   Che Yin’s story began on a hot summer night. He saw fireflies(萤火虫)flying and an idea came into his mind. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung it up as a lamp. He spent all of his summer nights  12  like this.

   The other story happened in winter. Sun Kang woke up  13  a cold night. He saw the moon shine so  14  on the snow and it made the night brighter. “ I can read with the light!” he thought. So he took his books outside and read, even though it was very cold.

  The living condition is  15  better now, but the stories still encourages us to study hard. Difficulties cannot stop young minds from learning. If there is a will, there is always light on the road to knowledge.

I usually took a bus to school. I found that most passengers were silent and  16  had a conversation with anyone else.

   About a year  17  , an old man got on the bus and said loudly to the driver, “Good morning!” Most people looked up , and the bus driver didn’t  18  it seriously and just replied in a cold voice, “Mm-hmm” The next day the man got on and again he said in a loud  19  , “Good morning!” to the driver. Another ”Mm-hmm”. By the fifth day, the  20  finally answered him with a little happy “Good morning!” Then the man said, “My name is Benny.” The driver told the man that he was Sam.

   That was the  21  time any of us had heard the driver’s name and soon people began to talk to each other and say hello to Sam and Benny. Soon Benny spread his  22  ”Good morning!” to the whole bus. Within a few days, his “ Good morning!” was returned by a lot of “Good mornings” and the whole bus seemed to be  23  . People got to know each other.

   Benny truly showed friendship among us with a simple” Good morning!”, I thought.

   Then suddenly, Benny stopped  24  . Everyone began to ask about Benny, wondering  25   happened to him. No one knew what to do and the bus got  26  again. So, I started to act like Benny and say” Good morning! “ to everyone and the whole bus  27  up again. Hopefully, Benny could come back to see his “Good morning!” mattered a lot.

   Sometimes we see some strangers  28  many times that we know their faces well, but we never even say hello to them.  29  saying hello, friendship starts to  30  , and sunshine comes to the world around us, and love spreads over the community we are in. Why not start a “hello” today?

Yuan Longping, a great scientist, is the first person to develop a kind of hybrid rice(杂交水稻), which helps fight hunger in China.

Food was a big problem in China in the past. This was because China had 22 percent of the world's population, but only 7 percent of its farmland. In the 1960s，China suffered serious hunger. Millions of people died because they only had no food. As an agronomy（农学）teacher, Yuan was very sad to see this." How can I help them have enough food?" he thought. He decided to work on a kind of hybrid（杂交）rice. It has a high output (产量).

 I had learned English for 11 years, but I knew few English idioms(习语). When I went to study in America last year, I had trouble communicating with Americans at times.

     One day, I asked my roommate Kevin, “ Will we play soccer tomorrow?” He answered, “ Let’s play it by ear.” I was so puzzled. “ Ear can play soccer?” I asked. He explained, “It means let’s see how things go. The weather report says tomorrow is rainy.”

    Last October, I was waiting for the bus in a station. Beside me sat a young man. When he knew I was Chinese, he asked me something about the Great Wall. I told him, “ The Great Wall is more than 20,000 kilometers long.” The man said, “ You don’t say.” I was surprised. “ There must be something wrong with him,” I thought. Later, I knew he meant” Really?”

    I was once invited to my classmate’s home. His mother said to me,” Break your ice, please.” I wondered, “ You didn’t give me any ice.” Later my classmate told me she meant I could make myself relaxed in their home.
