Liam was an introvert(内向的人). On his first day of transferring to a new school,he felt nervous and didn’t talk to anyone. However, when he was eating his lunch alone in the cafeteria, a boy named Joel approached him and talked to him. And coincidentally, they became deskmates.
As days passed, Liam and Joel became friends. After school, they often played catch together. It was a game they both loved playing.
One day, Joel skipped school, and Liam had to sit alone in class, At noon, his class teacher Mary said that Joel got into an accident and he lost his parents in the car crash. Joel was severely injured and was in the hospital.
After returning home that day, Liam cried while telling his mother what had happened to Joel, He asked his mother if he could see Joel at the hospital, but she told him the doctors weren’t allowing any visitors at that time. “Don’t worry, Liam. Joel’s grandmother is looking after him at the hospital. He will be fine,” his mother assured him.
Meanwhile, Liam missed his best friend at school and wished he would join him at school soon. Since Joel was his only friend and other students didn’t like talking to him, he spent most of the time in school alone.
Fifteen days later, Joel returned home and Liam couldn’t wait to see his friend. Liam rushed to Joel’s house with a candy bar and the ball they used to play catch with. However,his friend was now confined to a wheelchair and depended on his grandmother to move around.Liam felt terrible knowing Joel could never walk again. Moreover, seeing his elderly grandma struggle to push the wheelchair made Liam feel even worse.
Later that night, Liam kept thinking of all the ways he could help Joel and then realized buying an electric wheelchair would be the best option. Since an electric wheelchair would be expensive, he decided to set up a charity contest at school. But he needed to ask his teacher first.

A Christmas Adventure
I remember my first Christmas adventure with Grandma. I remember crying all the way across town on my bike to visit her on the day my big sister dropped the bomb: “There is no Santa Claus,” she jeered. “Even dummies(傻瓜) know that!”
I fled to Grandma that day because I knew Grandma always told the truth. “No Santa Claus? Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad! Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.” “Go? Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had almost everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money,” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of the store.
For a few moments I just stood there, confused, wondering what to buy, and who on earth to buy it for. Suddenly I thought of Bobby Decker. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out to recess(课间休息) during the winter. He always had bad breath and messy hair. I fingered the ten-dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat!
I settled on a red coat that had a hood(风帽) to it. It looked real warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes, ma’am,” I replied shyly. “It’s for Bobby.” The nice lady smiled at me, as I told her about how Bobby really needed a good winter coat. I didn’t get any change, but she put the coat in a bag, smiled again, and wished me a Merry Christmas.
Paragraph 1:
That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper and wrote,

It was the summer holidays. Being bored, the twins, Tim and Gemma, wandered off down the street.
For a while, they came to old Mary Carpenter’s house. Carpenter was a retired schoolteacher. Uncle Bill said she was as old as the dinosaurs because she had taught him! He said if you were late handing in your homework, her eyes flashed and she breathed fire. He said she could melt ice with just one look.
The twins usually hurried past old Mary Carpenter’s house as quickly as possible. Her house was old and scary. Tim looked up at the windows to see if Mary Carpenter was watching them. To his surprise, he saw a large hand shut down the window. However, it couldn’t have been Miss Carpenter! Her hands were small and wrinkled (起皱的). Tim asked, “Does old Mary Carpenter have visitors? ” Gemma looked confused and said “Uncle Bill says she’s a hermit (隐士). He says she never has any visitors, ever.”
They couldn’t help thinking: What if Miss Carpenter was in danger and they were the only ones who knew someone was in her house? Tim decided to have a look.
Tim reached up to ring the doorbell. A large, strong hand curved around the door, followed by a large body.Tim looked up into the meanest face he had ever seen.
“What do you want?”the man asked in an impatient tone.
“I...I want to see Miss Carpenter, please,” said Tim.
“She’s resting at the moment. Just get out of here!”the man shouted.
“OK, fine, I may come next time” said Tim quickly.
Tim turned and walked quickly back to where Gemma was waiting anxiously. They both were shaking as if it was suddenly chilly. They could almost feel his eyes on their backs. The man was watching them.
“Something is really wrong, Gemma. I just know it. That man acted really weirdly.The point is, what are we going to do about it? ” Tim and Gemma sat down on the grass to think.

