One day, a farmer took a bag of wheat（小麦） to town. He didn't know what to do when the bag fell off his horse. The bag was too heavy for him to lift. He hoped that someone would come and help him.

    Before long a man came over. But the farmer's heart sank when he saw the man, because he was the famous judge（法官） in town. The farmer was afraid to ask him for help.

    As soon as he came up to the farmer, the judge got off his horse and said, “You need my help, don't you? Let me help you，” Then he took one end of the bag, the farmer took the other. They lifted the bag of wheat onto the horse.

    “Sir” asked the farmer, “how can I pay you?”

    “Well,” the judge replied, “if you see anyone in need of help, do the same for him,”

    Jennie sat at her window as usual， looking out upon the street， with a look of sadness on her face， “what a long day this is going to be!”

    Then she saw a little boy running down the street， swinging his schoolbag. Looking up to the window， he took off 1 hat and bowed with a bright， pleasant smile.

    “What a nice 2 ， ” said Jennie to herself， as the boy ran out of sight. “It seems like having the sunshine. I wish everybody who goes by would look up 3 smile.

    George， the little boy， told his mother about that 4 girl when he got back home， “she looks so helpless. I wish I could do something for her.”

    “Why not give her some 5?”said his mother. George agreed.

    The next morning， as Jennie 6 at the window again， she saw George with a handful of beautiful flowers carefully picking his way across the street. He stopped in front of her window， smiling pleasantly， and said， “can I come in?” Jennie told him 7 to get into the house. Opening the door to Jennie's gentle “come in”， George said， “I've brought you some flowers.”

    “Are they for me?”said Jennie 8. “How kind you are，” she continued， as George put the flowers on her lap. I've 9 received any flower since we moved to the town.”“Did you live in the countryside?”asked George， 10 the old， small and empty room.“Yes，” said Jennie.

    Jennie used to have a happy family and live in a beautiful house in the countryside. However， she lost her right leg in an accident. She 11 walk like other people any longer. Later， her father died， and her mother was sick 12 so many years that their money was all gone. They sold the house， and moved here to get work to do.

    George told his parents 13. They decided to help her. More and more people in the 14 gave Jennie friendly smiles when they passed by her house. She was greatly cheered up. A few months later， Jennie and her mother 15 a flower shop. People could always see Jennie sitting in the shop， having a lovely smile on face.

    My father was sick badly,so he needed a lot of help to do the everyday things.

    Dad was sitting in his old armchair and listening to the radio when I arrived.He 1and smiled.

    “What's new,Jim?”he said,2 I sat down on the sofa.

    I wanted to tell him all about my problems at work,3I couldn't seem to find the works.4 he think that I was a failure,out of work at 58?”Nothing much,”I said,finally.He told me lots of family news.He was in 5 spirits.Then it was time for Dad to 6 his medicine.

    “I'll get it,”I said.I went into the kitchen and7a glass of water from the fridge.I found a red apple in the kitchen.I cut it into small slices,put them on a plate.He was very 8 and looked as if he were going to cry.

    “Dad?What's the matter?”I asked.

    “9 has cut me an apple like that since your mother died,”he said.”it's just like what she used to do.”I shut and opened my eyes quickly to bring 10 the tears.I couldn't let myself cry in front of him.

    Ever since I was ten years old, I have decided to do everything on my own though I couldn't really understand them.

    When I was young , I always 1 the summer holiday with my grandfather at the mountain farm in Western Norway (挪威). 2 my grandfather had to work all day himself, he could spare some time for me.

    One day my grandfather said to me, "Come. I have a toy boat for you." I followed him to a workroom 3. However, nothing like that was there 4 a block of wood. "Is that the boat…?" I asked curiously. "No one can give you what you do for 5. With your own hands, you'll make it out of wood. Then it will be the 6 boat in your heart." Finally, I finished it with his help. Seeing the boat 7 in the lake Storvassdal, I felt 8 and thought everything nice around me.

    Good times don't last long. I had to 9 to America. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal. Moreover, I didn't know that was the 10 time I saw my grandfather.

    Years later, I returned to the mountain farm with my parents and children. I searched for my boat, but 11. I was about to 12 when I touched something different under a big rock. Luckily, I found the boat which 13 grandfather and me. Holding it, I felt my grandfather was there and we 14 were together again.

    As time went by, each time I held the boat, I carved (刻) the year. My grandfather seemed 15. I went on the last trip to the farm with my grandchildren. High in the mountain, I hope they would understand the importance of the boat and its simple sign of self-reliance (自立).

    Do you like playing football? It is so popular among boys nowadays. Johnny, a twelve-year-old boy, 1 likes it very much. He used to 2 it in his room. His parents were very angry and told him several 3 not to play football at home because he could break 4, but he never listened.

    Last Sunday, his 5 went out for a walk and Johnny couldn't help playing football again. He was enjoying his game in the living room 6 his parents came in and saw him.

    “Oh, my God, Johnny, you know that playing with your ball at home is not 7. We are very 8 about you and are going to give your ball to another kid. You should obey(遵守)the rules 9 you are at home." Johnny's father said.

    Johnny felt very sad. He 10 that it was his mistake. He decided to obey the rules later, not only at home, but also at school.
