As time went by, many things were forgotten. However, I could 1remember years back during my first day in the 5th grade. I transferred(转学) to a local school for boys. I was a new student then. Life was really2for my parents because of a higher schooling fee(费用).

At school, we were3to wear a white shirt with the school's sign on its left pocket that could be bought in the school shops. And at the top of this pocket should be worn a name tag(标签). This tag was sold at the school4, too. To5added cost, mom decided to make the tag herself by hand.

"This would do, and you can have a try." she said. "OK, Mom." I was not ready to wear it. I thought it was different. At school, boys looked at my tag and some 6it. "Your helper sure did an ugly job." And another added. "How strange it is! At least it caught our7. I knew it. At first, I tried to cover it and forgot it. But at last I understood that it didn't matter if I was different from others who wore the machine- made tags.

I realized it should not stop me from doing my best8we have differences in the culture or economic(经济) situation. What is true is that Mom9much lime making it possible to give the best for me. I should be10of it. And I did. I wore this Mom-made tag for the rest of the school year.

Food is very important. Everyone needs to well if he or she wants to have a strong body. Our minds also need a kind of food that is knowledge (知识). We begin to knowledge even we are very young. Small children are interested everything around them. They learn something while are watching or listening. When they are getting older, they begin to story books, science books… anything they like. When they find something new, they love to ask questions and try to find out the .

What is best way to get knowledge? If we learn    ourselves, we will get the most knowledge. If we are always getting answers others and do not ask why, we will never learn well. When we study in the right way, we will learn more and understand .

Last Sunday, my friend invited me to have dinner in her home. When I1her house I saw her 12-year-old son chopping(砍) wood in the yard. I was so 2at it. I was worried about him because he was using an axe. (斧头) I felt it was so 3 for such a small boy to do the work. But my friend seemed not to think so. She said that her son often helped out with the 4 around the house and did a good job.

I began to think. Why was her child taking such grown-up tasks 5 I could hardly get mine to clean their rooms? I always got angry with my children when they 6 their clothes and other things everywhere. But it was no use stopping them making a(n)7 in their rooms. And I 8 asked them to help me with the housework. However, in fact, scientists 9 that doing chores can give children confidence. And it encourags children to see 10 as a part of the family. I think that I should start making my children do the chores from now on.

Do you have a favorite place -- a place with family and relatives(亲戚), good weather and fun things to do? I'm glad I have. New Jersey is my favorite place. I like it for many reasons(原因).

The first reason is my family and relatives. Half of my relatives live in New Jersey. When I visit them, my cousins and I play games and have fun together all the day. My uncles and aunts like taking me to the park. There we can ride roller coasters and play in the water. We all feel happy to stay together.

The second reason is the weather. It is not hot, and it's always cool. When I think about my visits to New Jersey, I can just feel the little wind in my hair. It's so great to stay there.

The third reason is catching crabs(捕蟹). If it's the crab season, we often catch(抓）crabs. We keep the blue crabs and the snow crabs, and we let the others go. Once, my cousin catches a crab. It is so big that it can't get out of the crab bag! Finally, we help it get out, but it hurts one of its legs. Poor crab!

For all these reasons, New Jersey is my favorite place.

A teacher wanted to show his ideas to the students more ,so he gave an example in his class.

He took out a large glass and said," OK, time for a game. "Then he put some stones carefully the glass. When the glass was filled to the top and no more stones would fit inside, he asked," Is this glass ?" Everyone in the class answered," Yes. "

Then the teacher said," Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bag of sand. He put it in and the glass, causing the sand down into the spaces among the stones. Then he asked the students again, "Is this glass full?" This time the class was not so . "Probably not," one of them answered.

"Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bottle of water. He poured the water into the glass and it went into all the spaces left between the stones and the sand.

Then the teacher looked at the students and asked," What can we learn from this game?" One boy raised his and said, "It shows us, no matter how full your plan is, you can always fit some more in it if you try really hard."

"Wonderful!" said the teacher." But that's not the point. The truth the game shows us is this: If you don't put the big stones in , you'll never get them in at all. "What are the big stones in your life? Maybe the things you love or the things doing. So whenever you think of this game, ask yourself this question," What are the big stones in my life?" to do these things first of all.

From the example above, his students understood him well.

We are now in the 22nd century. With the development of science and technology, people can change their bodies in the way they want.

As years went by, Mr. Smith1his look. Several months ago, Mr. Smith went to a body engineering shop and 2 a small nose. Small noses were very3 these years. After the operation, he looked at himself in the mirror (镜子) and found that his4hair no longer fit his new look. Then he wanted a change to long hair. When he was leaving, the shop keeper5told him that the shop had a special offer on ears. At last, Mr. Smith went out of the shop with a small nose, long hair and two new ears.

