Although it rained heavily, Mr. Green    in the garden.

    ，  an old man    the mountains near his house.

He has  charity for 5 years.

It's    hot today.

Once upon a time, there was a king. He was famous for his kindness. His people 1 him and were proud of him. Once, the king decided to build a palace on the river bank. In a few days the palace was ready. And the minister (大臣) decided to take a final look 2 he brought the king to show the palace.

"Great! " the minister said, looking at the palace. Then 3 his eyes fell on a small old house near the palace gate. "What's this house doing here?" shouted the minister. "Sir, it 4 to an old woman，" replied a soldier.

The minister walked up to the 5 and spoke to the old lady. "I want to buy your house，" he said. "I am sorry, Sir. My house is more expensive to me than my life，" the old lady said.

The minister tried to tell the old lady that 6 house would spoil (破坏) the beauty of the new palace. But the old lady refused 7 her house to the king. The 8 was then taken to the king.

The king thought 9 a while, and then said, "Let the old lady have her house. It will only add to the beauty of the new palace. Let us not forget something that seems 10 to us may be valuable(宝贵的) to someone else. "

If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Little Prince. It's a famous novel written by a French writer. As one of the best­selling books in history, it has been sold as many as 200 million copies in 253 languages and dialects(方言). Now, around seventy years after the birth of the book, an American director(导演) has found a way to make it into a 3D animated film(动画片)．

The book tells the story of a pilot, called The Aviator, who crashes(撞击) into the desert and meets a young prince there. However, in the film, the story starts years after the crash when The Aviator is much older. He has got a new neighbor called The Little Girl, whose mother wants her to get ready to enter the grown­up world. Slowly The Aviator shares his story with The Little Girl by writing it down and sending her a page at a time. The pages are complete with the pictures in the book, speaking about his time in the desert and taking The Little Girl to an amazing(令人惊奇的) world where anything is possible.

China is the first country in the world to see the film in two versions—in Chinese and English. The film shows The Little Girl's life and tells The Little Prince's story at the same time in a beautiful way.

Huang Lei, who voices the film together with his 9­year­old daughter, says the film is like a childhood dream, and the dream is lost by most adults in this stressed­out society.

"The most touching part is that every one of us was agood­natured kid like the Little Prince, and it's a pity that this good characteristic(品质) goes away as time flies，" he says.

Long long ago, there were ten  (sun) in the sky. Each day, one of them set out on his journey across the sky, but one day all ten suns set out together.  a result, the world was so hot  many plants, animals and people died. Finally, the god  (send) Hou Yi to save the world.

Hou Yi kept his eyes closed  some seconds because of the strong sunlight. Then he placed an arrow(箭) against the bowstring(弓弦) and drew it to the full. Then he let go  (he) arrow. One of the ten suns was killed and fell down. 

Still the earth was burning. Nine suns remained(遗留). Hou Yi went on  (shoot) the suns. When the  (nine) sun fell from the sky, Hou Yi was told that the world needed one sun  (give) its warmth and light.  Hou Yi left only one sun in the sky. Since then, the only sun rises in the morning on his journey across the sky every day.
