    Everybody has his own hero in mind and is always trying to copy his behaviors in life. As for1, my grandfather is just that man. My grandfather had a small farm. He also worked in a 2.

    One autumn, most of the farmers in the village were all3, so he promised to help his neighbor harvest the corn as he often did.4, after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa's little corn machine broke.What was5, the factory where Grandpa worked made the workers have extra work. He had to leave the farm6and didn't get back until very late. It now seemed7to help out his neighbor because he really had no free time.

    One night, Grandpa 8that he wouldn't let his neighbor's harvest rot in the field.9a machine, he'd harvest it by hand.

    "I don't think you'd have time to do it," said my grandma."Besides,it would be too dark to do10at night." 

    "I know of one night that I could do it!" he11."There's still one more full moon in October.12the weather is clear, I think I can do it."

    A few days later, after a long shift  at the factory, my grandpa went to the 13.The weather was cold but clear. He cut all the corn through the night to keep his word.

    Sometimes, when I want to14responsibilities, I'd see my grandfather15corn in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of corn stocks stand at attention in respect for a man who keeps his word.

    Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they were young, they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess. Playing teaches children how to get with others, and it also helps to exercise the mind and body. However, children today spend most of their time in front of the computer, playing video games.

    A recent survey found that in the US. Children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or "gaming". Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.

    One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have difficulty communicating with real people. They might have trouble sharing and resolving (解决) problems because they do not practice these skills when sitting alone at a computer.

    Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape.

    Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, they fail in the exams.

    Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted. Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28 - year - old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!

    This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health.

Dear Jack,

    How are you? I had great fun last Saturday, June 20th. It was a traditional festival (call) Dragon Boat Festival that day.

People there rowed the boats(save) him, it was too late. They were very sad and then threw rice into the river to feed the fish so that they would stay away from his body.

    From then on, every year on this day, people enjoy(eat) zongzi once a year, but now we regard it as our daily food.

    Have you ever(watch) the dragon boat races on TV? It is another important part of this festival. Several(team) row their dragon-shaped boats as fast as they can. The first team to reach the finish line.

    If you have a plan to visit China next year, would you like to spend this festival us?

Best wishes,

While learning English, we can find listening and speaking are really important. You'd better try your best (speak) while you do much listening. Don't be afraid of making mistakes.

The important thing is to choose something interesting to read besides the articles from the textbooks. But you can find not difficult to read.  When you are reading in this way, don't stop to look the new words if you can guess their meanings when you have nothing to do with understanding the sentences. You can do that some other time.

    Most Chinese students think English is difficult to learn. What do you think? Here is some advice on learning English.

Tom: Hi, Paul. I haven't seen you for years. What happened to you?

Paul: Sorry. I don't know you. Who are you?

Tom: I'm Tom, your cousin. ?

Paul: Let me see. Oh, you're Tom. I heard you were in Cambridge University.

Tom: . But now I have finished the university.

Paul: . But now you are thin and tall. So I couldn't…

Tom: Really? I used to have sweet food. I ate too much. So I was very fat.

Paul: ?

Tom: Yes. I still wear glasses.

Paul: Where are you working now?

Tom: I am in Fudan University. I have been a teacher of the university.

Paul: You are great. What do you feel like eating? I can treat you to dinner.

Tom: , but I have a meeting.

Paul: All right. See you next time. Tom: See you.

    How do you get to school every day? By bus or car? Song Kexin, a 14-year-old schoolgirl in Xiamen, prefers to go to school on her bike. "It's the quickest and easiest way to get to school," she said. "When there's a traffic jam, I feel the freedom while passing so many car lines."

    China was once known as the kingdom of bicycles. But these years, the popularity of bicycles in Europe is rising. Last year, more bicycles were sold than cars in Europe, according to the BBC.

    Cycling is a safe, clean and cheap way to get around the city. It makes both traffic jams and pollution less, and is great for our health.

    Of course, Rome wasn't built in a day. The popularity of cycling in many European countries is greatly because of bike-friendly policies.

    As the traditional "cycling capital" in Northern Europe, Copenhagen's roads keep bicycles and motor cars separated(分离) as much as possible. On these roads, there are pre-green lights for cyclists. These kinds of bicycle traffic lights turn green a few seconds before car traffic lights do. They give the cyclists time to avoid traffic while crossing.

    In Amsterdam, people can hire a bike from almost anywhere in the city. You can start from three hours and the average price for a full day is 8 euros (66.8 yuan).

This year, in Ruian, there are also similar policies to hire public bikes. It's only 20 yuan for a full day. Do you see them around the city? It's important to be safe when cycling. If you remember the following ideas, you will be safer.

    ■Although you may think a helmet(头盔) is not cool, it can protect your head if you fall down. Just choose the one that fits you best.

    ■Stop at all stop signs and obey red lights just as cars do. It's a good idea to walk your bike across busy crossings by following traffic lights.

    ■If you are cycling with friends, ride in a line. Don't ride with each other side by side.

    ■Wearing headphones while biking is not a good idea. You need to hear what's going on around you.

In the past few years I have had many difficulties while trying to learn English, but I have got over(克服)them and made a lot of 1.

The spelling of words and the meanings of them were the first difficulties I met 2 a beginner, but I have found my own ways to 3them. As for spelling, I never write a new word over and over again to memorize it, but I try to practice its 4. Now, I can spell a word out 5 I read it out. As for meanings, I like to put a word into a 6 to learn its meaning. If I quite 7 use a word, both its spelling and meanings will not be difficult to remember. After all (毕竟), learning English is to 8 it.

Grammar 9 another difficulty. But I have dealt with it, too. I often 10 lots of time reading the English articles. By doing so, I have got a good sense(感觉) of English.

Finally, I want to say that learning English takes time and hard work.

My friend Michelle is blind, but you'd never know it. She makes such good use of her other senses, including her "sixth sense", that she rarely gives the impression that she's1anything. Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us 2 that she doesn't add too much pressure on them. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around 3 fast that the strangers often don't realize she's blind.

I realized this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very 4 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and did art projects. But she was especially excited about 5 finger-painting project.

"Mom, guess what？"said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to 6 colors today! For example, blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle worked with us. "To my great 7, my child had learned about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, "Michelle told me my 8 showed joy, pride and a sense of success. She really 9 what I was doing!" Kayla said she had never known how interesting the finger- paints are 10 Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.

I realized Kayla didn't know that Michelle was blind. It had just never 11 in conversation. When I told my daughter that Michelle was blind, she was quiet for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. "But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly 12 was in my picture!" Kayla insisted. And I knew my child was 13 because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Michelle had also heard Kayla's 14 in her work excitedly.

We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, "You know, Mommy, Michelle really did 'see' my picture. She just used my15."
