A Chinese student went to England to study by plane. His English name was Sun. It is spelt S-U-N, just   (1)  the word “sun”, the sun in the sky, is spelt.

England is a country with bad weather. It is often   (2)  and rainy, so the people there don’t get much sunlight in the year. When the Chinese student arrived at the London Airport, a tall Englishman   (3)  his passport to check the visa(签证), and was interested in finding the name “Sun” in the passport. So he said to the student, “I see your name is Sun. You are   (4)  here.”

The Chinese student felt surprised, “Is there  (5)  wrong with my visa? Do I have to   (6)  to my country?” “What?” shouted the Englishman, “No, we’ll never let you go away.”

The Chinese student was   (7)  . He was sure that he had been in  (8)  . So he asked again, “What has happened ? What have I done?”

It was then that the Englishman began to  (9)  . He said “You don’t know what you have done, Mr. Sun? You have brought   (10)  to England! So we don’t want you to go away.”

Mr. King lives in a city. He has some shops and gets a lot of money. His son, Mike, studies in a middle school. The boy doesn’t like   (1)   .So he doesn’t listen to his   (2)  in class and he never finishes his homework on time. He always plays football when he is  (3)  , and he can not pass the exams. His father has   (4)   time to stay at home and doesn’t know anything about it.

One day, Miss Read, Mike’s teacher   (5)  Mr. K ing on the telephone, and she told him everything about the boy. She wanted him to help the boy at home. The man heard this and wasn’t   (6)  . When his son came back from school, he gave him a good beating(痛打). But soon he felt sorry for it   (7)   he saw Mike crying in the bedroom. The next morning, before Mike went to school, he said, “Study hard, my son! I   (8)   you a car if you pass the exams next year.”

Another term (学期) was over. Mike didn’t pass the exams once more(又一次). Mr. King looked

  (9)   the school work and asked，“What did you do this term, Mike?”  “I learned to   (10)  a car，” answered the boy.

I always remember the last class I had in the university. On that day, our teacher said with a smile, “Today, let’s talk about   (1)   question.”

“Which is the highest mountain in the world?” Hearing this, everyone laughed. “That’s   (2)   . It’s Qomolangma.” “Then which is the second highest?” We looked at each other.   (3)    could answer it. Our teacher wrote the sentence——It makes no difference between the second place and the unknown on the blackboard.

“Someone wanted to boil water. When he made the fire, he found he didn’t have enough firewood. What should he do?” Some said he should go to find more,   (4)   said he should borrow or buy some. Our teacher said, “Why not   (5)   some water in the pot?”

“My last question---long long ago, there lived a man. He wanted to learn some useful skills  (6)      himself. Finally, he decided to learn   (7)    to kill dragons. He studied hard and practiced day and night. What would happen to him?” We all said he would become a hero who   (8)   by everyone. Our teacher shook his head and said, “This man will never be a hero, because there aren’t   (9)   at all.”

In this class, my teacher wanted us to understand how to be a man, how to do things and how to learn. Being a man is trying to be outstanding and the best so that others can remember you. When we do something, we should be brave enough to be creative and try to use different methods. When we study, we should know how to turn the knowledge   (10)    effective ability. There is no way behind closed doors.

Once, a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole. So it went around,looking for its  (1)  piece. But because it was not complete, it could only roll（滚）very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine  (2)   the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but   (3)  of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on   (4)  for the lost piece. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit   (5)  . The circle put the piece into   (6)  . It could be whole with nothing lost. It was so happy and began to roll. As it was a perfect circle. It could roll very fast. Too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad   (7)   it stopped. Left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled very slowly.

Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something. A man who   (8)   everything is poor in some ways. He will never have hopes dreams or something  (9)  . He will never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.

We couldn’t be perfect. But we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share   (10)   with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always have a wonderful time in our life.

Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed a boy ahead of him had dropped all of the books he was carrying. Mark helped the boy pick them up.   (1)   they were going the same way, he carried them for the boy. As they walked, Mark knew the boy’s name was Bill. Mark   (2)  discovered that he loved computer games, baseball and history and that he was having a lot of   (3)   with his other subjects.

They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in   (4)   Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed   (5)   with a few laughs and some shared small talk, and then Mark went home. They   (6)   to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice and then  (7)  ended up from the same high school. Just three weeks before they finished school, Bill asked Mark if they could have a talk.

Bill   (8)   him of the day years ago when they had first met. ‘Do you   (9)  wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?’ asked Bill. ‘You see, I   (10)   out my locker because I didn’t want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had planned to   (11)   from home and I was going home to pack my things. But after we spent some time together   (12)   and laughing, I realized that   (13)   I had done that, I would have   (14)  anew friend and missed all the fun we would have together. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more. You  (15)   my life.’
