As we went quickly 20 the countryside, I kept an eye on them as they joked around. Sometimes they took a look in our direction. When two of them go out 21 , relaxed a little. The rest of them 22 to laugh and joke in their own language.
When we finally arrived at our 23 , only one of them was left on the train. He was obviously 24 too and as I struggled towards him with my heavy luggage(行李),he reached out and asked in English “Want a hand wth that, mate?”

I was so busy cleaning my new house that I didn’t eat 33 last weekend.
The doctor told me that a gentleman waiting for the 34 saw me fall down. He got to my side 35 , and told others to call 120. He stayed with me 36 the ambulance(救护车)arrived.

There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 26 you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only 27 friends leave footprints (脚印).
I shall always think of the autumn and the girl with the 28 . It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 29 in the cool wind. Autumn is a harvest(丰收)season and life is uninteresting. The free days always let 30 down. But one day, the sound of a violin came into my ears. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 31 in playing her violin. I had 32 seen her before. The music was so nice that I didn't know I had been 33 there for so long.
Every day I went to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 34 . I thought we were already good friends, 35 we didn't know each other.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly
36 . To my surprise, the girl came over to me.
“You must like violin.” she said.
“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
37 , a sad expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 38 me.” she said.
“ 39 , it was your playing that gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let's be friends.” The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. But I will always remember the girl. She is like a dream—so short, so bright, like a star giving off so much light that it makes the 40 beautiful.

Finally, Mr. Klein showed that ___36_______ one sign could be used for a whole word.

One in four Chinese primary school students say they are too busy to eat fruit every day, while many dislike fruit for the simple reason that their __16__tell them to eat it.
That is the result of a recent survey __17__the Chinese Association for Student Nutrition & Health Promotion(中国学生营养和健康促进协会), who last month issued a questionnaire among 1,500 children in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. They__18___ 28 percent didn't eat fruit every day and of those who did, one in seven did not eat enough.
Among students who didn't eat fruit every day, 50 percent said it was because they "didn't have time" and 40 percent of those who didn't like fruit said it was because "my parents____19___ me to".
"Fruit is a natural source of many nutritional elements(营养元素), can balance a person's nutritional intake and help to ___20___overweight(超重)," says Association director Du Yuxia.
He says about 20 percent of primary school students in Beijing and Guangzhou are overweight, while the figure is __21___30 percent in Shanghai.
Hu Xiaoqi, a nutrition expert with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), believes a student should eat at least 150 grams of fruit a day. Moreover, fruit juice is not an adequate substitute because the fruit __22__ contains more fiber and vitamins than juices, which are usually high in sugar and contain preservatives.
Hu says primary school students should be encouraged to eat one or two fruits every day. ___23___many students found they didn't have time to eat fruit before breakfast or in the evening, they should be encouraged to ___24__fruit to school and eat it during class breaks . Finally, she suggests that parents encourage their children to eat fruit, instead of forcing them.

I looked at their eyes more carefully. Their eyes were saying, “You can do it! Don’t be afraid, just talk!”
I 28 a big breath. Then I began to talk. It wasn’t hard. It was easy.

Last week Lu visited England. He stayed with my grandmother. He said it was a strange visit. “I don’t understand, but I 16 your grandmother a lot. When I arrived, I gave her a 17 from Suzhou. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider(蜘蛛) on the table so I killed it for her and she seemed very 18 . Do English people like spiders?”
“Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop 19 , so there was a ladder. Grandmother 20 me walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought a smart 21 for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back, I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to wonder 22 it was all right. Your grandmother came in and 23 !”
“Then I broke a small 24 in the bathroom. Your grandmother’s face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left I gave 25 grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She 26 it. I think she was happy I was going.”
I 27 to Lu, “My grandmother follows the old customs(习俗). You must not give someone an empty purse 28 they will have no money. You must not kill a “money spider” or the same will happen.

A long time ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play with it every day. But time went by, the little boy had 32 and he no longer played around the tree.

But you can pick all my apples and 35 them.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. He didn’t come back. The tree was sad.
The other day, the boy returned and the tree was so 36 . “Come and play with me.” The tree said. “I need a house for my family. Can you help me?” “You can cut off my branches(枝干)to build your house.” 37 the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

About a week ago, when I was playing basketball at our local park, I noticed a small group of boys picking on a smaller, skinnier boy. They were 1 him names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked dirt in his face. 2 I saw that, I walked over to the group.
I stepped 3 them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy of 4 they were doing to him. One of the boys replied, “He’s weird.” At that, I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the 5 was “No.” So, I asked another boy what the word “weird” 6 , and he said, “Different.” That was my cue(暗示). I told them that everyone is 7 , and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood 8 for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him. He 9 to let him play with them.
I thanked the boy for being so 10 . As I looked around, I realized that there were dozens of other people at the park 11 no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was strong enough to stand up against his friends to 12 someone in need, but I felt sad that 13 else had even taken a second look.
I hope that my action helped them 14 that they could have made a difference with a little 15 , and maybe next time they will be the ones who choose to help.
