Hello, my name is Li Ming. I 1 1.5 years old. I go to Ximen School. This is my 2 photo. They are my 3. He is my father and she is my mother. My father is 40 years old and my 4 is 38 years old. My father is a doctor in a 5. My mother is an English 6 in my school. This 7 is my sister. She is 11 years old. She likes English and she 8 to be an English teacher in the future(未来). It's a 9 family. I 10 my family.
Now, almost every family has the television. Television makes people know a lot of things which they don't know before.
Mike likes watching TV very much. From TV programs, he knows ships. Then Mike loves ships. When he was older, he said, "I'm going to be a soldier (士兵)." But his eyes were not very1, and he didn't get in.
Then he said, "I'm going to2a small boat and I'm going around the world." But boats were very expensive, and Mike didn't have enough3.
Last summer Mike found a swimming4near his house. The lessons didn't cost very5, and Mike began going to the school at weekends and having6. Now he is a good swimmer.

My mother only had one eye. And because of this, I never wished her to show up in my school, being afraid that my classmates would 1 I had an ugly mother.
One day during primary school, I was terribly ill. My mother came.
"Your mom only has one eye?" asked some of my classmates. I was so 2.
I wished my mother would just 3 from this world." If you make me teased(嘲笑), why don't you just die?" I shouted at her, taking no notice of the sad look on her face. My mother just handed me some medicine and left without saying 4.
At that time, I felt 5 to say what I always wanted to say, and I didn't think I had hurt her feelings very much. That night I saw my mom crying in her room, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might 6 me. Even so, I hated her tears from one eye. I made a decision: I must study hard and leave my mother.
Years later my dream came true. I was quite successful and lived 7. I never thought of going back to see my" ugly "mother until one day I got a letter, which said, "My son... I'm sorry I only have one eye. When you were little, you got into a(n) 8 and lost your eye. As a mom, I couldn't stand watching you live with only one eye.9 gave you mine. I was never angry with you and I never regretted
(后悔) what I did because I 10 you..."
I cried out aloud. Only then did I realize how beautiful my mother was!
Helping others always brings you something sooner or later, one way or another. I didn't know that until one day when I went to my 1 school.
It was a cold and 2 morning after the winter vacation. Actually, it was my 3 day at my new school. I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things. It was early and there weren't many people on the road. A girl 4 was on a bike passed me quickly. She was riding on snowy ice when suddenly she fell off her bike just a few steps in front of me. She was trying hard to get up 5 fell again. Without thinking, I went over and helped her stand up. She said" Thank you" with a smile and then rode away. The words" Thank you 6 me and this small event made me feel less nervous about my new school.
7, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit down 8 a girl. I was so nervous. I knew some of the students were looking at me but I didn't dare to look at them. Soon the first class started. It was English. They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn't have a copy. As I was wondering what to do, a book appeared in front of me." Let's share," the girl next to me said. "And hi. I'm Carrie." I 9 . It was the girl I helped that morning,10 a surprise!
From then on, we became good friends. She was my first and best friend at my new school. Helping her also helped me find a friend.
I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a boxcar in a freight yard in Atlantic City, and1on my head. Now, I am 32. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again But a disaster can do strange things to people.
At the time, I was bewildered and afraid, but I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me, a potential, which I didn't see. And they made me want to fight it out with2
The hardest3I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker for the rest of my life. When I say believe in myself, I am not talking about 4 the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is5of it, but I mean something bigger than that: a confidence that I am a real,6person; that somewhere there is a special place7I can make myself fit. It took me years to discover and strengthen this confidence. It had to8the most elementary things.
I can still remember once, when a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me, and I was9
"I can't use this," I said.
"Take it with you," he urged me "and roll it around."
The words10in my head: "Roll it around, roll it around" By rolling the ball, I could11where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought12: playing baseball.
At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind, I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it groundball.
All my life. I have13ahead of me a series of goals, and then tried to reach them one at a time I would14sometimes anyway, but on the average, I made progress.
I believe in life now. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me more15what I had left.
As a child, I truly feared the dark, I was also afraid of getting lost and not being liked by others. These fears were very real and caused me some 1 moments.
