Jo was the first to wake up on Christmas morn...

Jo was the first to wake up on Christmas morning. When her sisters were awake too, they all went own to the kitchen. Their mother wasn't there but Hannah, their servant, was.

"Your mother went out early, "she said. "A poor boy came to the door asking for food. She was sorry for him and she wanted to help him. She went to see his family. "

While they were waiting for their mother to come back, the girls put their presents for her in a basket. Soon they heard the sound of a key in the front door.

"Mother's here!" cried Jo.

"Hide the basket behind the sofa! Quick!"

Then they all rushed into the hall to greet their mother.

"Merry Christmas, Mother!" they cried.

"Merry Christmas, little daughters!" Mrs March said in her happy voice. She hugged them all and kissed them. Then she suddenly became very serious.

"Come and sit down, girls. I want to say something before we start breakfast. "

They all sat down at the breakfast table and Mrs March continued.

"I went to see a poor woman this morning. Her name is Mrs Hummel. She lives near here in one room with her seven children. One of them is only a baby. They are cold and hungry because they don't have a fire or any food. The oldest boy Jack came to ask me for help. Girls, can we give them our breakfast as a Christmas present?"

The sisters looked at the good food on the table. They were all hungry. For a minute nobody spoke.

Then Jo said, "I'm so glad you came back before we started eating, Mother!"

Cait, 11, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the light. This was really strange. Cait didn’t know what to do. Just then, Cait’s father appeared and explained Doug was sleepwalking.

Not all sleep is the same every night. We experience some deep, quiet sleep and some active sleep, which is when dreams happen. You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep but a person isn’t physically active during active sleep. It usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the period called deep sleep.

The truth is that not all sleepwalkers walk. Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they’re awake when, in fact, they’re asleep! Most, however, do get up and walk around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour.

Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open, but they don’t see the same way they do when they’re awake. They tend to go back to bed on their own and won’t remember it in the morning.

You also might have heard that sleepwalkers can get frightened if you wake them up. That’s true, so what do you do if you see someone sleepwalking? You should call for a grown-up who can lead the person back to bed. And once the sleepwalker is tucked back in bed, it’s time for you to get some sleep, too!

Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope（羚羊）wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.” 1. the first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death.” So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.

This is life: full of chances and challenges. 2. For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. 3.

Each time I saw children playing games, and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. 4. So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.

I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. 5. .It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.

A.When a lion wakes from his dream

B.I suddenly knew what competition was

C.There must be competitions in one's life, so people can improve

D.However, I remembered my parents' words, “You must work very hard in order to have a good future.”

E.Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises
