Everybody wants a new start for a new school year. So, students often go back-to-school shopping. They buy and shoes. But the story is not so easy.
‘Mum, I want this pair of shoes!’
‘Dear! Those are 900yuan!That is too !’
‘But all the boys in my class wear this brand!’
So the real story is :Kids to catch up with fashion.
Chinese students uniforms at school. Parents think all the kids look the same, but know the differences. The ‘rich ’kids wear amazing watches, ride and use cool pencil cases. They show off their expensive things to kids .The everyone else wants them ,too. For example, some ‘rich’ kids use pencil box that 1,000yuan! It not only holds pencils, but also has a thermometer(温度计)，a compass, a music box and even games in it! But think about it: Do you really need a special pencil box? What can you do with a compass a thermometer in class? They only distract (分散注意)you。
As for these ‘rich’ kids, they are not rich at all. parents buy them all their cool things. They may have an advantage now, it won’t last forever. If you want to show off money you have, you have to make it yourself first. So, study hard .You will get a great job in the future.
Parents should also learn to refuse their kids’ demands. They should their kids: As students, what is really important is not school fation but good grades.

I sat down to read under an old tree in the park. I felt my life was 36 , because my whole world was dark.
A young 37 ran up to me, out of breath（气喘吁吁）. He stood right before me with his head down and said 38 , “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and 39 . I gave him a small smile and then turned my eyes away so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play.
40 , he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his 41 and said in surprise, “It smells sweet and it’s beautiful, too. That’s 42 I picked it. Here, it’s for you.” The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must 43 it, or he might never leave.

Tears came down my face as I 46 him for picking the best one. “You’re welcome.” he smiled, and then ran off to 47 . I sat there and wondered how he was able to learn about my pain.
Through the eyes of a blind child, 48 I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all those years I myself had been 49 . I decided to see the beauty in life, and 50 every second of my life. And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose.

When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I __31__ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could __32__ have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my __33__ outside in the back yard. At once, I __34__ out to the yard. There was my bike, __35__ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so __36__! I thought I __37__ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment __38__ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I __39__ the old bike and rode it, feeling __40__ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’ t __41__.
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me __42__ much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about __43__.

Once, in a small village, lived a family with eight children. Two of the children loved 31 very much, but the family was so poor that it was impossible to send 32 of them to study at the art college at the same time. After many discussions, the two boys finally 33 a plan. They would toss(抛) a coin. The loser would go 34 into the mines (煤矿) and, with his earnings(赚得的钱), 35 his brother studying at the college. Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, after four years, he would support the other brother studying at the 36 .
James won the toss and Jack went down into the mines. James worked with all his heart and his paintings were much 37 than those of most of his teachers, and by the time he 38 , he was beginning to make a lot of money for his paintings.

But Jack said 43 , "Brother, the four years in the mines has done too much to my hands, so it' s too 44 . Now I can' t even hold a glass. "

I have been keeping 41 pets at home: mice, turtles and rabbits. But golden hanmsters are my favorite. I am always surprised by 42 cute they can be.
It was summer when I first 43 two golden hamsters. They 44 brown, about the size of my hand. When I 45 by, they were cracking melon seeds (嗑瓜子). They did that as 46 as any human! I was so amused (逗乐) that I bought them at once.
The only one who was not happy to see the newcomers was my 47 . She thought 48 would make our home dirty all the time. So I made a 49 for them on the balcony (阳台).
Hamsters always want people to look at them. They try to get noticed by raising the front part of their body, 50 they watch you come and go until you stop and talk to them. Watch out when they start to roller-turn in their cage (笼子). They won’t stop 51 you have tears of laugher!
Hamsters are 52 than you think. One morning several months ago, I found one missing. The side of the cage was much 53 than the hamster and the cage had a lid. How did the little one climb up, open the lid and 54 ? I thought hard. But I’ve 55 found an answer.
