“ Hi, Sam,” she said to me as I walked 41 the classroom.

“ Hi,” I said and quickly sat in my 42 . I looked at the clock. The time was near. Then Mrs. Owens started, “ Sam, it’s time for you to show yourself.” “Show 43 ? Oh, no!”

I got up slowly, 44 the ground as I walked to the front of the class. Then, I looked up, and everyone was looking at me. Mrs. Owens knew I was 45 , so she came beside me, and put her hand on my back.

She said to the class, “Sam has worked very hard on his 46 ,and I know it is a very interesting report.” Then she turned to me and asked, “Sam, 47 did you like best about your report on Hawaii?”

I thought about the fun things I 48 about surfing before, and I started to talk. I talked and talked 49 the whole class, and I was not nervous at all. It was great fun. It wasn’t frightening. The class cheered as I finished and Mrs. Owens was 50 .

Once upon a time, there lived a rich man. He had a servant (仆人). He and the servant loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that.

One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “Here are two bottles of poison (毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take good care of them.” With these words, he went out.

But the servant knew that the rich man had said was untrue. After the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. Because he drank too much, he was drunk and fell to the ground. When the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food and his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up. But the servant told his story very well. He said a cat had eaten up everything. He was afraid to be punished(惩罚), so he drank the poison to kill himself.