In the next few weeks, Mr. Smith's interest in his6kept growing. He bought new eyes, new hands and new feet. After that, he looked very young for his age, and7different. He felt satisfied with himself. However, the 8 in the face and fingerprints brought him much trouble. He was 9 to enter places like railway stations and airports.

A study shows that 12.9% of the students in the university are overweight(超重的).Being too fat is bad for students'1, so some universities are looking for ways to 2 their students lose weight(减肥). Tianjin University is one of them.

Tianjin University has a special lesson. There are some 3 between this lesson and others. 4 the lesson, students can get two academic credits(学分).And they'll also get new bicycles and swimming cards5 they really lose some weight." We have all kinds of sport classes for overweight students and they can 6 which one to have," a teacher said.

I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal and eggs. When others had sugary drinks and candy for lunch, I had to eat sandwich. But at least I wasn't alone. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mothers as I did.

My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. We had to be in bed by 9:00 pm. and up 8:00 am. We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make our beds and learn to cook. 1believed she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do for us.

Through the years, things didn't improve a lot. We could not lie in bed "sick" like our friends did in order to miss school. My mother was the meanest mother. Out off our children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people. I am trying to raise my children like this. I will feel proud when my children call me mean

Because, you see, I am thankful that I had the meanest mother in the whole world. Mother's love to their children can be rather deep, yet this love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent. That is where true love lies.

It's hard to be an astronaut's son. Everybody expects you to be 1. I'm just a normal eleven-year-old kid. My father is so good at everything. I often wonder 2 my father ever had a son like me.

One morning, my teacher announced a 3 Day essay(散文) competition for the whole school. What would I 4? My father is an astronaut. I would start out like that. No, I decided I wouldn't do that. The whole country and maybe even the whole 5 saw my father as an astronaut, 6 that wasn't the way I saw him.

How did I 7 my father? Hmm. .

I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I was little and had a nightmare.

I saw him teaching me how to throw a baseball.

I remembered him hugging me for hours when my dog was killed by a car.

And I remembered how he 8 me with a new little dog at my eighth birthday party.

These were the things I was going to write about my dad. To me, he wasn't 9 a world-famous astronaut, he was my dad.

On Thursday night, the winning essays would be 10 in the hall with all the parents and students present. When the third prize was announced and it wasn't me, I was relieved and 11 at the same time. Then the second prize. It was me! I went up to the stage and read my essay "My Father's Son". I watched my parents as I read.

When I finished reading, the audience(观众) applauded(鼓掌). I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's 12. Dad 13 his throat, and put his hand on my shoulder, "Son, this is the proudest moment of my life. "

It was the proudest moment of my life , too. Maybe I'll 14 be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but just then, it was 15 just to be my father's son.

    Starting from September, 2016, the panda is no longer on the world's "endangered animal list".

    According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, there are about 1,850 pandas in the wild in China now. In 2003, the number was 1,600. So it takes the panda off the Red List.

    China's hard work in the past 50 years to save the panda is paying off. China sets up reserves (保护区) and plants a lot of bamboo forests. Now, about two thirds of pandas are living in the 67 panda reserves.

    How did Chinese researchers successfully increase the number of pandas? They put in money, science, time and love. Here are two examples of their hard work.

    Bamboo is pandas' main food. And these guysare big eaters! A panda needs 12kg-38kg of bamboo a day. In the 1980s, without enough food, the number of pandas dropped to just over 1,200. To save pandas, China sets up 67 panda reserves and plants a lot of bamboo forests there.

    But there is still bad news. Our earth is getting warmer. It's going to get too hot for the bamboo to grow. More than a third of bamboo forests could go away within 80 years, scientists say. It's still dangerous for pandas.

When Charles Lee handed me the small red notebook in 1974, he changed my life. "You should keep notes on the things you see and do while travelling,1you will forget them some day," he explained. I was staying in his house when travelling in England.

I took his2. I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay and back to university. l recorded weekend trips, my professors and ideas about my life and future.

When I wrote, I wondered about my3and purpose. Who would read this? Was I recording events and ideas just as a reminder to memory, or was there some larger purpose for this4exercise?

I got a big picture for the task. I was recording events, thoughts, words that were5to my life. I6a future me sitting down to read the pages. I wondered what it would feel like to read those words later.

I filled the notebook Charles gave me. I bought a new one and7it. Then another and another. Recently, I decided to look through my notebooks in the past 42 years. Charles had been8. I remembered the big9, the central happenings, but on each page were details(细节)I had10.

I hadn't written every day, but I always picked up the11when I wanted to. I often wrote in them at school12my students were writing. I wanted to pass on the13Charles had given me. These writings formed a continuous(持续的)14between my past, present, and future through events in my life.

