In America, science is a very important class. In middle school we were {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  how to solve problems by thinking like a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . We had to think of a question, guess an answer, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  a way to test our guess. There were lots of experiments and other activities. I remember studying how science can explain things like light and electricity.
Our English class is very different from {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  in China, more like Chinese class I think! We read lots of books and talked about them, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  we could understand what we read better. We learned how to know what information is important when we read and what {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  so important. In my class we all gave six {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  to the class during the year. We had to talk in front of the class for six {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ten minutes!
We also have health classes. In this class, we learned about our bodies and how to take care of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  by doing things like eating healthy foods, and not doing {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  things like smoking or drugs (毒品). We cooked a little bit, but I was not very good at it!

    Years ago, I lived in a house in a large city.  The house next door was only a few meters away from {#blank#}1{#/blank#} .  Through the window, I could often see a woman who I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} never met doing some reading in the house every afternoon.
    Several months went by, I began to notice that her window was dirty.  Everything was not very clear {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  the dirty window.  I wondered {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  the woman didn't wash her window, it really looked terrible.
    One bright morning, I decided to clean my house, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  washing the window inside.   Late in the afternoon when 1 finished all the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.  How surprising! I found that the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}  window was actually so clean that she could be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} clearly sitting by the window. That was quite an important lesson for me.  How often had I looked at  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}    through my own shortcomings  (缺点) !
    Since then, I have been used to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  myself whether I am looking through my own dirty window.  Before I want to judge someone, I always think more than before and try to clean the dirty window so that I may see the world around me more {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  .

    Cartoon is the most popular TV program that attracts many children at the age 3 to 10. It's {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that the word “cartoon” came from Italian. It first referred to the picture before a true drawing on the wall. In the mid-19th century, it came into English. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the 1840s , it has also come to mean any picture that is humorous, satirical(讽刺的) or showing an opinion. It usually comes out in a newspaper and magazine, with or {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a short text. Today cartoons are a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of the daily life of most people. Cartoons not only show their life, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} also help them relax.

    Wang Feng is one of the most popular rock stars in China. I love his music even though I speak very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Chinese. Of course, I look {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the English translations of his songs on the website so I can understand their meanings. Wang Feng was born into a musical family on June 29, 1971 in Beijing. He started{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the violin when he was five. In 1994,he found(组建) the band No. 43 Baojia Street. Unluckily, the band finally {#blank#}4{#/blank#} up and Wang Feng started his solo career(独唱生涯) Wang Feng writes his own songs. He once wrote a beautiful song {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Our Dream” for Beijing Olympics in 2008. In this song he described how happy the Chinese people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to host the Olympics. If you've {#blank#}7{#/blank#} heard of Wang Feng before, I wish you could try to listen to his songs. I believe you will enjoy {#blank#}8{#/blank#} for years. For all those who are already the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of Wang Feng, it will be great to hear from you as well. I'd like to make {#blank#}10{#/blank#} with all of you.

    Next time you hold a book in your hands, stop and think. Like most other things in the modern world, it is the result of thousands of years of human invention.

    First, came the invention of writing,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(probable) about 5500 year ago. With writing, people did not have to remember everything in their heads. They could communicate with people that they never {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) and share their knowledge with future generations.

    Later, the Greeks were well-done for their literature( 文学 ) and science, but their “books” looked very different {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the books of today. They were called scrolls(卷轴).

    They were different to use and took a lot of space in a library. About 2,000 years ago, books with lots of pages {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(invent).

    For more than a thousand years, the pages of books were made from animal skin. That changed in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}thirteenth century, when Europeans learned about a very {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(use) Chinese invention: paper.

    But the biggest change for books in Europe came in 1439, when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press. Before that, books in Europe were copied by hand, so they were very expensive. Many more people could afford the books {#blank#}7{#/blank#}were produced on a printing press.

    These days it is difficult {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(imagine) a world without books. But human invention does not stop. Every year, more {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(story) are bought as e-books and read on a screen.

    Will anyone turn the pages of a traditional book in the future,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}will books, like scrolls soon disappear?

    One day, Little Red Riding Hood {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to her grandmother's house. She {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some flowers in the forest, then went to the forest to pick flowers. But the wolf saw {#blank#}3{#/blank#} So the wolf ran to her grandmother's house and swallowed (吞咽) her grandmother, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} pretended (假装) the grandmother and swallowed Little Red Riding Hood, too. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} hunters (猎人) found and killed the wolf, saved the Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.
