If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. The book is very 1. (success). And it is popular among kids at home and abroad. Even if I am an adult now, I'm still a fan of it. After re-reading the book 2. (recent), I have learnt an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.
In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or 3. (tire) tasks. Have you ever wanted to complain I think 4. (many) people have.
Tom Sawyer, however, had a 5. (difference) thought when he was given a boring task. One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence. Tom was 6. (do) his job when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by. Instead of complaining, Tom 7. (introduce) the task and told Ben that he felt "excited" about it. "Only one in a thousand — maybe even two thousand — boys can do this!" Tom said.
Tom's words made Ben become 8. (interest) in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had 9. (think) about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.
This story 10. (teach) me a valuable lesson: Complaining is useless.

What do you know about this book
《老人与海》是海明威的经典中篇小说，故事梗概如下：
古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续 84 天未捕到鱼，被村民视为 “倒霉鬼”，唯一的忘年交男孩马诺林（曾跟他学捕鱼）虽被父母劝离，仍偷偷帮他备鱼饵、送食物。第 85 天（他心中的幸运数字），老人独自驾船深入墨西哥湾流，钓上一条比船还大的马林鱼。
他将钓索缠手绕背与鱼僵持两天两夜，忍受饥饿、手抽筋和伤口剧痛，靠回忆年轻时掰手腕夺冠、呼唤男孩打气撑住，最终用鱼叉刺死马林鱼，绑船边返航。但血腥味引来鲨鱼群，他用鱼叉、船桨、小刀、船舵柄殊死抵抗，却挡不住鱼被啃食，最终只剩一副 18 英尺长的骨架。
深夜他精疲力尽扛桅杆回家，倒头睡去。次日男孩见骨架痛哭，为他盖被并决定重随他出海；渔民们惊叹鱼的巨大，不再嘲笑他。老人梦中重现非洲海滩的狮子，象征永不熄灭的斗志，核心主题如他所言：“人可以被毁灭，但不可以被打败”—— 物质上他一无所获，精神上却战胜了命运与自我。

Text analysis
□ My favourite book is The Old Man and the Sea. It was written in 1952 by the American writer Ernest Hemingway.
□ The book became popular very quickly. In 1953, it won the Pulitzer Prize.
□ The main character is a fisherman who hasn’t caught anything for months. One day he catches a huge fish, but he has to fight for days to kill it. He finally succeeds, but he can’t pull the fish onto his boat. When the fisherman is on his way back, sharks eat the fish, leaving nothing but bones.
□ This book has taught me not to give up or doubt myself. I’m inspired by how hard the fisherman fights, even though he loses the fish in the end. As Hemingway said, “Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
□ Even though I’ve already read the book three times, I’m not tired of it yet. If you’ve never read Ernest Hemingway, I recommend this book.

A Book Report on Charlotte's Web
I recently read Charlotte's Web by E.B. White, a famous American writer. It is a classic loved by both kids and adults for its warm story.
The main characters are Wilbur, a little pig, and Charlotte, a spider. Wilbur faces being slaughtered, but Charlotte saves him. They become good friends, and Charlotte even sacrifices her life to help Wilbur.
I was deeply moved by their friendship. The story teaches me that true friends help each other selflessly. I highly recommend it to everyone — it's a story full of love and courage.