Sometimes the things in my room looked and sounded strange, which made me feel afraid. My mother always kept a small nightlight on for me, so there was 2 total darkness inside. But a street light or passing car lights made clothes hanging over a chair become the shape 3 a wild animal. Out of the corner of my window, I saw the curtains seem to move although there was no 4. A tiny sound would seem a hundred times 5 than that in the daytime. My heart would beat fast. All I could do was to 6 still in bed so that the "enemy" would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on my way home from school. Every morning I 7 the school bus near my home. That was no problem. After school, all the buses were lined up along the street, but I was afraid that I would get on the 8one and be taken to some other strange places. On school trips to a park, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
One of the processes of growing up is being able to overcome 9 fears. As we grow up, we'll understand the things that scared us when we were children. And we can deal with our problems in our life 10we understand them. The more things we understand during our lifetime, the braver we will be.
Do you know King George VI of England? He was famous for many things. However, if you've ever seen the film The King's Speech, you will know that he had 1 in speaking in public. That was not because he was 2. In fact, he had a stammer (口吃). So it was not 3 for him to give a perfect public speech.
When learning a 4, one of the biggest difficulties that many learners have is fear (害怕). Though there is no reason to be 5 when speaking, it can be hard to have the confidence to 6 yourself in another language. Here is something you can 7 George VI.
Find an expert (专家) to help you. For King George, that was a speech therapist. For most of us, that will be a good teacher, online courses, or a book.
Find out what your 8 are. George VI found out the letters he had trouble pronouncing (发音) and 9 them again and again. If you are a language learner, you must find out what you can't do or aren't good at and then try to solve them.
Practice hard. Practice makes perfect. King George practiced lots of words and sounds 10. He also practiced giving speeches to others.
Frank was a middle school student. His father was very (严厉的) with him. He felt unhappy and he left home (独自地). He couldn't find a job so he had to make a living by begging.
Years (以后), his father was old, but he was still looking for his son. He went to every corner of the city. (每个地方) he went, he put up a big photo of himself and Frank on the wall. At the (顶端) of the photo, he wrote," I still love you, my son. Please come back home."
One day, Frank (看见) one of the photos. The faces on the photo were familiar to him, "Is that my father?" He (想) for a while and decided to go back to see his father.
It was an early morning when he got home. The door was (开着的). He rushed to his father's bedroom. "It's me! Your son is back home." They hugged each other. The son asked, "Why is the door unlocked?"
The father (回答) in soft voice," Because I'm looking forward to your (返回). In fact, the door has never been locked since you left."
Tom and Steve were twin brothers.Tom loved to play basketball. But Steve loved to read books. One day Tom was playing basketball1he fell and broke his leg. When they took him to the hospital, the doctor said he wouldn't be able to play for six months. Steve went2him and brought him books on basketball. At first Tom wasn't going to read them. Then he began to read them and 3 that there were ways he could play basketball better. He began to think that books weren't4.When Tom's leg started getting better, Steve would help him by going for walks with him. 5Tom's doctor said he could start playing basketball again. Then Tom showed Steve how to toss(投)for baskets. Steve found that he enjoyed it.
Then Tom was ready to6the basketball games. Steve went to watch the games and enjoyed himself. They then7 practiced basketball and read books together. So you can see, when8 happens, something good may also happen. Steve showed Tom about books and Tom showed Steve about basketball. So you can also9 showing others something that you like to do and they can show you something that they like to do. 10 you can find new things to do.
I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following me with two more. By the time I got to the third floor, I was 1 and at the same time feeling lonely. Worse still, Dad 2 a step and fell, sending my new suitcases rolling down the stairs. "Damn!" he cried out, his face turning red. I knew 3 was ahead. Whenever Dad's face turns red, look out! How could I ever get him to finish unloading the car without 4 at me and making a scene in front of the other girls, girls I would have to spend the5 years with?
Doors were 6and eyes were peering (偷窥) out, as Dad walked with difficulty close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life wasn't getting off to a 7start.
"God bless me to 8 the room quickly," I said to myself, feeling ashamed. "Get him into a chair and calmed down." But then again, would there be a chair in Room 316? Or would it be a(n) 9 room?
We arrived at Room 316 10. I turned the key in the lock and 11 the door open, with Dad still complaining (抱怨) about a hurting knee or 12. I put my head into the room, expecting the 13. But to my surprise, the room wasn't empty at all! It had furniture, curtains, a TV, and 14paintings on the walls.
And there on a well-made bed sat Amy, my new 15, listening to music. Greeting me with a nod, she said in a soft voice, "Hi, you must be Cori." Then, she 16 the music and looked over at my 17"And of course, you're Mr. Faber," she said smiling 18. "Would you like a glass of iced tea?" Dad's face turned decidedly less 19 before he could bring out a "yes."
I knew there and 20 that Amy and I would be friends! And my years of college would certainly be a success.
