Dear Yang Min,

　　Here we are in Brazil. We are nearly (26) the end of our holiday now. It (27) fantastic, but we don't want to ever see a plane again-we (28) to a different place nearly every day. South America is a beautiful continent. We have seen the deserts and mountains in Chile, the Amazon rainforest. Now we are in Sao Paulo, (29) is a huge, and big crowded city in Brazil. Some people who live in the cities are very rich but some people have no home and no jobs-it's very sad. Your granddad likes it here (30) everyone talks about soccer. The Brazilians, (31) soccer team is one of the best in the world, all love soccer. We went to watch a match in a famous football stadium. Your granddad loved it. I preferred (32) all the countryside, which is so beautiful here and the animals. We've seen so many beautiful animals like (33) .

　　We will be home (34) 5 days to have a rest. Hope you (35) your English test. Give our love to Mum and Dad.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.

There was a farmer who 　1 corn（玉米）all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the 　2 and won the first prize.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer 　3 his seed（做种子的) corn to his neighbors.

"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the 　4 with you each year."

"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The 　5 picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow 　6 corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "

The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn improves.

As a great man says, "We make a living by what we grow; we make a life by what we give." We can't 　7 without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, 　8 by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us 　 9　 from other animals.

So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find 　10 in their life.

Two tramps(流浪者)were 1 along a quiet road. A sorry-looking dog was following them.

“We have had a bad day, Joe.” the first tramp said. “We haven’t any money and we can’t get

 2 to eat. ” “We will find something,” the second tramp answered cheerfully. Suddenly the tramps saw a car in the distance. It was coming 3 them very quickly. Both tramps moved to one side, but the dog stayed 4 the middle of the road. The driver tried to 5 the car, but it was 6 late, the car hit the dog and killed it. The driver got out of the car and went towards the first tramp.

“Poor little dog,” the tramp said. “I’m very sorry.” the driver said. “I tried to avoid(躲避)your dog but I couldn’t.” He took 7 his wallet and gave five pounds to the tramp. “Will that 8 all right?” the driver asked. “Yes, sir, thank you,” the tramp said. The driver got into his car and drove away.
