When I was a little girl, one of my favorite things was a shoebox. I filled it up with pieces of paper, envelopes and posters that I had collected. I called the box my "Post Office". 1 I was free, I would take it out and pour my "letters" on the floor. I grouped the "letters" and then put them back into the box. 

This led me to 2 a new hobby — writing letters to children I had never met. It was 3 to send my written pages to people far away. And I loved this feeling. My best penfriends were Svetlana in Belarus and Alastair in central England. 

I first 4 spoke out my dream of being a songwriter to Alastair. Actually, I had never written a single song and I had no idea how to do so. But I decided to realize this dream— well, I should never let my best friends 5 . I started to discover my favorite 6 and thought about how I should write a song. 

As I grew older, I had more people to write to, for example, kids I had met on school trips. The freedom I found to 7 myself in letters is one of my greatest memories of childhood. 

On my journey into adulthood, my love for writing letters never left me. As I now create music, I always remember my childhood 8 . Releasing（发行） new songs is similar to sending out handwritten letters. My "Post Office" is where I got started.

People all over the world celebrate the new year. On New Year's Day, many children make wishes for the new year. The following are some children talking about their wishes. 

I'm Xu Hui, 13, from Shanghai. I am an outgoing girl. I really hope that I can make friends with some boys in my class. I have many friends, but they are all girls. Also, I am not good at math. I want to improve it. 

My name is Zhao Yujie, a 14-year-old girl, from Jiangsu. My biggest wish is to volunteer more. I want to help homeless children and old people. I think it's important for us to bring laughter and warmth to others. 

I am Li Langjing, from Fujian. I am 14. I am a boy who likes sports. I want to take more trips with my friends. Especially, I hope I can go to Xinjiang and Taiwan. I really want to climb the beautiful Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang and taste delicious snacks in Taiwan. 

I'm a 15-year-old boy, Ma Yue. I come from Beijing. My new year's wish is to get a ticket to a Scorpions (蝎子乐队) concert. They are a German rock band. I love their metal music. They will have a concert in February. I don't want to miss it. 

Maddie Clybum used to be self﹣abased（自卑的）because she was born with an ear that never developed. Other kids used to laugh at this lovely six﹣year﹣old girl. What was worse， {#blank#}1{#/blank#}hearing was getting weaker and weaker because of these situations. But now everything has{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. 

Dr. Chery Lewin，a famous doctor in a hospital in Los Angeles，the US{#blank#}3{#/blank#}，which is in fact a 3 D product. 

Nothing was easy for the doctor. The first {#blank#}4{#/blank#}was to scan（扫描） Maddie's good ear. 

Then，she developed a man﹣made ear using 3 D technology that looked quite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. 

It was the first time that Maddie saw her new ear. "I have something really helpful {#blank#}6{#/blank#}you. This is your new big ear. "The doctor explained to her how she had got her new ear，surprising the girl a lot. 

Her mom Erin could hardly wait. "People used to ask uncomfortable {#blank#}7{#/blank#}and my daughter has been silent for years. They used to make fun of her {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. "

Now everything has changed and she has never been so {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. 

On the day of her operation（手术）. Maddie was excited and worried. After a nine﹣hour her amazing 3 D ear came out. Her mom cried with tears （眼泪） {#blank#}10{#/blank#}she saw a photo of her daughter's new ear. 

Whoever Maddie meets now，she is used to saying "I {#blank#}11{#/blank#}my new ear. "
