1 . It was a busy morning and I had several things to do before it became too hot to be outside the house. As I was walking by the side of a busy road, I saw an old lady, maybe in her 80s standing dangerously close to the traffic. Although my mind was preoccupied (心事重重的), I thought to myself that I should warn her not to stand so close to the disordered traffic rushing by.

When I reached the place where the old lady was standing, I noticed that she was trying to get the attention of passers-by who of course were too busy to take note of her. She kept pointing to the middle of the road. When I tried to gently move her back further away from the busy road, she said that she was standing there because she had dropped her house key in the middle of the road and was unable to open her house without the key. I looked around and no one seemed to be interested in the two of us. I knew I was getting late but decided to help.

The traffic was busy on the road with people on their bikes and office goers in cars as well as school buses rushing with school children. It was the worst time of the day to cross a busy road without a traffic light. I asked the old lady to stay at a safe distance, took a deep breath, and I myself carefully stepped onto the road waving my hands madly almost expecting to be hit by an oncoming vehicle. At first one lane (车道) stopped and then I moved further on to the middle of the road continuing to wave my hand. Just then a school bus was approaching me and I bravely stepped in front of it to stop it.

The driver seemed so angry that he shouted at me.     1    

I carefully helped the old lady leave the crowded street.     2    

A．I explained to him that I was going to fetch the key for the old lady. The driver understood me and was moved by my behavior. He said he would block the car behind him so I could get the key. I walked to the middle of the road, found the old lady’s key, and handed it into her hand. At this time, I heard cheers coming from the school bus.

B．I asked him what the problem was. He said he had just come from the airport without a customer and he had no money to pay for the bill. Hearing this,I comforted him patiently that everything would be fine later.After chatting with me,his anger slowly died down.He said goodbye to me with gratitude.

C．Knocked down by the bus, the old lady was lying on the road, crying loudly. Her cry attracted so many passers-by that the street was crowed in one minute. But nobody dared to give her a hand. Seeing this, I walked to her to help the old lady stand up .

D．She thanked me again and again. Considering that the old lady couldn’t follow the traffic rules, I thought it would be dangerous for her to go home alone. She might get into trouble again on the road. I decided to help her to the end. Asking the old lady to wait by the side of the road, I stopped a taxi and asked the driver to send the old lady home safely.

7 . If you ask me what my favourite sport is, my answer is swimming. I had started learning how to swim when I was five years old and I have been swimming ever since. There are many reasons why I love swimming but I’ll just share a few with you, and maybe I can even encourage you to go for a swim.

The first reason why I love swimming is that it can be extremely relaxing. I love the feeling of floating on the water, feeling almost weightless. I find that whenever I leave the pool I feel totally relaxed.

On the other hand, it can also be a competitive sport. It’s amazing pushing yourself to the challenge of beating someone else to the finishing line and it’s great fun racing across the pool as fast as you can! Trying little tricks like underwater handstands and flips (空翻) also puts a big smile on my face.

Another reason why I love swimming is that it has more varieties (种类) than other sports. Swimming offers many different strokes (游法), so it doesn’t feel like you’re stuck doing the same thing over and over again.

In the summer, swimming provides a nice break! There’s nothing better than jumping into the water on a hot summer’s day. The pool makes you feel better immediately. And I think it adds to the summer holiday feeling. As for me the summer months are when I swim most.

And finally, it’s a life skill which everyone should have. Not only is it good for your health, but you never know when you’ll need your ability to swim.

Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.

At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.

Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant(傲慢的)boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.

When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar?” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.

When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling that his uncle bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.

At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad.

Then Fahad said, “Why are you giving back?”
