    After that, we went on down the river. It was very dark that night and it wasn't easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river.

    When I came up out of the water, I couldn't see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He's dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Who's there?”

“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “I've fallen off a river boat.”

    Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed.

    A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.

    On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didn't break up. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.

We decided to leave at once. It's all right living in a house for a little while, but you feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.

    It was the first time for him to do that.He bought a ticket and then went in.But after two or three minutes he came out, bought a second ticket and went in again.After a few minutes he came out again and bought a third ticket.Two or three minutes later he came out and asked for another ticket.Then the girl in the ticket office asked him, “Why did you buy so many tickets? How many friends did you meet?” Tom answered, “No, I have no friends here.But a big boy always stops me at the door and tears(撕) my ticket.”

The twins were filled with excitement as they were planning a surprise for Mother's Day. They planned to make French toast (吐司) and chicken porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. When the big1 came, the pair went to the kitchen quietly early in the morning. They put some rice into a pot (锅) and left it to boil while they made the French toast. Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenny put two pieces of bread into the egg mixture. Everything was going smoothly2 Jeff started frying (煎) the bread. The pan was too3 and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenny threw the burnt piece, put in the other piece and4 the fire so it cooked slowly. Then Jeff noticed the porridge boiled over. Jenny felt scared.5 , Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. Just then, they caught the smell of burning. The other piece of bread in the pan had turned6 as well. As the twins looked around them in disappointment, their father7 . "Don't be worried!" He helped them clean the mess quickly. After that, Jeff told their father their plan. "Sounds great! I can8 you to cook," their father said. Hearing this, Jenny and Jeff9 with joy in eyes. With their father's help, it didn't take long10 the French toast and chicken porridge were ready. When11 was ready, their father left the kitchen, promising to keep their12 . The twins carried the breakfast upstairs and woke their mother up. "Happy Mother's Day!" "It is unbelievable! You can cook! It's the biggest13 I have received," seeing the breakfast, their mother said excitedly. Her face shone with14 . Their father winked (眨眼) at Jenny and Jeff and said, "They have known how to15 others." It was a secret only shared between them.

Living Like Franklin（像本杰明 · 富兰克林那样安排作息帮助我成为了一个更高效的人）

Benjamin Franklin, a writer, printer, politician, scientist and inventor, certainly knew how to get things done quickly. I recently learned about his daily schedule. And in an effort to be more productive, I have tried to follow it.

I started by getting up at 5 every morning. However, I always found myself tired during the day. After six days, I decided to rise at 6 a.m. and spend two hours — one hour less than Franklin — planning my day. Franklin's day didn't seem to include any exercise. I'm used to exercising in the morning, so I added "workout" to those two hours. At 8 a.m., I sit down to work.

Working continuously for four hours was a challenge. I realized that I was less able to fully focus on my work after 10 a.m. Slowly, I found a fix by dealing with harder tasks, like writing, in the first half of these four hours. I use the remaining two hours for easier tasks like researching.

Taking a two-hour break at noon to eat and read seemed wasteful to me. I rarely spent more than 30 minutes eating lunch. During the first week, I kept watching the clock to find out when I could return to work. Finally, I decided not to eat and read at my desk. Now, I'm used to taking a longer lunch break, and I've seen the benefits.

At 2 p.m., I start working non-stop for another four hours. Again, the order in which I complete my tasks is based on my energy level. At 6 p.m., I force myself to call it a day. I spend the rest of the day having supper and relaxing. I go to bed at 10 p.m.

Every morning, Franklin would ask himself, "What good shall I do today?" And he would end the day by asking himself, "____?" At first, I thought this was silly. But answering those two questions daily has helped me to make the most of my day.

I've learned a lot by following Franklin's schedule. I think I'm using my time more wisely now.

Today our school is having a sports meeting. A lot of students are having different  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (kind) of sports on the sports field. A football game {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Class 3 and Class 5 is going on right now. It's exciting to see which team will win in the end. Look{#blank#}3{#/blank#} those students over there! They {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (practise) the long jump. One of them jumps {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(high) than anyone else. He wants {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(break) the school record (记录). Not far away, some girls are running and the girl in blue runs much {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(fast) than other girls. On the corner, a teacher is telling a few students how to throw a discus (铁饼){#blank#}8{#/blank#}(far). 

We students love sports. Sports can help us keep {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(health). They help people live {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy). Also, people may become good friends after sports.

 What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it's just a way of getting to the place you want. But for me the train itself can be part of the1 . It will be always in my mind.

Last year after I graduated from university, I chose some of the most 2 rail lines to travel around Asia. At first, I3 my journey by taking China's first panda-themed tourist train. This train travel was new to me. I loved its lovely design. Its inside and outside 4 panda pictures. The staff(员工) carried panda toys and I could try panda-shaped food. The staff were friendly. I felt comfortable because of their 5 .

 Then I tried Qinghai-Tibet Railway. As the train climbed higher,I found it6 to breathe, and my head started to ache.7 , I met a warm-hearted girl. She talked with me to make me feel less painful. We still keep in touch with each other now. I have never 8 to make such a new friend!

I ended my journey on the9 railway in the world— the Trans-Siberian Railway. It took me six days to run from Moscow to Vladivostok. It was like a time travel experience. Since the way covers eight time zones(时区),I saw my10 go back suddenly after crossing a new zone. It was quite interesting. The sights along the way made me feel peaceful and joyful.

 You will never know what you will experience, and who you will meet when traveling.
