Years ago, when Dad moved to the USA, I had to go to school in New York. I was worried.  How could I, an eight-year-old girl from 1, make friends in America?

    On my first day at Anna Silver School, I met Miss Green, my class 2. She spoke to me slowly and 3 to get me used to her American accent. When she discovered that I 4 drawing, she encouraged me a lot. Miss Green made sure that I could fit into her class easily, and before I knew it, I was already having 5 fun, just as other schoolgirls could.

    When Dad was sent back to India, I had to6 Anna Silver School.  I was 7 again Miss Green had planned to take us students for a 8 trip, but I had to say goodbye to them now.  So, with a 9 heart, I left my school and the USA.  Back in India, I received a package one day.  It was 10 Miss Green and my 24 classmates. They had written me a letter each, 11 me about the fishing trip. Miss Green said she 12 me very much. With her good wishes, she added, "Keep up with your drawing 13 you love it so much."

    I'm very 14 to Miss Green. She not only made a shy little 15 feel at home in a faraway country, but also taught me and my classmates to understand the importance of being kind to others at an early age.

    For most people, summer holidays mean sun, sea and sand, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. She had a holiday full of ice and snow. She and her family travelled across Greenland! Starting just above the Arctic Circle (北极圈), Sarah's family used dogsleds with kites to cross the world's biggest island.

    Sarah says {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. "There is only snow, ice, and more snow. " The family travelled 15 miles a day for 22 days, moving faster when strong winds pushed along their kites.

    Then the weather became a bit hot for the dogs to pull sleds during the day, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. The Landrys lived in tents, ate dried food, and took baths with heated water. When they weren't travelling, they played with kites and made snowmen. Using their mobile phones, the family could send and get emails even from Greenland's ice cap! The road to the top was icy and dangerous.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. "Icebergs (冰山) were so bright, just like the rising sun." said Sarah. Now she and her family have returned home, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Next holiday, they are going to the South Pole.

I stood nervously behind the red curtain and looked out across the stage (舞台). A girl about my age sat at a piano; I could see her fingertips 1 over the black and white keys in front of her. 

My body froze when the girl stood up from the bench. It was finally my turn. I could hear my heart beating 2 . The girl passed by me with a smile, I heard her say "Good luck"! 

"Well, here goes nothing." I said to3 , 

Then I stepped onto the stage and walked slowly toward the piano. The 4 lights nearly blinded me, making it difficult to see the audience. When I reached the piano, the sounds of whispering soon turned into complete 5 . I stared at my 6 fingers and for a moment my mind went blank! Closing my eyes, I imagined the music sitting in front of me and tried to recall (回忆) every detail. 

Finally, I took a deep breath and began to play Beethoven's Moonlight sonata (协奏曲). My fingers began to 7 over the keys. The rich tones of the piano rang out. One by one, each muscle (肌肉) in my body loosened and 8 . 

All the practice and effort put in for six months showed this was 9 my teacher was pushing for. "Keep your wrists up, relax your arms, don't raise your shoulders. . ." I remembered feeling a bit 10 when hearing these things over and over. But I never realized until now how it really 11 . 

When I reached the end of the piano a great 12 went up from the audience. I rose from the bench and gave a deep bow. A 13 smile lit up my face. As the applause (鼓掌声) 14 I turned and walked to the other side of the stage. I saw a young boy standing nervously behind the red curtains staring fearfully out at the stage. When I walked by, I passed to him the two words that were 15 to me for encouragement: Good luck! 

Next week there will be a special sports game in the forest. All the animals will take part in it, and they're {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for it now. 

Mr. Rabbit is a famous {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. He did {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in the 100-meter race against a tortoise (乌龟) last year. This time he won't fall asleep again. He'll be more {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. And he asked birds to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him on. He is sure that he can be the first one to cross the finish {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Mr. Monkey is good at jumping. He'll take part in the high jump and the long jump. It was bad that he only {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the second place in the long jump last year. Now he keeps practicing jumping early in the morning. He {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he'll win this time. Tigers will play {#blank#}9{#/blank#} lions in the 800-meter relay race. Tigers are practicing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the stick to each other. A tiger's feet were hurt not long ago. But he keeps on running. Tigers will do their best to win the first. Of course, some other animals, such as cats, dogs and elephants are busy playing sports, too. 

All the animals hope to get good grades in this sports game. 

My brother Claudio is one of the people I love most. He is smart and always helpful, taking care of me and our younger sister, Sarah. The day when he left home to go to college, he taught me the importance(重 要性)of being a man. 

It was a sunny Saturday morning in August. Sarah was playing the piano. The sound woke us up as usual. In the kitchen, there was a surprise for Claudio—his favorite pancakes. 

Mom gave us a big smile and told us to sit down for the breakfast. Happily, we sat down at the table and had breakfast. After breakfast, Claudio called me to his room. "It's time, brother, "he said. I thought he was saying that it was time for him to leave the house, but in fact he told me that I should do more for Mom than before after he let. 

I thought about his words twice and then understood everything. When he left home, I would learn to take care of the family just as he did before. That day I learned about family, love and duty(责任)

Hello, everyone! I'm Ne Zha. I'm from Chentangguan, China. My father Li Jing is a general (将军). {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Lady Yin is my mother. She has long black hair. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It's not easy for her to give birth to me. My mom loves me so much. And I love her, too. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Their names are Jin Zha and Mu Zha. I have a big and happy family. I am cool. You and your parents all like me. Look! My teacher gives me an armillary sash(混天绫). {#blank#}4{#/blank#} And he gives me the wind fire wheels (轮). They can help me fly. They are red, too. I am a Chinese boy. But now you can see the movie Ne Zha in America. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Because my story tells people that my fate(命运)is decided by myself not God .
