I will never forget a special trip to the grocery store some years ago. My father had just recently1. I was missing him terribly and hardly getting through a day without2. I needed to pull myself together to get some groceries for my young children.
As I entered the store, I3had to control my emotions as the4smell of my daddy’s favorite cinnamon buns (肉桂卷) made there filled the whole5. I made my way up and down the busy passages and6my cart (手推车) as I read my list, which I had prepared that morning. I was7the in-store bakery when I just couldn’t8myself any longer. I held the9and quietly cried as I looked at the cinnamon buns.
A gentleman came to my10and simply said, “Would you like me to11here with you for a moment?” I nodded and the man simply put his hand on top of mine, and stood there12supporting me as I cried. Once I gathered myself, I looked into his wonderful eyes and thanked him,13I had just lost my father. He simply said there had been such14in his life too, when he just needed to cry.
This man15me deeply. I realized too many times, we see someone16and make guesses about the happenings in their life, when really we should recognize we are all17and just need a little18sometimes.
Before leaving, I19again in the store for this man, but could not find him. I hope that maybe, he or someone who has done this same thing reads this and learns how the gesture20the heart of another person.

Once upon a time, there were two men. One was hard-working and had a lot of1 and perseverance (坚定不移), while the other was2 and never did any work. One night, they decided to have a competition between them. The contest was simple: the3 person to see daylight would be the winner, and the winner would4 a prize. Both men agree to do it, and the competition started.
The hard-working man immediately5 and ran towards the west after the sun, while the lazy man just sat there and6 . The hard-working man, looking at the competitor,7 at his foolishness and kept going at his quick pace. Running through the jungles, swimming8 the rivers and seas, and he kept running and running,9that he would reach his goal sooner or later. Meanwhile, the lazy man was still sleeping.
The hard-working man had been10 for 6 hours already, and he was surprised that he still had not11 daylight. Thinking it would be just around the corner, he12 on running until he finally came back to where he started,13 hours14 . Upon arriving, he saw the lazy man seated there, smiling and waiting for him, holding the44he earned.
The hard-working man was15 how this lazy man could earn it ---he hadn't done anything at all! Then the lazy man said," You are16a persevering and patient man, but you were running towards the17 , running after the sun that kept moving away from your18 whereas I just waited for the sun to come to me. You were lucky. If I had decided to19 you and not to tell you, you would be continuing this pursuit (追赶) till your death." The hard-working man knew in his heart that the lazy man was right.
Sometimes, perseverance can20 you from the truth that what you are doing is wrong.

A gift left to her
Early in the morning, I was taken in a nylon bag into a truck. I felt horrible as well as 1What would she do with me? She was almost mad after the2of her husband.
A few minutes later, I heard the truck3its engine and move fast. I kept making sounds to show my protest, but failed to make any4 Finally she put me down in a5place. Maybe she didn’t want me to die from lack of air; she untied the bag.
I 6 out and looked up, only to see many strange faces and fingers pointing at me.
It turned out that my owner meant to7 me. I saw my owner on the truck, which was going farther and farther. So I cast my head 8the direction of the truck. The days we spent together was like a movie playing in front of my eyes as I ran after the truck. I saw my male owner, who suffered liver cancer; look at me with his sad eyes. I saw myself9my owner everywhere; I saw him lie in his dying bed, she all10.
I ran as fast as I could. And the11I saw her wave to me, my eyes became wet. I wouldn’t blame her for treating me like this for she was such a (n) 12 lady. She seemed even somewhat13 at his leaving her alone, trying many ways to 14the pains of losing him. She 15 his pictures and clothes, and she redecorated the whole house. Now I was the only16 thing to remind her of him. 17 later, I am pretty sure that she would realize how mad she was to do this…
The truck finally stopped when I was almost 18. She ran up to me and hugged me 19. I heard her20: “I know you are a present he left to me.”

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to El Capitan, a 1 rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew 2 I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion (钟爱) ever since--- 3 the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my 4.
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of 5, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s 6 me why visitors started respecting the place 7 and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried 8 trash(垃圾)myself, but the job was too big. I would 9an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so 10 it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew 11about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a 12. On that day, more than 300 people 13. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to 14. I couldn’t believe the 15 we made ---the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and 16 132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people 17 about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by 18 rather than complaining. We need to teach by 19. You can’t blame others 20 you start with yourself.

