  Long long ago, an elephant and a monkey   (1)  （live） in the same forest. But both of them were very proud. The elephant thought of   (2)  (he) strong, and the monkey felt himself quick. So one day they went to ask the old bird. But the bird didn’t give   (3)  (they) the answer at once. Instead he let them get some   (4)  (banana) on the other side of the river and bring them to him. So the elephant and the monkey went to the river, but the monkey couldn’t swim, so the elephant asked him to get on his back and swim   (5)  (cross) the river. After they got to the banana trees, the elephant found it hard   (6)  (reach) the bananas, but the monkey quickly climbed up the tree and  (7)  (pass) the bananas to the elephant.

Then they came back   (8)  (happy) to the old bird and showed him the bananas. “Now, you see, you two   (9)  (can) do the work

  (10)  (good) only when you helped each other.”

It’s necessary to discover what you are good at or not and what you like or dislike.

    Many students would be unhappy if they f (1) in a very difficult physics exam, but in f           (2) they have known a lot about themselves. They r (3) that they should not become engineers or physical scientists in the future. So failing can help a student to live a happier life if he or she draws something out of it. They may then decide on their aim（目标）and c (4) the kind of work that they would be fit for and they would like to do.

    You can’t be sure whether you like something u (5) you have tried it. If you

make a d            (6) that you would like to play the violin, you need to take more music classes b (7) you know if you are really interested in it.

    It is not e (8) to hope to be a violinist. You also have to stand（忍受）the hard practice before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great violinist, but hate the hard and

b (9) work, just give it up.

    It’s a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find o (10) what your true interests are.

Holding doors open for people behind you, picking up litter, thanking people … these acts of kindness s  (1)  very small. But students at No.1 Middle School know that such small acts make the world a better place.

    Eighth-graders from this school, took part in the Random(随机的) Acts of Kindness Week f  (2)   March 31 to April 4. During the week, they tried their best to do kind things for others. Murray, an English teacher at the school, started the activity. Since she was little, she has always tried to do small acts of kindness in her daily life. “I believe the world is c  (3)   by small things,” she told the newspaper The Daily Times. Over the week, to her surprise, Murray also saw great changes in her class.

    Before that, she always needed to ask her students to push the chairs in or turn off the lights before they leave the classroom. Now, the students do those things by t  (4)  . “The teachers have a lot of work,” said Jordon, one of Murray’s students. He learned to care more about others. Eliza, another student, gave out more praise to others. “It makes them feel happy and successful,” she said. The activity made students feel that they can make a difference. Murray decides to continue to do at l  (5)  one act of kindness every week, however busy she is. She believes her acts can encourage others.

  Sally was a waitress in a restaurant．She was always very careful．She had n   (1)   been late for work．In fact，he sometimes had to go home late because of much w   (2)   in the restaurant．But things didn’t always go well．

  On morning，Sally didn’t c   (3)   the bus and arrived late．The manager was usually pleased w   (4)  everything．But that morning he was very a   (5)   with her．Sally was really sad．A   (6)  putting away her handbag, Sally went up to the manager and said，“Have I ever been late? During the p   (7)  two years I have never been late once．You know that．Why are you shouting at me when this is the f   (8)   time I am late?”

  I’m sorry．I know you’ve always been on t   (9)  ．And you know I don’t always shout at late-comers this morning I have a terrible toothache．I just don’t f   (10)  )well．I am sorry．”

It was my first day at school. I felt nervous and f  (1)   . I went to all my classes with no friends. I l  (2)  anxiously(焦虑的) to all the lessons and waited for lunch break at one. Then finally the bell rang announcing the time to talk and have f  (3)  .

In the lunch line I met a new friend with a hijab (头巾) on her head, and though I am Jewish, we got a  (4)   fine, and I was so relaxed when she said, “Sit with us, at our table.” I agreed, took my dish and was about to walk with her w  (5)   I felt a soft push on my shoulder. “Hey,” said a tall girl in a long skirt. “I see your Jewish star necklace. You should sit with us.”

At that moment I looked around, and that’s when I noticed, to my surprise, the nations of the world, separating themselves from o    (6). That’s what I saw through my own e  (6)  . The Spanish only sat with Spanish, the Russians always with the Russians, but the Arabsn  (7)   with the Jews.

I saw the r  (8)  why war gets started. Everyone sticks to their own kind. The lunchroom was a map of the world. Why was everyone so blind? So I turned down this girl, and went with the first. I b  (9)   a bridge between two worlds when I sat with those different from me!

Karen was a social worker. Every day, on her way to work, she had to pass a place where many poor people lived. She had not paidmuch a  (1)  to it before. But this changed one day when she met a poor boy c  (2)   Ben. Ben knew she was the head of social service, and that she could h  (3)  . He reached out his hand and said, “Can you help me? I’m looking for my dad.” His hands were so c  (4)  . Karen asked, “What’s up?” “My mom is terribly sick. Her birthday is coming. I know my father’s coming back would be the best p  (5)  . My dad had left us before I was two years old,” said the boy.

Karen was deeply moved and asked Ben to take her to his home. He led her to a small house. Karen saw a woman l  (6)  in bed. The woman knew she was dying. She said to Karen, “Please find a h  (7)   for my son.” Karen took her hand and nodded with tears (眼泪). She got an i  (8)  ! Her husband and she had no children, and looked forward to having o  (9)  . Later Karen brought Ben home. Ever since then, the new family have had h  (10)   and laughter.

In New York City public school.176 different languages are spoken among more than one million students.For 160,000 children, English is not their first language．New York’s Department of Education makes learning   (1)  （更好）for these students by providing dual﹣language（双语）programs．Students are taught in two languages，English and   (2)  （另一个，另一种）one，such as French，German or Japanese，Math，social studies，science and all other regular courses are taught in both languages.And they learn about the   (3)  （文化）of the other country．

Milady Baez，a headmaster，says these dual﹣language programs will help children succeed in the future．“The jobs of the future   (4)  （要求）that our students know more than one language．They’re going to travel   (5)  （在国外）and communicate with people from all over the world．This will open doors for them.”

Shuya Zhang   (6)  （教）a dual﹣language class．She says, “America started economic relationships with China.Lots of factories were   (7)  （建造）．companies moved to China．They need people with both language skills.”

Anna，a Russian girl came to America   (8)  （当......时）she was two years old．She says the Russian-English program keeps her connected to her heritage and her parents happy．

Nowadays，more and more   (9)  （外国人）come to China．Perhaps in the future your school will also provide them with the dual-language program．
