Have you ever picked strawberries yourself? The sweet fruit looks nice, but light pressure can make them out shape, so you have to be very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (care) when picking them. Nowadays, there {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) many young people who are just like strawberries. They {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (easy) break down when they face difficulties. There is a name for them –strawberry kids.

 Why are many children so easy to break down? Many students are the only child in their family. Their parents do almost everything for  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}   (they) in their daily life. They hardly ever get criticized (被批评) at home and always feel good about themselves. If these students are criticized strictly by teachers, they {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   (feel) upset and begin to doubt their own abilities. Many schools care more about   {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (student) grades instead of developing their personality. As a result, students get satisfying grades {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  they are not mentally（精神上地）strong enough.

 Young people should learn how ot make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, “Whenever you are in trouble, don't ask for help too quickly. You should try {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  ( deal) with problems first by yourself. Take an active part{#blank#}9{#/blank#}  sports and social activities. That can help you become mentally strong.”

 Growing up is not just a happy process. Pains also go along.  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}   most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

    Most children like watching TV. It's very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  . By watching TV they can see and learn a lot and know many things about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} country and the world. Of course, they can also {#blank#}3{#/blank#} over the radio. But they can learn better and more {#blank#}4{#/blank#} on TV. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  ? Because they can hear and watch at the same time. But they can't see {#blank#}6{#/blank#} over the radio. TV helps to open children's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . It helps to open their minds, too. They learn newer and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  ways of doing things. Many children watch TV only on Saturday or Sunday evening. They are always busy  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their lessons. But a few children watch TV every night. They go to bed very {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. They can' t have a good rest. How about you, my young friend?

        Linda and Betty were both nineteen years old. In June, after a school year was over, they decided to take a vacation{#blank#}1{#/blank#} . They went to several towns and villages, visited some places of interest, saw and heard a lot of interesting things. They{#blank#}2{#/blank#}   very much.

One afternoon, they were going to stay overnight in a small town. It was too {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  to go further and they wished they could find a river and swim in the cool water. They were driving the car{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  while they were looking around. Suddenly Linda saw a lake not far away. They drove there fast and{#blank#}5{#/blank#} by the lake. They looked around and found a woman sitting on a stone and fishing there. After they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and were going to jump into the water, the woman came up to them and shouted, "Sorry, madams. Swimming  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  in the lake!"
"Why didn't you tell us about it{#blank#}8{#/blank#}   we took off our clothes?" Betty said angrily.    "But it isn't forbidden to take off clothes by the lake," said the woman.

    One afternoon，I went into an art museum while waiting for my husband．I hoped to enjoy the works of art quietly．

    A young couple walked in front of me and talked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the paintings between themselves all the time．The lady did almost all the talking，but the man kept listening to her．I thought the man was very patient {#blank#}2{#/blank#}nobody would like to be bothered （打扰） while enjoying the paintings．

    I met them several {#blank#}3{#/blank#}as I moved through the different rooms of the art museum．Each time I heard her talking，I moved {#blank#}4{#/blank#}quickly．

    I was {#blank#}5{#/blank#}for some gifts at the museum shop when the couple walked slowly to the exit （出口）．Before they left，the man {#blank#}6{#/blank#}out a cane （拐杖）．Then he tapped （轻敲） his way to the coatroom to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the jacket for his wife．

    "He is a brave man，"the worker of the shop said．"He decided not to change his life after his eyes got hurt．Though he is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}now，he never gives up．He and his wife come here whenever there is a new art show．"

    "But what can he get out of the art？He can't see!"I asked．

    "You are wrong．He {#blank#}9{#/blank#}a lot，more than you and I do．"The worker said，"His wife describes {#blank#}10{#/blank#}painting so he can see it in his mind．"

    I fell silent．Then I realized that I learnt something about patience，courage and love that day．
