Each of us makes mistakes from time to time. In fact, we can1 a lot from our mistakes.
Donnie was a 2 student and never answered questions in class. He was afraid to make mistakes. He never finished his homework 3 he didn't want to make any mistakes. Nothing changed until Marry Anne, a teacher, came to our4
One morning, Marry Anne asked Donnie to 5 some questions. After a while Donnie was in tears because he made a mistake. Suddenly Marry Anne got a box full of erasers from the desk.
"Look, Donnie," she said standing 6 him. "I've got something to show you." She took out the erasers, one at a time, and put them on the desk.
"See these erasers, Donnie?" she continued (继续). "Do you know 7 the erasers become smaller and smaller? That's because we make mistakes. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That's what you must learn."
"Here," she said, "I'll 8 one eraser on your desk, so you will remember that 9 may make mistakes."
Donnie looked at Marry Anne and smiled.
Donnie 10a lot from then on. He knew that everyone had the permission (许可) to make mistakes as long as you learned them and tried again.
I live on the twelfth floor of a building. One afternoon I am coming home from a friend's house. It is just after four o'clock. I get quickly into the lift and press Button(按钮) 12.
The lift starts to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly(突然) stops between two floors. I couldn't understand it. I press(按)an all the buttons from 1 to 14. I call for help very loudly. But nobody answers.
Then suddenly the lights go out, and I am alone in the dark. I start to cry and beat the walls of the lift. I cry and cry until I have no voice left. Then, I feel hopeless, and press all the buttons with my open hands. And all at the same time, there is a bell far away. It rings and rings. It is the fire alarm(火灾警报). I think the whole building is on fire. I say to the God quietly, “Just get me out of here. I'll never be bad again.”
Just then, I realize the lift is moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stops, and the door opens. A man is standing there. “How long have you been there? It is good that you press the alarm bell. But haven't you learned to read at your school? ” He points at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift. It says： “Attention (注意)： This lift will be stopped for repairs between 4 pm and 5 pm on Thursday, March 13.”
The world is full of amazing things. Today, I'm going to talk about something amazing.
We have lots of things to do every day, so many of us will be tired after a busy day. They all choose sleeping to have a rest. But do you know that sleeping can consume（消耗） many calories. The energy consumed is even more than watching TV. If you want to have a good health, I think you can't sleep too much.
Do you like animals? There are a lot of surprising things they can do. Goldfish are a lovely kind of fish. Most goldfish have quite a short life — only 6 to 7 years. Once, the goldfish called Freb had a very long life. It lived up to 41 years. It was the oldest goldfish in the world. Now if people take good care of the goldfish, they can live more than 10 years. Animals are our friends. We should know more about them and give them a good home. Do you have any interesting stories about amazing things? If so, tell us. Let's share them together.
①Rio2 is a great movie. Blu, Jewel and their three kids leave their home in the city for a trip to the Amazon rainforest (亚马孙雨林).

In the forest the family meets Jewel's father Eduardo and some wild birds. Blu misses the city. But the rest of his family loves the forest and wants to stay forever.
