11．　　Hello, I'm Alice. I became a (1)       several years ago. When I first started teaching, I had a lot to learn. The biggest (2)       was what to say to my students and their parents. The best I could think of was "Logan, you're doing great!"or "Madeline, you need to hand in (上交) your homework on time." I wanted to improve (3)       with my students, but I couldn't find the words to (4)       with them. Later, I found making friends with students was a (5)       way.

　　Communicating with the students' parents was another (6)       to me. At first, when I talked with the parents, I often felt (7)      . Sometimes, although I started a talk, I didn't know how to (8)       the talk. So I asked a teacher with experience for help. He told me to try (9)       or emailing the students' parents. That could help to reduce (减少) my (10)       of talking with them. I tried and it worked. Now I'm confident (自信的) enough to talk to them face to face.

14．　　We all know that students don't have enough money to buy expensive gifts. So what should you do if you want to give gifts to the important people in your life? Here are some good ideas for you to try.

15．　　One day, Mr. Smith gave us the result of a math exam. I did badly in the exam. I felt so upset that I didn't want to talk to anyone. At lunchtime, I still stayed in the classroom alone. Suddenly I heard Cathy's voice, "Linda, you look sad. What's wrong?" I had a look at her but said nothing. I knew Cathy got good grades in the exam, so I thought she was laughing at me. She kept asking me some questions, "Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to help you?" I kept silent all the time. Then Cathy went out. After a while, I looked for my math paper here and there, but I couldn't find it.
In the afternoon, Cathy came up to my desk and returned my paper to me. I looked at it and got a big surprise. Cathy wrote down how to work out each problem on my paper. How kind she was! My face turned red at once. At that time, I wanted to hug (拥抱) her, but all I did was to hold her hands and said, "Thank you!"
　　Cathy and I are still best friends now. I believe our friendship (友谊) will last long.

16．　　I'm not ready to write everything about the accident, but the lesson I learned can help other people. Driving carelessly is dangerous. One day, I was driving on the road. A car across from me seemed to be turning right, but the driver changed his mind and kept going. I didn't notice that, because I was trying to get my phone. Then I heard a big noise. The accident happened.
　　Some people saw the accident and came to ask me something, but I was in panic and couldn't think of anything. I wanted to call someone for help. However, I couldn't find my phone and I didn't remember anyone's phone number. Finally, the police found my bag in the car and my iPad was in it. They sent a message to my family.
　　From the accident, I hope people can learn that: be careful when driving. It's dangerous to use phones when driving. Don't drive quickly. It's necessary to keep your family's phone numbers in mind. With a phone today, almost nobody tries to remember phone numbers any more. But sometimes, your mind works better than your phone.

17．　　Ethan is 21 years old now. His classmates often laughed at his build before. "People always laughed at my build when I was really young. It started in primary school, and went all the way through middle school, high school and into college," Ethan said. He reached his top weight (体重) of 378 pounds (磅) when he was 19.
　　Ethan knew he had to make a change, so he started eating less and exercising. He was able to lose 30 pounds by himself before joining Anytime Fitness, a 24-hour gym (健身房). He exercised hard there every day. Just 18 months later, Ethan lost about half of his body weight.
　　Ethan is now telling others to live in more active (积极的) and healthier ways. He goes to a local walking group twice a week to help others get out of heavy weight. "I want people to know that they have to keep doing it." he said. "You can't make it in one night. It's going to take time."
　　He ran in the Chicago Marathon on October 13. He also raised money for a group called Action for Healthy Kids. It helps to make schools healthier places for kids to grow up.

18．　　I was reading my favorite book on the train. The book was so interesting that I completely lost myself in it. When it was time to get off the train, I jumped out of my seat and ran off the train. I had the book in my hand. I didn't realize it was raining hard until I got off the train.
　　I was so worried about my book that I ran to the closest office. It was empty (空的). I felt a little nervous about running into the room in such a rude (无礼的) way.
　　Later, a man came in. To my surprise, he didn't feel angry about a stranger getting into his office and started talking to me in a friendly way. "No umbrella, right?" he asked. "Mom told me to bring an umbrella this morning, but I didn't listen to her, " I answered. "That's not good, young man. I'm sorry to say that I have only one," he said. Hearing this, I felt very sad. There was no way for me to go home in such heavy rain. Then the man continued, "But I'll finish my work in 10 minutes. If you don't mind, I can drive you home." You can guess how excited I was. I kept saying thanks.
Finally, I arrived home safely. I felt really thankful for the man's kind act.
