Camping is one of the most interesting outdoor activities. Last weekend, I 1a camping trip to a hill with my teachers and classmates. We all 2 ourselves very much. Each of us brought 3 for the camping. Liu Tao had a box of chocolates and David had some 4. What did Nancy have? She had some fruits, too. Helen had a tin of fish and a tin of chicken. Mr Green and Miss Li had two big tents, the blankets and the cooking tools (工具).

    When we 5 to the camping place, it was almost 11 a. m. Our teachers tried to put up the tents first. And we 6 went to look for wood. Then we made a fire to cook food. We didn't have much choice (选择) on food, but we all thought it7. After lunch, we took a rest. And then in the afternoon, we caught butterflies, looked for rare(稀有) plants in the woods and went boating in a river 8 the hill. In the evening, we held a party, singing and dancing around the campfire.

    At about 11 p. m., we went into the tents and slept soon because we were 9 at that time.10 it didn't rain that night. The trip is really a wonderful experience!

    A boy was walking in the street 1 a man came over 2 him and 3 him the way4 the station.

    The boy was very naughty（顽皮的）. He wanted 5 play a joke on the man. He pointed to6side of the road and said, “Go down the street until you reach a shop. You can find it on your left.” The man thanked him and went away.

    A few minutes 7, the man came back. He said to boy that there was only a bookshop there and he 8 find the station.

    The boy 9 and said, “10a map in the bookshop, and you'll find the way!”

    Mr. Jackson was our science teacher. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called wampus. He told us that the wampus lived on earth millions of years ago during the Ice Age and died out because of the change of climate(气候). We all listened carefully and took 1 of everything he said. Later we had a 2.

    When the exam paper was 3to me, I was surprised and sad, there was a big red "×" through each of my answers, I failed. But how come? 4, on the test paper, I had written down 5 Mr. . Jackson said in class.

    Then I realized that no one 6 the exam at all. What had happened?

    "Very simple," Mr. Jackson explained. "I had 7 all that story about the wampus. There had never been any such animal, so the information in your notes was not correct. Do you expect to get 8 marks for incorrect answers？"

    There was no need to say we were 9. What kind of test was this? What kind of teacher was he?

    How could we believe he gave us so much information about an animal that had not been there at all? How was it possible 10 us students to doubt what the teacher taught us?

    "The zeroes on your papers will be 11 in your grade books," he said. And he did it.

Through this experience, Mr. Jackson hoped that we would learn something. Teachers and books are not always 12. In fact, no one is. He told us not to let our mind go to sleep. Instead, we should keep thinking all the time and speak up if we think there are13in our teachers' words or in books.

    We should 14 the habit of doubting, and the ability to decide by ourselves. What a special 15 he gave us.

    Many people like to collect things. For example, they like1stamps, books, pictures and so on. But my friend Mr. Green likes to collect clocks. He 2 five hundred clocks. The clocks are3in his house. You can see shelves in4room. All the shelves are5of clocks. Mr. Green is glad to do this,6 his wife doesn't enjoy it at all. She has a lot of7to do every day. It's not 8for her to clean hundreds of clocks. She is also angry at the noise. Each clock keeps its own time, so she can hear the clocks strike almost9time day and night. She says, “There is something even worse. I really don't know what10it is with so many clocks in my house.”

    Thank you very much. Thank you!

    Thank you for Principal Xu, all the teachers and most importantly, the class of 2019. If I can't make my speech fantastic, I will at least try to make it short.

    It's been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy. You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief. In fact, it all began from the half a1basic training, which I will never forget, The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without 2 and long painful runs in the soft sand, I always felt cold, wet, sleepy and painful.

    The training also needed to find those who could3in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I'd like to talk about one little thing, which I think is one of the most important points leading to great4.

    Every morning in the training, my instructors(教官) would5in our rooms. The first thing they did was to6our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.

    It was a(n) 7task. But every morning we were required to make our beds8. It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.

    If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the9task of the day. It will bring you a small sense of success, and it will10you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have11into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can't do the little things right, you will12be able to do the big things right.

    13the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn't matter whether I ever14 a day in uniform. Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made-that you made-and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

    In general, if you want to change the world, 15off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future! 

Mr. Dawson was an old man with a bad temper. Kids were afraid to go into his yard to pick apples. 

One day, 12-year-old Janet and her friend Amy had to walk past Mr. Dawson's house. When Janet saw him, she suggested crossing the street to the other side. But Amy said they needn't. 

When Mr. Dawson saw Amy, he smiled and said, "Hello, Amy! I see you have a new friend with you today." Amy smiled back. Mr. Dawson looked friendly and gave them each a fresh apple. 

Later Janet asked Amy, "Everyone says he is the most unwelcome person in town. Why was he so kind to us?" Amy explained that when she first walked past his house, she was also afraid of him. But she imagined there was an invisible smile on his face and then started talking to him. Beginning with a "hello" at first, and then speaking more each time. 

"An invisible smile?" Janet was puzzled. "Yes," answered Amy, "My grandma told me to think so. She says smiles can spread. If we keep smiling at someone, sooner or later they will smile back."

Remember what Amy's grandma said, and we will find that most people can't refuse our smile.
