A'Layah Robinson lives in Oklahoma, USA. She is only seven years old, but already she has big ideas for helping other kids!

    One Saturday morning when A'Layah was five, she noticed some teenagers who had a lemonade stand(柠檬饮料摊位). They wanted to raise money to help some of their friends. A'Layah wanted very much to help kids too, especially foster kids(寄养儿童)! You see, A'Layah and her brother were both foster kids. The little girl's birth mother was a drug addict (吸毒成瘾者), so she was taken to a foster care centre. Luckily, she finally found a forever home in the Robinson family.

    But A'Layah still couldn't forget the day when her brother came to live with them. She felt sad that he only had old clothes and shoes that were too small. She thought maybe she could help with a lemonade stand! That way she could raise money so that other foster kids could have a toy and a few other things of their own.

    A'Layah's first lemonade stand made $132! A'Layah was so excited to go with her mother to buy things for the foster kids. She decided they should have a toy, a toothbrush, a blanket and a book. Her first donation(捐赠物) was for 24 kids!

    A'Layah wanted to help more kids, so her mum helped her start a charity called A'Layah's Lemonade for Love. Till now, it has already raised over$17, 000! A'Layah hopes someday she will be able to send a toy to every kid in foster care.

    I caught a very bad cold last weekend and had to stay at home for a whole week. The nurse in the hospital took my temperature, I had a fever. The doctor told me to take both some Chinese and some west medicine. He suggested that I should stay in bed and have a good rest.

    When he asked me what probably caused（引起）the cold, I told him the whole story.

    Last weekend, I was studying for an exam. Father said to me, "You look stressed out, son. You really need to relax. Let's go fishing in the countryside!"

    "Harrah!" I shouted.

    The next morning, we got up very early. Mother told us that it was going to rain and she suggested that we should take our raincoat with us but we were too excited to remember that. We took a train and arrived at a lake in the countryside. A few hours later, it began to rain! Soon, it began to rain cats and dogs. We had to go back home.

    When we arrived home, we were wet through. Mom asked, "Did you catch any fish?"

    "No, we didn't. But we caught cold!" Dad answered.

    Canada Geese are large blue and white birds. When autumn arrives, they have to fly south where the weather is warmer. The winters are so cold in Canada that the birds die if they stay there.

    Last spring, Bill Lishman found sixteen young Canada Geese on his farm. They had lost their parents. Bill thought, "These young birds won't know what to do in the autumn."

    Bill had a small plane and he decided to teach the birds to follow him. All through the summer, he went on short trips in his plane and the young geese flew after him.

    When the cold weather arrived in autumn, Bill flew to Virginia in the United States, 600 miles (英里) south of his home in Canada. The geese followed him all the way. Bill left the geese in Virginia and he returned home.

    This spring. Bill was waiting for the birds to come back. They didn't arrive, so Bill flew to Virginia to get them. He looked for them for two weeks but he couldn't find them.

    When he arrived back home, Bill found the geese waiting for him. They had found their way home without him!

Last summer,Cathy's whole family went to New York City for their summer vacation. They stayed there for two weeks.

New York City has more than seven and a half million people.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} It is also the home of the United Nations.

First they visited the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is one of New York's most well-known places.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} On the second day they went to the Empire State Building. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}From the top of the building, they saw most parts of New York. On the third day they visited the Metropolitan Museum.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} During the rest time of the week, Cathy went to Bronx Zoo with her younger brother and sister. There they were glad to see a lot of their favourite animals-tigers, lions, monkeys, and elephants.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} On the island, they spent most of their time swimming sunbathing and playing on the beach. They all had a good time.

Today, my classmates and I had a study tour to the City Science Museum. It took us {#blank#}1{#/blank#} hour to get there by bus. 

In the museum, we {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (see) many kinds of inventions such as robots, rocket models, some dinosaurs and so {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. What's more, we took part in many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meaning) activities. For example, I used a 3D {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (print) to make a small bridge. Tony, the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (good) friend of mine, took quite a few {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (photo) at the museum. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we were a bit tired, we thought the study tour was educational for us. We had learnt a lot of knowledge on science and technology outside the classroom. 

However, the lunch we had during the trip didn't taste good at all. That's why I suggest that students should bring their own food by {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (them) on next visit. This way, they can eat more {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (enjoy) meals and also keep their energy up throughout the learning adventure. 

When I was a little boy, I was very shy. After class, I often stayed in the playground by myself and watched my 1 plying games. On weekends, I 2 went out to play with other children. 

One day, some of my classmates asked me to play basketball with them. I wanted to 3 them. But I worried that the ball might hit(击中) me on the head and I couldn't play basketball at all. So I said to them, "Sorry, 4 next time. "

That evening I 5 that with my father. He said, "My boy，playing basketball is not a(n) 6 thing. I'm sure you'll have fun 7 the activity. "However, I was 8 worried. I was very short and thin. I couldn't 9 fast. My father said, " If you believe in (相信)yourself, you can do it well. "

The next day, my father took me to a 10 and taught me how to play basketball. At first, I was a slow learner. After hours of practice, I felt that I loved the sport. 

Later, some boys in the park asked me to play basketball 11 . I thought the game should be interesting, so I said yes. 

We worked well 12 we didn't know each other. I ran after the ball and played hard. In the end, 13 got points, so we were all happy and excited. 

After that, I became interested in different 14 . I also made many friends 15 those fun activities. More importantly, I've learned that nothing is difficult if we believe in ourselves.
