David was a middle school student. His father, Mr. Hill, was a rich farmer and he had a very big  1. They lived in a small village 2fifteen years. Later on Mr. Hill opened a shop in our town and 3a house here last month. Then his family moved to the new house and David began to 4in our class. But at first he had 5friends at school. He was always alone. His neighbor Cathy was a  6girl. She had many friends. When she found the boy

    7talked with others, she decided to 8him. She talked a lot with him and sometimes played with him. So very soon  9became good friends.

    One afternoon, Cathy said to David, "It'll be my 10birthday tomorrow. I'll have a birthday 11. Will you please come?" "Certainly, I'm glad to," the boy said  12.

    David got home and thought about 13he could give to Cathy. He was sorry that he  14 to ask the girl what she liked. At that moment Mrs. Hill came and asked, "What's the matter, dear?" "What would you like 15it was your sixteenth birthday, Mummy?" "Nothing," the woman said, "I just wish I were sixteen."

A man was sitting in the doctor's office. He was telling the doctor about his {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. "I like football, Doctor. "He said, "Please help {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. My life has {#blank#}3{#/blank#}been a good one since I became {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in football and it is getting worse and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I can't even get away from it in my sleep. When I close my {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I'm out there in the football field and running {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a flying ball. When I wake up, I'm more {#blank#}8{#/blank#} than I was before I went to bed. What am I going to do?" The doctor sat back and said, "{#blank#}9{#/blank#} of all, you have to do your best not to dream about football. Before you fall asleep, try to think about something else. Try to think that you are at a party and someone is going to give you several million dollars. "" Are you crazy（疯了）?"the man shouted {#blank#}10{#/blank#}，"I'll miss the ball !"

A lot of primary schools in China are doing something to improve naptime conditions (午休条件)for students.

Recently, Dongxing Experimental Primary School in Quanzhou, Fujian, is popular on the Internet. Why? Because the school uses adjustable(可调整的) sleep desks to help students have a better nap. With a simple turn of a knob(旋钮), desks become comfortable beds. In this way, students can rest in a proper way.

Longteng Primary School in Zhengzhou, Henan, is another example. At school, there are some unused classrooms. These classrooms are now naptime rooms with beds and pillows.

For classroom usage, Tianqi Primary School in Wuhan, Hubei, is planning to make unused indoor sports fields and activity rooms future nap spaces. Teachers in Tianqi said, "Students are excited to hear this news. They are looking forward to having a comfortable place to rest."

In the town of Chashan, Liling, Hunan, Meixia Wanquan Primary School plays an important role for a great number of left-behind children who live too far away to return home for a nap. An organization gave them 130 folding beds to make sure every child could have a proper nap.

The new way of napping at school is not only comfortable but also good for health. Medical experts warn, "If students take naps with their face down, it will increase(增加)their eye pressure and finally lead to some eye problems. The lying-down way of napping addresses these worries, and protects the children's health."

It was Saturday that day. Luke was wearing his basketball clothes, waiting for his chance to play but until last week, nobody asked him to play. Although the 18-year-old student does well in playing basketball, his coach wouldn't like to bring Luke into play. This is because it isn't easy for Luke to see things even when he wears glasses. He has to try his best to aim at the basketball hoop^① by focusing on the right corner of his glasses. His mother said that he was born with cerebral palsy^②. 

On the high school's Senior Night last week, Luke's coach finally called him to play during the final minute of the game. With the teammates already coming to give him a warm welcome, Luke got into position as the crowd cheered him up. 

"I want to get him in. It was Senior Night, the most important moment for every player in the team." the head coach told the reporters, "If there was a chance for him, I would want to take advantage of it."

Once the game was back in play, one of Luke's teammates passed him the ball. Though he had been practising shooting hoops since he was in the third grade, this was the first time he had ever taken a shot on his high school basketball team. He took a deep breath to release the nervous feeling. 

As the watchers waited, Luke took the shot and dropped the ball. It fell through the net, hardly touching the hoop. He made it! In fact, his score helped the team win the game. All his teammates came to hug him, showing great admiration^③ and respect. 

"I heard the watchers calling my name," Luke told the news reporters. "They were jumping and shouting. I still can't believe I was awarded the title of MVP (Most Valuable Player) of this game."

 Tomorrow is Emma' s first day of junior high school. Her mother buys her a new schoolbag. It is red. Emma is excited to have it. She sits on the chair and packs her schoolbag.

 First, she puts her pencil case into the schoolbag. What's in the pencil case? Look. She has two pens and three pencils. She also has an eraser and a ruler. They' re all in her pencil case. She also puts her colour pencils in the pencil case. She can draw pictures with them for her art teacher Mrs Green. Next, she puts her scissors(剪刀) in it. She wants to make cards with them for her friends. Then, she puts all her textbooks in it.

 Emma puts all the school things in her schoolbag. What a great term it can be!
