Now I (read) an article about Kevin Richardson. He is a South African animal behaviour scientist has spent many years (live) with lions in an animal reserve. He has created such love and trust with the lions he  (consider) to be one of the family. Kevin never (worry) about the danger being so close to the lions, though if you watch him lie down with three or four huge lions, you wonder if maybe he should! He knows their personalities in the same way a mother knows about her children. So far, he

(make) documentaries about his experiences. His wonderful film, White Lion, follows the story of how a very special lion survived, though he  (face) many problems.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to (anyone). We can share secrets(秘密)our friends and turn to them for help when we are  trouble. In a word, it is nice (have) a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Certainly, sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never hadfriend.

To make friends, we must be(friend).A cheerful person smiles. A smile always (make) the others like us. Smile at someone and we are sure to get a smile from him.

Try (remember) names. It makes our new friends feel happy when we call them by their names, we don't forget them.

When I was little, my mother sold flowers in London. She couldn't 1me at home, so I had to go with her. As I grew older, I began to 2 her and I really enjoyed it.

Things changed (改变) when I was 14. My grandma3 me a book for Christmas. It was about making candles. I loved it so much that I spent all my free time on 4 of all shapes and sizes. I made hundreds of them.

One day, my mother was ill so I had to go to the 5 by myself. I decided to take some candles with me and see if I could sell them. To my 6, they were sold out in 20 minutes! The next week, my mum gave me some 7 to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles. They were sold out quickly, too. Nine months later, we decided to stop 8 flowers. My mum and I couldn't make enough candles during the week, so some of my school friends started to help us, I 9 them one pound for every candle, and we sold them for much more money. It was 10 and my friends worked with me happily.

When I was 22, my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop.

—For six months.

—OK, Mom.
