Do you know from what English people get their family names in the old days? Everyone has a family name. But what does it mean? What do family names come from?

First, some family names come from the place of their homes. If a man lives on or near a hill, his family name may be Hill. In English people's names may be Wood, Lake, because they live near the wood or lake.

Second, family names come from a person's job. If a person is a cook, his family name may be Cook.

Third, many people get their family names from their father's given name. If you hear the name" Jackson", you know that he is the son of Jack.

Have you ever seen the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》)? There's 1 famous saying in it: "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know2 " The surprise is part of the fun. It is not only from the chocolates you find in the box but also the process of opening the box. Now blind box toys have become very popular since they 3 to China. Blind box toys are hidden inside the same packaging. So, the buyers don't know what is in the boxes until they open 4 . The most popular toys in the blind boxes are cute characters that come 5 pop movies, comics and cartoons. There 6 a few special ones in many common boxes. "Maybe the next one is a gold toy. My wish is 7 another box." said one buyer. As a result, people will open more blind boxes and hope for a better result.

Besides expecting good results, people also enjoy the surprise and uncertain mysteries. "Opening a blind box like opening a birthday gift is an enjoyable surprise for our simple daily lives," said a 8 girl. "When I open these simple little boxes, I feel disappointed at one, but I feel 9 at another." A fear of the unknown is always a part of the box opening process, and waiting for the uncertainty is 10 part of the fun.

I often hear some students say English is difficult and gives them a headache. So they can't learn it well. But English is very easy for me. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I'm very glad to tell you something about how I study English. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} When I was in Grade Three, we had a new subject— English. It was new to me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was!{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, and the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!

Second, as English is a foreign language, I learn it well in the following ways:{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Then practise again and again, and never be tired.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Whenever I have a question, I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand it!

You may see some herons（鹭） in the park using bread or insects as a tool to catch fish. This is just one of the ways in which birds have changed their living habits because of humans' activities. Now, a new study has found that birds that are able to change their behaviors（行为） in this way are less likely to die out. These changes may include adding new food to their diet, developing new hunting skills, or living in a new environment.

Scientists studied reports of new behaviors among different kinds of birds around the world. The study includes more than 3,800 new behaviors among 8,600 kinds of birds. They discovered that the more new hunting skills the birds learn, the larger population they will have.

However, scientists also found that innovation（革新） can only protect birds from changes in their living place, but not from over-hunting or the danger from other animals. For example, some animals are very dangerous to some birds: snakes can eat little birds; some hungry mice steal birds' eggs. Above all, humans often mean the greatest danger to birds. They always take up too much space, cut down trees and even cause various kinds of pollution.

This shows that, unlike what is usually believed, the ability of innovation protects animals from some but not all of the rapid changes in the environment.
