The snow lasted until last Friday. I opened the window this morning and saw the sun but I felt much colder.

    “You'd better go to work on foot, dear,” said my husband, “It is dangerous for you to drive.”

    I thought him right and agreed. It would take me about forty minutes to get to my hospital. There was about an hour left, so I started, with a bag of sandwich for breakfast. In the streets there was thick snow and ice and the traffic was less than before and people walked carefully. Suddenly I saw a car going fast. The driver tried to pass the crossing before the lights turned red. Maybe he didn't see two boys in the middle of the street. His car knocked down one boy and stopped just in front of the police box.

    People crowded around the boy at once. I rushed out of the gathering crowd(聚集的人群) and was going to look him over. But a man pushed me aside and said, “Step back, please. I^'ve had a course in first aid.”

    I had to stand and watch his ministrations(救助) for a few minutes. Then I said to him, “When you need a doctor, sir, I'm already here.”

    The Hunger Games is a book by an American author Suzanne Collins. It came out in 2008 and has sold millions of copies. You can buy it in 26 different languages.

    The story happens in the future, after the destruction（毁灭）of North America. There are twelve poor districts governed（统治）by the rich Capitol.

    The Capitol organizes the Hunger Games every year. One boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 in each of the twelve districts are chosen to fight. Only one person will live. The whole country must watch the games on television.

    The story is about Katniss Everdeen, a sixteen-year-old girl. Her younger sister, Prim, is chosen, but Katniss volunteers to go instead. She has to fight with a boy named Peeta.

    Where did the idea for The Hunger Games come from? One night in 2003, Suzanne Collins was watching TV. At that time, there was a war between the US and lraq. The only programs she could find on TV were "reality" programs and news about the war. Suzanne says that the two things started to mix together in her head and she had the idea for The Hunger Games.

    Some parents in the US have complained about the violence（暴力）in the book. But Suzanne says she is very worried about how much violence we see on TV nowadays. Suzanne is also worried about the amount of reality TV we watch." We put too much of our lives on TV, "she says." And we care less for people because of this." She says that writing about death and violence in the story was the hardest thing for her to do and she hopes it will make people think about what they watch in the future.

Recently, Huang Guoping's story has touched a large number of people in China. Born in a mountain village, Huang Guoping lived 1 poor life. It was usual for him to walk without shoes in summer and wear ragged (破旧的) clothes in winter.

When he went to school, his family couldn't 2 his schooling. What's worse, his mother left home when he was 12. He had to make money 3 raising baby pigs, catching eels (鳝鱼) at night and fishing on weekends. At that time, doing homework and reading books were 4 happiest part of the evening.

After going to high school, he got support from kind-hearted people, especially his teachers. However, his father died in a traffic accident when he was 17. And in the same year, his only remaining family 5 , his grandmother, passed away.

Huang Guoping didn't know 6 to give up. From the middle school in the mountains to Southwest University in Chongqing, and finally to University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, he could keep on 7 he followed his heart.

"I hope I can keep a(n) 8 heart after years of fighting than before. I hope I have the chance to discover the world again and live up to what I 9 through in my life. And I will feel it is worth if I can do something 10 someone else's life better," he said.

 When Mancina was young, he would skateboard during the winter seasons. At the beginning, he knew nothing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} skateboarding and couldn't play it so well. It wasn't until he moved to a different neighbourhood and met a group of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ( skate) that Mancina began to truly love skating. 

 However, at just thirteen years old, doctors told Mancina that he had an eye problem. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} just a year and a half, he lost vision in his left eye. Mancina stopped skateboarding. After a few years, he picked up the board again and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( film) a video of himself skateboarding with the help of a cane(杖). The video {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( share) online. It made Mancina decide to return to the sport although he is now {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( complete) blind. 

"Being a blind skater, I have to take my time to feel obstacles(障碍物) and have a good understanding of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ( it) before I start skating, " said Mancina. "I depend on my white cane the most. I use it to know my environment and to find obstacles while skating. "

Mancina hopes to perform at the Paralympics in 2028. His future plans include breaking his own record and building a skate park. Once it's built, he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( introduce) blind kids to the world of skating.
