Ever since I was a young girl, my favourite kind of music has been blues ( 布鲁斯音乐 ). The {#blank#}1{#/blank#}CD I bought was Chuck Berry's Greatest Hits when I was 11 years old. I really {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it and I would singalong and dance around my bedroom to the music. Even now, whenever I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}one of Chuck Berry's songs ,I can't help but(无法不……) sing along to the music.

    As I got older, I started to listen to other {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . I would listen to Elvis Presley almost every day after school. I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}loved music that made me want to dance. I started to love soul music(灵乐) too after a friend bought me a Motown Classics CD {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my 15th birthday. My favourite hobby was listening to Aretha Franklin or Katrina and the Waves. I looked up to ( 尊敬) a lot of these {#blank#}7{#/blank#} artists and performers(表演者) and still do that to this day. As quite a(n) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} person, hearing these people perform with such Confidence and such talent was inspirational(鼓舞人心的) to me.

    I find that if I have had a hard day {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I'm feeling a little low , listening to something upbeat( 积极向上的) can cheer me up. In fact, scientists have {#blank#}10{#/blank#}that people can make themselves feel good by listening to upbeat songs!

    How do you turn your interest into a business? Mohammed Ali, 15, a teen gamer from the UK, is a good example.

    At the age of 12,helearnedhowtocode(编程) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} using YouTube and even made his own video game. Users have to pay 5.99 pounds per month to play the game. He has already made 30,000 pounds. He also makes websites, which will be {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the public in August. Ali has saved lots of money for his future university costs and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} bought two sofas for his family's living room.

    "When I first started {#blank#}4{#/blank#} money. I thought I'd just spend it all. Then I thought. Why should I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it all? I can save most of it in the bank, because I want to do more in the future," he said.

    He became interested in computers when his parents bought him {#blank#}6{#/blank#}at the age of 6. He often played video games on his computer. But {#blank#}7{#/blank#}? he played so many games, he decided to make his own. In 2012, he made his own game called Project 2006 after working on it for seven {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. It was a role-playing game and more than 3,000 people were members. After {#blank#}9{#/blank#} game became popular, he started a website-making business.

    In the future, he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to go to university and study computer science. He plans to study computer science, not business because he thinks he has got a lot of experience in business already.

    Long, long ago there lived an old man. He had a very big orange tree in his garden. On the tree there were many fine{#blank#}1{#/blank#} .

    One day the old man found one of the oranges was bigger than the others. It was as big as a watermelon. So he took the biggest orange to the king. The king was very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and gave the old man a lot of money for it.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a rich man heard of this, he said to himself, "It is only an orange. Why did the king give him so much money? If I take my gold cup to the king, he will give me much more money for it. "

The next day when the king got the gold cup, he said to the rich man, "What a beautiful cup! l'll give you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for it. Please take the great orange. "

    Parents, especially those of teenagers, care about their children's education more than anything else. They would do    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for their children. Many of them spend most of their spare time {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their children with their studies. If they have no time or cannot do it themselves, they would hire family teachers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} send their children to after-class schools. It seems as if a better education is all that parents expect for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    How can we explain the present situation? First of all, many parents have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} that future success depends more and more {#blank#}6{#/blank#} skills and education. Secondly, in a competitive(竞争的) society there are both losers and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Those who have better skills and more knowledge will enjoy {#blank#}8{#/blank#} opportunities(机会).

    Certainly, it is important to learn to succeed, but the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} thing to learn is how to survive(生存) and how to be a qualified citizen(合格的公民). {#blank#}10{#/blank#} this is included a good education, the children will surely have a bright future and he healthy in body and mind.
