When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really　 16 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could　 17　 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 　18　 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my　 19　 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.

After my family moved back to Singapore, I 　 20　 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 21　 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we　 22　 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going　 23　 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 　 24　 shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 　 25　 sign.

We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe,　 26　 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write　 27　 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.

Three weeks later, I arrived home and　 28　 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.

That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had　 29 the post office all these years. Today I　 30　 send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

As usual, Betty was sitting alone during break. As she sat, she heard a quiet “meow” nearby and found a little cat with a band showing the name “Lucky”.

She picked up the cat and went to ask her teacher if she could help the cat find his home as a class project.

“Are you willing to organize this project?” Mrs. Smith asked. She had tried for months to get Betty to speak up in class, but Betty had stayed quiet. Maybe this was her chance to shine!

　 Betty thought for a moment and then said, “Okay, we need to put up signs around the neighborhood and call the local newspaper.”

Tony also suggested that they call the Animals’ Home.

Soon students were busy drawing posters. Two students were making phone calls. Mrs. Smith was surprised to find Betty was so confident and really showed an ability to lead.

Betty, however, was not thinking about being a leader or being shy. Her mind was on finding this lost cat’s home.

The two students making phone calls came back and announced, “The Animals’ Home said that a family reported a lost cat named Lucky! They said they’d call the family to come and get him!” The class cheered.

Ten minutes later, a woman showed up and said with joy, “Thank you for returning Lucky! He was very ‘lucky’ to have been found by such a caring group of students!”

The class celebrated their success. Mrs. Smith celebrated, too. Betty sat comfortably with her classmates for the first time, laughing and joking. Mrs. Smith believed it was indeed lucky that Betty had found the cat—lucky for both of them!
