Walt Disney was b{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in Chicago in 1901. He enjoyed d{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. He was very poor. He drew pictures in his father's garage(车库). One day a mouse came into the garage and p{#blank#}3{#/blank#} on the floor. Disney g{#blank#}4{#/blank#} him some bread. Then the mouse came up and sat on his desk. In this way, the mouse and the poor artist(艺术家) b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} good friends. Later Disney went to Hollywood. He worked very hard b{#blank#}6{#/blank#} few(很少) people knew him.

    One day he r{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the mouse. “I will draw that mouse,” he said to himself. “I hope every child in this country will like my mouse.”

He drew many pictures of the mouse. At last he was pleased with one of his p{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. He called the mouse Mickey Mouse. Soon Mickey Mouse was known all over the world(全世界). And the n{#blank#}9{#/blank#} of Walt Disney was known to many people in the world, too. Now Disneyland is the world's greatest park for c{#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

Humans' Greatest Achievements

     The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved some amazing things.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics (抗生素) has saved the lives of millions of people. Can you imagine living without electricity? What about the printing press (印刷术)? Without the printing press, you wouldn't be reading this. In the last 50 years, there have been great achievements in communication, such as radio, TV, computers, the Internet, and smartphones (智能手机). {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    What about the arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics? {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Finally, we must not forget humans' early achievements. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} We can't imagine modern life without cooked food and cars.

    What are humans' greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need to decide what we mean by “great”. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Or is it just something that makes us say “Wow,” like the Great Wall? What do you think?

Charlotte Kelly shares how she celebrated Father's Day with her father, astronaut Scott Kelly:

     I am on the summer break from school right now. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} school ended, my dad set up a video conference(视频会议) with my class. All of the kids really {#blank#}2{#/blank#} seeing him and asking him questions about space. I couldn't help laughing when I saw him eat a piece of floating(漂浮的) strawberry {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. Two days ago, my mom and I went to a party with my {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Holly and her family. Just around 9:10 pm, we were all able to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} at the night sky and see the International Space Station(国际空间站) fly over. It looked like a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} star just moving across the sky. Then it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} after four minutes.

     Today is Father's Day. My sister and I were able to do a video conference with our dad at the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} time. She was in Houston, I was in Virginia Beach and my dad was flying over us! Really! He was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} flying over us. He put his video monitor(视频监视器)in his window and took a picture of Virginia Beach from {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. How wonderful!

    Betty is going to e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} herself during the M{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Day holiday. On the morning of 1st May she is going to g{#blank#}3{#/blank#} up late and then r{#blank#}4{#/blank#} a book. In the afternoon, she is going to do her h{#blank#}5{#/blank#} with her classmate.

     Why do we play sports? You might say “to get exercise” and you'd be right. To have fun? That's true, too. But there's more. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} According to a study, girls who play sports get a lot more than just fit.

　　Girls who play sports do better in school. You might think that playing sports will take up all your study time. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  Exercise improves learning, and memory, which can give active girls an advantage in the classroom.

Girls who play sports learn teamwork and goal-setting skills. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} When you work with coaches, trainers, and teammates to win games and achieve goals, you're learning how to be successful. Those skills will serve you well at work and in family life.

　　Playing sports improves self-confidence.  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Why? It builds confidence when you know you can practice, improve, and achieve your goals. Sports are also a feel-good activity because they help girls get in shape, keep a healthy weight, and make new friends.

  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Playing sports can reduce stress and help you feel a little happier. How? The brain chemicals released during exercise improve a person's mood. Friends are another mood-lifter．And being on a team creates tight bonds between friends. It's good to know your teammates will support you－both on and off the field!
