On a hot summer morning, an old fisherman was fishing near a river． A child went by seeing him fishing． After a few minutes, the child found that the fisherman was really good （1） fishing． Because he didn't spend long （2） a full basket of fish． As the fisherman felt that the child was clever, he offered him some fish． But the child （3） his head． The fisherman asked in （4） , "Why not want the fish？"
The child pointed at the fishing rod （杆） in his hands and said, "I only want that．"
"Why do you only want the rod ？"Asked the fisherman．
"Eating up all the fish you gave doesn't take long． But if I have a fishing rod, I can go （5） by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat．"
I think you will （6） say that the child is very cute． Wrong! I think if he doesn't know （7） to fish, he can't have fish to eat, even though he has the fishing rod． So it's （8） to only have a fishing rod． Fishing skills are the （9） important, not the fishing rod．
In modern society, some people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they'll （10） fear the wind and rain, just like the child who thought that if he had a fishing rod, he would have fish to eat．

Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things．I teach my daughters to d（76） a habit of helping others．
We live in a rural（乡村） area．Most of what we see is beautiful nature．One of the exceptions （例外） to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows．And there are no necessary public s（77） ．Such as rubbish collection．
A helping behavior（行为） that I often p（78） with my daughters is picking up rubbish in our neighborhood．My daughters often have a m（79） to see who can collect the most rubbish．They will often say to me in an excited voice，"There's some rubbish，﹣Daddy，stop the car!"Without t（80） more，we will often get out of the our car and pick it up．Though it may seem s（81） ，we do it．In fact，we enjoy it．We pick it up rubbish in parks，on sidewalks，almost a（82） ．
One day I saw a man I had never met before picking up rubbish on the road．I stopped．He r（83） his head and said to me with a smile，"I saw you doing this with your family．It's a good idea to protect our natural world．"
There are many other ways to p（84） kindness for others．You may share a dinner with a beggar（乞丐），visit lonely old people in the nursing home，or help the blind cross the street．You can think of something that can be finished e（85） but helpful．It is fun，self﹣satisfying，and what's more，it can set a good example．Helping others is helping yourself．
Having a pen pal is fun and can be a great way to improve your writing skills．But most people have trouble knowing what to write to their pen pals．（1）
（2） Break the ice by telling your pen pal a little about yourself．Start with your name，age and job．Write about what you like to do or what's on your mind that day．What you pass on will encourage your pen pal to tell you something about his．（3）
Ask questions（4） This will help you get to know him and probably get you a faster answer．Make your questions into the e﹣mail by telling him something you like to do and then asking if he's ever tried it．
Ask for advice．You may have some difficulties in your life and want to ask for advice．Your pen pal may tell you what to do．（5） Also，discussing real﹣world questions will promote（增进） your friendship．
|
A．Share you information． B．What do you think of having a pen pal？ C．And this will be helpful to start your friendship． D．Luckily，here are some ways to get to know a pen pal． E．Write questions for your pen pal to answer in his next e﹣mail． F．You don't have to take all his advice，but it will give your something about his opinions． |

He had a way of making his classes enjoyable．We always got the highest（5） in math in our grade with his teaching．If there was a big world ball game on the radio，we would（6） everything and he would put the game on so we could all enjoy it．
Teens often learn things on TV or film adults about world（7） that can make them scared．Now it is terrorism（恐怖主义）．Back in my teen years it was the Cold War．It worried me so much that I（8） each day would be my last．Mr．Templat knew how much it troubled his（9） ．He opened the subject up to discussion．He gave us a way to express our fears and helped us understand war and politics（政治）．
When I think back to those special days，I appreciate （感念） that he helped me go（10） such a difficult time in my life．
