Can you keep a secret(秘密)? I have to keep a secret for a long time. My family’s favorite ________ team is Fox Team, but I like a different team—Lion Team.

It is very difficult to be ________. I have to be very good at pretending(假装) when both teams play with each other. I can’t laugh when ________ team scores. I have to go to the bathroom and celebrate there. I can’t be ________ when the other team scores. I can only have my team’s ________ on my bedroom wall when there is no one with me. If someone comes to my room, I have to be quick to ________ what it looks. I have to have a secret wardrobe (衣柜) to put my clothes in, too. And I have to put my favorite team’s clothes ________ the other team’s. Birthdays are bad too, ________ I can’t get football gifts for the team I like.

But then my life changes!

A rich man ________ both teams in my town and makes the two teams into a big one—Animal King Team. Now I can relax and enjoy all the games with my family. I don’t ________ to go to the bathroom when the team scores.

Once there was a rich and clever boy who had everything he wanted, but he was only interested in the rarest things. One day he saw an old ________ , which was said to be very mysterious(神奇的). So he asked his parents to buy it. When the mirror arrived home, the boy looked at ________ in it. His face looked unhappy indeed. He tried smiling and making funny faces, but he still saw his sad expression in it. “What a terrible mirror! It’s the first time. I’ve seen a mirror that doesn’t ________ well!” Finally he put the mirror in the corner.

Later that day, he went into the street to buy toys. On the way he saw a little girl who was crying sadly. The boy went over to see ________ had happened. The little girl told him that she couldn’t find her parents.

Together they went to search for the girl’s parents. As the little girl ________ crying, the boy spent all his money buying her presents to cheer her up. Finally, after much walking, they found her parents who were also much ________ and were looking for their daughter everywhere. They thanked the boy very much.

As it was getting late, the boy decided to ________ for home. As soon as he arrived home, he ________ noticed a shining light in the corner, where he had left the mirror. Seeing this, he went over to the mirror, and realized that the ________ was coming from his own body, so radiant(闪亮的)with happiness.

Then he understood the ________ of that mirror—it was the only mirror in the world which could reflect(映出)the true happiness of its owner. He felt very happy at having helped that little girl.

A father was ________ ill and dying. One day, he said to his son, “Here is a _______ your grandfather gave me. It is almost 200 years old. Before I give it to you, go to the pawnshop (典当铺) in the city. Tell them I want to ________ it, and see how much they offer you.” The son went to the pawnshop, came back to his father, and said, “It took the owner a few minutes to ________ the watch. He found there were some scratches (划痕) on it, so he only offered $20.”

The father said, “Well, try the watch store.” The son went there, came back to his father, and said, “The store offered only $ 100 because it is ________ .” The father asked his son to go to the antique (古董) shop and show them the watch. The son couldn’t understand the ________, but still, he was willing to act on his father’s last wish. This time, the offer ________ him a lot. After he came back, he told his father in ________ that the manager of the shop offered $375,000.”

The father explained, “I wanted to show you that the right place will ________ you in the right way. Don’t find yourself in the wrong place and get ________ because you are not valued. Never stay in a place where someone doesn’t see your value.”