Three 1ago, my family got our first computer. 2the beginning of this summer, I found it was too old and I wanted to get a3one. After my father. and I talked for a long time, he4. We went to many shops and read many ads.5we bought an HP computer.
During the first week, I noticed6our computer had some problems. I spent many hours7to fix it, but it8work. So I9to phone the HP compa­ny and ask them10to work out my problem. They told me to wait until the next morning because all their workers were11that day.
The next morning two workers came. It took them many hours to mend it, but the computer12 did not work. My dad had no other way but to return the whole thing.
A few days later, we decided that I should go on the Internet and order some parts to build a new computer by13.
It was not an easy job for me to build a new computer. I tried many times, and in the end I was successful. From these setbacks(挫折), I have learned a lot. Now I be­lieve that if the HP computer hadn't had any problems,14I would not have learned how to build the new one. Even though I spent lots of time on it, I know it wasn't15.

The party began shortly after Mr. Wood, who lived in the flat below, signed (叹息) to himself as he heard excited voices and the noisy music. Luckily he had 1some work home from the office,2he kept himself busy for a couple of hours, thus managing to pay no attention to the noise3. But by eleven o’clock he felt 4and was ready to go to bed, though from his earlier experience he knew it was 5trying to get to sleep. He undressed and lay for a while on the bed, trying to read, but he6 himself reading the same page over and over again. He then turned off the light and 7his head in the pillow(枕头). But 8he could not shut off the 9,finally after 10 seemed hours his11was gone.
He jumped out of bed, 12some clothing, marched 13 up the stairs and walked into his neighbor’s flat. The owner of the flat, who 14him in his dressing gown(睡衣) came 15 the room and16Mr. Wood could say anything, cried “My dear fellow, come and 17. I know our parties 18 you. I meant to send you 19.” Mr. Wood’s anger disappeared then and there. He said “I’d better go and get 20.” Minutes later, he returned properly dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.

I put the children to bed4 and prepared a cup of coffee for myself. Soon I was seated comfortably with my5 in front of me and the sandwich and the cup of coffee on a small table beside me.
I was just beginning to6 the food when the telephone rang. I put down my book and hurried to7 it. By the time I got back to the living room, my coffee was8. I ate the sandwich and begin9 cold coffee with the book10 open to the front page.11 there was a loud knock at the front12. It surprised me so much that I spilled (洒)some coffee on my skirt. The man at the door was looking13 a certain address and14 me to give him some information. It15 me a long time to explain something to him. After that , I sat down again and16 to read a whole page without further interruption(打扰) --- until the baby woke up. He started17 at the top of his voice,18 I run upstairs quickly. He was still awake at 11 o’clock when my husband came back. I really wanted to throw something19 him when he asked me if I had spent a20 evening.

An unforgettable experience
It was a cold winter day. I rushed down the busy road towards the bus stop. Taxis passed me one after another1I didn’t have enough money to get one. My wallet was in my pocket but2I had was a five-yuan note. Taking a bus would3three, so I would be left with only4to buy something to eat. I was very hungry as I had only eaten one meal all day. Waiting at the bus stop, I5eagerly for a store6I could buy food. Then I heard an old woman’s voice7
behind me, “Steamed corn(蒸玉米)!Steamed corn!One yuan each!” Her voice was breaking and8deep despair. Staring at the old woman, I felt pity. She was9,just like a beggar. But she was much older than the other beggars in the street. Her face was10and her eyes were full of tears. Her large withered(干枯的) fingers kept a tight hold on her basket of steamed corns. What had happened to her? Why was a woman11selling corns on such a cold evening? I felt sad. I had to do something. I took the five-yuan note from my wallet and handed it to her. She had said each steamed corn cost one yuan, so I could buy12. But if I did that, I would have nothing13to pay for the ticket. I wouldn’t be able to get home. Finally, I decided to give the woman two yuan for one steamed corn,14my pity for her. To my surprise, she refused to accept the15one yuan, saying she wanted to work for her money. She was already16to me because I was the only person to buy steamed corns from her all day.
I was17moved. She was so old and weak but chose to sell snacks18beg. From that moment, I had19for her, and didn’t feel pity any more. The corn was sweet and delicious. But20made me happier was that I helped a respectable old woman as much as I could.
