I have had thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But only one 36 was the most important.
It happened last term just after I had got a 37 result in an exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided to go to a class which can tell me how to be 38 .
The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking 39 a teacher. Instead, he held up a twenty yuan note(钞票) !
“Who wants this?” he asked. Unsurprisingly, 40 of us in the class held up our hands.
The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we all put up our hands. The speaker smiled again, but 41 nothing. Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same 42 a third time.
I didn’t 43 what the speaker was doing. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn't know what to do. I wanted the note, 44 I put my hand up again. After a while, he 45 the note and started to laugh. “You have all just told me how to become successful,” 46 said to us with the note in his hand.
“The note is worth twenty yuan. It is 47 worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter 48 happens to you, you still have your worth.”
When I heard those words, I was deeply moved. Suddenly, I 49 I was worth a lot. I may have done badly in an exam, but it doesn't 50 I can’ t do well in the future. If I believe in myself, I will be successful!

Is your schoolbag too heavy to carry? The e-schoolbag will help you. In fact, the e-schoolbag should perhaps be called an e-textbook. It is a small computer for students. Heavy schoolbags have been a serious problem for them for a long time. But the e-schoolbag will change everything.
It is much lighter than a usual schoolbag. Also, it is as small as a usual textbook, an exercise book and so on. They can be made into chips that are as small as a stamp. The students can read the text page by page on the “screen”, take notes, or even send e-mails to their teachers. All they have to do is to put the right chip into the e-schoolbag and press the button.
It is said that e-schoolbags have been put into use in some Chinese middle schools. In 2012, some students in Shanghai started to use e-schoolbags in the new term. Some say that e-textbooks can be easily broken. Some say it is not good to students’ eyes. But only time will tell us all.An e-schoolbag is _____.

I still remember my first night as a young policeman.
It was a cold and wet night. Over the radio came the message to deal with an accident in one of the side streets of the city. The scene of the accident wasn’t far away and we arrived after 10 minutes. Two cars had crashed. Two women were lying on the street and one driver was still in the car. The driver was quite drunk(喝醉) and kept shouting to us. He didn’t get badly hurt. A young woman died at once when the two cars crashed. I was holding the other woman and tried to stop the bleeding, but at last I had to watch her die in my arms.
Three months later, I saw the driver in court and found him to be a normal person. He was sorry for his actions. In the end, he was put into the prison for several years. A man isn’t a man if he drinks 10 beers in an hour. A man is a man when he knows his limit and takes responsibility(责任).
