When I was a little girl, mum and dad told me that if you plant something in spring, you’ll get more in autumn. I    1   this without doubt.
At the age of six, while I was eating a big apple, I dropped a tooth.
I was so    2   that I cried all of a sudden and rushed to my grandma’s room. She held the tooth and smiled, “Don’t worry, dear. It’s a baby tooth. You will have a new tooth in a few    3  .”
“A new tooth?” I fell very surprised.
“Yes, you will have that tooth    4   you get old, so you must protect your new tooth well. When you grow old, the teeth will fall out again,   5   this time, it won’t grow again. So it’s not easy for old people to eat anything,” grandma said.
I went out of grandma’s room and thought, “   6   should I put the dropped tooth?”
Suddenly, a wonderful thought came into my mind: Why not plant it in the ground? If I took good care of it, day after day, maybe it would become a big tree. When    7   came, there would be many white and strong    8   on the tree. I could pick them and send them to the    9   people who needed them. So then they could eat well and always open their mouths with a smile full of beautiful teeth.
Of course my tooth didn’t grow into a big tree, but beautiful thoughts made my childhood warm and unforgettable. With them, I    10   up.

It was an exciting moment for Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, a retired married couple from Harbin, China. It was also a great moment for China because it was the country’s first gold medal in the pairs figure（花样）skating competition at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
Everyone was very quiet when Shen and Zhao were skating onto the ice. They were expecting something wonderful to happen. As soon as the music started, Shen and Zhao skated around the field quickly with beautiful style; every move was perfect. When the music stopped, all the people cheered. In the end Shen and Zhao won the Olympic gold medal.
In China, winter sports are not as popular as they are in America and Northern European countries. So China sent only 90 athletes to Vancouver to take in a few, carefully chosen sports. Such a good decision also led to Wang Meng and Zhao Yang winning gold medals in the little known, but exciting sports of short track (轨道) speed skating.
China did not win a lot of medals at these Winter Games. Most of the events are still very new to China and need to be developed. But Chinese athletes learn very quickly. For example, China’s women’s curling team(冰壶队) only began in 2003, but they were No. 1 at the 2009 World Women’s Curling Championship.
This means that with hard work and a bit of luck, China’s winter stars could soon shine on the world stage.
