I love to tell the story about how I met my best friend---- Tiger. We met at the school fair. Each year, all the fourth-grade classes hold a school fair. Everyone in the fourth-grade works at the fair. Some sell ice cream, drinks and snacks. Others take care of the little children who ride the rides.
I got the second job and I’ve never regretted it, because that’s where I met Tiger.
My job was to help little children get on the back of a little horse. I kept telling the children to wait their turn and holding ice cream for them while they rode about. One thing was clear to me. I was growing older and should be more responsible.
Suddenly, a boy came to the horse. He took the little horse’s reins! The horse stopped, and the girl on its back started to fall. I was trying to reach the girl when I saw Tiger go by my legs. It held the horse’s reins and pulled the horse away from my legs. I caught the girl just before we both hit the ground. The girl sat on top of me. She was laughing at the ice cream on my face. The horse’s reins were in Tiger’s mouth!
Thanks to Tiger’s fast action, I saved the little girl. We were both heroes. And Tiger, the fastest dog I’ve even known became my new best friend.

請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。
On December 23, 2008, Niu Niu held a piano concert at the national Grand Theater (國家大劇院). As an eleven-year-old boy, he became the youngest pianist ever to perform a concert at the theater.
Never too young to learn
Niu Niu was born into a musical family in Xiamen. His father Zhang was a piano teacher. Niu Niu grew up listening to his father’s students playing the piano. At just three years old, Niu Niu asked his father to teach him to play, too.
“I gave Niu Niu some sheet music and helped him find the eight notes when he first played the piano. To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct,” said the father. He used to think that three years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind. He continued to allow Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.
Playing for fun
Zhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four. Unlike many other piano teachers, Zhang didn’t insist that Niu Niu play strictly with the correct finger positioning (位置). He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can remember about 80 pages.
Rising to fame
In 2003, at the age of 6, Niu Niu successfully held a sole concert in his hometown Xiamen. At the age of 8, he gave a performance at the International Piano Festival in France. At the age of 10, Niu Niu played in London and his performance was praised by Prince Charles. Last year, this young pianist published his first album “Niu Niu Plays Mozart” and over 10,000 copies have been sold in the world.
We are very glad to see a young Chinese pianist rising in the music world.
小題1:How old was Niu Niu when he performed a concert at the National Grand Theater?
小題2:What was Niu Niu’s father?
小題3:What did Niu Niu’s father feel when Niu Niu played nearly 80 percent of the sheet music correct?
小題4:What did Niu Niu’s father say about the strict finger positioning?
小題5:What do you think of Zhang’s way of teaching his son Niu Niu? （請自擬一句話作答）

Chairman Mao once said: “It is not hard to do one good deed. It is hard to do good deeds all your life.” Guo Mingyi, 52, a worker in Anshan, Liaoning, did just that. Over the past 20 years, Guo has donated 60,000 milliliters(毫升) of blood. That is the blood of 10 people put together.
　　 Once, on a cold winter of 2009, Guo got a call from the hospital. The doctors told him that a patient needed a blood donation. Guo didn’t have time to eat lunch.
