1、A Boy and His Tree
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.
“I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.”“Sorry, but I don’t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.”The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn’t come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me.” The tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?”“Sorry, but I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So
the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said.
“I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?”“Use my trunk to build the boat. You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you.” the tree said. “ I don’t have teeth to bite.” The boy replied. “ No more trunk for you to climb on.”“I am too old for that now.” the boy said. “I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.” The tree said with tears. “I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young,
we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that's how all of us are treating our parents.
2、 The Color of Love
Although people of different ethnicities have been mixing for centuries, the subject of interracial relationships is still controversial. Even now, mixed couples face many obstacles, including laws restricting interracial marriage.
It was only in 1967 that the United States finally struck down its anti miscegenation laws. Opposition to interracial relationships exists for different reasons, but what it usually boils down to is racism.
As the world is becoming smaller, the number of interracial couples is growing, especially in countries with large numbers of immigrants. For interracial couples, love knows no color. Cultural differences are just another area of the relationship to work through.
But as interracial dating becomes more common, it does not treat all ethnic groups equally. In the United States, the vast majority of white/black couples involve a black man and a white woman. Conversely, the same number of Asian/white couples consists of an Asian woman with a white man. The proposed reason for this is that traditionally, women prefer men who are
stronger and seem more masculine than they are. For men, the opposite is true.
Consequently, this leaves some groups out in the cold. But in the future, a greater mixing of ethnicities and erosion4 of gender stereotypes may balance out these dating patterns as people gain a more genuine appreciation of one another's differences.
3、Four seasons
There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season has three months.
Spring is the first season of the year. In this part of the world, the spring months are March, April and May. In spring, the weather gets warmer and the fields turn green. This is a busy time for the peasants.

Winter is the last season of the year. December, January and Febmary are the winter months, it is cold in winter. The days are short and the nights are long. In many places it snows. On New Year's Day, we wish each other a happy New Year.

Gotta let the feelings show.
Imagination is the key,
'Cause you are your own destiny.
You never should be lonely,
When time is on your side.
Don't you know it's true what they say,
Things are sent to try you.
But your time's coming around,

Things happen for a reason.

So don't you stop trying.

9、Farmer and snake
One day, it was snowing heavily. It was white everywhere. A farmer had cut some wood and was returning home when he saw a rattlesnake on the road, numb with cold.
“Oh, little snake. Why aren’t you at home in such cold weather ? Look, you’re freezing. Poor you! ’’
The farmer thought some more to himself: “What can I do for you? Make a fire to warm you? No, it’s snowing so hard, and I have only a small bundle of wood. Besides, my family is waiting for the wood to cook.”
The farmer turned round and round anxiously and then d: “I know! I’ll put you under my clothes, it’s warm there.” He uncut —toned his clothes and put the snake inside, against his chest.
Some time later, the snake came to life gradually. The warmth of the old farmer had not changed its cruel nature. It opened its mouth and bit right in to the farmer’s chest.
“Oh, my god! How cruel you are! I saved you, but you bit me. Why?” As he was saying this, he took out the snake and threw it on the ground. But the farmer was already poisoned and was dying. Only at this time did
he realize that he had done something“I took pity on him, but he bit me in return.”
10、My dream
When I was a naughty boy, may be because of the influence of the film."Xiao Bing Zhang Ga",my dream was to be a soldier just like Zhang Ga. I thought if I was a soldier, I should be able to swim, dive and climb trees as he did. It seemed to be very wonderful. So I began to learn swimming, diving and climbing trees. I practiced every day and finally I could do them well. But when I entered junior high school and had the military training. I suddenly found that being a soldier was very difficult and I wasn’t strong enough to bear it . I had to give my dream up.
But I wasn’t discouraged, and I had new aim, which was to be a postman, or rather to be a newspaper boy. As a newspaper boy. I could speed along streets on a bike and throw newspapers onto every porch. That’s also very cool. So I started learning to ride a bicycle. After the everyday practice, I could go very fast by bicycle. But to my disappointment, the job which I wanted only existed in western counties not in China, because there was no porch in China. And Chinese postmen had to stuff very thick newspapers into very small mailboxes from very narrow entrances. The job was far from what I had expected. So once again my dream fell through.
Perhaps you have had the same experience as I and most of your dreams haven’t come true yet. But I think it doesn’t matter, because if you have
a dream, you’ll make many efforts to realize it. This course is really important. If I hadn’t dreamt of being a soldier or a newspaper boy. I wouldn’t have learned to swim, to dive, to clim
b trees or to ride a bicycle. Even if our dream can’t come true, you’ll learn much from the efforts you have made. So what I want to tell us is that dream helps us to grow up and teaches us how to control our lives . It is dream that gives us power and makes our lives colorful.。
