“Sixteen,” I said. I have forgotten the math question my second-grade teacher, Joyce Cooper asked that day, but I will never forget my _1_ . As soon as the number left my mouth, the whole class started _2_ . I felt like the silliest person in the world.
Mrs. Cooper fixed them with a firm (严格的) look. Then she said: “We’re all here to _3_ .”
Another time, Mrs. Cooper asked us to write a _4_ about what we hoped to do with our lives. I wrote: “I want to be a _5_ like Mrs. Cooper.”
She wrote on my report, “You would make an outstanding(杰出的) teacher _6_ you are determined(坚定的) and you try hard.” I was to carry those _7_ in my heart for the next 27 years.
After I graduated from high school, I got married and had children.
We needed every penny just to get by. College – and teaching – was out of the question.
Then one day I thought of my _8_ of how I wanted to help children. I talked it over with my family and _9_ to attend college classes in the mornings before work. And when I got home from work, I would _10_ . Finally after seven years, my dream had been realized and I became a teacher.
Not long after I started _11_ , something happened that brought the _12_ rushing back to me. I had written a sentence with grammatical(语法的) mistakes on the blackboard. Then I asked students to come and _13_ the mistakes.
One girl got halfway through, became confused(迷乱的) and stopped. As the other children laughed, _14_ rolled down her face. I gave her a hug and told her to get a drink of water. Then, remembering Mrs. Cooper, I fixed _15_ of the class with a firm look. “We’re all here to learn,” I said.

We will go and see the lions. These two lions are from Africa. They are very 5 and they usually sleep and relax 20 hours every day. 6 is their favorite food. So don't be near to them. Don't you want 7 and see Bill ? He is a koala. He is 8 for you. Look! Isn’t he cute? He is from Australia. He sleeps during the day, 9 at night he gets up and begins to eat food. That’s not all.

I asked many classmates and friends, “What do you think you will be when you grow up?” 1 of them told me what they would like to be in the future, 2 others said, “I don’t know.” I’m 3 to hear that because I think it’s bad. I think having dreams or hopes about the future will help us do better at school.
As middle school students, it’s time for us to 4 what we want to be in the future. If we know it better, we will know 5 to do it better at school. For example, if you are outgoing and like to meet people, you can be a 6 in the future. Then you should practice 7 more articles. If you’re happy with children and like 8 , you can teach English as a job in the future. And then you are supposed to work harder at English. If you want to 9 many interesting places, you can be a tour guide.
Of course, all the 10 that we are learning at school will be useful in the future, so we should work hard at all of them.

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were 1 warmly and equipped with the video___2___ we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired 3 I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so 4 that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin __5___I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He 6 over to another nearby dustbin and started looking 7 it.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and 8 the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in 9 and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made 10 feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with __11___, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s 12 day!”
He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he 13 away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can 14 help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness 15 by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.
