 3. He saw his father sweep up (打扫) garden leaves and 4 brooms while trying to gather large leaves and litter.

    Now he is the poster boy for a new show at the British Library in London called "Inventing the 21st Century." To celebrate 5 and encourage new inventors, the famous 6 is telling the story of the most special inventions coming out of Britain in the past 10 years. Sam's broom is produced by big companies, and the brooms are very7 in England.

    Young Sam Houghton is now eight years old and has another invention. He has made a balloon popping machine (气球爆破装置) for play centers. He said, "We don't want children to cry because of 8 bangs (爆炸声) of balloons. I used a box to 9 the bangs so that they can't scare (惊吓) the children."

    Have you ever wanted to be a great inventor? Watch 10, think it over and work hard. Maybe you will be an inventor. Do you think so?
