It seems like it was only yesterday - getting out of school on a hot summer day. My friends and I would race each other to the street comer. We always wanted to be the first in line to see "Uncle Lee".

    "Uncle Lee" arrived every day after school on his motorcycle. He happily sold us cold ice creams from the freezer on the side of his motorcycle. It wasn't much, but it made me and my friends so happy.

    Recently, filled with these memories, I decided to take a trip back to my old school. I wanted to see if I could still buy an ice cream from old "Uncle Lee" Sadly, when I got there, I could not find him anywhere.

    So I stopped by my old headmasters office. We had a nice chat and I told him all about my successful business. Then I asked him about "Uncle Lee". "Oh, that's right," he said to me, "you boys were always so fond of Uncle Lee'. I'm sorry to tell you, but he had to retire (退休)."

    "Why is that?" I asked.

    I'm not really sure," my headmaster went on, "I think the government wouldn't renew his license."

    Without doubt, I was feeling quite sad when I left my old school. I decided to walk down those old streets for a while and reviewed the memories of my youth (青春).Then, just as I was thinking about going home, I saw him. It was "Uncle Lee"! He was, of course, much older, but I would never forget that face.

    So I ran over to see him. He still remembered my name I couldn't believe it! We talked for a while, but it was getting late, so I had to go.

    Later that night, I began to wonder more about why the government would make that old man stop doing the job that he loved. Then I thought about my own children. "They'll never have the chance to know an 'Uncle Lee'", I thought.

    It is true that Hong Kong is changing every day. I only hope that we will not lose the things which make us truly special.

    Long ago in Germany, there was a little boy named George Frederick Handel and he loved music very much. He wanted to learn how to play the piano. But his father wanted him to become a lawyer (律师) and would not let him take music lessons.

    There was a little and old piano up in the attic (阁楼). At night, when everybody was asleep, the little boy climbed up the stairs and played softly.

    When he was about 7, he went to visit a rich duke (公爵) with his father. There was a wonderful organ (风琴) in his house.

    Little Handel walked up to the organ and began to play. His little hands moved over the keys and the sweetest music came out.

    When he finished, he saw his father and the duke looking at him. The duke asked him where he had learned to play, and the boy ________.

    Then the duke persuaded (说服) Handel's father to let him study music. A few years later, young Handel became a famous composer.

When I was looking for a Christmas present for my daughter in a toy store, a nicely dressed little girl, with some money in her little hand, was looking at some beautiful {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. When she saw a doll she liked, she would ask her father {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she had enough money. He usually said yes.

At the same time, a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, with old and small clothes, was looking at some computer games. He, too, had money in his hand, but it looked no more than five dollars. Each time he picked up one of the computer games and looked at his father, the father shook his head.

The little girl had {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a very beautiful doll. However, she noticed the boy and his father. She saw the boy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a computer game with disappointment(失望) and walk to another corner of the store.

What if you don't know how to study well? The Feynman Technique might help you. It's a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. 

The Feynman Technique has been one of the best study methods for years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. Different from traditional study methods like re-reading textbooks or reviewing notes, it gets students to be more active in the learning process. 

If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. 

To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn. If not, you'll end up jumping between the topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them. 

The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts. 

Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn't explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader. 

The fourth step is to improve your explanation using the information collected from the third step. 

Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic. 

Once you're confident you have learned the topic, it's time to give yourself a prize

Do you like reading? If so, El Deafocan be a good choice for you to enjoy. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a little girl called Cece. She has become one of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (popular) cartoon heroes among American young readers recently. 

At the age of four, Cece loses her hearing because of{#blank#}3{#/blank#} serious illness. Her world has changed a lot since then. After returning home from the hospital, her family moves to a small town and she enters a new school there. To help her hear better at school, Cece{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(give) a special hearing aid machine: the Phonic Ear. At the same time, there's a microphone for her teacher to wear. So whenever the teacher{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(talk), Cece can hear her very clearly. With this "super hearing", she gets a superhero name—EI Deafo. 

As being different, some children always laugh at her. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(luck), there are a group of friends{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(stand) by her side. Thanks to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they) help, Cece has got enough courage. She can get over those{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(difficulty) little by little. 

Like other good books for young people, this story makes us think about{#blank#}10{#/blank#} we should act in such situations. And it helps us understand that learning to care about others is important in our life.
