It was the last day of school and I planned to travel to my friend’s hometown. I hadn’t seen him for years and this was a good  36 to meet him again.
I was busy at school so it was rather  37 when I came back home. It was already 10 o’clock at night. Time was running out. After a hurried meal I left.  38 I found a taxi very soon. Asking the driver to drive me fast to the station, I relaxed for a while, imagining what my friend looked like now. I was soon at the station and was sure that I would be able to  39 the train. Unfortunately, I fell on the way and lost some time. To my complete  40 , when I reached the platform, I saw that the train had just left! It was the last train so I had to  41 home.
My mother was glad to see me back as she had a feeling about my trip. But I was unhappy. I tried to relax and went to bed but I had a  42 sleep. The next morning I was very tired. As I was having breakfast the  43 arrived. I read over the pages and was shocked to  44 that the train I missed had had an accident. How  45 I was that I missed the train!

“Who did this？”asked Miss Green.
There were 30 children in the classroom and all were trying to think about not only what they did, but also what our teacher already knew.
“Who broke this window?” 
“Uh, Oh.”I thought. I was the one who broke the window with a football. I did not mean to do it. I would be in a lot of trouble. How could I pay for a big window like that? I didn’t want to put up my hand. But I had to tell the truth. So, I put up my hand and told the teacher I broke the window.
Miss Green went to the bookshelf and took down a book.
“I know how you like birds, Peter.”She said .“Here is a book about birds and the book is yours now. I will not punish you this time. But Peter, you should remember that I am rewarding （奖赏）you for your honesty（诚实）, not for breaking the window.”
I couldn’t believe it! The teacher didn’t punish me and I was getting my very favorite book. Now, I still use that book, and it always reminds me of (使我想起)the lesson my teacher taught me.
Honesty is always best.

中学生在成长的过程中总会遇到不同的烦恼，以下是一些学生的自述和生活老师的解决

办法，请你给予合理的配对。

1.I borrowed Jimmy’s favorite storybook last week. But I can’t find it now. I think I have left it somewhere.

2.I was criticized seriously by my Chinese teacher when I was sleeping in the class. Now I don’t like Chinese classes as before. It makes me feel embarrassed.

3.I had forgotten to turn off the mobile phone before I entered the classroom. It rang for a long time in the class. None of my classmates have criticized me, but I am upset about it now.

4.I have dreamt of volunteering to clean the city park, but I am afraid that others will laugh at me. They may think I am a cleaner.

5.I think I am creative. I always have some new ideas. And I spend lots of time trying to invent something. But my parents let me spend all the time in the school subjects..

A. If I were your Chinese teacher, I would be angry, too. So I think you should realize yourself first. Then have a talk with your teacher and tell him you won’t do that again.

B. We shouldn’t laugh at cleaners. We can’t live a clean life without them. So don’t be shy and be a volunteer as you have dreamt.

C. You’d better buy a new book for him. And then you can explain to him what has happened. D. Remember to say sorry to him.

E. According to your description, I can see that you are a very nice child. I think you can give a small speech to apologize (道歉) to them after class.

F. I think a creative child should be encouraged. Why not make a good plan with your parents? G. You can spend most time in school subjects. And in your spare time, you can try your ideas.