It was around 7 on Monday morning. Paul, a ticket gateline assistant, was working his usual shift at Leagrave Station. “Another wonderful day!” he thought and began to hum (哼) a tune. Suddenly a flash of movement around Platform One caught his attention. After taking a closer look, he realized it was a dog without a collar, silly and excitable, running round after nothing at all.
“Oh!” he hurried down, appeared in a flash and successfully got hold of the dog, but it managed to struggle free out of his grasp, jumped down on the tracks and got stuck.
Panic struck among standers-by as the dog madly raced up and down the tracks, trying to find a way out. There was a lot of noise of people shouting and dog barking. Then the train kicked in.
Obviously, there was no time left to wait for the dog to jump out on his own, but he was not allowed to go down on the track. So he took out his phone and rang the signalman to warn the trains, getting them to slow down, ready to stop if necessary.
Like a cat on hot bricks, he looked around to find something useful. Luckily a guy on the platform there had some bread. So without any hesitation, Paul took the bread and used it to attract the dog as the last hope. Immediately, the dog came over to the platform edge with wagging (摇) tails. But it couldn’t jump back up. That’s not the thing, Paul thought.
Just as it put its paws up to get the bread, Paul managed to grab it. Thank goodness. Paul dragged it up on to the platform. He couldn’t let go of it for fear that it would struggle free a second time. He just held on, stroking its fur and patting on its head to calm it down. Finally he took the dog into the safety of the staffroom.

I stood in front of the house, waiting for Grandma’s box of cookies. Every Saturday, a box of cookies would arrive on our doorstep tied with a brown string. As far as I could remember, Grandma, carrying the box, was always there on time.
Jack, my younger brother, had always been fonder of the cookies. He was still childish, maybe not understanding the value of time with family. As for me, I was always Grandma’s little girl, and possibly she loved me more than Mom. There was something about Grandma that made her so special. In fact, seeing her every Saturday was the happiest thing all week for me.
Jack played in the yard and picked flowers for the dinner table. Mom always wanted the prettiest ones, and Jack just knew which ones she would love most.
“The weather report says today will be a rainy day. So will Grandma still come?” Jack asked.
“I’m not sure,” I answered, looking up at the sky. The clouds were dark gray and thick, which just made me more upset. However, Jack didn’t seem too excited about the cookies this time. He was arranging his flowers attentively.
“You’d better come in! I can feel a few raindrops on my head,” Mom shouted. Jack quickly ran towards her, carrying many flowers. Some even slipped out of his hands, creating a colorful trail behind him.
“I brought you some roses, Mom!” Jack said, shoving (猛推) the flowers into her hands. I found he left some flowers in his hand. Who was he going to give them to? Mom then looked back at me. “Would you rather be outside in the rain?” she questioned. I shook my head. “It’s just a box of cookies. I can get it next Saturday,” I thought. However, I knew it was more about the cookies — it was a lot of love from Grandma.
Mom gave me a small smile and repeated, “I knew you wouldn’t want to get wet. Come in, baby.” I was about to step inside when a familiar voice came, “Jenny, I’m coming!” I turned back and saw Grandma shuffling (拖着脚走) towards me.

It was almost dark and some streets were already lighted. Everyone seemed to go home in a hurry. Passing a well-dressed man, little ragged Rafiq called again, holding a paper high up with one hand," Daily Star, Sir, only eight cents..."But the man went on without a word. Rafiq had been up and down the street the whole day crying but there were still twenty papers under his arms.
The shops would soon close and he would have to go home too, carrying papers instead of money. He had longed to have more money tonight to buy a cake for his mother and some bird-seed for his favourite pet Bulbul which was a gift from his father before he died. He had spent all the money both he and his mother possessed to buy papers. It was heartbreaking and more than he could bear to think about that.
"An unlucky day!" sighed Rafiq and his eyes fell on the last page of Daily Star.
An honest boy wanted ---Truefulness and honesty is what he owns.
(Public, 425 Lafayette St.212-967-7555, Mr.Iskandar)
"Honesty?" Rafiq breathed deeply.
"Hello, Rafiq. Haven’t you sold your papers yet? I sold mine 2 hours ago." Rafiq looked up and saw Sardul, another news boy.
"Why? That’s more than 160 copies."
"Rafiq," said Sardul as he drew near to him so that no one would hear what he was going to say. "You must run quickly up the street and shout ‘Hot news！Bomb bursting at local school. Many died’."
"But it’s not in the paper!"
"Nobody will catch you. Just run away quickly before they have time to see, and you’ll sell out and get your money."
Paragraph 1：
Rafiq dipped his hand into his pocket, feeling the few notes and coins there, lost in thought.

Mary and her little son Andy lived alone and led a hard life. They didn’t have much, but there was always food on the table-for Andy, at least.
To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn’t give up. Each day when she finally got home, she’d bring Andy home from a kind neighbor, who attended to her boy for hours daily.
Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about getting late for work. She had a long day ahead, but she didn’t even make it to her house’s front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At the time, Andy was preparing to go to school.
Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head hit the sofa’s edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital.
Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy’s hand on her shoulder. The doctor brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn’t help crying. “What am I going to do now?” she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears in eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom!” And it saddened them both again because Mary could barely hear Andy’s words.
The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device. “Who has that kind of money?” Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless.
But Andy wasn’t. “Mom has taken good care of me for years. It’s high time that I did something to try to repay her,” Andy thought. He was determined to take a part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance was very good, he decided to work as a tutor for grade kids.
