Jo worked at a bush school whose classrooms    1    (make) of bamboo and the roofs of grass.

There’s no electricity or water there.     2    took the students about two hours to get to the schoo1. It’s very difficult for newcomers to adapt to the    3    (1ive) conditions. Jo hoped    4     (make) some difference to the children’s lives by teaching them. The other day, Jo visited Tombe’s home with another teacher. When they arrived at the village, Tombe’s mother    5    had been working in her garden,     6    (start) crying “ieee ieee”. Tombe’s father led them to his house, a low bamboo hut with grass    7    (stick) out of the roof, where he could only see one broom, a few tin plates and cups and a couple of jars.     8    they ate were sweet potatoes, corn and greens. That night Jo and Jenny slept on a    9    (new) made platform. They left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm    10    (handshake). It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family．

Christmas is no fun when you're poor. Twenty years ago, I was a young,     1     (struggle) substitute teacher (代课老师) whose calls into work had been few. Money was tight, but bills were due and my wife and I couldn't even afford     2       (get) Christmas gifts for each other. The only gifts we could get for our children     3     (be) a few soft toys that I had found     4     (sell) at half price in the supermarket. I opened the door and brought in the gifts I had hidden in our old car's trunk. Then I handed them to my son     5     daughter. I watched with a sad smile as they did their best to tear off the wrapping (包装) paper. As they pulled out their     6     (toy) , though. I noticed their eyes lit up and they jumped up and down. My daughter     7     (happy) hugged her toy and then hugged her mom and me as well. I laughed as I watched my children play with their toys     8     hours, and I thanked God for the     9     (great) gift I had ever been given. Till today I still treasure the gift of pure love     10    my son and daughter gave me that day.

It was Mother's Day morning last year. My five­year­old son, Tenyson, and I     1     (leave)the supermarket after shopping when an old woman fell over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her, but the woman was     2       (serious) hurt and shaking with pain.

At the front of the supermarket a charity (慈善) group was selling flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we     3     ( buy) the lady a flower. “It will make     4       feel better，” he said. I was amazed that he'd come up     5       such a sweet idea. So we went to the flower seller to buy a flower for the lady.

By now rescuers had arrived, and were attending the     6     (injure)woman. As we walked up to her, my son became frightened by all the blood and medical     7    (equip). He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband     8       told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and bought her this flower to cheer her up.”

At that, the old man was moved and said, “Thank you so much, you have a good son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”

The man then gave his wife the flower,     9     (tell) her who it was from.     10       badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with thanks in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

Many years ago, I worked     1     a volunteer at a hospital. Then I got to know a lovely little girl     2     (name) Liz who was suffering from a rare life threatening disease. Her only chance of     3     (recover) appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year-old brother,     4     had somehow survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies (抗体) needed     5     (fight) the illness.

The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment     6     taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes, I'll do it if it will save her."

As the transfusion progressed, he     7     (lie) in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did,     8     (see) the color returning to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with     9     trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?".

Being young, the little boy     10     (misunderstand) the doctor; he knew he was going to have to give his sister all his blood in order to save her.

On a bench in Regen’s Park, London, on October 7, 1970, a young man    1    (study) for MBA degree at London Business School met an Irish girl who first arrived in London. The young man was going to become    2    engineer at Chrysler Corporation.

However, his life was about to change because of the girl in front of him. The two of them fell in love    3    first sight and married a year later. Normally, they would    4    (probable) each get a stable job and live a middle-class life day in an day out. But they thought they wanted more    5    (free) in their life. As a result, the young couple    6    (buy) a small car a year later and started an overland journey through Europe and Asia. Eventually, they crossed the whole Oceania and arrived in Australia. Here they met with many other people wanting to travel on their own, all of    7    were eager to know the details of their travels. So the couple published a book to share    8    (them) travel experiences, in the end, they opened a company that popularized all kinds of travel knowledge and experience and thus became a most    9    (success) backpackers in the world.

The young man    10    (call) Tony Wheeler, and the Irish girl is Mauren Wheeler. That is how Lonely Planet was born.

My husband and I were paying a visit    1    my parents in Tucson. We went to a fast﹣food restaurant for dinner together.My husband went to the counter    2    (order) dishes and I stood with my parents.

