When I was a little girl, I could not understand why my father always seemed to be (66) __ (kind) to others than to his own family and why he thinks of others more than (67) __ (he). Now I realize that he owns a heart full of love.
My best friend has two first names.One is Heather,and the others Na﹣ri.I (34) . (never see) her use the name Na﹣ri.But today,for the first time,she is writing a letter with this name.
She (35) (bear) in South Korea and adopted by American parents when she was two years old one day,she told me about her childhood When she went out to dinner,some South Korean strangers tried to talk to her in Korean.She didn't understand what they (36) __ (say),so she
just looked at them.She said that she still remembered how they looked at her.Their eyes seemed to say,"Poor girl.You are an abandoned child."From that day,Heather tried to keep saying to herself that
she was American.
Two days ago,she received a letter from South Korea.The letter (37) (send) to Na﹣ri.She was so surprised that she couldn't open the letter.So I did it for her.The letter was written in
Korean.I said,"Heather,you should ask someone (38) (read) this for you.It was written in Korean."But she was silent.
Yesterday,on the way home,I saw her (39) (cry) on a bench near my house."What is it,honey?"I said.She told me that her birth mother had blood cancer,and the only cure for her
illness might be Heather's blood.I asked how she knew this.Heather said she had learned Korean
secretly.Crying hard,Heather only repeated,"What should I do?What should I do?"I really had
no answer.
This morning,Heather called me."(40) you (be) with me when I write a letter to
South Korea?"I gladly went over to her house.Heather didn't seem to have slept at all.I hugged her and told her everything would be okay.Now I (41) (sit) in front of Heather watching her write a letter.She hasn't told me what she is writing,but I can guess.Heather is writing,"Na﹣ri is coming,mother."
A young man (71) (travel) through a desert when he came across a spring of clear water. The water was sweet. He filled his leather bag so that he could bring some back to (72) elder, who had been his teacher. After a journey of four (73) (day), the young man finally (74) (bring) the water to him. The teacher took a deep drink, smiled (75) (warm), and thanked his student very much for the sweet water. The young man went home (76) a happy heart.
After the student left, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spit it out, saying it was awful. In fact, it was no longer fresh because of the old leather bag. He asked his teacher, "Sir, the water was awful. Why did you seem (77) (enjoy) it?" The teacher answered, "You tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was not just water, (78) an act of kindness and love. Nothing could be (79) (sweet)."
We understand this lesson best when we receive gifts of love from children.Whether(80) is a cheap pipe or a diamond (宝石的) necklace, the proper response is appreciation (感激). We love the idea within the gift rather than the thing itself.
One of the world's most important and lovely animals is quickly disappearing,Can you guess which one it is?It(49) (have) the longest neck among all animals.Yes,it's the giraffe.

Why are there fewer and fewer giraffes?Because humans(52) (cut) down many trees to build more houses.And they are also killing the animals(53) (eat) their meat.A report from the International Union for Conversation of Nature(自然保护国际联盟) says,"Giraffes(54) (disappear) silently in the near future.And it is time that we do something for the giraffe before it is too late."
People think giraffes are everywhere.Kids'books are full of giraffes,and there(55) (be) always giraffes in zoos.But giraffes are in great danger now.Humans should stop killing off certain endangered wild animals and try hard to help save them.

Dear Mary,
Uncle Billy and I are glad about your visit.
The weather has changed a lot these days. Like today, it was sunny in the morning, but rained heavily at noon. So we (59) (make) two plans for you: If the weather is nice, I'm going to take you to Smith Farm. They are having a special horse show this week. I'm sure(60)you (like) it. And don't worry if it(61) (rain).We can go shopping at Mimi's Department Store; there we(62) (walk) around without getting wet. Rain or shine, hope you will have a good time here.
See you tomorrow at the train station at 9: 00a. m.
Love, Aunt Lisa
Last summer,I began the biggest adventure(冒险)of my life.I moved from a tiny city in England to one of the largest cities in the world.
As the plane landed in Beijing,I (61) (feel) excited﹣I finally arrived after months of planning!One of the first things I did was to visit one of the city's hutongs.Strolling(闲逛)around the hutongs,the warm air was filled with the smell of delicious food.I was amazed to see that many people (62) (ride) their old﹣fashioned tricycles (老式三轮脚踏车).Just at this time,I thought,"Wow,I'm in China."
Beijing is very different from my home city,Preston.Preston has only one shopping street and on Sunday,all the shops close at 4:00 pm.There (63) (not be) much choice when eating out,either.As a fan of food,I couldn't wait (64) (see)what Beijing can offer.
But after I have tasted so many kinds food here,I still don't have a favorite dish yet.I(65) am still happily (65) (look) for my favorite through the city's restaurants.
I am slowly getting used to the different way of life,but I still find some habits here quite strange and humorous.
British people (66) (tell)not to make any kind of bodily noise at the dinner table when they are still children,so it is a funny culture shock (冲击)to hear the loud noise of Chinese diners.
Since I came here,I (67) (discover) something else interesting.As a foreigner,I always draw people's attention.On the subway or in streets and restaurants,I always find some people staring (盯着看)at me and (68) (try) to take secret photos of me.It seems that I am a famous person or a popular star.
In the future,I(69) (go)to many other parts of China.I hope I(70) (travel) from one end to the other of this beautiful country,taking photos and meeting new people along the way.
My adventure in China is only just beginning,and I wonder how it will be.
