I was bored. I sat on the sofa eating popcorn and looking for something 1 on TV. I stopped to watch

a show: a boy about my age was hypnotizing（催眠）a man and having him do all the funny things. 2 , I

came up with a plan. “I bet I could do that,” I thought.

I jumped up and raced to the dining room to get some string and a spoon. I tied the string to the spoon. OK! I

was 3 . I couldn’t wait.

I walked into the 4 , where my mom was preparing dinner. I asked Mom if she wanted to be

hypnotized. Of course, my mom 5 .

As I started to swing the 6 slowly in front of my mom’s face, I said, “You are getting sleepy, you are

getting very sleepy.”

After 7 it a few times, I told her that when I counted to three, she would become Elvis, a pop singer.

I counted, and at that very moment, Mom started to 8 . I could hardly believe that I was able to hypnotize

Mom on my 9 try. I was excited. This was soooo cool! After a while, I decided that it was time to

10 Mom. I could hardly wait to see Mom’s reaction（反应）when I told her 11 we did it!

“When I clap my hands three times, you’ll be back to your usual self,” I said confidently. I clapped loudly as

I counted the numbers, 12 Mom continued singing as if nothing had happened. What was wrong? I

started to feel 13 . I didn’t know what to do. It looked so easy on TV. I started to 14 . Just then,

my mom realized I didn’t know 15 had only been pretendingto be hypnotized. She stopped and

I sat on the steps next to Peter and watched him play his new guitar. His left hand worked the strings(弦)

76 his right hand played.

“Just in time for the school talent show next 77 ,” I said.

“Are you doing anything for the talent show, Jeremy?” Peter asked.

“No,” I said. “If I were a little 78 , like you, 14 years old, maybe I could, too. I believe you’ll win the

first prize this year.”

“Maybe, “said Peter,” I’m playing a song I 79 myself.”

“You write your own song?”

that’s the way to have some fun. ‘I haven’t written all the words yet.’’

“I got 84 when playing baseball yesterday,” he said. “Now I can’t be in the talent show next week.”

Peter and I 85 each other worriedly. Then I had an idea.

“We could sit next to each other on the stage,” I said. “You could play the left-hand parts, and I’ll play with

my right hand.”

Peter’s eyes were 86 and lively.

“It might work,” he said.

I sat 87 him on the top step.

“Where can I put my right hand while we 88 ?”

“Put it on my shoulder,” I told him. “We’ re 89 , aren’t we?”

which we needed most. We 141 the following few days in a community centre but still didn’t know what

was waiting for us.

One of my best friends, Elsa, hurried there with a large sized 142 in her hand. In it, there was some

fruit, biscuits, two coats and so on. I found neither of the coats was 143 for me. But I really didn’t mind

because her care was far more than that. It was more touching that I 144 got some books to read from her

bag.

As days went by, we 145 to my uncle’s old flat which stayed empty for a couple of years. It was much

146 , but after all it was a place called home. 147 we moved in, life was better. However, our relatives,

Thanks to 148 help, we finally lived through the pain. And for the first time I realized that 149

was enough when I had nothing else left in my life.

Looking back now, the 150 time turns out to be an unforgettable experience. No one can tell when the

Once upon a time, there was a little sparrow. This sparrow was always on the hunt for something to eat and

one day he happened upon a big bean. But before he could 151 it, he had to wash his hands. He hid the

bean on a bridge and flew down to the 152 below to clean up.

“I just can’t wait for my wonderful 153 ,” the sparrow said to himself. Then he 154 his way

back up to the bridge. “I won’t have to work for a week!” But when he got back to his 155 place, the

bean was gone!

As the sparrow flew around looking for his lost treasure, he saw a 156 coming over the bridge.

“ 157 , can you help me find my bean?” the sparrow asked. “Please, do I look like I have time to find a

tiny bean? Find it 158 ,” said the farmer as he walked away.

Next, the sparrow saw a soldier coming over the bridge. He asked the soldier the 159 question.

“Please, little bird, I have no time for you,” he said and walked on. Then a minister（大臣）came walking by,

but

160 the sparrow could even ask, he laughed and walked away. The little bird had 161 given

up hope, when the king came up the bridge, riding on an elephant. The sparrow repeated his question, but the king

didn’t 162 him. The sparrow sat on the bridge, hungry and sad.

An ant came by. After he heard the sparrow’s story, he went up to the elephant. “Tell the king to find that

poor bird’s 163 , or I will go inside your ear and bite you!” The elephant stopped, turned to the king and

said, “Go help that sparrow, or I will throw you off.” The king was 164 . He called the minister over and

the minister ordered the soldier. Then the soldier went over to the farmer, “Find that bird’s bean, or I’ll kick you

off this bridge!” The farmer 165 all day and as the sun was setting, he finally found the bean. The

sparrow was thankful, and he ate well for the next week.

“What’s wrong, Carina?” Collin asked. “Homesick again?”

His sister ___1___ .

“Yeah, me too.” Collin sighed (叹息).

Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago. The new place was housed inside a huge

transparent dome (透明的圆屋顶). It still didn’t feel like ___2___.

of rain on the roof (屋顶). ”

“ ___4___ of all,” Carina continued, “my birthday is in two days, and I don’t think Mom and Dad are

planning anything special. They’re too ___5___.”

“She’s probably right,” thought Collin. Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents. He doubted if

they had ___6___ to plan a party. And how could they anyway? Things such as balloons and birthday candles

didn’t exist here. They didn’t ___7___ have enough materials to make a cake.

“Don’t worry.” Collin put an arm around Carina’s shoulder.

Collin walked toward the agricultural center, ___8___ his mom worked. He found her taking notes on some

tall tube-like plants.

“What are those?” he asked.

“Bamboo plants,” said Mom. “They’re strong and grow fast. They ___9___ good building materials.”

“May I have a piece?”

“Sure.” Mom handed ____10____ to him and made a note on her notebook.

The next day, Collin ____11____ tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails (钉子) into each

hole. He poured a handful of pebbles (鹅卵石) inside and covered the open ends.

Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home. He ____12____ it behind his back and opened

the front door. To his ____13____, Mom and Dad were home early from work. Mom was carrying something that

looked like a ____14____.

He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon (肉桂皮) sugar. A real

treat, on the Moon.

Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod. “Happy birthday!”

“What is it?” Carina asked, looking at it ____15____.

“A rain stick,” said Collin. “Whenever you turn it over, the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like

rain.”

Carina turned the stick, and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof.

“It’s Moon Rain!” she said. “It makes me feel like I’m home.” She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick

One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little ___16___, so I stopped my

____17____ by a small park, and waited for her.

As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running ___18___ on the grass

as his mother ____19____ from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free

from some prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, ____20____ up, without looking back at his mother, run

as ____21____ as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

they have not connected “falling down” _____28_____ the word “failure”. As a result, they are not discouraged in

any way. Besides, they ____29____ think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to

do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make _____30_____, so they stay energetic.
