I often stay at home{#blank#}1{#/blank#} every weekend．But it's going to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different next weekend．On Saturday morning I'm going {#blank#}3{#/blank#}with my parents．In the afternoon we are going to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} litter in the park near our house．On Sunday morning I'm going to see a movie with my friends and I'm going to fly a kite with my father on Sunday afternoon．I'm going to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a lot of fun next weekend．

    No matter what you want to do in your life, you'll need an education first. You make your own {#blank#}1{#/blank#} . If you want to be a doctor, a teacher, or a police officer? You need a good education. And what you're learning in school today will {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your careers in the future. You will meet with many {#blank#}3{#/blank#} on the way to success.

    The truth is that being successful is hard. Some of the most successful people in the world are the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} who have had the most failures. For example, the first book of J.K. Rowling, the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of Harry Potter, was refused 12 times before it was  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} published. Michael

Jordan was once kicked off his high school basketball team. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#}hundreds of games and thousands of shots during his career. But he said, "I have failed over and over again in my life. But that's why I{#blank#}8{#/blank#}."

    So if you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} .you need to spend more time studying.

    I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. So don't let us down. More importantly, don't let{#blank#}10{#/blank#} down.

    One Christmas, Celina received a special gift—a blue plastic piece. There is green, blue and faded mica(褪色的云母片)in it. It has the same {#blank#}1{#/blank#}as a hand mirror. It was similar to a kind of fish which looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} useful nor beautiful. She thanked, and forgot it.

    One day. Celina {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the dining room. When she took down the box from the bookcase, the strange gift was found. This time she noticed a hook(钩)at one end, and there were several{#blank#}4{#/blank#} on the bottom of the box: Hang on a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}window.

    Then Celina went to the kitchen, hung this gift on a window with the sunshine pouring in all day. To {#blank#}6{#/blank#}surprise，amazing colorful light came into the kitchen. Through the little blue mica colors turned{#blank#}7{#/blank#}green to dark blue，and then to purple …just like the fantastic sea waves. She had {#blank#}8{#/blank#} thought such a small strange gift could lead to a beautiful sea world. On Christmas day Celina didn't find that kind of beauty. But at the moment she understood: a common thing will be so beautiful as long as you make use of it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}.

    The gift has been hung on the window. Every day it reminds her that she should {#blank#}10{#/blank#}some time finding the beauty hidden in people and gifts, it's an important lesson for her.

    Starbucks(星巴克) coffee shops have good drinks and comfortable seats. They are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} places to have a drink. The {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Starbucks opened in 1971, in Seattle, Washington. At first, it was just a common coffee shop. In the 1980's, the managers turned Starbucks into an Italian-style(意大利风格的) coffee shop. Soon, there were Starbucks coffee shops in many American cities. In the 1990's, Starbucks went {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . They opened the first shop in Japan in 1995. After that, shops opened in countries all over Asia. By the year 2000, there had been {#blank#}4{#/blank#} 3,000 Starbucks coffee shops around the world. Starbucks is much more than a coffee shop. The company is part of many community(团体) projects. For example, there is a group of managers called the "Green Team". They {#blank#}5{#/blank#} trees and clean neighbourhoods in their city. So, next time you have a drink at Starbucks, feel good about yourself. It's nice to know that some companies care about you and your environment, not just your money.
