May and Ann are twins (双胞胎). They look the same, but they are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}from each other in many ways (在很多方面).

One day, May and Ann go {#blank#}2{#/blank#} together. In the first shop, they see a pretty T-shirt. It's made of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and feels very comfortable. But it costs much. Ann says she wants to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} one. But May won't. “{#blank#}5{#/blank#} doesn't grow on trees. We must {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it wisely (明智地),” she says, “300 yuan for a T-shirt? I don't think we {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a T-shirt like this. A cheap one can be nice, too.”

Ann doesn't listen to May. “We can ask our {#blank#}8{#/blank#} for the money. They want us to look {#blank#}9{#/blank#},” she says.

     “No, I don't think so,” May answers. 

     So, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} do you think is right? Would you like to buy the T-shirt if you were Ann?  

    Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now a teenager w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the same problems might get on the Internet and write them in his blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. So, what makes a blog d{#blank#}2{#/blank#} from a diary?

    The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public t{#blank#}3{#/blank#} a diary. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as one full of s{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Both diaries and blogs tell what happened to the writer that day.

    A blog has both good and bad points (特点). The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write in your blog. If you are not satisfied with a friend during school and write something bad about him in your diary, he will never know it. H{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, if you do this on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. So we have to be careful of what we write.

    A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs, they know that their friends will read what they write. If you are f{#blank#}7{#/blank#} sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly w{#blank#}8{#/blank#} back to comfort you or offer you help. Blogs help people stay in close contact and let them know what their friends are doing.

T{#blank#}9{#/blank#} it's a good way to write blogs about everyday life, I still p{#blank#}10{#/blank#} my old diary.

    One year ago， eleven of my friends and I got together and made a group. We called {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (our) “12 Caring Women”.

    We meet once a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and take turns to hold the activity. We each donate(捐赠) 20 dollars， so we have 240 dollars each month for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (do) good things.

    When we{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(meet)， we discuss what to do in the month. Last month， we donated the money to a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} lady. She had a baby in an earthquake， but didn't have money {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(raise) her baby.

    Over the past year， we have helped many people{#blank#}7{#/blank#} need. We work with the government and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (school). They help us find people in need. If we don't have people to{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in one month， we give the money to the nursing home(养老院).

    When we help people， we feel very happy. I'm writing this passage {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (ask) more people to join us.

    Museums have changed. They are no longer places that one “should”go but to e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} . At a s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Children's Museum in New York,you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch” s{#blank#}3{#/blank#} in some other museums in the USA.

    More and more museum directors have realized that people learn beat when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to t{#blank#}4{#/blank#} , listen, operate and experiment so as to discover scientific rules for themselves.

    The p{#blank#}5{#/blank#} is not only to provide fun, but also help people feel at home in the world of science. If people don't understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it. One cause of all these c{#blank#}6{#/blank#} is the increase in wealth and spare time. A{#blank#}7{#/blank#} cause is the growing number of young people. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in a new and different  w{#blank#}8{#/blank#} . The old museums have been changing and the government is e{#blank#}9{#/blank#} the building of new, modern museums. In the States and Canada, there are more than 6 000 museums, almost twice as m{#blank#}10{#/blank#} as there were 25 years ago

    "It may be cool to ride a bike on the road. The gentle wind can make you feel comfortable and happy but it is also i{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (importance) to wear a helmet (头盔) for safety, "Sanders,a swimming champion said o{#blank#}2{#/blank#} October 4, 2012. Sanders was there to start the activity c{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) "Helmets on Heads"by teaching students about helmet {#blank#}4{#/blank#}['seɪfti].

    Sanders has two kids. They ride b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} every day. It's what they love to do. Sanders has always told them they can't ride their bikes without helmets even if they are going next door. It's most effective (有效的) to get your kids to listen when you take {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (act) yourself and do w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} you want them to do, " she said. That's why she started the activity.

    To make more kids know the importance of helmet safety, Sanders is going around the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} [kʌntr]. She has several stops. New York is the first. The big thing is just through word of mouth, making biking safety a fun activity. It's said that about 80% of the school s {#blank#}9{#/blank#} don't wear their helmets. It's a big problem. So the Helmets on Heads activity is very n {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ['neslsərl].

    "I love bike riding. I feel like a king again when I do that. Whenever I ride with my kids, I enjoy that look in their eyes. It's something we can all do together," said Sanders.
