1 . Long long ago, there was a man and his wife who worked for a wise man. One day, the wise man pointed to a big box in his living room and said, “There’s only one thing you mustn’t do: Don’t open the __________.” After saying this, he left home.   

The woman said to her husband, “There must be __________ expensive in the box. Let’s open it, shall we?” Her husband didn’t want to __________ it, but the woman wouldn’t give up.

A few days later, the woman made a decision to find out what was in the box. Before her husband could stop her, she opened the box and __________ it, expecting something expensive in it. However, there was nothing in the box. She was very __________. She tried hard to close the box, __________ she couldn’t do that.

That evening, the wise man __________ back. When he got home, he found that the box was open. He was very angry and he asked the woman and her __________ to leave his home at once. “But there was nothing __________ the box,” the woman said. “We haven’t taken anything at all.” The wise man shouted, “The box is not important. Now I know that I can’t believe in you. That’s what is __________!”

This story tells us the importance of being honest.

5 . Sports can help us a lot. Taking exercises can make us strong. In collective sports like basketball, volleyball or football, we will learn the importance of cooperation. And sports can also help us relax after work or study.

However, as the saying goes, “there are two sides of everything.” Sometimes we may hurt other players or ourselves if we are not careful enough when participating in sports activities. What’s more, too much or hard practice can be bad for our health.

Sports can make us healthy both physically and psychologically. It is also a good way for people to know each other and can improve friendship between people. So long as we are careful enough, sports can do us nothing but good.
