I like books     9     I often go to the reading club.     10     you like books? Come with me.

Hello, everyone. I'm Zhang Chen, a student in the eighth grade. It's my honor（荣幸）to tell you about my school here.

It is known to all that Jin Cheng Middle School is     1    good school in our city. In my eyes, it's    2    (beautiful) than any other school here. We can sit comfortably on the green grass reading books. We can go to the big garden     3    (relax) after class. After school, we can play sports and have fun on the playground. For us,     4    (popular) time is during the Art Festival, because there     5    (be) quite few activities letting us show our talents, such     6    writing, painting, singing and dancing. Last year, almost all my classmates joined in the Art Festival. We got together and tried     7    (we) best to make plans for it. With our hard work, we     8    (win) some competitions in the end.

    9    we have stress（压力）because of our schoolwork, we still love our school. With the help of our teachers, we can make our dreams     10    true.

A man got lost in a desert. He walked for two     1    （day） but he still couldn’t find his way out. Dying for water, he found     2     empty house in the desert. There was a water pump （泵）in the house!

The man was so happy     3    he ran to draw water. But no matter how hard he tried, no water came out.

He     4     (sit) sadly on the ground when he saw a little bottle with a cork（软木塞）in it. On the bottle, there was an old note saying: You must add the water into the pump before you can draw water! Don’t forget     5     (fill) it with water again before you leave! The man took the cork out and     6     (happy) found the bottle was full water!

“If I’m selfish, as long as I drink the water, I can go out     7     this room alive”, he thought. “If I do as the note says, I might die of thirst. Should I take the risk or not?”

At last, he decided to do as the note said     8     began to draw water. Lots of water started coming out from the pump!     9     a big surprise!

After he     10     (drink) enough, he filled the bottle with water and added his words after the note.

“Believe me, do as the note tells you!” he wrote.

【推荐2】Shen Junbo is a high school boy from Lianhua community, Haidian district in Beijing. He     1     (praise) by many Internet users for pasting (贴) poems at a nucleic acid test site (核酸检测点).

    2     May 4th, 2022, Shen was standing in line with his mother. They were waiting for the second round of nucleic acid test. He then noticed that the volunteers had to ask people not to get close to each other time after time because the lines on the ground were unclear.

He came up with the idea of printing out poems and pasting them on the ground. In this way, people could read the poems as well as keep a certain distance from each other without     3     (get) bored.

Shen     4     (careful) picked out some excellent poems online after getting back home. He used the lucky money he received during the Spring Festival to print them out at a store. It was past 11 p. m. when he finally finished pasting all the poems on the ground that night.

The next morning, the residents (居民) saw the poems and were all very     5     (surprise) at what Shen did. Internet users thought Shen was such a creative boy. “I’m sure people     6     (notice) these poems whether they’re playing with their cellphones or not,” one netizen (网民) told the newspaper.

【推荐3】I can’t forget that day. It was a cold snowy morning after the winter     1    （假期）. I got up early and went to a new school, which is the most famous one     2    （在……中）middle schools in New York. I was walking alone slowly and worried about lots of things because it was the first time for me to stay     3    （在国外）. It was so early that there weren’t many people on the     4    （空的）road.

Suddenly a girl who was riding her bike got into trouble. She fell down and tried hard to get up but she     5    （失败的）again. Without thinking, I went over and helped her. She said “thank you” with a smile and then rode away. Her words warmed me a lot.

Finally, I got to school. The teacher introduced me to the     6    （全部的）class. Then he asked me to sit down beside a girl. I felt so nervous that I didn’t dare to look at her. Soon the bell     7    （响铃）for the first class. Their textbooks were different from those in my old school. While I was     8    （考虑）asking the teacher for help, an English book appeared in front of me. “Let’s share.” the friendly girl next to me said. “Hi, I’m Carrie.” To my surprise, it was the girl I helped that morning. Later on, we became good friends.

From that I learned: To help others is actually to help     9    （我们自己）. What life teaches us is not only     10    （知识）but also experience. So I hope you can always help others in your life.
