    A young man was walking in the desert. He felt very 1. Just then he suddenly found a spring of delicious and clear water. The water was cool and sweet for a man who had 2it for such a long time. He drank a lot, and then he 3 his bottle so that he could bring some back to his village and gave it to his teacher who had taught him in middle school.

    After a four-day 4, he gave the water to the old man and he took a deep drink, smiled warmly and 5his student for the sweet water. The young man returned to his home with a happy heart.

    Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out at once, saying it was6. The student said the water had become bad because the bottle was too old.

    The student asked his teacher, "Master, the water was bad and it was bitter. Why did you 7 to him that you liked it?" The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water 8 I tasted the gift. The water which has been put in loving and kindness is not 9water." Nothing could be 10 than love.

    There were two fishermen named Tom and Jack. They were close pals. One day they went out to catch fish together and have a fish meal in the field. They sat at a distance and started hunting for fish. Tom got a big and beautiful fish in a few minutes. He was so happy and placed the fish in the ice box. He decided to cook the fish in the noon. He spent some more time and caught a few more fish. He decided to make a grand meal with the fish. Also, he froze a few fish to take them back home.

    After an hour or so, Tom went to Jack to see if he needed any help. Jack said no. In a few minutes, Jack caught a large fish. However, he put it back into the lake. Tom was surprised at his act, but he remained silent. Jack caught more big fish, and put them all back into the lake. Very frustrated, Tom angrily asked him, "Are you mad? Why do you put your fish back into the water? They are beautiful and big!" Jack replied, I know they are big, but I don't have the big pan(锅) to cook the big fish! So I'm looking for a smaller fish that fits my cooking pan! God is troubling me today."

    On September 13th, I woke up in the best mood. It was a late start, so I got to sleep in. Not only did I get my full eight hours of sleep, but an additional two more hours as well. I got ready, danced in my room to my favorite music while I picked out my clothes, made my lunch, and was on my way to school. I arrived at 9: 50 a. m. Little did I know, in the next 20 minutes, my life would change forever. As I got out of my classroom, there he was, holding the gun.

    Although everything happened so fast, in a matter of about 4 minutes, I remember it clearly. I remember every face I saw, and I remember every sound I heard. I remember the fear and the panic of the unknown. And lastly, I remember running. Running for my life. I ran down the stairs, out of the school's front doors, and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. As I looked down I thought to myself, "How am I running so fast?"

    I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop. We passed our phones around to text our loved ones that we were safe and that there was a school shooter, shots were fired, and 4 students were injured thus far.

    The lockdown lasted about 30 minutes, even though it felt like forever. Our headmaster made his way to our room and explained that the shooter had been caught and we were all going to make our way to the football field.

    Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality(质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case.

    Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.

    "When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. "But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference."

    The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a home brand bias."

    More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3, 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.

    "Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and 'Made in China' is not bad at all," Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.

    The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.

    Few people today educate the children about the value of empathy(同情；同感).Most people feel so hard to their love and care towards others and to actually understand what they are going through.

    When I was a child, I was to go out of my way to make someone else happy. My mum would tell me to say at least one kind word to someone else every day. I admit that it wasn't very easy to do. But as soon as you see the look of thanks in that person's , you just want to do as much as you can.

    I had an experience with a young man people were always making fun of. Every time I saw that happening, I knew in my heart that it was wrong. I decided I would try to be his friend. I started walking with him and introducing him to people around . I was making him happy by just doing that. And I loved the fact that I was really making a in his life.

    After a while, I realized that he wasn't the kind of person everyday thought he was. We are still really good friends today. People have almost stopped making fun of him. But he is still what he was. What had changed was the attitudes of others towards him.

    From this experience I that I should be more loving towards other people already. What I did for my friend was so easy, and at the same time I had a lot of fun, I hope that everyone could say a kind word to someone else at least once a day. I can promise it will be the best feeling you can ever get.

    One kind word could make someone's day . Why not do it from now on?

    I'm John. I'm at Grade Eight, Rocky Mountain High School. Every Monday, I go to the Buddy Club. In a club, older students help new students learn more about the school.

    My friend Sam is in the nine grade. He often listens careful to my problems. He always offers I some help. He's a hero in my heart.

    We have different class every day. On Friday afternoon, our school ends early than usual. My friends and I often go to the Science Club together two times a week, we write robot programmes after school.

    We love making things because we practice hard each time. Our team win two competitions last term. We were very happy.

    Flowers have habits or ways of doing things, just as people have. Would you like to hear about some of these?

    There is one habit that almost all flowers have. They turn to the light. If plants are kept in a room, the flowers turn to the window. Some flowers shut up at night. It seems that they go to sleep. They open again in the morning. Tulips（郁金香）do this.

    One morning Lingling was looking at some tulips. When one of them opened, a bee flew out. He stayed too late last night, and so was shut up in the flower. He might be hard at work all day getting honey. He stopped to rest in the tulip, and was shut in when it closed. He had a fine bed that night. Lingling wondered if he slept any better than he would have slept in the hive（蜂巢）!
