3．As a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad．I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s，with great interest．
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting．We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany．
I have clear memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad．I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand，during the flight to Frankfurt．We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew （工作人员）．The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is especially afraid of flying．
After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport，for our return flight．What a journey that was!All along the Rhine （莱茵河），it was simply an unforgettable experience．I had a  sombre feeling on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service．
Being the first airline to take me abroad，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart．Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline．Flying，in general，for me，has always been a terrible and painful experience．Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and always will look forward to．

7．Keesh lived at the North Pole a long time ago．He lived near the edge of the polar sea．He was a bright thirteen-year-old boy with a strong，healthy body．His father was a brave man who had died during a food shortage in the village．His father tried to save the lives of his people by fighting a giant polar bear．Keesh's father was crushed to death during the struggle．But he killed the bear，and the meat from the bear kept the people from starving．
     Keesh was his only son，and he lived alone with his mother．But people are forgetful，and they soon forgot how Keesh's father had saved their lives．And since Keesh was only a boy and his mother was a woman and not a warrior（勇士），they were forced to live in the smallest and poorest igloo in the village．
     One night there was a council meeting in the large igloo of Klosh-Kwan，who was the chief．At that meeting Keesh showed how much courage he possessed．He rose to his feet and waited for silence．Then，with the dignity（尊严）of an older man，he said，"It is true that my mother and I are given meat to eat．But the meat is always old and tough，filled with bones，and difficult to eat．"
     The hunters-both the young and the old-were shocked to hear a child speak to them that way．But Keesh went on steadily，"Because my father，Bok，was a great hunter，I can speak these words．You know that Bok brought home more meat than any hunter in the village．The oldest woman，the weakest old man，received a fair share．"
     Keesh waited calmly until the shouting died down．"My mother has no one except me，and therefore I must speak．My father put his life in danger and died，to provide food for this village．It is only right that I，his son and his wife should have enough good meat as long as there is plenty of good meat in this village．I，Keesh，the son of Bok，have spoken．"
     He sat down．He could hear angry murmuring all around him．Some men began to shout at Keesh．They ordered him to leave．They threatened to punish him by not giving him any food at all．Keesh's eyes flashed and the blood pounded under his skin．In the midst of the noise and the uproar，he jumped to his feet．
"Listen to me，you men!"he shouted．"I shall never speak in this council again-not until you come to invite me to speak．My father was a great hunter，and so will I be．"
     They laughed at Keesh and followed him out of the igloo，shouting at him．But Keesh said nothing more．He walked away with his head raised，looking neither to the left nor the right…．

8．Dear Daisy，
Phew!I'm so glad that day is over．I was so worried all summer that my first day at my new school would be terrible．
I'm really tired，but my first day at school went well and I feel much better now．
First of all，we had to meet outside the school building．I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1，300．What a difference!The older pupils are really big．I felt so small waiting there in front of the school．
The other problem was that I didn't know anyone．My family moved over the summer holidays，because of Dad's new job．So now I have to try to make some new friends．Standing in front of the school this morning，I wanted to be back at my old school with my old friends．
The head teacher came out and told us to go into the school hall．Then he called our names out to tell us which class we were in．My class teacher is called Mrs．Black．She took us to our classroom．It's on the 5^th floor and …guess what？…We aren't allowed to use the lift．I couldn't believe it．
When we were walking up all the stairs I started talking to another boy who didn't know anyone．He said his family had moved from Hong Kong over the summer．He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to our classroom，out of breath!He said his English was very poor but I thought it was really good．
We spent all morning with Mrs．Black looking at our timetables．Everyone in the school has a different timetable-can you believe it？Half of the school is learning Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French．I'm in the Spanish group，which sounds like fun．I'm worried that I'll forget my timetable and go to the wrong room!How will anyone help me if nobody else has the same timetable as me？
Lunchtime was OK．After lunch we started lessons．I had maths，which was complicated and difficult and then history，where we started to learn about ancient Greece．That looks interesting．I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived．
So far so good．I'm quite looking forward to tomorrow，even though I've got science．I hate science!
