When I was born, my doctor told my mother that there was something wrong with my 2 . They were too soft to be able to walk. Although the news was bad, my mother didn't become 3. She didn't believe what the doctor said 4 started to look for other ways.

My mother kept looking for 5 doctors for me, and finally she succeeded. The doctor and his team in the hospital tried many times and did 6 they could to help me. They also asked my parents to teach me to do some 7 to help me walk. One day, when my mother came to pick me 8 , I crawled（爬） towards her. She was so surprised and happy that she couldn't believe 9 eyes. Crawling was not walking, but it was a good 10 . Day by day, I could walk by myself.

When I grew up, my mother 11 told me these stories. She said that if I thought of what she said whenever I met difficulties, I could do anything successfully. I have been working 12 and I have turned out to be a very excellent person. I always get best 13 in all my subjects at school. What's more, I become a good dancer and swimmer. Thanks to my mother's strong resolution, I can live a happy life now. What the story tells us, as my mother always 14 , is: Never 15 , and the miracles will surely appear some day.

    There was a bookseller who did not like to pay for anything. One day a big box of books fell on his1 .

    His wife asked him to see the2and show it to him.

"No," he said, "I'll wait3 he comes to our shop next time. Then I'll ask him4 my foot. If I go to see him, I shall have to5."

The next day the doctor came to the shop to 6some books. The bookseller told the doctor about his 7foot. The doctor looked at it and then took out a piece of paper and wrote 8 on it. "Buy this and put it on the foot before you go to bed every night." he said.

"Thank you," said the bookseller. "And now, sir, here are your 9."

"How much?" asked the doctor.

" 10."

"Good," said the doctor. "I shall not have to pay you 11today."

"12?" asked the bookseller.

"I have examined your foot. I want two pounds13that. If people come to my house, I ask them to pay one pound for a small thing like that.14when I go to their houses, I usually charge (索价) two pounds. And I came here today, 15 I? Bye-bye!"

    David was ill. He went to see a doctor. The doctor asked him to1 his tongue (舌头), and then he said, “ OK. You can put your tongue back now. There's 2 wrong with you, but I'm afraid you have a problem, you never take 3.”

    “But, doctor,” David said, “I don't think so.”

    “Don't 4me what you think,” the doctor said, “I see a lot of people 5you. None of them get any exercise. They sit in offices all day and in front of the TV in the evening. You must walk quickly for at least 30 minutes a day.”

    “Doctor, you don't understand, ”David said, “ I take enough exercise every day. ”

    “I don't want to 6 any excuses,” the doctor said, “You must find time7 exercise. If you don't, you will get8 and have health problems.”

    “But I walk every day.” David said.

    “Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk9meters to the bus stop from your house, from the bus stop to your office, and from your office to your dining-room for lunch and back. That's not a real walk. I'm talking about a walk by the lake or in the park for 30 minutes every day. ”

    “Would you please 10 me, doctor?” David said, “I'm a postman. I walk for nearly seven hours every day.”

    For a moment the doctor was silent, then he said,“Can I see your tongue again?”

    I don't like to stay at home during holidays. Last summer, my family took a 1to Hong Kong. It 2an interesting trip.

    We went there by plane, because we wanted to get there quickly. We3 there at about eleven o'clock and we had lunch there. We ate the seafood. It was delicious. The weather was sunny and 4 so we swam in the sea. There were 5people on the beach.

    Disneyland is the place that I like best there, so we 6visited the Disneyland. It is a 7place. We stayed in Hong Kong 8a week. We took many photos and bought lots of souvenirs. And then, we went home9.We just10a good time.

    I enjoyed the trip. It was really a fantastic trip.

    When I was eight years old, my mother told me to put my coat on because we were going to go somewhere1. Usually, that meant we were going to see someone important. I would at least get a new toy. I asked which one it would be that day, and she told me that I would get something 2than a toy. She said I would get "access（通道）to a world of toys." I had no real idea what she meant. Did that mean we were buying a toy 3?

    But we did not end up at any toy store. Neither did we finally see anyone we knew.

    4, mother pulled her car into a parking lot in front of a building that looked like something out of the past. It didn't have a modern5at all.

    We took stone steps up to the entrance. Only then I found out what this place was, because there was a sign that 6"Marcy Public Library". We pushed the door open, and my mother led me to the front desk. "I'd like to get my daughter a library card", she told the man7the desk. He asked her to fill out a form. "What kind of books do you like to read?" he asked. I was too shy to 8. I only smiled. "Well, you'll find it out in time," he said. I do not remember9I picked out that day, but I know that in the years that followed I read through books on history, books of poetry, and books about art. The library opened up a world that I 10knew that day.

    So my mother was right. Getting a library card was like getting the access to a world of toys.
