As a book lover, I like Robinson Crusoe best. This book is written by Daniel Defoe, and it has already 3 （赢得） the hearts of students like me. Every time I read it, I see a tall and strong Robinson. He is an 4 （积极的） and smart man. I like him so much.When Robinson was young, he was interested in 5 （航海） on the sea day and night. Unluckily, once his ship was destroyed in a terrible storm, he had to live on an island for nearly 6 （三十）years. There were 7 （没有一人）of the people on the island. During those years, he not only 8 （惦念） his families and friends but also had to 9 （与战斗）against natural disasters, experience hunger and overcome illnesses. 10 （最终地）, he went out of the island with his strong spirit and hard work. From this book I learn a lesson that our life cannot be lucky all the time. But no pain, no gain, and only hard work can lead us to a wonderful future. Last Friday, our school had a trip to Wenzhou Zoo, where the animals live in 11（和平地）. All of the classmates went to the zoo 12（除了）Lingling. She was at home because her leg was hurt. We went there by bus. It 13（花费）us an hour to get to the zoo. In the zoo, we saw 14（众多）of animals, such as pandas, elephants, tigers and so on. I love pandas best. I wanted to feed them, but the zoo didnt 15 允许）us. I think pandas are the most lovely animals in the world, but they are in 16（危险）now. There are only about 1600 pandas in the 17（野生环境）today. They do not have many 18（婴儿）. And they need to eat bamboo every day, but the bamboo forests are getting smaller. Luckily, the government is 19（已经）developing plans to save pandas, and is setting up parks 20（保护）them. Whats more, more and more people now know animals are our friends. One day when I was working in a toy shop in Germany, a girl came in with some 21 （硬币）in her hand.

Bu unluckily she couldnt 27（买得起）it. She looked so sad that I decided to help her. I said there was a sale on that day and she was lucky enough to get the present with the money she had. She was very surprised. She said “I have never 28（期盼）this could happen to me.” She thanked me and left. Of course I was very proud of myself and there is something much 29（有价值的）than that. Ive learned a lesson from it: Helping people is to help themselves! The present not only 30（使满足）the girl, but also brought hope to her brother. Once upon a time, an eagle（老鹰）was flying in the sky when he suddenly saw a beautiful hen. The eagle came near the hen and said, “My pretty hen, I love you. Will you be 31 （I）wife?”The hen was scared, for the eagle was so strong. Her husband, the cock had gone out to look for food and her kids had gone away somewhere to play with other 32 （child）. The hen quickly answered, “Im willing to be, but let me first grow wings like yours, so I can fly 33 high as you.” The eagle replied, “OK! This ring is for you as a sign of our betrothal（订婚）. Tie it around your neck till I return.”The hen agreed to do so, and the eagle flew 34 . When the cock met the hen the next day, he was very 35 （surprise）to see the ring around her neck. He said, “Where did you get that ring? Throw it away at once.”The hen did this and the cock was cheerful again. But at the weekend, the eagle came 36 . The frightened hen hid herself behind her door but the eagle soon found her out. Suddenly he cried, “Where 37 （be）the ring that I gave you? Why are you not wearing it?”The hen was very scared and said, “Forgive me! I lost it yesterday. I was walking in the garden when I met a large snake. I was 38 scared that I ran fast. When I got home, I couldnt find it.”The eagle looked at the hen 39 （unhappy）and said, “I dont believe you. You have hurt me. I will hurt you. 40 you dont marry me, I will snatch（抓）away all your chickens from you. Good-bye!” A dog was relaxing in a park. Then he saw a cat on the top of a high wall. He thought, “It must be so nice to be high on the wall. But I cant 41 (climb).” The dog felt so bad. Then he 42 (see) a fish in the river. He thought, “It must be so nice to live in the water. But I cant swim.” The dog felt 43 this time. Just then he 44 (hear) the fish say, “It looks so nice and warm on the grass.

She said 48 (loud), “I really want 49 (play) the whole day like this dog. 50 I have to look for food for my kids and myself every day.”The dog heard the birds words.
