Long time ago, there lived a king. He was irresponsible（不负责任的）. He ________ cared about his country and people. All his people complained（抱怨）about this.

One day, the king went hunting in the forest. After some time, he felt ________. He came to a lake. When he drank water from the lake, he saw a swan（天鹅） ________ on a big stone nearby. “I want to catch the swan!” he thought.

As soon as he held up his bow（弓）, the swan was gone. ________ his surprise, he heard a sweet voice, “I am the swan. ________ you want to catch me, you must come to the wonderland（奇境）.”

The king said, “Please ________ me the way to the wonderland!”

“Do good things for your people, and my messenger（信使）will come and lead you there,” the ________ replied.

With this in mind, the king dressed up and went out into the streets. He gave some ________ to a poor old man. After the old man ________ it happily, he began to chat with the king. When they talked about peoples life in the country, the old man became ________ and said, “Do you know why I’m so poor? It’s because of our king! He has done ________ for us.”

________, the king heard the swan’s voice again. “Listen! It seems that you are doing something ________ only because you want to go to the wonderland. That’s not enough. You should always ________ all your people and be kind to them.” the swan said.

The king realized this was ________. He became responsible and worked very hard. Finally, he understood that making his country a great place was like making a wonderland of his own.

Sally didn’t know what was wrong with her grandma. She was always forgetting things, like where she put the sugar and what time to have dinner.

“She might have Alzheimer’s disease（阿尔茨海默症）,” her mother said. “We might have to put her in a nursing home（养老院）so that she can get proper care.

“Oh, that’s terrible! She’ll miss her own house!” Sally said.

“Maybe, but we can see her on weekends,” her mother answered. “We can bring her presents.”

“Like ice cream? Grandma loves strawberry ice cream!” Sally said.

The first time they visited Grandma, Sally wanted to cry. Grandma sat all by herself in the corner of the room.

Sally hugged Grandma.“Look,” she said, “we brought you strawberry ice cream!”

Grandma took it and began to eat without saying a word.

“She doesn’t seem to know us.” Sally was upset. “You have to give her time.” her mother said. But the next time it was the same. Grandma ate the ice cream, but didn’t say anything.

“Grandma, do you know who I am?” Sally asked.

“You’re the girl who brings me the ice cream.” Grandma said.

“Yes, but I’m Sally, your granddaughter. Don’t you remember me?”

“Sure. You’re the girl who brings me ice cream.” All of a sudden, Sally realized that Grandma would never remember her.

“Oh, how I love you, Grandma!” she said. Just then she saw a tear roll down Grandma’s cheek（脸颊）, “Love,” she said. “I remember love.”

“You see, dear, that’s all she wants,” her mother said. “Love.”

“I’ll bring her ice cream every weekend then, and hug her even if she doesn’t remember me.” Sally said.

After all, remembering love is more important than just being able to remember a name.

Yuan Longping was a great scientist who was the first person to develop hybrid rice（杂交水稻）. His research greatly solved the problem of the food shortage in the world.

Yuan Longping started the research in 1964. He put forward the idea of hybrid rice, did experiments（实验）on the farm, and succeeded in 1973. The new technology was tested in many areas of South China in 1974, and then he continued to test it in other areas. China has become the first country that can produce hybrid rice. Yuan made it possible to                    grow hybrid rice in large amounts, and he was called “Father of Hybrid Rice”.

Besides being a respected（受人尊重的）scientist, he was also a romantic husband and a caring grandfather.

Yuan’s granddaughters remembered that when he traveled to Hong Kong, he wanted to buy his wife a new watch, but it was too expensive, so he bought a candy instead. When he was 90 years old, his family held a birthday party. Hundreds of people came to the party. There was a moving moment: Yuan cut the first piece of cake and immediately gave it to his wife. They also said that their grandfather paid much attention to their English and math studies. No matter how tired he was after work, he would still ask about their studies.

Yuan Longping loved playing the violin, swimming and driving. What’s more, he had a special habit-playing Mahjong（麻将）with friends for an hour every evening to train his brain. Just like common people, the scientist laughed when he won and didn’t hide his disappointment when he lost. When his requirement（请求）to build a research center was agreed to, he was very excited.

This is Yuan Longping: an ordinary（普通的）person who made great achievements.

It is said that the eyes are the windows to our soul（灵魂）.
40． Your eyes need everyday attention.

First, you have to pay more attention to your diet.
41． It’s good for your eyes. Also, a regular amount of vitamins（维生素）A and B2 should also be taken.

Second, you must have regular and sound sleep. This relaxes the eye muscles and gives them the rest they need. Sleep can help the body repair its tired tissue（组织）.
42． Less sleep can give you dark circles under your eyes and you may feel sleepy during the daytime.

43． Blink（眨眼）your eyes at regular periods to keep your eyes moist. Besides, be sure to do some eye exercises to relax your eyes after you study for a long period of time.

Last, you should treat your eyes correctly. For example, if you get something in your eye, don’t start rubbing（揉）it. Rubbing is harmful to your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright light because it can cause eye tiredness.
44． Too much reading, writing, watching TV or working on a computer can also cause eye tiredness, so rest is required.

China has also taken steps to protect the students’ eyesight, such as larger printing in students’ textbooks, at least two hours’ outdoor activities a day, regular eyesight checking, less time on e-books and so on.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Lazy. He wanted to have a big house and it took him over a year to build one. The house was so beautiful that all of his
45．（neighbor）admired him very much.

But as time went by, his house started to have some problems. One day,
46． old neighbor went past it and said, “Your house is beautiful, but the grass in the yard is a bit overgrown.” Lazy answered
47．（quick）, “I know, but it’s OK. I
48．（cut）it tomorrow.”

A few days later, a mailman came by with a letter for Lazy. The mailman said, “Sir, your house is wonderful, but the windows are a bit dirty. You can make it more wonderful by
49．（clean） them.” Lazy replied reluctantly （不情愿地）, “I know, but it’s OK. I will do that tomorrow.”

Weeks passed by. Lazy’s yard was in a mess. The paint was falling down and the windows were covered with dirt. One day, his brother came over
50．（visit）him. He was
51．（surprise）at what he saw and scolded him angrily, “Lazy, I know why you’re called Lazy. You’re just
52． your name! What have you done for your house? It could fall apart at any second!”

Just the next day, after a heavy rainstorm, Lazy’s house fell down!

There are many Lazys around
53．（we）. Are you lazy, too? Have you ever put off “something” to “tomorrow”, “next month”
54． even “next year”? It’s much better to just deal with things today than to wait until some imaginary（想象的）“tomorrow” that might not actually come.

曾经，你们带着求知而来；如今，你们带着收获离开。现在的你即将迈进理想的学校，开始新的生活。初中三年，或兴奋、或失落，一切过往，皆为序章。青春年华，以梦为马。毕业之际，你校将举办一场英语演讲比赛。请你根据以下要点，以“Sharing”为主题，写一篇演讲稿。
