He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes , he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone.

I help to look after some old ladies at the old people’s home every week.
This afternoon when I was going to go there, the telephone rang. It was my husband (丈夫). “Sorry, dear, but I have to work late in my shop today. So you have to take Taylor home after school.” I decided to take my son with me to the old people’s home for the first time because I couldn’t find any friend to help me.
With my new partner, I started my work. I found that just when we wanted to leave their rooms, my son kissed everyone on their faces and whispered (低声说) something in their ears. Every lady looked happy.
Later in the evening, my husband asked how my work went on.
“It’s lots of fun,” I said. “We are quite a pair. When Taylor kisses the ladies, it surely makes them happy, especially (尤其是) when he whispers in their ears.”
“What do you whisper about?” asked my husband.
Looking up at his dad and me with his brown eyes, he told us, “I whisper, ‘I love you, Grandma. And I just want you to know that you look so beautiful today.’”
I asked, “Why do you do that?”
He said, “I just know it can make them feel good.”

Dear Li Hua,
How are things going? Now we are having Gaelic football matches in the school. Have you heard of Gaelic football? It’s one of the oldest sports in Ireland. It’s loved and played by men, women and children all around the country. The ball game uses a ball like soccer balls and is played between two teams with fifteen players per team. Every player can use both their hands and feet. In Gaelic football there are two different types of score possible, in the form of goals and points. When a player kicks or hits the ball past the goalkeeper and into the net, he wins a goal, and the umpire (裁判员) behind the goalposts would raise a green flag. If a player kicks or hand-passes the ball between the posts but over the crossbar, he wins a point, and a white flag would be raised. Each point is worth one, and a goal is worth three points. A traditional Gaelic football match lasts seventy minutes in total with two halves of thirty-five minutes each.
In my school, every June we have big matches, and every class has a boys team or girls team. I am on my class’s girls team. I really enjoy playing in the game, and I feel really proud when I score a point or goal.
Do you love sports too? What sport does your school often play?
Yours truly，
Emily

【推荐1】In almost every American city, there are local organizations helping people stop smoking. One of the most popular and successful organizations is the California Smokers’ Helpline. Here is a page from one of their leaflets.
When we really want a cigarette—try the three Ds:
1. Delay: Look at your watch and wait for a couple of minutes. If you can wait two minutes, you won’t want to smoke.
2. Drink something: If you drink water or some other drinks, you will reduce the need to have something in your mouth.
3. Deep breathing: Breathe in slowly and deeply. Count to five when your lungs are full. Then breathe out slowly. Repeat several times.
And here are some ideas from Florida’s Anti-smoking Club to help people to give up smoking:
1. Make a plan: Make a list of friends who smoke and places where you smoke. Don’t see those people and don’t go to those places!
2. Keep busy: Instead of smoking, make a phone call, take a short walk or talk with a friend.
3. Develop new interests: Exercise—walking, biking, jogging, swimming or taking a music class—helps you to forget about cigarettes.
It is now against the school rules if someone smokes at any time in our school. So set a date, and act at once to give up smoking for your own good.

5. What’s the title (标题) of the passage?
We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the jungle” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. Most other animals in the jungle run more slowly than the lion, so it can hunt better. The lion is the top animal in the land food chain.
In the sea, the shark is at the top of the food chain. Most other sea animals swim much more slowly than it. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.
What is at the top of the world's food chain? Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest! We could not catch up with most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.
People’s inventions help a lot, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, many years ago in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves.
The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller.
The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland became desert because the rabbits destroyed (毁坏) it seriously.
Remember that we are a part of the food chain, we are in danger, too! If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves. Luckily, people have paid much attention to such problems. We will do more things to keep the balance of ecosystem in the future.