My dad is 90years old. He can hardly see very well and walks with a stick. I was scanning the restaurant,    3    (wait) to sit at the first table that was    4    (convenient) than others.A woman who was sitting with her son made eye contact with me and asked me to come to her. With a    5    (puzzle) look on my face, I pointed to myself and said, "Me?" She    6    (nod) and said, "Yes,you." I walked to the table and she said," Bring your family here. I can finish eating at the counter. My son is in    7    hurry to leave anyway." My eyes    8    (fill) with tears as she wiped down the table and guided my dad to the seat.

I always believe that there are    9    (nature) kind people in this world.This woman has set a good example to her son,    10    is a really lucky guy.

Despite losing one arm, Zhang Jiacheng hopes to never lose his love    1    basketball or willingness    2    (improve) his skill on the court.

The 13-year-old boy    3     (recent) gained wide attention in China when a video of his excellent dribbling(控球) skills in a one-on-one situation     4    (post) online.

“I's so    5    (encourage). How can you easily give u your efforts after watching his video?” One netizen wrote on Weib.

Born in southern Chinese province of Guangdong, Zhang lost his right arm in    6    accident at just five year's of age,    7    was a catastrophe for such a young kid. Zhang, however, decided to face up to the hardship, and not let the fate control his life.

Because he has a dream: to be a basketball player.

Be it rainy or windy, Zhang never stops playing basketball, and    8    (witness) huge improvement in his skills so far.

In the vide, Zhang displayed his dibbling abilities in front of a defense    9    (make) up of several professional basketball players, and received a loud cheer from people watching on site.

Zhang has posted 13 videos of him developing basketball skills and earned almost one million    10    (like).

“Give it a try, or give it up,” Zhang wrote when posting one video.

Indeed, he chose the former.

One day I went out during lunch time and on the way back I bought a sandwich in a local restaurant. When I returned to work. I realized I didn’t have my sandwich. I called the restaurant    1    (see) if I’d left it on the counter(柜台). They said I hadn’t, but that if I lost the sandwich they would make another sandwich for me. The restaurant    2    (be) a few minutes from the college.

I    3    (touch)by this. I teach business studies as well as office management and I told this story to all my    4    (student).

One day about five years    5    (late), I was having lunch in that same restaurant.

I asked if I could speak to    6    manager. He came to my table and he looked like he was ready to consider my complaint(投诉). I told him about his kindness all those years. I also told him that I used this    7    a great example of excellent customer service in my business study classes. He was    8    (real) touched. He would never have known that I was a lecturer(讲师)    9    was giving his business free marketing advertising.

You never know how your    10    (kind)will be repaid to you and how many times it will be enlarged.

I met this elderly lady in town     1     I suppose may be someone's grandmother. The city has grown and everybody is so busy     2    (walk) and at times shoving(推挤) other people. I am not sure what made me look at her as she passed by slowly     3     her wooden walking stick. Maybe it's because I wondered if I would reach that age. What would I be doing then if I did?

Suddenly, her stick dropped. I was not so sure whether it     4    (knock) over by someone or it just dropped     5    (accidental). She tried reaching for it but I noticed that bending was becoming a challenge to her. I     6    (move) towards her, though I thought that someone would have already helped her by the time I reached her. But I was wrong. Nobody seemed     7    (notice) or cared much. I picked up her stick and positioned it in her hand. She gave me     8     wide, honest smile and thanked me. She raised her     9    (eye) and said something nice to me, still smiling. I felt     10    (please) and will remember that it is important to slow down and take notice of what is happening around us.

Even though this is not the greatest act of kindness, I still think that I was able to make someone’s day brighter. My family and I     1     (be) together enjoying Sunday afternoon. My father had just given me my allowance（零花钱）of 100 dollars,     2     I was planning to save in order to buy a phone case. That afternoon we went to church since we hadn’t gone for a long time. We entered and sat on one of the wooden     3     (bench). Time went by quickly, and soon we were leaving.

Outside the church, there was     4     old, poor woman asking for money. She seemed to be     5     (home). No one was giving her any money, and I felt the need     6     (help) her. I remembered that my dad once told me, “You shouldn’t give any money     7     people on the streets. If they want money so badly, they should get a job.” I thought to myself, “there’s no way this woman can get a job     8     (easy).” So I carefully approached the woman and gave her the 100 dollars I     9     (give) earlier. In the end, she looked at me and smiled while     10     (say) “thank you.” I really felt like I was able to improve that lady’s day.
