Today, I am very happy to have a meeting with you. At the meeting we will talk about the 1 we have these days. We all know the problems of 2 and the objects falling from windows are getting worse. We have received lots of letters about such problems. So   3 is time for possible ways to work out these problems.

    Some dog owners don't take care of their dogs well enough, and they let their dogs make mess on the roads and in gardens. This makes the environment 4. I would like to tell the dog owners that their behavior is too b ad, and at the same time they are making people 5 unhappy. We should keep the environment 6.

    It is reported that some people 7 rubbish out of the windows. It is dangerous because falling objects 8 hurt others. It is against the law. We should put up a notice to teach people not to do so. If it is found, we will record the names and address of those people who throw objects. Then, a warning will be given and 9 will be punished by law.

    A safe and comfortable living environment is important to us. 10 we try our best to care for our community, it will be a good place to live in. Thank you for your coming.

    Some students from Thailand write an article on the website(网页). They ask us to save the elephants in Thailand. They tell us that the elephant is one of Thailand's symbols. Their first flag had a white elephant on it. This is a symbol of good 1.

    Elephants are 2 animals. They can play soccer or music. They can also draw very 3. People say that “ An elephant never forgets.” Elephants can walk for a long time and 4 get lost. They can also remember places 5 food and water. This helps 6 to live.

    But elephants are in great danger. Elephants are losing their homes 7 people cut down many trees. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Today there 8 only about 3,000 elephants (over 100,000 before). We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory. Don't forget that Thai Elephant Day is 9 March 13^th . Let's work together and 10 the elephants!

The first astronauts

    Since the earliest times, people have looked up at the stars, the moon and the planets. Today people use modern machines 1at the sky. This is very different from the situation2years ago when people could only use their eyes. Perhaps they dreamed of3the universe.

    When did humans first go into space? The story began not so very long ago, 4the first astronauts were not people-they were animals.

Scientists wanted to make travelling to space as 5 as possible for humans. So they decided to experiment with animals and test6 in spaceflights. Insects, mice, frogs, dogs and monkeys were some of the animals7first went into space. Many of them 8, but they helped to make space travel safer for humans. For their great service, we 9forget these animals.

    Albert Ⅱ was the first monkey to go into space in 1949. Sadly he died 10 his spaceship landed back on Earth.

    11 the result was different for Ham the Monkey. His story ended happily when he return to earth12very good health.

Scientists wanted to know the answer to the important question: could 13 animal like Ham do the same things in space as he could do on Earth? The answer came when Ham 14 into space in 1961. Yes, he did everything well and lived for 15 16 years

    At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made a interesting discovery(发现). We are bulk not just of flesh (肉)and blood but also of time. They were1to show that we all have a body clock inside us, which controls the2and fall of our body energies. It can 3us different from one day to the next.

    The idea of a body clock should not be too4because the lives of most living things are controlled by the 24-hour-night-and-day cycle. We feel 5 and fall asleep at night and become 6 and energetic during the day. Most people will have a bad feeling 24-hour cycle is 7. For example, people who are not used to working at night can find that luck  (缺少)of sleep causes them to 8 badly at work.

    Besides (除了) the daily cycle of sleeping and waking, we 9 have other cycle which lasts longer than one day. Most of us would 10 that we feel good on some days and not so good on others. Sometimes our ideas seem to be so active, and at other times they are not.

    Are you good with money? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to make money? Read on to find out about British teenagers and their money!

    Pocket money

    Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do some housework to get pocket money, including cleaning, cooking, washing dishes and so on.

    Part-time work

    A part-time job is a choice for teenagers who don't have pocket money or who want to get extra money. About 15% teenagers have a job. Only children over the age of 13 can work. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering (递送) newspapers, restaurant work and shop work. Children in Britain can work two hours a day at the most on a school day but not during school hours. During weekends and school holidays, they can work longer hours.

    Bank accounts (账户)

    Some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to open an account for a child or a young person. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child's bank account. Most banks have a prepaid bank card designed for young people.

    Mobile apps

    Many companies have made mobile apps for children, including GoHenry, Osper and Gimi. Parents can add money to their children's accounts and check to see how the money is spent. Children can choose to save their money or spend it using a card. The apps suggest that kids from 8 to 13 can use the cards.

    So, many teenagers are getting experience working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent (经济独立的) person and making and looking after your own money.
