Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper —and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little surprised. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never 21 more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 22 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 23 _ table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the best for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked 24 at each other —what was he up to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a mixture of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next 25 was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just another mixture of vegetable.
As we ate we chatted and finally the 26 turned back to what we were eating. ”Was there a recipe (食谱) for this,” asked Marina, “or did you 27 it up?” Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked depended on what I could find.” Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.” “But there’s 28 choice in what you can find outside supermarkets,” he replied.
Seeing that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually throw away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of __29 , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had successfully provided a decent (体面的) meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 30 millions of people.

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 1 to look at each other. But we soon lost the 2 and started playing with each other. In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was 3 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. 4 of my new friends like her as much as I did 5 they knew she had “problems”. However, every summer we would 6 sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked.
It was last year when I 7 the problem. I guessed I was just too busy to catch up in high school to realize she 8 someone there for her. Well, she made a new “best friend” and so did I. Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself！
She was diagnosed with clinical depression（抑郁症）. I was very 9 at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in 10 . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 11 deserted her, since people were calling her 12 , and I knew I still 13 her like a sister.
Yesterday she came 14 me and said this, “I never knew what a best friend was 15 you were the only person that would stop me from cutting; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 16 . You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 17 me and I was crying. I 18 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 19 me.”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never 20 your friends.

Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people's daily life.1these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, "plucking up a crop2(help) it grow", is based on the following story.
It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) was very anxious to help3rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about4day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea5he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
He was very tired6doing this for a whole day,7he felt very happy since the crop did "grow"8(high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their9(nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often10(result) in the contrary to our intention.
Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back. You could 30 the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.
