Monday morning is an important time at our school. All of the students go to the playground.

We listen to music, and we  1 the national flag(国旗) go up.

Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings. One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk. He was  2 and excited ! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too. Can I really do it?

Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk. My teacher 3 me, "I know you want to have a try. Next Monday, you can give the talk. Go and write something down. Get ready for it, I'm sure you'll do well." "Thank you ," I answered, It was such a great  4 for me ! When I got home , I was excited. I wrote two pages for the talk. I read them again and again. When I read, I asked my parents  5  . I wanted to make my teacher happy.

Monday morning came. I began to feel  6  When did I last give a talk to so many people ? Never! This was my first time. Could I really do it?  Maybe I couldn't finish the talk.

When I got to school, we all went out to playground. I  7  in front of everyone. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't say anything. "Take it easy," I said to 8 . " Don't be nervous. You can do it."

Just then, I looked down at everyone. I saw about 1,000 eyes. They were all looking at me ! I couldn't even stand up. I looked at their eyes more carefully. Their eyes were saying , "You can do it! Don't be afraid, just talk !" I  9 a big breath(呼吸). Then I began to talk. It wasn't hard. It was easy. I don't know  10 I finished my talk. But I did it. I felt so good that day. I showed myself

to everyone what I can do.

Some people like to get up early, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don't like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising(早起) people had less disease(疾病) than late rising people, and early rising people also look healthier than late rising people, and so on.

So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh(新鲜的) air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.

Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.

Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.

Fourthly, early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.

Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit(养成习惯) of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力) to do so. As the English proverb says, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy(富裕的) and wise.”

"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.
