We   dinosaurs by encyclopaedias last week.

I   with my parents in the park just now.

A sad little boy was in search of happiness and wanted to meet God.

On his way, he saw an elderly woman 1 in a park watching some birds. The boy sat down 2 her. He opened his bag to take a book when he noticed the lady nearby looked 3. So he gave her a piece of cake. She received it and smiled at him. Her 4 was so wonderful that he wanted to see it again. Then he gave her a can of coke. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was pleased. They 5 there all afternoon, eating and smiling without saying a word.

6 it began to grow dark, the boy got up to leave, but before he had gone no more than a few steps, he turned around, ran 7 to the old woman and gave her a big hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy arrived home, his mother was 8 by the look of happiness on his face. She asked, "What has made you so happy today?" He 9, "I had lunch with God. She's got the most beautiful smile in the world!" And when the old woman returned to her home, she told her son that she had lunch with God.

Too often we overlook the 10 of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, or the smallest act of caring. However, all of these have the possible power to turn a life around.

There was a young painter who made money by painting portraits (肖像画). His dream was 1 famous. One day, a rich lady asked him to paint a portrait for her and promised to pay 2 10,000 dollars.

After a week, the lady came to take the painting. The painting was wonderful, 3 she was not happy with it. She told the young painter, "I will buy this painting only for 3,000 dollars." The young painter felt 4 at what she said. Then he 5 with the lady, hoping that she would keep her promise.

The rich lady said to the painter, "The person in the painting is me. If I don't buy this painting, nobody else will buy it. So you have to sell it to me for 3,000 dollars."

The young painter said 6, "No, I prefer not to sell it rather than be humiliated (羞辱) by you. Someday, you need to spend 20 times the money 7 the painting, because you break your promise today."

After that, the painter worked very 8 day and night. Finally, he became famous in the field of art.

The rich lady soon forgot about the artist and what he had told her. But one day, one of her 9 told her, "There is a painter selling a painting called 'Liar' (说谎的人) for 200,000 dollars. The lady in the painting looks really like you."

Then, the rich lady remembered the painter. She quickly went to 10 sorry to him and paid 200,000 dollars to buy the portrait.

I don't know the meaning of this word either. You can    in a dictionary.
