Here is our pet dog，Mr. Hawkeye. Mr. Hawkeye is seven years old，and we got him from our vet (兽医). He takes in a lot of cats. He receives his name because he is such a hawk (掠夺者) around food. If you are not looking，he will take a sandwich off your plate. He can smell the delicious food in the fridge from another floor in the house，and potato chips are his favourite thing to steal! This comes the name，Hawkeye. Hawkeye was a great animal at the vet. They thought he could bring good luck and he took care of all the new cats，giving them baths，etc. He does that at our house as well. Like I said，he is quite a character and very friendly. He always greets(问候) us when we come home. He has to check out all the bags to make sure if there's food there for him, especially chips!

    Boyan Slat has one huge goal. It's a goal that could be good for people and a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} all over the world. Amazingly, it looks like he's going to m {#blank#}2{#/blank#}his goal.

    When he was 16  Dutch engineering student Slat was on vacation in Greece, and he started to think about all the rubbish that is p{#blank#}3{#/blank#} onto beaches by water. The oceans around the world are all of plastic—millions of tons of plastic. Unfortunately, plastic doesn't just disappear. It takes c{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to break down (分解).

    The p{#blank#}5{#/blank#} situation of the oceans is bad and worrying and Slat wanted to do something to change it. So he made it a personal goal to clean up the rubbish in the world's oceans.

    Slat started with an idea for an unusual m{#blank#}6{#/blank#} to "catch" the plastic floating (漂浮) in the water using the natural energy of the ocean. He left school in 2013 to begin work on his project The Ocean Cleanup. Soon, the project r{#blank#}7{#/blank#} a lot of attention.

    A year later, he was leading a team of 100 scientists and engineers working on the invention. Slat needed money for this, so he started asking people to d{#blank#}8{#/blank#} to his project online and raised over $ 2 million!

    Soon after, Slat was named a "Champion of the Earth" by the United Nations for his meaningful and v{#blank#}9{#/blank#} work. It's the most important title the UN gives to people helping the environment. The Ocean Cleanup also won several awards (奖项) for having one of the best inventions of 2015. But the d{#blank#}10{#/blank#} goes on for Slat. He hopes that the oceans will be free of plastic in about twenty or thirty years.

Every school has its own rules.The rules change from one school to another.There are also some rules that look strange or funny to us.Here are some funny school rules.

Japan：Most schools demand（要求） that students wear uniforms，such as sports suits or skirts.They also demand that girls' white socks should be folded（折叠）（某种） way and boys' heads should be shared（剃）.

The US：At some US schools，students must have a pair of indoor shoes to change into every day.Chewing gum（口香糖） is not allowed（允许），because it is difficult to clean up.

Britain：Strange hairstyles（奇怪的发型）are not allowed at some British schools.But they might（可能）allow students to wear certain hairstyles during the World Cup.

In a peaceful mountain village, a father named Edward and his beloved son Bob lived in a small farmhouse.

Edward was a hard-working 1 who worked on his land every day. Bob was a lively and innocent (纯真的) boy, and he always followed his father around. The son could often learn something 2 about life from his father.

One sunny morning, Edward took Bob to the yard. He 3 to several huge stones lying on the ground, and said with a smile, "Son, 4 these stones, they are in the way now. What can we do?"

"Can we move them 5 ?" Bob thought for a while and asked.

"Good idea! Maybe you can do it!" nodded the father.

Bob's eyes lit up with excitement, and he rushed over to 6 pushing one of the large stones. However, no matter how hard he tried, the stone 7 there.

Bob, feeling a little sad, said, "Dad, I tried to move it just now, but it didn't move 8 . I have tried my best. I have given it my all. I've used up all my 9 ." Edward smiled softly and replied, "No, son, you haven't used up all your strength. You haven't 10 for help."

With these words, Edward bent down, lifted a heavy stone and began moving 11 . He tried hard and finally moved it to one side of the road. Bob 12 his father in amazement when his father proved his words with his action.

13 Edward moved the stone, he turned to Bob and said, "Facing challenges with a determined (坚毅的) spirit is important. 14 , your own strength is limited. When a task is beyond your ability, you can choose to 15 strength from those around you."

From then on, he learned to ask for help and cooperate (合作) with others, understanding the importance of teamwork.

There is a famous house in a village. In the house, there are 1000 mirrors(镜子). A happy little dog knows about this place and 1 there. When he gets there, he runs 2 to the door. He 3 the house with a big smile. Then he sees 1000 happy little 4 smiling. When he leaves the house, he thinks," This is a 5 place. I will come back."

In the same village, there is another little dog. He is always unhappy. After he hears about the house, he decides to 6 the house. He goes into the house slowly. He puts his head down when he looks at the 7 . He sees 1000 unfriendly dogs looking at him. He 8 at them and sees 1000 dogs shouting back at him. When he leaves the house, he feels 9 and thinks," This is a bad place. I will 10 go back here again."

Life is like a mirror. When you smile at it, it will smile back at you.

①Bad things happen to many of us. Something makes you sad, angry, frustrated or disappointed. But you still have to get up and go to work. Everything others say to you sounds stupid. Everyone seems to annoy you from time to time. Luckily, you can do something about it. Here are some ways to turn around a bad day. 

②Accepting that you're in a bad mood is not that hard. If you're mad, be mad. If you are sad, be sad. This does not give you license to be rude and unpleasant to others. It just means that you need to recognize and accept your bad mood to be able to do something. 

③You can try to keep your bad mood a secret and put on your happy mask. But guess what! You're fooling nobody around you but yourself. The best thing to do is to tell the people you work closely with what is happening to you. Just simply tell them "Listen, I'm in a really bad mood today. I'm not sure why, but it has nothing to do with you. If I____bite your head off, I say sorry in advance. "

④Spend a few moments trying thinking of at least one or two things that aren't all bad: Something

that you look forward to, such as a person you like at work or something nice that happened recently. 

⑤Take some quiet time. Have a walk in your lunch break. Sit and work somewhere peaceful alone. Take a relaxing long bathroom break. Consider going home early or taking the day off.
