The son became angry, too. He walked out of his house and saw a dog passing by. He picked up a stone and threw8at the dog angrily. The dog ran away, barking in pain.

Sometimes, when we are angry about something, we might take out our anger9others. We should learn10our anger.

Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble? One day, two1were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very2. They went up to her and said," Are you going to town? If you are, we will help carry the basket. "

"Thank you,"3the woman, "you are very kind. You see I'm weak and ill." Then she told them that she was now going to the market to4the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.

"We are all going to the5," said the boys. "Let us have the basket." And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked6with the heavy basket, but happily. The other day, I saw a little girl stop and7a piece of orange peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶).

"I wish8would throw that on the sidewalk." she said. "Someone may step on it and fall." Perhaps some may say that these are not9things. That is right. But such a little thing shows that you have a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart. We must not wait for the10to do great things. We should begin with little things of love.

The four great inventions (发明): paper-making, printing, gunpowder and compass were great in old China. And now China is changing the world with its "new four great inventions": high-speed railways, e-payment, shared bikes and online shopping.

It was nearly dark. The sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.

"What's the matter, Tom? How is your trip?" his mother asked with a big smile. "I failed. The mountain was so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still went ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back," Tom cried. "It doesn't matter. You are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance," his mother said. "But, standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!" Tom said. His father came over and asked, "Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?" "Sure, and there were a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road," Tom replied. "Did you hear the birds singing?" his father asked. "There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet." Tom said. "Did you feel the beauty of nature?" his father asked. "Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture," Tom answered. "That's enough!" his father smiled and said, "Please remember, my son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn't reach the top of the mountain, you have got a lot on the way. "

It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery is on the way.
