Are you able to send a letter with pictures and sounds to someone anywhere in the world without{#blank#}1{#/blank#} a stamp on it?  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  e-mails you can just do that. Using a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}   you can send e-mails quickly and easily. The post is much {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  than an e-mail. An e-mail can send its message to the other side of the world in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  .
    An e-mail is easy to use and it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  time and money. The differences in time in different parts of the world do not matter {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  sending e-mails. It is twenty-four service that you can send e-mails at any time of the day time or night. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  one has to be there to receive e-mails. It doesn't matter if your friends {#blank#}9{#/blank#}   in bed when you send e-mails to them, or you are {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  a movie at the cinema when they send e-mails back.

    I still remember that day. It was Friday. I had the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}but I didn't go to the doctor. I went to school as usual. It was quiet in the classroom. All of us were busy{#blank#}2{#/blank#}for a test. We didn't see our English teacher Mr. Smith come into the classroom {#blank#}3{#/blank#}he started to talk.

    "Who can describe what stress (压力) is like?" No one tried to {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to his question. Mr. Smith looked a little {#blank#}5{#/blank#}But he still {#blank#}6{#/blank#}our answers. Five minutes later, Mr. Smith still didn't get an answer. Mr. Smith looked not only sad but also {#blank#}7{#/blank#}He raised (举起) a book and asked, "How heavy is this book?" He {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Jason to answer the question. Jason said, "I think it is 100g." Another student said, "It is 200g." At last, Mr. Smith said, " It's real weight (重量) is not important. The important thing is how long you hold. If you hold it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}putting it down, sooner or later (迟早), you will not be able to hold it up. This book is like stress. If you have stress, stop and take a break. Don't {#blank#}10{#/blank#}my advice(建议), boys and girls! You should learn to take time to relax. If you do, I am sure you will enjoy your school life." I'll never forget Mr. Smith and that meaningful lesson.

    Have you ever dreamed of flying to school like Harry Potter? Of course, you're {#blank#}1{#/blank#} not a magician. But Speeder could make your dreams {#blank#}2{#/blank#} true. Speeder is a flying motorcycle. A US company made {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The company calls it the world's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} flying motorcycle.

    Speeder can take off {#blank#}5{#/blank#} land anywhere. It flies at 240 km per hour at a height of 4, 500 {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the sky. To reach that speed, Speeder mainly uses diesel fuel (柴油) to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. The company will do more research on {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to use clean energy to power Speeder in the future. Speeder riders must weigh {#blank#}9{#/blank#} than 109 kg. If a rider is too heavy, it will be hard {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the motorcycle to take off.

Lei Feng Spirit Carrying on

    "It is not hard to do one good deed, but it is hard to do good deeds all your life." Chairman Mao {#blank#}1{#/blank#}said. And he called on people to learn from him. Do you know who the man is? He is Lei Feng.

    Lei Feng was born in a poor family in a little mountain village of Hunan Province, on December 18th, 1940. He didn't go to school{#blank#}2{#/blank#}he was 10 years old. At the age of 18, he became a steel{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. He was often praised for his good job. On January 8th, 1960, he joined the army and several months later, he joined the Communist Party. He loved the Party and the people, and kept doing something good for others. When he got{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, he always said, "It's my duty and it's just that some people need some help, there should be someone standing out{#blank#}5{#/blank#}them a hand." He became a model soldier one year later.  To our sadness, Lei Feng died in an accident in 1962.

    March 5th{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a "Learn from Lei Feng Day" since 1963. When Lei Feng's Diary came out, People began to know more about him than before. Now the term "Living LeiFeng" has become a name for anyone who is brave, anyone who has{#blank#}7{#/blank#}love for his country, anyone who works hard,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}anyone who is always ready to help others…

    Lei Feng's spirit will live in{#blank#}9{#/blank#}hearts. Lei Feng's spirit will be remembered by the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}nation forever. And we will surely practice his spirit in life as he did.

    I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But {#blank#}1{#/blank#} when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} myself.

    Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.

    In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.

    My head {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in shame. He must think I was crazy. Maybe I could turn towards him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book!" But I didn't, say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was OK if he thought I was crazy. I preferred to be crazy instead of being the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let {#blank#}6{#/blank#} feel anything at all.

    I've been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn't think f was crazy. But now I don't want to be that girl any more —that bored and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} girl. I'd rather {#blank#}8{#/blank#} this girl who is able to forgive (原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.
