When I tidied up（整理）some old boxes under my bed, I found an old letter for me from my best friend. Her name was Minnie.
In the letter, Minnie wrote, “I am really sorry about before. Tell me if you will be my best friend again and tell me if you accept（接受）my apology . ”I wrote, “YES. I will be your best friend. ”
The twelve-year-old letter made me remember the time that Minnie and I spent together. We often wrote to each other during that time. One minute, Minnie and I would be playing happily together; the other moment we would get into arguments. But things would always be better again. She gave me a doll（洋娃娃）for my tenth birthday. I still keep it.
Finally things changed. We stopped writing letters to each other after she moved away, and I could no longer ride my bike to her house. Years later, she invited me to her sixteenth birthday party. I don’t see Minnie very often from then on. But I’ll always keep the letter and I’ll never forget the time we spent together.
【小题1】Minnie wrote the letter to       .

"Who did this?" Mrs. Green asked with a piece of broken glass in her hand. She had never been so   51  with us. The classroom was so quiet. All students looked at the window except me. I kept my head   52  . I knew it was me. I broke it when I practiced   53  baseball. But should I tell the truth? If I did, I would be in trouble, I didn't have enough   54 . How could I afford to buy such an expensive window? I really didn't want to put up my hand,   55  at last I said. “I did it. I am sorry.” It was not   56  for me to say those words.

Mrs. Green went to the book shelf and took down a book. Then she walked to me. Looking at  57 , I was a little afraid. To my surprise, she said, "I know you like  58   .Here is the book about them. It's yours now. I give it to you not because you broke the window, but because you are  59  ." I couldn't believe it. I wasn't punished(惩罚). However, I was given my favorite book about birds.

It happened 20 years ago, but I still   60  the book. The lesson my teacher taught me that day will be in my heart forever.

Once a man came to a smart man’s house and said, “I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up        ?” The wise man said, “Never tell lies (谎言) and always speak the truth.” The man promised (承诺) to do        and went home.
At night the man was about to go out to steal (偷). Before leaving, he        for a moment about the promise he made to the wise man. “If he asks me where I have been, what shall I say? Shall I say I        stealing? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will start        me and call me a thief. I would be punished for stealing.” So the man made a decision not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit.
Next day, he wanted to drink wine. When he was about to do so, he said to himself, “What shall I say to the wise man if he asks me        I did during the day? I cannot tell a lie.” And so he gave up the        of drinking wine.
      , whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all times. One by one, he gave up all his bad habits and became a very        person.
Telling the truth is a very good habit. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of        and become a person whom everyone likes and favors.
Make a promise: I shall always speak the truth.
