Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He 1 that Inez was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language, and he decided to teach 2 students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.
    First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to3 . Other letters, such as C ,were easier because the shape of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.
    The 4 thing they learned was finer spelling. They signed one letter after another to spell a word. They5with two-letter words such as at and on . Then they spelled 6words.
    Finally, Mr. Klein showed that 7 one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand, 8 the thumb(拇指) to the chest(前胸) , and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just done with the hands. Expressions on the face are also9  . The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.
When Inez first entered the classroom. She looked  10 . But the students signed, “Good morning, Inez. ” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful welcome !”

    I'll tell you1about my English teacher, Mrs. Wang. She is a middle-aged woman. She is not tall and not short , and she is also not2and not thin . She3long black hair. She likes4a red dress. She is very beautiful. She5very good English . She has three classes a week , but they aren't6Tuesday or Friday. All the students in her class love her very much.

    Mrs. Wang lives not7the school. She walks to school with her son and her daughter early every morning. Her two children are8.They look the same. They are in Grade Two, but they are not in9class . They often wear the same clothes. They look very10.

    Most people like to make some new year's plans at the beginning of the year. Jack is a student of a middle school in Longwan, Wenzhou. He usually makes his new year's 1 on January 1st .He wants to have a(an) 2 start. This year he wants to keep 3,because he is too heavy and he likes 4lots of fast food . So he is going to 5 and eat healthy food . He likes football and he is good at it , he is going to join the school 6 team . He wants to be captain of the football team . He also wants to be able to speak English well, so he is going to  7 English aloud every morning, and he is going to listen to English music after school every day. He says he is going to be an English teacher 8  10 years.

    9are your new year's plans? Are you going to look after yourself well? Are you going to do something for 10 parents? Are you going to make more friends? Work hard for it every day and I'm sure your dream will come true one day.

    When I was eight years old, my mother told me to put my coat on because we were going to go somewhere1. Usually, that meant we were going to see someone important. I would at least get a new toy. I asked which one it would be that day, and she told me that I would get something 2than a toy. She said I would get "access（通道）to a world of toys." I had no real idea what she meant. Did that mean we were buying a toy 3?

    But we did not end up at any toy store. Neither did we finally see anyone we knew.

    4, mother pulled her car into a parking lot in front of a building that looked like something out of the past. It didn't have a modern5at all.

    We took stone steps up to the entrance. Only then I found out what this place was, because there was a sign that 6"Marcy Public Library". We pushed the door open, and my mother led me to the front desk. "I'd like to get my daughter a library card", she told the man7the desk. He asked her to fill out a form. "What kind of books do you like to read?" he asked. I was too shy to 8. I only smiled. "Well, you'll find it out in time," he said. I do not remember9I picked out that day, but I know that in the years that followed I read through books on history, books of poetry, and books about art. The library opened up a world that I 10knew that day.

    So my mother was right. Getting a library card was like getting the access to a world of toys.

    When I woke up, I was surprised to discover that I was in in my own room. Somebody had put me there when I was 1. The same had happened to Ned and Conseil. Capital Nemo did not 2 until about two o'clock. When he came out in front of us, he didn't explain anything.

    "Are you a doctor?" he asked me. 3 had studied medicine in Paris. When I told him that, he asked me to help one of his men. I followed him to another 4.

    "He is going to die soon," I said. "5 can save him." Tears filled Capital Nemo's eyes, and he asked me to leave the room first.

The next day, he 6 me to go with him for another walk under the water. I agreed, and my 7friends decided to come, too. We went out and found that we were not on sand but on coral(珊瑚).We used our lights to go 8into the ocean. Some of the crew had come with us. Four of them 9 the coffin(棺材) of the man who had died. We walked for two hours and stopped 10 we reached 300 meters. This is where coral begins to 11. Some of the crew had brought tools with them, and they dug a hole in the coral. They placed the coffin in it. Then, they 12 the coffin with rocks. I could see that there had been other burials(埋葬) here 13. We returned to the Nautilus. "Your 14friend is safe from sharks," I said to Capital Nemo. "And from men!" he added 15.

    I began to think that Nemo was not just keeping away from humans in his Nautilus. He was planning revenge(复仇).

    Twenty-five-year-old South African DJ Mandla Maseko has been chosen as one of 23 people who will get to go to space! Maseko, a 1 African, can't wait to become the first black South African to go to 2!

    He and 22 others were some of over one million who 3 the Lynx Apollo Space Academy competition to win a ticket to space. When he was 4 why he wanted to go to space, Maseko's answer was 5, "want to fight against the rules of gravity(引力)."

    He will start to do so on a Lynx mark II space ship in 2015, not only fighting against gravity but also realising his childhood 6 of becoming an astronaut when he grew up.

    "We blacks also 7 with dreams. You dreamed of being a policeman or a teacher but you know you won't get as far as a pilot or an astronaut. Then I went to the space camp and I told 8 that I could be an astronaut," said Maseko.

    During the first week of December, Maseko, two other South Africans, 9 more than 100 international contestants(选手) went to the space camp in Orlando, Florida to test if they are 10 enough to go to space.

    Maseko knows there is a long way to go before he finally goes into space. "I'll be the first black South African and the first black African to go into space. When I think of the firsts, the first black presidents—Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, I tell myself to try my best."
