Deep in the woods(树林)was a tall tree. One day, a boy named Noah followed his dog into the woods. They1 at the tree.

"How tall it is! I wish I could 2 this tree!" the boy said. To his 3 , he was in the tree at once!

"Hello!"the leaves(树叶)said."Glad to meet you! We are leaves of the Wishing Tree,and we can help make people's wishes 4 ."

"Great! I wish I had one million dollars! "said Noah. But nothing 5 .

"We can only give you good things that will make you a 6 person," said the leaves.

That sounded fun.Noah thought of a new wish. "Well, " he said, "I wish I were7 enough to fight a dragon! ""Your wish was granted(准予)!"said the leaves.8 , Noah was standing under the tree."Thanks," Noah said, feeling very brave. He then left the woods _    9 his dog happily.After a while, 10 hit him on the back of his head."Hey,you little fool(傻瓜)!"someone was shouting.Looking back, Noah found it was Mitch.He was11 small stones at Noah and his dog."Go away,  12 I'll call the police! "Noah shouted. Mitch ran away.13 , he didn't want the police to come.Noah had never14 Mitch to go away before. But that day, he did it! Noah thought his bravery came from the wishing tree leaves.But the 15 is, he did it all by himself. Bravery comes from inside.

It was a cold New Year's Eve.David saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of the supermarket with a sign that said "Please help".

David used to give people like him 20 dollars, but tonight was special,so he decided to put in some time.

David stopped and said,"Come on.Put your things away and let's get you something."

They walked into the supermarket while talking. David learned that the man had a place to live, but no money for food.

Anyway,David still wanted to help him. David let him pick whatever he needed. However,the man just took a bag of instant(速食的）noodles.David asked him to choose something else.The man then took the cheapest bottle of milk. Knowing that the man had two sons, David asked him, "What haven't your sons eaten for a long time? " The man said meat. So David picked out a steak for him. Later, David tried to buy him some vegetables and fruit, but the man refused."That's enough. Thank you, sir! I can work at your house to payback the money,"said the man sincerely(真诚地）.

Hearing this,David smiled and said,"You don't need to do this. I'm glad I can help you."

Accept help without being greedy(贪心的),and give help without expecting anything in return.The two made the night warm.

"For me, the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival is not as strong as before. When I was young, I looked forward to eating mooncakes and watching the moon with my family," said Ma Lin, a woman in her fifties."But now, the festival just seems like a common Saturday or Sunday. "

Yang Lin,a professor from Nankai University, says the way people celebrate the festival has changed over the years."In the past, it was terrible if you could not see your family during the Mid-Autumn Festival.Nowadays,people may just make phone calls to their families,but they still know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for families to get together.They can go home at any time if they want to,because transportation is more convenient."

We can find that businesses provide people with more ways of spending the festival. It means people have more choices(选择) on how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival. Take the mooncake for example, There are many kinds of mooncakes on sale during the festival, and we can choose among them for our families according to their taste.

Every one of us should play a part in protecting our traditional festivals, Like the Mid-Autumn Festival. We must value(重视) the stories behind them, because they are important parts of the festivals. Also, the government must call on people to value the festivals of our own more than those of foreign countries. 

How do you feel about exams? Do you always get anxious(焦虑的)about exams?Don't worry, you are not alone.Most of them will face some anxiety before the big day.

Here is some good advice from people who have been through the same experience as you.

Eating the right food can feed your brain and keep you quick-minded. Breakfast is often considered as the most important meal of the day.Food like oats(燕麦)and eggs is thought to help improve memory.

Having a good night's sleep is very necessary.It can help you work and think better the next day.That means you can memorize what you have reviewed better. And remember not to watch TV or chat online before bedtime.

Writing down your anxieties is also a good way to reduce(减少)stress.

But if you still feel worried after trying all this,turn to your parents. They always care about youSo you can talk with them and maybe they can help you relax.

How can you think in English? I think the best way is to do as a football player (practice) every day. During the practice, the football player will pass the ball to other players in his team over and over again, so he will just pass the ball in the game without thinking.

You can train yourself to think in English by(do) like this. This first step is to think of the words you use every day, like "book", "shoe" and "tree".example. Whenever you see a "book", you should think of it in English instead in your mother language. This can also help you create a(n)(interesting) in English.

After you've learnt to think of several words in English, move on to the next step-thinking in sentences. Listening and repeating is a very (use) way to learn a language. Listen first and don't care too much about whether you (complete)understand what you're hearing. Try your best (repeat) what you hear. The more you listen, the (well) you'll learn. After you reach a higher level(水平),start having conversations in English. If you are afraid to speak to others, talk with(you) first. This will lead you to think in English.

Mental health is very important. We should it. 

Scientists haven't why such things happen from time to time.

I think it's fun for children cartoon characters.

 can help you develop a sense of language.
