David is a college student. Last year he went on vacation to Yunnan with his cousin, Cindy. First, they went to Kunming by plane. David liked the weather there. It was not cold or hot. It was really fine. Cindy liked all kinds of flowers best there.

    After two weeks, they went to Dali by train. They visited the famous Dali old city and some other places of interest there. They also knew about many local customs(当地的风俗).

    One week later, David and Cindy took the bus to Lijiang—a beautiful town. They visited Jade Dragon Snow Mountain(玉龙雪山). It was really wonderful. They also visited the old town of Lijiang. There were many interesting stores and restaurants there. They ate much fine food there. And Cindy bought many presents(礼物) for her sister Mary and her brother Bill. David had to come back to the university so they only stayed in Lijiang for one week.

    David likes Lijiang so much. He hopes to visit it this summer holiday again.

    When I was five years old, I took a boat out on the river and went fishing by myself. I really wanted to catch a fish! But they were not biting. I stayed in my boat for three days, waiting. A few times, I thought I felt a fish at the end of the line. The first time I pulled in my catch, it was not a fish; it was an old bag. The second time, it was a shoe. Finally, at the end of the third day, I felt a strong pull at the end of the line. The pull was so strong that my boat raced around and around. I needed all my power just to hold onto the fishing rod. I pulled, and I pulled and I caught the biggest fish that ever swam on the earth! It was heavier than everyone in this room put together! Then something terrible happened! After I pulled the huge fish into my boat, I saw that the boat was going under water! Water was coming into the boat from all sides! I was not a very good swimmer, so I was scared.

    Although it was the hardest choice I ever made, I had to let the fish go. I pushed it back over the side of the boat, and we waved good-bye to each other as it swam away.

Many newspapers and magazines have an advice page. People write to ask for help with their problems. Three teenagers wrote the following Internet posts to  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}online newspaper.

Anna: I'm  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(worry) about my friend Jilin. She wants to be a model and she's thin, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}she thinks she's fat. She always eats very little and now she's getting too thin. But whenever I talk to her  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}it, she becomes quite unhappy. How can I help her?

Peter: I went out with a group of friends yesterday. When we were walking across the road,  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(sudden), we saw a lady lying in the street. She looked very sick. My friends made jokes about her and  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(laugh) at her. I regret not saying anything. I feel ashamed (羞愧) of  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(I). What should I do in this situation?

Simon: I've just started  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(wear)braces(牙箍), but I hate them. My friends all laugh at me. I feel quite uncomfortable  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. I smile or open my mouth. The braces hurt my  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (tooth), and it's difficult for me to eat. What should I do?

Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track (跑道) in my neighborhood. Most people walk on the track, so I am 1 than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track. This makes 2 feel proud.

One day, a short man came. I saw him out of the car and do exercise 3 running. Then he started running and he was fast. I 4 up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap (圈), I fell behind him and had great 5 in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt, 6 I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe again and the pain in my foot went away. In a very short time, I was far behind him. He was too fast for me to 7 .

That day, I learnt several lessons. In 8 , there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural talent, and some have trained harder. Don't judge a person by how he or she looks.

The point is that we each have our own speed. When we are trying to keep up, we often 9 hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Don't run fast when you should be running 10 . Don't run at all when you should be walking.

You want to know about my stay in the UK, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really 1 fantastic experience to study here. I came to Woodpark School in London two months ago. Since then, I 2 in this school. I find that school life in the UK is very different from that in China.

In China, the first lesson begins at about eight o' clock and there are 3 lessons a day. The first lesson in the UK begins an hour 4 than that in China. Before the first lesson, students all wait in a special classroom. Then a teacher calls the roll(点名) to check if 5 has arrived on time. After that, students change classrooms. Everybody has his or her own course schedule. They go to different classrooms for different lessons instead of 6 in the same classroom. For example, if one's first lesson is Maths, he or she should go to the classroom for Maths.

Besides languages, Science, art, British students learn many 7 courses such as cooking and gardening at school. The boy in my host family once cooked Chinese soup for me. It really surprised me because it tasted as 8 as what my mum cooked.

How time flies! I have been in the UK 9 two months. I will study here fo another month. I am sure I 10 find out more differences in the future. Believe me!
