I worked as a waiter at a cafe a few months ago. One night,just before I 1 (1) ， I found a large wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I was very b (2) at that time,so I didn't have time to check it for the owner's identification (身份).I thought if there was anything i (3) in it, the owner would be b (4) . Sure enough an hour later,a man came into the cafe and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the 1 (5) wallet,and after he had described it c (6) ，1 gave him the wallet. He seemed very pleased and asked if I had opened the wallet. When I told him "No" ， he opened it at once and showed me that it had nearly $800. Then he took out a $20 bill and forced it in my hand. ^u A reward for your honesty (誠實)，"he said and then turned and walked away.

  Thinking about it later,I w (7) wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known w (8) was in the wallet！ But anyway I had saved someone's Christmas plan b (9) finding and returning the wallet. The nice f (10) it gave me was worth much more than the money.

Naturally their ideas are i (5) to everyone in the country,and it is necessary for older people to understand what they t  (6) and feel.

  College students today have strong o (7) about right and wrong. They are deeply interested in m (8)a better life for all people，e (9)for those who have not been given a f (10) chance. They see much in what is wrong in the lives of their parents. As a result,there is often trouble in American families.

Let the Music Turn You On

Vocabulary needs to be r (1) again and again. Well,what could be b (2) than studying vocabulary by 1 (3) to your favorite songs? Read the lyrics first and try to u (4) them. You don't need to t (5) the lyrics word by word. Just try to f (6) out what the song is all about. Pick some words or phrases from the song that you would like to learn. If n (7) ， look up their exact m (8) in a dictionary. A dictionary might also be u (9) for you to find other related interesting words or phrases. Now,to learn the vocabulary, w (10) you have to do is to listen to the song again and again. And that shouldn't be a problem if it's one of your favorite songs.

 According to a recent survey,only forty percent of children in our country feel happy. Why? Do you know what "happiness" m (1)？ A lot of money? No homework every day? High marks or anything e (2) ？ In fact,happiness is always around you if you put your h (3)into it. When you are in trouble in school,your friends will help you;when you study hard at your 1 (4)， your parents are always taking good care of your life and h (5); when you get s (6)， your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong， people around you will help you c (7) it. And when you do something good to others,you will feel happy,too. All these are called happiness. If you notice a bit of them,you can see that happiness is always around you. All these can't be b (8) with money. It's a feeling of your heart. When you come a (9) difficulties， you can say loudly you are very happy ， because you have more chances to challenge yourself.

  As the saying goes ， life is like a revolving (旋轉(zhuǎn)的)door. When it closes ， it also o (10). If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

  As soon as I e (1) the room,I found that my mother was unhappy. It was unusual―she usually opened the door and w   (2) me with a smile！

  "She's dying," mum said s (3). I know what she said. The tulip(肩卩金香).mother's f   (4) was dying.

  A month ago,we moved into our new house and mum bought a very beautiful tulip. Mum liked it very much. When she was f (5)， she would sit in her armchair beside the tulip and enjoyed its beautiful color and inviting smell.

She t (6) it like a baby and looked after it carefully. She put the tulip by the window and moved it from one place to another to give the tulip e (7) sunshine. The first thing she did when she got up every morning was to water the tulip. Mum also fertilized (施肥)it many times. She hoped that with her great c (8) , the tulip would become more and more beautiful and strong.

  But the tulip was dying because of too much sunshine,water and fertilizer. It's t (9) that mother loved the tulip. But this kind of love can be harmful. Love can sometimes k (10) what you love.

  About three years ago,I felt very lonely. I didn't like my classmates,my parents or anyone else. My classmates didn't want to talk w (1) me,and my parents were always saying that other kids were better than me. I thought I was the m   (2) unlucky person in the world.

  One day, I had a fight with one of my classmates. I was so angry t (3)I hit him in the face. Just at that moment,a boy stood up and s (4) the fight. He was the monitor of our class.

  After that,the monitor often helped me,and we became good f (5) Whenever I got angry or sad,he would help    m (6)to cool down. My life began to change because of the boy ， my best friend. We spent a lot of interesting days together. As t (7) goes by ， I have become more tolerant and generous towards other people. And it s (8) that people around me have changed,too. My parents don't shout at me a   (9) more,and my classmates become friendly to me.

  But now,I can't often see my best friend because he is seriously i (10) and is staying in hospital. How I miss the days when we were together ！ I hope he will be all right and come back to school soon.

  Maybe you are more interested in sports than in history. You probably think you will never be a top student. In f (1) ， anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. If you can use your time well,you may improve your study w   (2) much work. Here's how:

  Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week time,you should make a 1 (3) of things that you have to do. First write down the time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc. Then decide on a good time for studying. Of course,studying shouldn't take all of your time. Don't forget to leave yourself enough t   (4) for hobbies.

  Find a good place to study. Look a   (5) the house for a good study place. K (6)this space,which may be a desk or just a comer of your room. No games,radio,or television ！ When you sit down to work,think only about the subject！

  Make good use of your time in class. Listen c (7) to what the teacher says. Careful listening in class means less work later. You also need to take notes in class,because it canm   (8) it easier for you to learn well.

  Only a few ways are mentioned here to h (9)you with your study. I believe you will find s   (10) other ways besides these.

  What's the real meaning of the word " peace ” ？ The f (1) story may tell us something about it.

  There was once a king who offered an award to an artist who could paint the b (2) picture of peace. Many a   (3) tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.

  One picture was a calm lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains around it. And overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. A (4) who saw this picture would think that it was a perfect picture of peace.

  The other picture had mountains too. But they were rugged(高低不平的).Above was the dark sky,from which heavy rain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of the mountain. This picture did not look p   (5) at all. But when the king looked c   (6) he found behind the waterfall a very small bush g   (7) and a mother bird sitting on her nest(鳥窩)一in perfect peace.

  The king gave the award to the artist who painted the s (8) picture. Why? "Because," explained the king, ^upeace does not mean a place where there is no n (9) or trouble. Peace m (10) in the midst of all those things,you're still calm in your heart. That's the real meaning of peace.”
