Zhang Jin was so lucky to have a free trip to Thailand. But he didn't 35 to have a dangerous experience. The next day, when Zhang Jin arrived in Bangkok (曼谷), he was shocked to find himself in a city 36 with street battles (战斗) between two groups. One group was supporting the Thai government while the other was 37 it and had street battles with the 38 . Two people were killed and hundreds injured. Because of it, 240,000 foreign tourists, including over 3,000 Chinese people like Zhang, failed to leave and had to 39 in the country.

"We were 40 on the streets. But we felt at home with other Chinese from HongKong or Taiwan," said Zhang. 41 , the Chinese government sent flights to bring the people back. Now, all the Chinese tourists are safely back home. "The moment the plane left Thailand, we cheered for joy," said Zhang.

Last week the street battles finished. 42, the country's tourism industry(旅游业)needs 43 to return to normal. Tourism is the 44 part of the country's economy (经济)， Thailand is called "Land of Smiles" and has some of Asia's best beaches. It has made $17 billion from 15.5 million tourists this year.

"Who did this?" Mrs. Green asked with a piece of broken glass in her hand. She had never been so   51  with us. The classroom was so quiet. All students looked at the window except me. I kept my head   52  . I knew it was me. I broke it when I practiced   53  baseball. But should I tell the truth? If I did, I would be in trouble, I didn't have enough   54 . How could I afford to buy such an expensive window? I really didn't want to put up my hand,   55  at last I said. “I did it. I am sorry.” It was not   56  for me to say those words.

Mrs. Green went to the book shelf and took down a book. Then she walked to me. Looking at  57 , I was a little afraid. To my surprise, she said, "I know you like  58   .Here is the book about them. It's yours now. I give it to you not because you broke the window, but because you are  59  ." I couldn't believe it. I wasn't punished(惩罚). However, I was given my favorite book about birds.

It happened 20 years ago, but I still   60  the book. The lesson my teacher taught me that day will be in my heart forever.

I was walking around in a store. I saw an assistant pass this little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to.

“It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.” he said.

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her, and he shouldn’t worry. But he replied to me sadly, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just in case (万一)you do have enough money?”

“Ok,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left . The little boy said, “Thank you God for giving me enough money!”

I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.
