Once I went to a German city for vacation. The trip left a     1     (deep) impression on me than before. It was already dark outside when I arrived at the airport at 6 p.m. The first thing was to find a place to stay. I decided     2     (call) the youth hotel. But to use the phone I    3     (need) some coins. I asked a lady for help. To my surprise, she gave me three     4     (coin) to use. But all the phones there needed phone cards which could only be bought at post-offices during the daytime. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to call the hotel.     5     old gentleman helped me. He couldn’t speak English     6     understand that I needed to make a phone call. He showed me to the phone and inserted（插入）his phone card. I called the hotel and found a place to stay that night. The     7     (kind) of German people made me feel at home.

Wherever I went, I asked people for directions. It surprised me that almost every young German could speak English     8     ( fluent). Older Germans couldn’t speak English very well, but they would try to help me whenever they could. One middle-aged man even drove me to the place I was looking for. My experience in Germany completely changed     9     (I) impression of Germans.

I thought Germans were not     10     (friend) to foreigners before, but things have changed since then. The people in Germany couldn’t be more friendly.

3 . When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.

I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. After choosing his presents, he came to the checkout counter (交款处) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.

Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”

Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.

I would like to say "thank you" to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.

Tom is a little boy. He lives next to my door.

Yesterday, when I arrive home after school, I found Tom sitting beside the door. He told me that he had lost his key, so I invited him my house. Then he began to do her homework. After an while, I called his mother but told her what had happened. Soon Tom finished his homeworks. Since it is still early, I decided to play chess with him. Tom was good at play chess and we had a wonderfully time. Later, Tom's mother returned home and thanked me a lot of. Actually, I was happy to be helpful.

6 . After reading your letter, I know that you are worried about losing your friends. You used to have lots of _________, but you stopped talking to them after you made friends with Li Hua, who   _________ your class a few months ago. Now Li Hua has moved to another city, and you have no friends _________ your old friends think you were mean to them. You feel very sad.

As we all know, it is not easy being new, and it was nice of you to be so _________ to Li Hua. You did the _________ thing when you made friends with him. However, it was not such a good idea for you to _________ talking to your old friends. What happened is in the past, and there is no need to _________ this now. I suggest that you talk to your old friends first instead of waiting for them to talk to you. At an appropriate time, tell them you are sorry and give them a(n) _______ for your actions. They will be happy to see that you _________ value them. You have learnt a valuable   __________ in life: make new friends but keep the old ones.
