 Dear Helen Keller,  

 I'm glad to write to you again to tell you how your book has influenced me.  

 I read that you really brought your parents lots of 1  and they didn't know what to do! Then they found a great 2  for you—Ms. Sullivan. With great patience, she showed and taught you that there was a word to describe every object and idea. Because of Ms. Sullivan, you're now able to 3  and write by touch.  

 I also read that you love to ask questions. So now, I do the same thing as you do. It really helps me a lot to 4  . I am learning more now than I ever did before I lost my hearing. Maybe my mother is 5  when she says "every cloud has a silver lining." Even when something seems really bad, a 6  thing can come from it.  

I have a best friend Anna Bailey in my city. When I lost my hearing, I 7 I would lose this friend. I thought she might want to play only with people who could hear. But I was wrong. Anna stayed 8 with me. She even helped me. She told me I would get used to being deaf. "It might take some time," she said. "But you'll find your feet. " She made me feel 9 .

 When I first heard about you, I was really 10  and interested. Even though you are deaf and blind, you can do almost anything! You even went to college. You are like a hero to me. I hope that one day I can visit you.  

 Yours,  

 Amelia Grant 

 The saying means that "every sad or difficult situation has a positive side".  

 The expression "to find your feet" means "to become confident in a new situation".  

One morning when Liu Tao woke up, he jumped out of his bed happily. He had a1 idea. He would build a tree house! Liu Tao asked his dad, "Is it OK if I build a tree house in the old tree outside the 2?"

"It's not only OK," said Dad. "I'll even 3 you build it."

When they finished breakfast, both of them went out to the 4 in their garden and began to measure (测量). Then they got some boards and started to 5 them with a saw (锯子). When the pieces were ready, Liu Tao climbed up in the tree and Dad handed him the boards. They fixed the boards to some 6 branches.

Some birds were singing around them but they had no time to enjoy the 7 of the birds. Building a tree house was much work and lots of things were waiting for Liu Tao and his dad. They worked the whole 8. They even put a roof over the tree house so that it could keep9 in the rain. At last, they finished just before dark.

Early that night, Liu Tao asked his brother if he could borrow a sleeping bag.

"Sure," said the brother. "But 10 I go with you?"

"Of course, you can." Liu Tao smiled. Then they both ran upstairs to get ready.

Remy's mother got sick before he was born. She could not 1 Remy. So he needed a foster mother to take care of him. A foster mother is a mother who takes someone else's child into her 2 and cares for the child for a period of time just as what she would do to her own child.

    My father told me that there used to be a forest near our town. But the farmer who owned the forest1trees every year until one year, there were no trees left.

One day, our teacher took us out and we had a2in the field where the forest used to be. While eating and drinking, we3about the beautiful forest we once had. One of my classmates comes from a tribe (部落) that lived in the west of our country. He told us what he thought about the change. “It makes me really4to learn that a forest has disappeared. My people have taught me to5think seven generations (七代人) in the future. That's to say, when we do something to the land, we should never 6it. We must care about nature and leave it good enough for later generations.

    When we heard what he said, we kept7first. "Let's plant some trees!" said our teacher after a moment. "It will be a good8!" So that's what we did. For the rest of the spring, we worked hard and we planted thousands of trees.

    That was five years ago. Today, when I stand in that field which was once empty, I see9about as tall as I am. I's great to see how we've10the field. It taught us the power of thinking about the future.

    One day, on my way home from school, my bike was broken. Luckily I found a repairing stand(修车摊)across from the street. An old man was 2 a bike. He was wearing a clean suit. He looked energetic(精力充沛的). While waiting. I knew 3 about him from the old men chatting there. He was Lao Feng and 4to repair bikes after he repaired(退休). Two months ago, his family moved to a new house. His son didn't want him to repair bikes any longer. He bought him suits and asked him to 5 them and rest at home. But it didn't work. The old man continued his repairing work in his suits.

    After a while, the old man got my bike repaired. 6 I was leaving an old lady came and called him "Aiguo". 7 the name on the list of the village school came into my mind. But how could such a common repairman 8so much money? I asked him if he knew that village. He told me it was his hometown and the 9there still needed help. So he always saved money by repairing bikes to help them. Then I was sure that he was the person on the 10.
