After five days, he stumbled (踉跄) into the village of Korphe in northern Pakistan, injured (受伤) and hungry. The kind villagers there looked after him for several days.

Greg went back home to the USA to raise money for the school. He even lived in the car to save money! Finally he went back to Korphe and built the school. But this was just the beginning of something bigger! Later, Greg’s organization has built around 80 schools and runs many others in Pakistan and other countries too.

He does many other things to help people in poor countries. He has got many prizes, but it’s the smiles of the children he has helped that make him happy!

What to think about when planning

When planning your writing, think about why you’re writing, and who you’re writing to.

The reason you’re writing is your purpose(目的) for writing. The audience is the person or the people you are writing to.

The writing process(过程)

Writing may be done alone or together with one or more people. You may want to write by hand or you may prefer(偏爱) word-processing it.

23、Last Friday, I agreed to meet some friends at 6:00 p.m. in a coffee shop. The weather was sunny, so I decided to walk there. I arrived ten minutes early. I ordered a cup of coffee and sat watching people. There were some boys playing football on the street, and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled (滚) across the road.

24、I will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway on the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy, I always thought people simply bought whatever they need. Whether Grandfather know this, I didn’t know. One day he said, “Come, I have something for you. ’’

I followed him to a workroom. “You should have a toy boat. You can sail it at Storvassdal,” he said. “Great,” I thought, looking around for the boat. But there was none.

Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. “The boat is there,” he said. Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. “It’ll be a fine boat, and you’ll make it with your own hands,” he said, “No one can give you what you do for yourself.” The words rang in my head as I worked. The boat was finished. It wasn’t much to look at, but I was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.

We had to return to America. “You cannot bring that boat home with you,” my mother said. We had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.

I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.

In 1964, I went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.

I carved(雕刻) “1930” and “1964” on its side and put it back.

I returned to the lake in 1968,1971,1977 and 1988. Each time I had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near.

My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine, 13; Claire, 12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, “Grandpa, someday I’ll come back.” She added, “And I’ll bring my children.”

【1】What lesson did the writer’s grandfather probably teach him?

A．Boys should have a toy boat at childhood.

B．People can simply buy whatever they need.

C．Boys should learn to make a boat out of wood.

D．No one can give you what you do for yourself.

【2】The underlined words “we three” in Paragraph 6 refer to ________.

A．Mother, the boat and me

B．Catherine, Claire and me

C．Grandfather, the boat and me

D．Grandfather, Mother and me

【3】According to the passage, we can infer that ________.

A．The writer’s grandfather died in 1930

B．Claire understood the meaning of the boat

C．The boat took me back to Norway four times

D．The writer’s mother was born in western Norway

“OK” is widely【2】 (speak) all over the world, New York Daily News reported.

It was first introduced【3】the world in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839. It read “o.k. – oll korrect (all correct)”. It was only a joke at that time. But  【4】  (late) “OK”became widely used in documents and telegraphs (电报). People used it to say that all was well.

Today, we use it almost every day. “How about 2 o’clock? OK?” “OK.” The word “OK” is easy to say and write. It is also clear enough for people【5】  (understand).

It also has neutrality (中性) that other words don’t have. You may say something is great, while other people may say it isn’t. 【6】with “OK”, everyone usually agrees.  

There are different ways of spelling “OK”: okay, ok, and O.K. for example. But they all sound the same. However, “OK” is【7】  (widely) used spelling and is often used in writing. People sometimes use “okay” when writing because it looks more like a real word.
