Two years ago, I took a bus to visit a friend living on a farm. My friend ________ to pick me up from the bus station.

If we want to deal with the association between boys and girls properly, here are some “does and don’ts” for you to follow.

Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex（性别）in public instead of in secret.

Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.

Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence（青春期）are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is fullripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.

A young woman in her twenties was sitting     46     the train, next to her mother. They both looked tired but excited. The young woman was looking out of the train’s window. Suddenly, she shouted, “Mom, look, the trees are behind us!” Her voice was so     47     that everyone on the train heard. Mom smiled.     48     a young couple who were sitting nearby looked at the young woman’s childish（孩子气的）behaviour with pity. “Poor girl. There must be something wrong with her     49    .” they thought.

A few minutes later, the young woman shouted     50    . “Mom, look! The clouds are running with us!” Mom smiled again. And she seemed very happy with her daughter’s     51     that she said just now. Finally, the couple couldn’t help asking the old woman, “Sorry if we offend（冒犯）you. But why don’t you     52     your daughter to a good doctor?” The old woman smiled and said, “Actually, we have just come from a hospital.” “Then you should go to a     53     one. Because it seems that your daughter’s situation（状况）hasn’t improved.” said one of them. “No, in fact I’m very happy with the treatment（治疗）.” said the mother, “My daughter was blind from birth. Today, she is seeing the world for the     54     time.”

Every person has a story. Don’t judge people before you know     55     well. The truth might surprise you.

It’s not often to see a team earn 11 straight wins(连胜)in a tournament(锦标赛). However, the Chinese women’s volleyball team has done it!

On September 29th, 2019, China took the Women’s Volleyball World Cup trophy(奖杯)in Japan. The team didn’t lose any of its games during the tournament. It was also the team’s 10th world title.

“The trophy is the best gift to celebrate the 70th birthday of New China,” People’s Daily said in an article.

The Chinese women’s volleyball team has long been the pride of Chinese athletes. In the 1980s, the team won five world titles in a row, which raised people’s confidence at the time. Since then, its fighting spirit has inspired generations(一代代)of people, both within the team and across the country.

Working hard was key to the team’s success. The World Cup was played in several different cities and the team didn’t have much time to train. The girls had to squeeze in(挤出)training time when they could. On September 25th, for example, they arrived in Osaka at 2:30 p.m. and started training only an hour later.

Never giving up, especially during difficult times, is also part of the team’s fighting spirit, according to head coach Lang Ping. Many of the team’s members kept on playing even after being injured(受伤的). Opposite hitter Gong Xiangyu went to Japan with an injured finger. Blocker Yan Ni had a serious shoulder injury.

With their latest win, the girls are ready to prepare for 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
