March 5 is “Lei Feng Day”. It started fifty years ago. Now half a ____51_____has passed. Is the spirit （精神）of Lei Feng outdated(过时的)？

Some people have shown us that it’s not. But people have also changed the ways in which they help others.

Zhao has been a volunteer for 18 years. She still remembers her ____52_____ at a nursing home several years ago. An old man held her hand and said: “You don’t need to do anything for us. Seeing young people here is all we need.”

Those words made Zhao think: in what ____53_____ can we better help people? “Every person does what they can, no matter how small it is, to give out positive energy(正能量). And before we lend a helping hand, we should ____54_____ what they want,” Zhao said to the Qilu Evening News.

As well as Zhao, other people have shown their understanding of the spirit of Lei Feng.

This past January, beginning with an online post, “noodle fever” swept Zhengzhou, Henan. One ____55_____ man, Li Gang, 42, said in his post that he had a ____56_____ illness and needed a lot of money for an operation to fight it. However, what he asked for wasn’t charity, but for more people to come to eat noodles at his restaurant.

Li’s post spread ____57_____. Soon his restaurant was filled with customers every day and Li was able to ____58_____ to have his operation on Feb. 2.

In this way, people could help Li without hurting his dignity(自尊).

Dear Wang Lin,

     I think it' s not strange for parents to want to keep their children away from anything bad. Foreign parents will do the same as your parents! They may not let their children watch TV for too long a time. they also don' t want their children to play computer games.

     Talk to your parents and be honest to them, I think. Tell them what you are doing and why you are doing so to make them understand you. It' s never good to do things behind your parents' backs. They aren't fools as you think of them sometimes! Our parents seem to know what is the best for us. Remember: to be honest is the best way.

阅读Fishing Can Be Dangerous

　　Old Peter liked fishing．Whenever he had any free time he drove into the countryside, found a good place to fish, and spent a few hours fishing．The problem was that most of the best places to fish were on private land, and Peter often had to pull his rod out of the water quickly and run off with it when the owner of the land came along．

　　One day he was sitting by a river that ran through a rich man's property when he fell asleep．

　　He was awakened by a voice saying, “You'll never catch anything using that bait．”

　　Peter looked up and saw a man standing behind him．

　　“What do you mean?”Peter said．“There's nothing wrong with this bait．I always use it．I've caught thirty fish with it today already．”

　　“How interesting!” the man said．“Do you know who I am?”

　　Peter shook his head．

　　“I'm the owner of this land．”

　　Peter thought very quickly．

　　“Do you know who I am?” he asked．

　　The man shook his head．

　　“I'm the biggest liar in the country,” Peter told him．

　　And with these words he pulled his line out of the water and ran off as fast as he could．
