Many years ago， there was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge(判断) things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter， the second in spring， the third in summer， and the youngest son in autumn.

When the sons came back， the old man asked them to say what they had seen. The first son complained the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds(花蕾) and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves. They looked so beautiful， and it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son said that the tree was bowed（弯） down with heavy fruits. It was full of life and fulfillment(收获).

The man explained that all of his sons were right， but each of them had seen just one season of the tree. He told them that they couldn’t judge a tree or a person by only one season. "If you give up when it’s winter， you will miss the hope of your spring， the beauty of your summer， and the fulfillment of your autumn." said the old man.

Once a boy often made trouble. His mother gave him many nails（钉子）. She told him to hammer（锤，钉）one in the garden fence（栅栏） every time he lost his patience and fought with someone. The first day he hammered 27 nails. In the following weeks he learned how to control himself better and the number of nails hammered became smaller and smaller. He learned it was easier to control himself than to hammer nails.

The day finally came when he didn’t hammer any nails. He went to tell his mother about it. Then his mother told him to pull off a nail from the fence each time he didn’t lose his patience. After some days he told his mother that all the nails had been pulled off， so she took him to the fence and said to him， “You’ve behaved well， but look at all the holes in the fence. The fence will never be again like it was before. When you fight with someone， you leave wounds（伤口）in him like these. The trouble may be over， but the wounds will always be there.”

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door， it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They would like to know the world well.

It’s true that studying abroad can help the future development of Chinese students. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are also many problems. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.

Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with (处理) all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before， like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves， it is hard for students to study well.

Finally， studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents， the cost of studying abroad is very high.

We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American coach invited him there， but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese coach. He surprised the world when he won a gold at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in， think again.

Title: Studying at home or _____1.____

On the afternoon of October 13th， 2011 in Foshan， a two-­year-­old baby girl was playing in the street while her parents were busy working at their shop. But unfortunately (不幸地是)， a truck went by and knocked into this poor girl. What's worse， without stopping to help the girl， the truck went over her， making this poor girl badly hurt. In the next 7 minutes， another truck went over her， and 18 passers-­by just walked past without taking notice of the poor baby. At last， this girl was saved by an old woman who collected waste in the streets， but unluckily the baby girl was so badly hurt that she died at last.

This event aroused harsh criticism (引起强烈批判) on the Internet. But why do people seem so kind-­hearted (热心肠的) only on the Internet， but actually in the daily life we can hardly see them help each other? Lots of people made comments online: If you save someone who's hurt， he may say it's you who hurt him. You may have trouble when you do a good deed， because the law doesn't protect you.

We really need to learn from other countries in such cases. For example， in Singapore， if someone does wrong to the one who helps him， he has to say sorry in public and pay 3 times the medical fee as punishment.

1.Where did the story happen? __________________________________________
