Have you ever planted a few trees on Tree Planting Day? Each year, millions of people, both  1 , plant a lot of trees. But this may not be the best way to make your home a  2 place.

   Last week we visited a park in Hebei. We were  3  to find most of the trees had been burned. The workers told us that the trees 4 soon after they were planted because they weren't watered well enough. 5workers burned them and cleaned the place for 6 trees to be planted this year. 7 a card found in one of the dead trees, a student wrote, ＂I hope this tree will grow up with me to   8   the backbone(栋梁) of our country.＂The workers said that the survival(存活) of the trees was really more important than  9   trees were planted.

    Some people in Beijing now have a new idea that they can donate(捐赠) some money and let professionals (专业人士) plant and  10  the trees.

When I was looking for a Christmas present for my daughter in a toy store, a nicely dressed little girl, with some money in her little hand, was looking at some beautiful {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. When she saw a doll she liked, she would ask her father {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she had enough money. He usually said yes.

At the same time, a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, with old and small clothes, was looking at some computer games. He, too, had money in his hand, but it looked no more than five dollars. Each time he picked up one of the computer games and looked at his father, the father shook his head.

The little girl had {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a very beautiful doll. However, she noticed the boy and his father. She saw the boy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a computer game with disappointment(失望) and walk to another corner of the store.

Sara is fourteen years old. She gets up at seven o'clock in the morning and has breakfast at seven thirty. Then she goes to school by bus. After the lessons she plays in the park with her friends and they like flying kites. Sara goes home at five o'clock in the afternoon. She has dinner with her mother and father. Her father likes cooking and he is good at it! Sara goes to bed at half past nine in the evening.

Sara likes doing sports. She often plays football. She thinks it is interesting! But she doesn't like playing basketball. In summer, Sara likes to go camping (野营) with her grandpa. She doesn't like to help her grandma in the garden (花园). It's not interesting!

Most people choose to live in comfort after they retire ( 退休), but Wang Guilan is not one of them.As a marathon (马拉松)lover, the 70-year-old woman from Liaoning, China has completed over 100 marathons in the last 19 years. People call her Super Grannie".

Wang only started running at the age of 51, as a way to keep in shape, but soon realized she loved it. She ran her 1st marathon in 2004 and hasn' t stopped since. From 2005 to 2017 she completed the Beijing Marathon 13 times, and this year she set a new record, becoming the oldest person to ever complete the 168 -kilometer ultramarathon (超长距离马拉松) of Jiang Nan 100-Mile (а famous ultramarathon in China), in about 40.5 hours.

 "This lady is the same age as my grandmother. How can she run so fast? That's amazing," a young runner said after seeing Wang compete in Jiang Nan 100-Mile in April. This was Super Grannie' s 2nd time competing in the race.

So how does a 70-year-old stay in good-enough shape to complete a marathon that most people half her age couldn' t finish? According to Wang, she runs at least 20 kilometers six days a week from Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday she runs some more. She likes running in the mountains, but in winter, when the weather doesn't t permit, she runs on roads. On average ( 平均）, every year she runs for 7 months in the mountains and 5 months on the road.

Wang always believes that age is not a problem , and she plans to continue running marathons and enjoying her life for as long as she can.

With the help of the Internet, shopping is not a difficult job. Just click your mouse to choose the article (物品) you like, and you can finish shopping. You don't need to walk out of the room. It seems easy and quick. But there's a trap(陷阱) online sometimes. If you are careless, it will bring your some trouble. You may find the colour of the article is different from what you want, or the size is too small or too big. If you want to be different, you'd better not buy clathes online. Once you put on the clothes you buy online and go out, you will find many people wear the same clothes in the street.