It took several long evenings to read through notebooks. As I read, I suddenly realized they are a gift to the15me—I am now the person I was writing to throughout those years.

"How many experiments have you done for the new medicine?" A reporter asked a famous scientist in an interview .

"Maybe over one thousand. Too many to count." The scientist smiled.

"Have you ever been bored with the job and thought about giving up, especially when you failed again and again in experiments?" The reporter was surprised.

"Never. " The scientist answered.

 "What makes you different from others?" The reporter continued. 

The scientist replied, " I think it all came from an experience in my childhood. At the age of four, I was trying to get a bottle of a milk from a fridge. The bottle got out of my hands and fell, making all the milk over the kitchen floor. When my mother came and saw all the mess, she didn't shout at me angrily. Instead, she said, 'Jimmy, it's such a pool of milk. Well, would you like to get down and play in the milk before we clean it up?'So I started playing in the milk. After a few minutes I cleaned it with my mother's help. She then said, "Now let's go out in the backyard, fill the bottle with water and see if you can carry it without dropping it.' That way I learned that if I held a bottle at the top with both hands, I could carry it without dropping it."

"From then on, I knew that I didn't need to be afraid of making mistakes, because I can learn something new from mistakes. And that's what scientific experiments are all about." the scientist added.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.

Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals.    It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal or a map.  But he drives aimlessly (漫无目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be? 

 They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach.  You are the ones who must achieve them.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more possible to achieve it.  They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.

My name is Kate. I'm in Beijing now. I want to see my brother in Tianjin train this weekend. So I have to buy the ticket（车票）first.

On Friday morning, I take a bus to the station. When I go in the hall of the station, I meet Amy, my old friend from Nanjing. It is her time to come to Beijing. She wants to go to a store, she doesn't know how to get there. I think she needs my help. I ask her to for me in the hall and I go to buy the ticket.

When I finish my ticket，Amy isn't at the place. I find her anywhere in the hall. I run to the broadcast room（广播室）of the station and ask the workers there for help. They use the broadcast to help me find Amy. After ten , Amy comes. She tells me she can't find the place she comes out of the toilet（卫生间）。

These days, we can watch a video（视频）. In the video, it's difficult for lots of village children in Yunnan to go to school. The children have to get up at five or six and then walk a very long way to go to school. It usually takes them about two hours to get to school. At that time, it is still dark. They are in great danger when they walk in the dark.

It's also difficult for many other children to go to school. Can you remember a photo, the" Snowflake（冰花）Boy? "The boy's name is Wang Fuman and many people know him from the photo. In the photo, we can see the boy in the classroom, with a red face and much ice on his head. To get to school, he has to walk for a long time every morning.

With the help of many kind people, now these children have new classrooms to study in and nice dormitories to live in. "Our classroom is really great. I can live in the school, so I don't have to go home every day, "Wang says. Wang also has a new house. Now he lives in it happily with his parents, grandmother and sister.

I walked into a wild third-grade classroom. Loud music was playing, kids were throwing a football, and students were dancing wherever they could find space. I was a mid-year replacement(替补). The previous(之前的)teacher said he could no longer teach these children and left the job during the holiday break. (A)As soon as I walked into the room, I understood why he left.

I sat down quietly in my chair and began reading their names softly. ① I then put up a mirror on the wall next to the blackboard and began writing my name and a reading task on the blackboard.

I then asked the children to come up one by one, tell me their names and what they wanted to learn about. It was a difficult task, (B)    only two children said they wanted to learn anything!

(C)我为教室制定规则and talked to the students' parents in the hope that I could fix this rowdy(吵闹的)bunch of kids. ②But it was the mirror that saved the day—no, the year!

The mirror allowed me to see my students' every move while I was writing on the blackboard. They soon became puzzled about how I knew who was misbehaving while I looked at the blackboard. When one student finally asked me, I told him I had a special teacher's eye in the back of my head that my hair covered. At (D)    , they did not believe me. But they did begin to behave better, especially while I wrote on the blackboard. They were starting to believe that I had magical vision(视力). ③Why mess up(搞砸)a good thing?

Mr White has a big house. He lives in a very old village. He has no children. He has a cat and two dogs. One dog is yellow, and the other one is black. There are many trees and flowers near the house. Look! The cat is running up the big tree. It wants to catch the bird in the tree. Mr White opens his fridge(冰箱). He would like something to eat. But he can't find anything. There is no food and no drink in it. He says to Tim and Tom, "Here's the money. Go to the shop and get some meat and bread. The meat is for you, and the bread is for me. "

The two dogs take the bags of money with their mouths and run to the shop. A moment later(一会儿), one of the dogs comes back with a pieces of paper. It says, "I'm sorry, Mr White. There isn't any bread in my shop today. "
