One day while I was in fifth grade, my schoolbag was stolen (偷) from my dad's car. In it I had all my school things including my binder (活页夹) and a few other valuable things like my1. I used to like writing stories, and I had written many in it. So when my dad told me the bad news, I couldn't help2.
Then I went to school3a long face. My fifth grade teacher, Miss Taylor, was really sweet and4. Knowing what happened to me, she gave me a binder that she had.
Later that day, Miss Taylor got a(n)5from the school office and when she got off the phone, she said to me, "Zoe, someone found your diary! It's in Ms Jones' office."
I rushed there and got my diary. When I6it, I saw an envelope (信封) in it. On the back of the envelope, it read, "It seems your school things got stolen. I'm7for that, but I hope this helps". In the envelope there was a bill of $20. The person that found my diary had put it in the envelope so that I8buy some school things!
It was such a kind action! In fact, there are lots of people that are kind, and many9like Miss Taylor can make the best out of the worst.10something bad happens and you feel sad, just remember that there are some good people out there in the world.
Dear sir,
I am writing to apply for (申请) the job of tour guide in London that was advertised (登广告) on your website.

As for languages, as well as English, I can speak French, Spanish and a little German. I am a sociable person and I enjoy meeting new people. I am enthusiastic (热情的) about the sights of my city and I think this is important for a tour guide.
I shall be free from the middle of June until the end of September when my university classes begin.
If you would like me to attend an interview, you can call me at 79377211. I am free every Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.

Some children were working in a wheat (小麦) field. Some worked hard and some didn't. But one small boy just ran here and there after the butterflies (蝴蝶) and sang happily.
In the evening, an angel (天使) came and said to the children, "Come now to the gate, and bring your sheaves (小麦捆) with you."
So the children came, bringing their sheaves, but the boy that had run after the butterflies came empty-handed.
"No one can enter here without sheaves," the angel told him.
Hearing that, the small boy lowered his head.
Then all the other children cried out together. One said, "Dear Angel, let him in! In the morning I was sick and this boy came and played with me, and showed me the butterflies. Also, he gave me one of his sheaves, and I would give it to him again."
Another said, "Dear Angel, let him in! At noon I fainted (昏倒) and fell down. This boy brought me water, and then he showed me the butterflies until I felt better. To me he also gave one of his sheaves, and I would give it to him again."
And a third said, "Just now, as evening was coming, I was tired and I couldn't go on working. But this boy comforted me, showed me the butterflies, and gave me one of his sheaves."
And the other children said with one voice, "We also had sheaves of him, dear angel. "
The angel smiled, and reached his hand inside the gate and brought out a few sheaves. "Here are his sheaves!" said the angel. "They are known and counted, everyone." And he said to the small boy, "Lead the way in!"
Pablo Picasso was an amazing painter who created with colour and shape. His paintings opened people's minds and showed there were many ways to express ideas.
Born in Spain in 1881, Picasso learned to paint at an early age because his father was a painter. At fourteen, Picasso began attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Although Picasso did well, his teachers wouldn't let him develop his own style (风格). So he changed schools. Though his new teachers praised his work, they still criticized (批评) it as being too unusual. Picasso made up his mind to express himself in his own way.
Disappointed at his job in Spain, nineteen-year-old Picasso moved to Paris, where he learned about abstract (抽象派的) art. However, an important development in his own style came along when his best friend killed himself. Picasso was so sad that he painted only in blue and grey. He painted the poor and the disabled. This is known as his "Blue Period".
In 1904, Picasso's painting style changed again when he fell in love with an artist model. He began painting everything with colours of red and pink. He mainly painted circus performers (马戏团表演) and artists during this time, called his "Rose Period".
Picasso's style went through another change as he began to learn about African art and geometry (几何学). Instead of painting with different colours, he used different shapes. His paintings surprised people because they looked like they had been broken and put back together incorrectly. Picasso's new style became known as "Cubism". Cubism was so unusual that it became very popular.
Pablo Picasso is most remembered for his Blue, Rose and Cubism periods. But his painting styles kept changing until his death at age ninety-two.
① He used many shapes.
② He used different colours.
③ He was influenced by African art and geometry.
④ He painted broken things that were put back together perfectly.

An American named Greg Mortenson has written a very popular book with a very unusual title (标题). It's called Three Cups of Tea. In it, Mortenson talks about his experiences building schools for poor children in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Why did he do this? And how did the book get its title?
In 1993, Mortenson wanted to climb a high mountain in Pakistan called K2. He stayed on the mountain for more than 70 days, but he couldn't r the top. After he turned to go down, he became very sick and w. Two local men took him to a small village called Korphe. There, the Balti people took care of him for several weeks u he got stronger. To thank the people of the village for their kindness, he d to build a school in Korphe.
Mortenson worked hard for years to get the money for his first school. Since then, he has built more than 70 schools, and more than 25,000 boys and girls have s in them. His work was sometimes very difficult, because he was a foreigner and his customs (习俗) were d. At that time, it was natural for the girls to stay at home and do the housework instead of going to school. Some men in the villages were very a with him, because they didn't want schools for girls.
But Mortenson learned about the local culture, and he found a good way to break the ice: by drinking tea with the local people. That's where the title of his book comes from. The Balti people have a saying, "The first time you drink tea with a Balti, you are a s. The second time you have tea, you are an honoured (荣幸的) guest. The t time you share a cup of tea, you become family."
By drinking three cups of tea with the local people, Mortenson was able to c with them and learn about their villages and their problems.
