When I am reading a newspaper at home ， my friends call me， “Will you 1 here and give us some help?” I throw the 2 away and run to them.

    My friends are playing a basketball game 3 And the ball goes right into Mrs White's 4 They know I live next to her ， 5 they want me to get the ball for them.

    I 6 my neighbour Mrs White. She looks unfriendly. Everyone says that she doesn't like the children.And 7 knows Mrs White well because she seldom comes out of her house or speaks.

    I walk into Mrs White's garden 8 I am nervous（紧张的）.Suddenly I see a tall 9 walking to me. It is Mrs White. I feel 10 when I see her.

    “Is this your 11 ?" she asks.

    I say yes and we'll 12 do it again.

    To my surprise， Mrs White says， "Why don't you kids 13 here? This hoop（篮球架）here is better than yours."

    Wow! We are so glad to hear that !Mrs White is 14 us to play in her garden! We all learn a(n)15lesson: what many people say isn't always true.

The Flame Mountain（火焰山）is about 200 km away from Urumqi in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it's the right place to go!

On hot summer days, it can get hotter than 80℃. Try to cook eggs or cakes in the sand and they will be ready in a few minutes!

Does rain help make it cooler? People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops dry in the hot air before they reach the ground.

The mountain came into being millions of years ago when the earth was changing a lot. We can't see any plants on the top of the mountain, only red rocks. They make the whole mountain look red. In hot air and strong sunshine, the mountain looks like a burning flame. That's where its name comes from.

Micah is my 12-year-olddaugher. We used to do many things together. But these days, "I'm good" is about all she says to me, which means "Leave me alone". 

I wondered why she didn't want to do things with me. When I set table for dinner one evening, I heard Micah shout, "Mom, come quickly" I rushed out and found a little baby bird on the ground. My eyes went up to the branches (树枝）. For the last few weeks we had watched the bird make a nest and lay eggs there. "The wind must have blown him out of the nest." I said. "No, it was Mr. Whiskers, our cat. You let him go outside !" Micah said.

I realized she was right. So I said sorry and put the bird back. As soon as we went inside, she began to search for what to feed it on the computer carefully. And I found she focused on the screen more than ever before. She didn't even have dinner with me. "It needs a name," Micah said. "How about Chance ? I think he has a good chance of living with your help."I said. "I like it," said Micah.

Early the next morning, I got up to mix the bird food that Micah found on the Internet. But Chance didn't need it, because his mother was back ! Weeks later, we went to check on Chance. The nest was empty. Chance was standing proudly on a branch.He has grown up ！ Then I realized Micah wasn't a little girl any longer. She is her own person.

Derek was born in Brazil in 1992. His father 1 him Derek after a famous surfing (冲浪) star because he wanted Derek to become a surfer. However, there was a problem.

When Derek was seventeen, he learnt about his 2 dream. From that moment, Derek tried his best to become 3 surfer. He went to the beach every day and started taking surfing lessons with a coach. Derek kept 4 and finally, he learned to surf! 5 unbelievable it was! Derek says that he can't see, but he can hear the 6 when the waves are coming. He says none of the waves make the same noise, so he knows which way to surf in.

In 2012, he flew to Hawaii to surf one of 7 waves in the world. Local surfers were very surprised to see the confident young man surf the big wave 8 no problem at all.

There will be a film about 9 on show next year. Derek's story in the film teaches us that nothing is impossible 10 we believe in ourselves!

On Sunday, Leo and his friends go to the West Hill Farm. It's far from their school, so they go there on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} school bus. They take some food and drinks with them. When they get to the farm, the farmers {#blank#}2{#/blank#} very glad to see them.
