Almost each Chinese child has heard or read Journey to the West﹣one of the most famous Chinese（1）　　（tradition） classics． All of them like the main character﹣the Monkey King or Sun Wukong． However， it wasn't popular（2）　　1970s in England． In November 1979，pupils in England were able to watch a new program called Monkey．Most of them were hearing this story for the（3）　　（one） time．

The Monkey King isn't（4）　　usual monkey． In fact， he sometimes doesn't even look like a monkey! This is because he can make seventy﹣two changes to his shape and size，（5）　_　（turn） himself into different animals and objects． But unless his tail（6）　　（hide）， he can't turn himself into a man．（7）　　（fight） bad people， the Monkey King uses a magic stick． Sometimes he can make the stick small enough to keep it in his ear． At other times， he can make it big and long．

（1）　　She couldn't think carefully about she's learning， and often found herself unable to keep still because she was bored． Her mother was quite worried about her．She took Lynne to a doctor．For 20 minutes， she talked about the problems Lynne was having in school．（2）　　As they left the room，the doctor turned on the radio． He then said to Lynne's mother，"Just stand and watch her．"（3）　　 The doctor then turned to Lynne's mother and said，"Mrs. Lynne，your daughter isn't sick．She's a dancer． Take her to a dance school．"

So she did．（4）　　Lynne later went to the Royal Ballet School，one of the world's greatest dance schools， and became a great dancer．

After leaving the school，she worked on some of the most successful musicals in history．（5）　　．

On Saturday morning， every boy in town is happy， except Tom Sawyer． He has to paint the fence because he （1）　　（punish）for the mistakes he made yesterday． The fence is at least nine（2）　　（foot）high and runs nearly half the block long． After only a few strokes， he sits down and begins to think of all the fun he has planned for the day． He knows that the painting （3）　　（take）up all afternoon． Even （4）　　（bad）， other boys will come by soon and see him （5）　　（do）his chores． Just then， Ben Rogers comes along the road with an apple in his hand． Tom has an idea． He picks up his brush and goes back to work．

"No， I'm sorry． Aunt Polly says there isn't one boy in a thousand that's fit to paint the fence．"

"Come on， Tom． Let me just try， please…I'll give you my apple!"

Tom considers a moment longer． Then very slowly he hands the brush over to Ben．Sitting under a shady tree，Tom eats the apple and watches Ben paint the fence in the hot sun．He thinks he（10）　　（discover）something wonderful since then： To make a boy want something， all you have to do is make that something hard to get!
