A long time ago, there was a seed(种子). Because he was only a seed,1 noticed him. So the seed thought he was not important in the world.

One day,a wind2 and threw him on an open field in the sun. Later, he was given rain. Years later, another day he saw a traveller3  by his side.

“Thank you God for this, I can have a rest under the tree.”the traveller said.

“what are you talking about?”the seed4asked. He thought the man was5him. No one ever spoke to him like that.

“Who just spoke?" the shocked man asked.

“It's me. A seed.”

The man looked at the6. “Are you joking? You're not a seed. You are a big tree!”

“Really?"

“Yes! People often sit here. 7do you think people come here for? To fee1 your shade (树荫)! Don't tell me you didn't know you had grown over time.”  

The traveller's words brought him pride. The seed thought and 8 for the first time in his life. The years of tortune (折磨)9 the sun and the rain finally helped him10 “Oh! That means I'm not a little seed any more! I was actually born to make people feel comfortable. Wow! That's great.”

Mr. Jenkins liked all kinds of delicious food. As an important manager, he was often asked to dinner. The shopkeepers tried their best to fawn on（巴结）him. They knew it was good for their business. The manager got fatter and fatter. He could hardly go upstairs at home and had to sleep downstairs. He often felt tired if he walked or did some housework. He was worried about it and had to go to see a doctor. 

"Stop eating much fat （脂肪） and sugar, Mr. Jenkins, "or it will be worse for your health!" It was difficult for the manager to do it. He wouldn't do as the doctor said. Of course, he found something was wrong with his heart a few months later. Now he thought the doctor was right. And he had to be in hospital. 

"You must lose weight, Sir, " said the doctor

"Could you tell me a way to lose weight, please? "

"You must do exercise first. "

"Which exercise? "

"To move your head from side to side when you're invited to dinner!

Dogs are my father's favorite animal. He likes to watch the movies about dogs, and he also enjoys reading {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (小说) about them. 

He used to keep a pet dog for over five years. Unluckily, the dog was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(死的) in an accident in order to save him. It was a big shock to my father. Whenever the word "dog" was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(提到), his face turned pale. He became so silent. I was worried and wondered how to cheer him up. 

Finally, I decided to make a special {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (明片) for our dog. My mom was willing to help me. We collected all the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (材料) we needed. We used the tools such as knives and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(剪刀). As we wanted to keep it a secret, we had to do it bit by bit. Several days later, we got {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(确切地) what we wanted. To make it more meaningful, I even recorded a short {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(演讲) for the dog. When I gave the special gift to my father, he couldn't help crying. He kept {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(重复) the sentence I wrote "Long live the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(英雄) in our heart although they are gone. "We were glad to see light back in his eyes again. 

In 1742,a German mathematician( 数 学 家 )called Goldbach came up with {#blank#}1{#/blank#}new Maths problem.It was the famous/ Goldbach Conjecture(哥德巴赫 猜想).However,he himself couldn't solve it.Many other mathematicians tried, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}they all failed.

More than 200 years later,a Chinese mathematician named Chen Jingrun)found a way to partly solve the problem.The world was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(excite)about it. How could Chen succeed? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (he)talent was one reason,of course.But more{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (important),it was because Chen loved Maths very much.He spent all his life{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (solve)Maths  problems.Chen often studied very late at night.In order not to bother(打扰)others,he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (move)into a small room,which was only 6 square metres.There was no table or chair in it!Chen had to work on his bed,and all he had was a pen.With that pen,he wrote over 200{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(page)about the Goldbach Conjecture.Finally,the problem was solved to a certain degree, helping proceed(推进)with the work.

Once,an American university invited Chen{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(pay)a visit to it. During the four months,he stayed all the time in the university and he didn't travel anywhere.To save time,he ate noodles for each meal.Throughout his life,the only thing Chen cared about was Maths.Thanks to his perseverance and dill diligence,Chen progressed rapidly in Maths researches and his love{#blank#}10{#/blank#} Maths was finally rewarded:
