How do you get on with your teachers? At school, we spend hours with teachers. We learn from them,     1     they teach us to be good people. Teachers care about our studies and lives and     2     seems that they know everything about the subjects they teach. They also have the right     3     decide who should be the class leaders. In class, we obey the rules and keep quiet unless the teacher asks us to speak. Some of us don’ t want to talk     4     teachers after class because we don’t want to trouble them. In fact, teachers     5     like our parents and friends and we can get on well with them easily.

Let me tell you something about my life in Taiyuan.

I’m     1     a middle school. I go to school     2     bike every day. All the teachers and students     3     very nice. I have many friends here. They help     4     with my Chinese. Now I can speak some Chinese. There are many subjects in my school. Music is my favorite,     5     I can learn some Chinese songs.

I love the life here. Why not come to visit China?

Yours,

Ann

Chinese New Year was around the corner. Miss White, a middle school teacher, gave special holiday homework to her     1    . “Please write a letter to your     2     person,” said Miss White. Most students gave a letter     3     their mother or father.     4    , Mike, a shy boy, was different from his classmates. He gave a letter to his art teacher. His classmates were surprised at him. One child said, “I guess he     5     drawing because he often draws after class.” Others guessed that the art teacher gives     6     love and kindness. Then, Miss White asked the little boy     7     he gave the letter to the art teacher. He answered, “It’s him who often takes me by the hand to teach me how to hold a pencil and draw over and over     8    . He never blames（责备）me when I     9     mistakes.” Oh, the boy was showing his love and thanks to his art teacher. What a good boy! Miss White was so moved     10     she hugged（拥抱）the little boy.

A girl was working as a nurse in a private hospital. One day, a patient     1     serious disease was brought to the hospital, but had to be transferred（转移）to another hospital at once for     2     operation（手术）. However, the director of the hospital said the patient couldn’t be transferred unless he paid his bill first. The     3     (patient) family was very poor. They have no choice, but to ask if they could pay the bill after the operation because the patient was close to death. But     4     (they) request was refused.

The nurse, who had just arrived to work, heard about the situation and made a decision. She took off her gold ring, took it to the cashier’s desk（收银台）and     5     (say) she would use it to pay for the patient’s bill. Although the ring was the only piece of valuable gift her parents gave her, the nurse gave it     6     to save the patient. Thanks to her help, the patient was at once transferred to another hospital and his wife was saved. Though the patient was a     7     (strange), the nurse gave so much to him.

The nurse’s action caught the attention of the doctor on duty that day. The doctor saw everything and he was     8     (deep) moved by the nurse. He later fell in love with the nurse and they finally got     9     (marry). The patient attended their wedding（婚礼）as well and returned the ring.

Things like this happen every day in our life. Sometimes,     10     (give) can bring you something that you have never expected before. As Mother Teresa once said, “In our life, it is not how much you do.”

A few years ago, I took my family to Disney World in the summer holidays. During the trip, my 6-year-old daughter was     1     a lot of special attention in all the parks, while her 3-year-old brother was overlooked（忽略）. He was a shy kid and seemed fine with it for the most part.

Since     2     of my kids loved the movie Finding Nemo, we decided that we wouldn’t miss the show Turtle Talk with Crush.     3     this show, the green sea turtle called Crush from Finding Nemo would have a talk with visitors. My son really wanted to be chosen to talk with Crush, but he was too afraid to     4     his hand. My daughter was not afraid and put up her hand, so the cast（全体演员）members     5     my daughter. As the show came to an     6    , we found my son on the floor softly crying. Someone asked me if he was OK, and I explained that he was disappointed（失望的）    7     his sister had been getting so much attention and this was the one thing he had really hoped to be chosen for. A cast member told us to wait.

Once the room was empty, Crush came back onto the screen and     8     a few minutes talking one-to-one with my son about what it was like to live in the sea, even giving     9     a little swimming lesson. I can’t tell you how     10     we were that the cast at the show had gone out of their way to help a sad kid. I think it made a big difference to my son.

【推荐3】When I was in the     1     (five) grade, I was picked to be the princess ( 公主) in the school play.

For weeks my mother helped me practice my sentences. But once during a performance, every word disappeared from my head. So my teacher asked me to change the roles and be the narrator(解说).     2    I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she felt my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.

It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions （蒲公英）coming out     3    (穿过）the grass, just like a painter had touched our woods and fields with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by some flowers. “I think I am going to dig up all the wild grass,” she said. “But I like dandelions, all flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!”

I said. My mother look at me     4    (serious) . “Yes, every flower shines in     5     (it) own way. And that is true for people, too,” she said. She had guessed my pain I started to cry and told her the    6    (true). “You will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how     7    I loved to read stories aloud to her. I felt much     8    (good) than before.

Over the next few weeks, I learned to take    9     in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes    10     the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you.,” she said, handing me a dandelion, After the play, I took the flower home, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such wild grass.
