An Honest Mistake
Mary double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool things.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
After a break, Ms. Green announced the result, “Congratulations, Mary! You did it!” The whole class erupted! Ms. Green presented Mary with her prize. Mary smiled as she read the label on the box: To Mary Carter, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.
“Mom, everything’s PERFECT!” Mary shouted, showing her spelling test and prize when she got home.
Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad and Kevin can see it when they get home.”
“And our cat, Kitty, too. Can you spell nicely, Kitty? And quickly and honesly, and...” Mary’s stomach tumbled (暴跌) to the floor. Honesly? H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!
“Mary, what’s the matter?” said Mom.
“I don’t feel so good,” Mary said, putting Kitty down and putting the test paper into her backpack quickly.
Mom prepared some tea for Mary. After drinking a few sips, Mary walked slowly to her room and fell onto her bed. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all?
Soon Mary heard her dad and Kevin come in. The smell of pizza floated in the air.
Mary thought back to the last time they’d picked up pizza, after Kevin’s school play. They had almost reached home when Mom realized the shop owner had given them too much change. On finding this, Mom turned back without hesitation.
The whole time they were driving back to the pizzeria, Kevin kept saying, “It’s not our fault. The shop owner should have been more careful.”
Had Kevin been right?
Mary went into the kitchen. Dad laughed and asked her where she had put the test. After all, there need some proof if they were having the pizza to celebrate.

Daniel was the new boy in our school. The teacher assigned (安排) me to him. He couldn’t hear or talk. So he had an adult with him. She explained what professors were teaching in sign language (手语). Sometimes I got caught staring at him and my friends teased (嘲笑) me all day. I noticed him going everywhere all alone with no friends at all. Sometimes I felt worried, maybe even concerned.
We were assigned as lab partners and surprisingly he wasn’t as bad as I thought. We would both sit quietly and do our work. But when it came to communication and his translator wasn’t there.it was a mess. At first, I could barely understand what he was doing with his hands. I could see in his eyes that he was getting annoyed at me. From trying to communicate with sign language he moved to pictures and words. That worked well for both of us, but my drawing skills were not as good as his, so I stuck towards and gestures.
The second semester went by well and quickly. Daniel and I understood each other pretty well. I could understand some of his hand movements. I realized that Daniel was different from anyone. I’d ever met me included. When he saw that people couldn’t understand him, he came up with another way of communicating. His artistic (艺术的) ability was matchless (无敌的). Then he became my best friend and we both understood each other pretty well despite our differences. During the winter break. I tried to get Daniel to play some games with me and. to my surprise he was better than I expected (期待). I also learnt a lot from him.

Inokid Ladies College has brought success to many girls over the years. Last year, there were two exceptional students. They. were called Pinksha and Redsha. Pinksha was popular and admired by everyone. Her beauty was classic. She bought herself clothes and accessories (配饰) from the best shopping malls. However, her interest had always been in what is skin-deep. Books and college did not exist in her mind.
Redsha, on the contrary, was a brainy girl from a small village. She was always lost in her own thoughts about worldly matters but still cared about her studies, having excellent marks. She had a kind heart, but she had only a few friends. She was always teased about her average looks and round figure but she never bothered.
Mr. Yellowdish, their class teacher, gave an unexpected test during their class session. Redsha calmed reached for her pencil and answered all the questions with confidence. On that day, Pinksha rushed to the class. She had woken up late again due to attending a party in the previous night. She sat through the test without answering any questions on the examination sheets.
Ten days later, Mr. Yellowdish walked into the class with a stern (严肃的) expression. Redsha was nervously thinking of her mark. She prayed hard for a high mark despite her hard work.

Of all the people in Lily’s life, one in particular stands out. As Lily thinks of Shanda, a smile spreads across her face. She feels loved and grateful more than ever that she has such a teacher and friend. Thanks to Shanda’s presence, Lily has become a good dancer now.
Eleven years of dance and going on twelve that year, she thought it would end up like any other year. She would never win any prize in the dance contest. She might be stuck in any empty spot and didn’t know what to do with her next dance move. But little did she know that year would change her completely.
That year, Lily felt lucky that Shanda would choreograph (编舞) for her dance. Lily expected to work with Shanda, a young talented dancer, to have an okay dance, but she never expected she would have such an impressive influence on her way to dance.
The moment Lily walked into the marble floored, wall-to-wall mirrored rooms, she already felt like Shanda had faith in her. Shanda smiled at her with appreciative eyes. In the following days, Shanda always encouraged her, “Work to the best of your ability and keep going.” When she wanted to give up, Shanda told her that the real importance of dance was to love it.
Through their hard work and devotion, not only did Lily’s ability to dance grow, but also their friendship grew. Shanda became more than a teacher to Lily. She was also a close friend that Lily could turn to for anything. Shanda gave her encouragement and was always there to cheer Lily up when she felt down.
As the year quickly came to an end, it was high time for Lily to show her dance to the audience. As she walked to the backstage filled with other dancers warming up and expecting their performance, she prayed for a good performance that would convey her improvement. The rhythmic music before her rang in her cars. She waited anxiously for her turn. Finally, after what seemed like days, the hostess announced “Lily”.
