After supper, Mr Jackson turned on the television. He tried to find a football game on it. At that time the telephone rang and he went to answer it. “Hello,” he said, “746-2135” “It's Betty speaking,” said a woman. “Henry is ill. And I have to take him to hospital. But Lucy is to young……” “Don't worry. I'll go and look after her. But where's your husband James?'' “He's gone to London. He'll be back at tomorrow morning.''

    Mrs Jackson was on duty in the hospital that night and Mr Jackson had to go to help his sister. Lucy was only four. She began to cry when her mother left. Mr Jackson told her some stories, taught her a song and showed her some nice pictures. He didn't stop until the little girl went to sleep. Mr Jackson went home after James came back. He was asleep soon after he went to bed. His wife came into the bedroom and it woke him up. He had a look at the clock on the wall and found it was half past eight. He jumped off the bed and ran to the garage(车库)with his bag. His wife tried to say something, but he called back, “l was never late for work, you know. But I'm late this morning.'' “No, you aren't,” said Mrs Jackson. “It's Saturday.''

Dear Editor，

    I'm a high school student. One day，on my way to school I found that along the river bank in Zhaowang River Park，the road was badly destroyed and some color bricks had disappeared，which would affect people's going out. ①Perhaps these bricks were carried away by some people nearby and kept by themselves. ②我对此事感到伤心。

    Since the public facilities are often destroyed like that，I suggest that our government should repair the road as soon as possible and take some measures to protect these public facilities. And as to us students，whenever we find someone destroying our public facilities，we should make efforts to stop him or her in time. Only in this way can we have a more beautiful and comfortable city to live in.

    Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. ⑴尽管他做得很好，但是拿不到第一名。

    After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got high marks.

   ⑵ 在他20岁的时候，他的身体出毛病了。 He started to knock into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease（运动神经元病）. ⑶The illness would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23.

    At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, ⑷I suddenly realized that there were a lot of valuable things I could do.” Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. ⑸He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody should lose hope, no matter how bad their situation is. “Life is not fair.” He once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”

    Teeth are important part of our body. Everyone should brush his or her teeth every day. Learning how to take care of teeth is very important.

    The importance of brushing teeth

    If you eat and do not brush your teeth, pieces of food that stick to your teeth can cause problems. The food can damage (破坏)your teeth. Then germs (细菌)can get into your teeth and make them decay (腐烂).

    It is important to brush teeth every day. You should get a checkup from your dentist every year. Trying not to eat food that has a lot of sugar, such as candy and soft drinks, helps to protect teeth.

    The proper ways of brushing teeth

    Do you know that most people do not brush their teeth in the right way? Follow the methods below and they will help you keep your teeth healthy, clean and beautiful.

    ◆Replace your toothbrush every few months.

    ◆Clean two or three teeth at a time. Brush the front of your teeth with a circular motion (运动)and clean the backs of your teeth with up and down motions.

    ◆Use a gentle back and forth motion to clean the tops of your teeth where you bite (咬)into food.

    ◆Don't forget to gently brush the top of your tongue (舌头)from back to front. A lot of germs live there.

    ◆Take at least 2 minutes to brush your teeth.
