Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.
When he was 12 years old, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed to him.
His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not to it. He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. One of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to , she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” She said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. It was the first time that he had heard such kind words. He watched her she went far away, and then he whistled（低语）to his dog and went directly to the river .
“Thanks, dear! You are a nice little boy!” He repeated what the woman said. Then in a low he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog.” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.
“Hmm! Even a dog likes it!”he said. “Well, Tige, I won’t say anything unkind to you .” Tige waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he saw a nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he started a new life.
After telling this, the businessman said, “This is the very place in which that kind woman planted the first seed of kindness in my heart.” What a great it has!

One Monday morning, I was standing waiting for the train and suddenly felt ill. I couldn’t stand still, and the world began to sway（摇摆）and then went black. All I heard was “Oh, my God, she’s falling. ”The next thing I 31 was that the doctor was asking me my name. This happened 32 I was too tired. I was so busy cleaning my new house that I didn’t eat33 last weekend.
The doctor told me that a gentleman waiting for the 34 saw me fall down. He got to my side 35 , and told others to call 120. He stayed with me 36 the ambulance（救护车）arrived. Then he went with me to the hospital, which made him 37 his train. The doctor told me the gentleman didn’t want to leave his name.

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 26 you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only 27 friends leave footprints (脚印).
I shall always think of the autumn and the girl with the 28 . It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 29 in the cool wind. Autumn is a harvest（丰收）season and life is uninteresting. The free days always let 30 down. But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 31 in playing her violin. I had 32 seen her before. The music was so nice that I didn't know I had been 33 there for so long.
Every day I went to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 34 . I thought we were already good friends, 35 we didn't know each other.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly
36 . To my surprise, the girl came over to me.
“You must like violin.” she said.
“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
37 , a sad expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 38 me.” she said.
“ 39 , it was your playing that gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.” The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. But I will always remember the girl. She is like a dream—so short, so bright, like a star giving off so much light that it makes the 40 beautiful.

Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He ______32______ that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach his students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.
First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to ______33_______. Other letters, such as C, were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.
The next thing they learned was finger spelling. They signed one letter after another to spell a word. They ____34_______ with two-letter words such as at and on. Then they spelled ___35_______ words.
Finally, Mr. Klein showed that ___36_______ one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand, ___37___ the thumb to the chest, and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just ___38______with the hands. Expressions on the face are also ___39_____. The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.

One in four Chinese primary school students say they are too busy to eat fruit every day, while many dislike fruit for the simple reason that their __16__tell them to eat it.
That is the result of a recent survey __17__the Chinese Association for Student Nutrition & Health Promotion(中国学生营养和健康促进协会), who last month issued a questionnaire among 1,500 children in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. They__18___ 28 percent didn't eat fruit every day and of those who did, one in seven did not eat enough.
Among students who didn't eat fruit every day, 50 percent said it was because they "didn't have time" and 40 percent of those who didn't like fruit said it was because "my parents____19___ me to".
"Fruit is a natural source of many nutritional elements(营养元素), can balance a person's nutritional intake and help to ___20___overweight(超重)," says Association director Du Yuxia.
He says about 20 percent of primary school students in Beijing and Guangzhou are overweight, while the figure is __21___30 percent in Shanghai.
Hu Xiaoqi, a nutrition expert with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), believes a student should eat at least 150 grams of fruit a day. Moreover, fruit juice is not an adequate substitute because the fruit __22__ contains more fiber and vitamins than juices, which are usually high in sugar and contain preservatives.
Hu says primary school students should be encouraged to eat one or two fruits every day. ___23___many students found they didn't have time to eat fruit before breakfast or in the evening, they should be encouraged to ___24__fruit to school and eat it during class breaks . Finally, she suggests that parents encourage their children to eat fruit, instead of forcing them.
Ma Guansheng, deputy ___25____of the CDC's Nutrition and Food Safety Institution(营养和食品安全机构), says: "6-12 years old is a crucial time for physical development. Children at this age need an adequate and balanced nutritional supply to guarantee the normal growth of the body."

Monday morning is an important time at our school. All of the students go to the playground. We listen to music, and we 16 the national flag go up.
Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings. One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk. He was 17 and excited! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too.
Can I really do it?
Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk. My teacher 18 me, “I know you want to have a try. Next Monday, you can give the talk. Go and write something down. 19 for it, I’m sure you’ll do well.”
“Thank you,” I answered. It was such a great 20 for me! When I got home, I was excited. I wrote two pages for the talk. I read them again and again. When I read, I asked my parents 21 . I wanted to make my teacher happy.
Monday morning came. I began to feel 22 . When did I last give a talk to 23 many people? Never! This was my first time. Could I really 24 it ? Maybe I couldn’t finish the talk.
When I got to school, we all went out to playground. I 25in front of everyone. I opened my mouth, but I couldn’t say anything.
“Take it easy,” I said to 26 . “Don’t be nervous. You can do it.”
Just then, I looked down at everyone. I saw about 1,000 eyes. They were all looking at me ! I couldn’t 27 stand up.
I looked at their eyes more carefully. Their eyes were saying, “You can do it! Don’t be afraid, just talk!”
I 28a big breath. Then I began to talk. It wasn’t hard. It was easy.
I don’t know 29 I finished my talk. But I did it. I felt so good that day. I showed myself30 everyone what I can do.
