I'm sitting outside grandpa's pigeon loft（鸽子房）and waiting for Goldie to come home. I'm really nervous about it because I{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (ask) to do an important job.

  Goldie is grandpa's champion（冠军）racing pigeon. She's famous because she {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (win)lots of cups. This morning she had a race-flew two hundred miles away with lots of other pigeons. And now she {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (race) back home.

 ¨Come on, Goldie. Come on. Goldie!" That's me, calling Goldie back home. But I can't see her yet.

   I really want Goldie to win this race.1 want to give grandpa the good news when I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) him tonight in hospital. My eyes search the blue sky. Still no sign of Goldie.

 “Calm（镇静）down,  Danny!” I tell myself.

   But it's hard to be calm. This job is very important. I'll tell you why.

   Before the race, they {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (put)a ring on every pigeon's leg. When Goldie comes back, I've got to catch her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (take)her ring off, as fast as I can, and put it in a little metal tube(管子）,then put that tube in grandpa's special clock. That records the time that Goldie finished the race. It should be grandpa's job. But while he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (prepare) for the race, he fell ill suddenly and was sent to the hospital.

  So that's why I'm nervous, waiting for Goldie. I'm getting more nervous every minute, because Goldie {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be)here by now. But the sky is blue and empty.

“{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (not worry)”I tell myself. “Goldie always comes back. ”But where is she? What I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (tell)grandpa?

   1 wait until it's nearly dark.1 give up！ Then l lock the other pigeons in the loft.  I've got to see grandpa tonight at the hospital.

      I'd love to chat with someone who is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (young) than 18 and older than 13. I'm very open and I'm looking for a friendship.

    Well, anyway, I can't wait to hear from you!

    When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} what clothes to wear?

    If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you're {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    Brave New Girls, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} by an American author Jeanette Gadeberg, will help you make such choices. To make them, it says, you must be a brave new girl. A brave new girl is the one who's confident, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and happy. A brave new girl can realize her dream.

    To be brave, you need to make decisions by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You should only do what you want.

    If you always wear clothes {#blank#}6{#/blank#} your favorite TV star, for example, you should stop {#blank#}7{#/blank#} so. Instead, you should become your own star and wear the clothes you like.

    The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you're confident, you'll {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} as boys. You just look at their grades!

    Today's brave new girls will become tomorrow's brave new women. Only in this way can you achieve your dreams and become who you want to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    A young rich man was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit fast in his new sports car. There were many kids p{#blank#}1{#/blank#}among the cars.

    As his car passed, one child appeared, and s{#blank#}2{#/blank#}a brick hit the car's side door. The young man stopped the car and jumped out. He {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the kid and pushed him up against another car, s{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, “What is wrong with you? That's a new car. What you did just now will c{#blank#}5{#/blank#}me a lot of money. Why did you do it?”

    “Please, sir, please, I'm sorry. I didn't know w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} else to do! It's my brother,” he said.  

    “He fell out of his wheelchair. I can't lift him up.” Almost crying, the boy asked the man, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's h{#blank#}7{#/blank#}and he's too heavy for me.”

    The young man was deeply touched and had tears in his e{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. He lifted the kid's brother back into the wheelchair.

    The man then watched the little boy p{#blank#}9{#/blank#}his brother toward their home.

    It was a long walk back to his car ... a long, slow walk. He never repaired the side door. He kept it that way as a reminder. Don't go t{#blank#}10{#/blank#}life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention. Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!

    "It may be cool to ride a bike on the road. The gentle wind can make you feel comfortable and happy but it is also i{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (importance) to wear a helmet (头盔) for safety, "Sanders,a swimming champion said o{#blank#}2{#/blank#} October 4, 2012. Sanders was there to start the activity c{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) "Helmets on Heads"by teaching students about helmet {#blank#}4{#/blank#}['seɪfti].

    Sanders has two kids. They ride b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} every day. It's what they love to do. Sanders has always told them they can't ride their bikes without helmets even if they are going next door. It's most effective (有效的) to get your kids to listen when you take {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (act) yourself and do w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} you want them to do, " she said. That's why she started the activity.

    To make more kids know the importance of helmet safety, Sanders is going around the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} [kʌntr]. She has several stops. New York is the first. The big thing is just through word of mouth, making biking safety a fun activity. It's said that about 80% of the school s {#blank#}9{#/blank#} don't wear their helmets. It's a big problem. So the Helmets on Heads activity is very n {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ['neslsərl].

    "I love bike riding. I feel like a king again when I do that. Whenever I ride with my kids, I enjoy that look in their eyes. It's something we can all do together," said Sanders.
