When I was thirteen years old, a girl gave me an important gift. It was a______. It was the early autumn of my first year at a new school. No one knew me. I was very______, and afraid to make friends with anyone.

Every time I hear the other students talking and______, I felt even more lonely. I could not talk to anyone about my problem, and I did not want my parents to______me.

One day, my classmates were talking with their friends, but I sat in silence. At that moment, a girl______the classroom. I did not know who she was. She passed me and then turned back. She______me and, without a word, smiled.

Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made______feel happy and warm. It was like a hidden treasure.

That smile______my life. I started to talk with the other students. Day by day, I learned to trust people, and they included me in their circle of______. The girl with the bright smile______my best friend now, and we stick together like glue.

Now, here's a plan about our school trip. We'll spend the first four days in New York.

We'll visit the city and some famous places like the Statue of Liberty (自由女神像). We will go there by train. We won't go by bus because the journey is too long and we won't have enough time to do everything.

There will be 80 students on the trip. We will travel in three groups, and there will be teachers in each group. I will join Group One.

I hope that everyone on the trip will have a good time, but please remember that it is an educational (教育性的) visit not a holiday. There will be some time for swimming and other sports, but we are going to America to study the American culture. We should speak English as much as possible.

A poor boy lived in a small town. He sold newspapers from door to door to pay for school. One day he had only one cent (分) left, and he was hungry. He decided that he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, when a young woman opened the door, the boy was shy, so he just asked for some water. The woman knew he was hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much should I pay for it?" "You won't pay for it. My mother has told me that it is good to help the people. "

She answered. The boy said, "Then I thank you from my heart." As the boy left that house, he felt stronger. He knew he had many things to do.

Many years later, the young woman became ill. The local doctors couldn't save her.

People had to send her to a big city. The doctor there tried his best and saved her life. The woman asked how much she should pay for it. The doctor told her "You have paid it with a glass of milk."

In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth and many stars. Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes around the sun, and the moon goes around the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night.

Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer.

The sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The moon can't give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun.

The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually (事实上) the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are further away from the earth.

There are many other planets in the universe. But of all the planets, only on the earth there are living things and people can only live on the earth, too. But at 9:00 a. m. on October 15th, 2003, Chinese pilot Yang Liwei was sent up to space. He stayed there for 21 hours. It was the first time for Chinese to get into space.

Andy is a worker for building houses. One day, Andy went to a store after finishing his a job for the day. As soon as he entered the store, Andy noticed that a little girl was looking at him.

Andy knew that his face was very dirty (脏的). But Andy did not mind that. The girl's mother told her to stop looking. However, as they were leaving the store, Andy heard the woman say to her daughter, "That is why you need to stay in school."

Andy thought the words were bad for the child's growth. So he decided to teach the woman and her daughter a lesson. He said to them, "I'm a worker and you may think I'm dirty. But I have also studied in college. I just enjoy working with my hands and I like working outside. Isn't it right to work with my own hands?" The woman's face turned red and left.

So remember that never judge(判断) a book by its cover.

When I was t    56     up my room yesterday, I found an old box of my father's. He g    57     it to me two years ago. It was really interesting to discover something about father's life as a c    58    . He once told me about his h    59     as a child. He wrote to people from all over the world, and they s    60     him letters back.

As a result, he collected many interesting s    61    . People also gave him things from different c    62    , such as a silk fan from China, a little m    63     car from Germany and a small model ship from Australia. My father even kept the ticket from his f    64     football match. The box made me think about my hobby. I want to keep my old picture books and magazines for a l    65     time too.
