When I was in primary school, I had a big argument a boy in my class. l can't remember what it was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I was that I was right and he was wrong. However, he believed that I was wrong and he was right. The teacher decided to teach us a lesson. She came up with a good idea. She brought of us to the front of the class ,then she placed the boy on one side of her grey desk and me on .In the middle of the desk was a large, round object (物体). It was clear for me that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. "White," he answered in a loud voice. I couldn't believe that the object was white. One more argument started between the boy me, this time about the color of the object. The teacher told me to go where the boy was standing and told him to come where I had been. We changed and then she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White. " It was then that I what was wrong. It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his side it was white only, from my side it was black. My teacher taught me a very important 1esson that day: You must stand in other persons' position (位置) and look at the situation through their eyes truly understand their ideas.

I was so excited after I had found the holiday in the guidebook. It said, “Enjoy a week of sightseeing in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities 41 staying at one of its best hotels. ” Now I wasn’t so sure.

“Hello. This is Room 308. There isn’t any 44in my bathroom. ”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure!”
“I’ll 45 our hotel engineer at once. ”
An hour later, the engineer came to look at the 46 . He hit the pipes (水管) a few times and looked 47 . “Sorry, but I cannot fix it today. Maybe, tomorrow.” Then he 48 his hand. I couldn’t believe it! He wanted a tip (小费) for doing 49 ! I was very angry. But suddenly, I had a better idea. 50 , I gave the engineer a few coins.

Dear Jenny,
How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I’ve been back at school 41 nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great 42 have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say 43 to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to 44 the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we 45 the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans( 豆类) in our 46 time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to 47 you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon 48 we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near our school and ask people to 49 the traffic rules.
I think we are having a different school life now!
Please write back soon and tell 50 more about your school.
Yours,
Wang Wei

Arnold Pointer, a professional fisherman from the south of Australia, set free (释放) a big female white shark that was 1 in his large fishing nets. He thought she would have more and more babies. But now the fisherman is facing a(n) 2 problem. The white shark is so 3 to him that for nearly 2 years she hasn’t left him 4 . She even follows him everywhere. 5 this, Arnold Pointer can’t do fishing — all the fishes are scared at her, and he doesn’t know 6 to do anymore.
It is hard to drive away such an almost 17-feet-long shark for Arnold Pointer. We all know the white sharks are protected 7 the wildlife conservation. At the same time, some special feeling has been 8 between Arnold and “Cindy”, the name the fisherman has given the white shark.
Arnold says, “Every time I stop the boat, she always comes to me, turns on her back and lets me pet (抚摸) her body and neck. She sings, turns her eyes, and moves her fins (鳍) up and down, hits the water 9 .”
Cindy is 10 an interesting animal that Arnold has to try to go fishing in different places. Doesn’t Cindy know what her action means? Maybe she really doesn’t understand.

“Never give up!” It is my law(法则) of my life. It has brought me 16 . I learned the law from my father’s 17 story.
My father was 18in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then 19in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework 20 midnight. Life was hard, because they had no 21 !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where 22 people can become rich.
“ 23 don’t I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of hope.
So , my father came to America. “ I had thought it was easy to 24 money in America,” he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire（雇佣） me because I spoke 25 English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables,26 dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was 27 for the first few years. I worked from 10a.m to 11p.m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t 28 the schooling(学费).
My father 29 working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,” he often says to me, “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come 30in life.” That is what I learned from my father.
