Time passes swiftly and never r{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Our three years of Junior high school life will come to an e{#blank#}2{#/blank#} We'll have to say goodbye to each other—to our best friends and to our beloved teachers. I have all the happy and sad m{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of the three years in my heart.

    Three years ago, three boys came to a school from different places. They were my best friends and I. At that time, we were young and shy of each other. H{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, as time went by, we became closer and closer. We studied hard together, played sports together and hung out with each other. When we failed exams, we e{#blank#}5{#/blank#} each other. We faced challenges together, and solved problems together. We s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} happiness and sadness, and grew up together.

    Now, as best friends, we have to face the future separately (分离). Nothing can c{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the fact. I believe that, a{#blank#}8{#/blank#} we may end up in different high schools, our friendship will last.

    I have one w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} for my friends. I hope they will get good grades in the high school e{#blank#}10{#/blank#} exams.

    If you think of after­school activities as a waste of time, you are wrong! After­school activities help us grow up in many {#blank#}1{#/blank#}．Above all, they offer us chances to practice{#blank#}2{#/blank#}we learn in class.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} various activities, we can also learn more about today's society and a lot of new things that we can't learn from our books. What's more, they help to develop our abilities that we need {#blank#}4{#/blank#}for our studies now and for our work and life in the future.

    We are busy with our studies in school, so after school we all need to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}ourselves. After­school activities just make it possible {#blank#}6{#/blank#}us to breathe {#blank#}7{#/blank#}air and remove tiredness. Then, we can pay {#blank#}8{#/blank#}to our studies and achieve good results.

    Some after­school activities will make us useful {#blank#}9{#/blank#}helpful to others. Some can keep us strong and healthy, some may even change our life. So, all the students, get out and take {#blank#}10{#/blank#}active part in various after­school activities!

    In a primary school, a teacher asked her students what they wished to become when they grow up. There were several {#blank#}1{#/blank#} — a doctor, a teacher, a film-star and so on.

    One of the students gave a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} answer. This child said, "I want to be a television!" The teacher asked the child {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he had such a wish. He said, with his eyes full {#blank#}4{#/blank#} tears, "There is no one at home to watch me or care for me. Everyone sits around the television. If there is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} wrong with the TV, they give great attention to it and fix it at once."

    The loving teacher met the child's mother and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} about this with her. The mother said, "My husband is a very busy businessman. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#} has time to look after the child." "But what about you?" the teacher asked the mother. "What do you know about me? I'm the president of the women's club. I have {#blank#}8{#/blank#}many meetings and activities." The teacher now understood why the child {#blank#}9{#/blank#} lonely at home.

    "I think children want their parents to spend {#blank#}10{#/blank#} time with them." said the teacher.

    John Allen, an American scientist once said, "The Internet is the world's largest library, but all the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in it are on the floor!" What he meant is that the Internet is full of information but it can be difficult to find what you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} need.

    The Internet has another disadvantage. Anyone can build a website, so you can {#blank#}3{#/blank#} websites about whatever you can imagine. Unfortunately, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} lot of information on them is not always true.

    At the same time, the Internet provides many other things. On some websites, you can download music and films. They are usually very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and some are even free. On some other websites, you can connect with people from all over the world. And there are some great online shops，too. For example，on eBay people sell used clothes, CDs, and even cars {#blank#}6{#/blank#}very low prices.

    It is true that the Internet has made {#blank#}7{#/blank#} lives more convenient. But we should not {#blank#}8{#/blank#} too much on it. Whether you love it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} hate it, though, you'd better get used to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} because it is right here to stay.
