A long time ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to come and played around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap（小睡）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 every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree, and he looked sad. “I want toys. I need money to buy them,” he said. “You can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money,” The tree said. The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.
One day, the boy returned, and the tree was so excited. “I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter(居所). Can you help me? ” “You can chop off my branches（树枝) to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
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 trunks（树干）to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy. ” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore.” 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! An old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, come, sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

A boy went to a shop with his mother. The shopkeeper handed the boy a jar(罐) of candy and asked him to take some. But the boy looked at the candy and shook his head.
The shopkeeper was surprised. What kind of child doesn’t like candy? Again, he tried to give the candy to the boy. The boy's mother saw that and said. “It’s okay, dear. You can take the candy.”
But the boy still wouldn’t take any. The shopkeeper reached into the jar himself, took out two big handfuls of candy and gave them to the boy.
As the boy and his mother went on their way home, his mother asked, “Why didn’t you take the candy when the shopkeeper handed you his jar?”
The boy answered, “Because my hands are too small. If the shopkeeper takes out the candy himself, I can get more candy!”
When we take for ourselves, we might not get as much as we would like. But when others give, their generosity(慷慨) might be greater than we expect.

Dear Mom and Dad,
Please don’t feel surprised that I am writing to you. Last week you argued with each other about my math test. I didn’t get a good grade again. You two didn’t talk to each other. I know you both are worrying about my studies. But don’t you know? I want a warm family. So please get on well with each other. Dad, you are a man. Mom works in an office. She has a lot of things to do in the office. After work she has to do the housework. I think you shouldn’t be angry with her. Mom, you should understand Dad. He is a reporter. He has to talk with lots of people. Sometimes he has to work late into the night. He works very hard for our family. He is too tired. As for my studies, please don’t worry. I’ll work harder. I am sure I will pass the next math test!
Yours,
Chen Lee
C) Health is very important. But dear friends, do you really know how to keep healthy? Here are some of my ideas. First, we must go to bed early and get up early, because it’s good for our health. We should have enough sleep, or we may get sick. Second, we should eat plenty of healthy food like vegetables and fruit. We shouldn’t eat too much meat or junk food. Third, we should drink something healthier such as apple juice, milk and water. Finally, we should often do sports. We can go to play basketball and run with our friends. Doing sports can make us healthy and strong. These are my
ideas about how to be healthy. Do you agree with me?。
