As a famous piano master, Paderewski was admired by many people. Wishing to make progress on the piano, one day, a boy (1) to a Paderewski's concert by his mother. After they were seated, the mother saw a friend and walked up to greet her, leaving the boy alone in (2) seat.
Catching the chance to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy stood up and finally made his way through a door (3) was marked "No Admittance(进入)". Soon, the hall got dark and the concert was about to begin. When the mother (4) to her seat, she discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly the lights focused on the piano on the stage. In surprise, the mother found her little boy sitting at the piano. (5) knowing where he was, the boy was picking out Twinkle, Twinkle, Little star.
At the moment, the great piano master appeared, moved to the piano (6) , and whispered (耳语) in the boy's ear, "Don't stop. Keep playing." Then he sat down and added a running obbligato (伴奏). Together, the old master and the young beginner changed an embarrassing situation into a wonderfully creative experience. It became one of the (7) parts of the whole concert that evening. The people were touched so much by the master and the mother was shocked. She believed that such an experience would make a big (8) to her boys' life.
In fact, that's the way it is in life. What we can do on our own is hardly unusual. We tried our best, but the (9) aren't exactly smooth music like what we have expected. But when we trust in the hands of a greater power, our life's work can be truly beautiful.

Have you ever heard of friendships among animals? At a zoo in Germany, an unusual friendship developed (1) a cat and a bear.
No one is quite sure how the friendship first began.One day,some(2) (worker)in the zoo noticed a black cat was in the bear's cage(笼子),and the two animals were playing together peacefully.They were surprised (3) well the small cat seemed to get along with the large bear. The bear keeper allowed the cat to stay with the bear. And later the pair and their unusual friendship(4) (become)a hot topic at the zoo.
After several years, a new cage (5) (build) for the bear. However, the cat was still in the same cage, so it walked around (6) (angry) and cried to be with the bear. The bear keeper finally took pity on the cat(7) let it stay with the bear. The cat and the bear got(8) (close) than before. They often sat together and shared meals in (9) sun.
Sometimes it may be natural for animals (10) (have) their own ideas about who would make a good friend. These may surprise humans, who usually expect animals to form relationships with others of the same species.

I would thank it if my family members could leave their mobile phones at home,(4) (尤其) when we get together. Every time we eat out, my son and his wife are always busy checking and replying to emails, while my (5) (孙子) plays online games or texts his friends all the time. We only talk to each other when the waiter(6) (给……看) us the menu. A family get﹣together is supposed to draw everyone together to have fun, but mobile phones(7) (引起) people less attention on each other. ﹣﹣Thomas miller |
My mobile phone is(8) (有帮助的). I use it to check my calendar and to keep in touch with others. The idea of not having it around worries me. (9) (一次) I left my phone at home and I couldn't pay attention to my work at all. My (10) (同伴) in my office have the similar experiences too. ﹣﹣Alex Watson |

A better town for teenagers
I believe there are many things that we can do to make life in our town a lot better for teenagers.
First of all, I think more bike lanes should(1) (build). A lot of teenagers in my town bike everywhere, (2) it's very dangerous because there is a lot of traffic. If there are more bike lanes in the future, it will be much (3) (safe) for us.
(4) (two), I believe that we need more places for teenagers to go to. (5) my opinion, teenagers won't cause problems in the street if there are more places for us to go to. So we need more(6) (club) and other places where we can meet.
Thirdly, teenagers here need more sports facilities. There (7) (be) places to play ball games so far like tennis and basketball, but what about other sports,(8) skating and rollerblading?
Finally, I'm sure we'll make the town better(9) we don't drop litter. If we all do something(10) (help) now, our town will be much better for everyone in the future.
