Katherine Commale is a 12-year-old girl from Pennsylvania. At the age of five, she learnt that {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Africa malaria (疟疾) killed a child every 45 seconds. She also learnt that people wouldn't get malaria if they slept in a bed net (蚊帐). The cost of a bed net {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) 10 dollars at that time.

    "It made me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sad) to know about those poor children," Katherine says. "I wanted {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (raise) money to buy bed nets for African Children." So she had a good idea.

    Five-year-old Katherine {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) speeches at churches and schools. She showed people how important bed nets were for African families. After {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (listen)to her speeches, many people donated (捐献) money. Katherine sent the money to Nothing But Nets. That organization sent bed nets to Africa.

    Besides, Katherine had {#blank#}7{#/blank#} good idea soon. She decided to make gift certificates (礼券 )to sell for the Christmas holiday. On each 10-dollar certificate there was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} message. It explained that a bed net would be sent to Africa. With the help of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (she) brother and friends, she got more and more certificate orders.

    Katherine has helped raise more than $200，000 for Nothing But Nets.

    "It makes me happy to help African children," says Katherine. "I won't stop {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (work) until everyone in Africa has a bed net."

Dear Cindy,

    How are you？I had a great time last Monday, June 2th, 2014.It was a traditional Chinese festival {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call) Dragon Boat Festival that day.

    This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of the greatest Chinese poets. He killed himself by {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (jump) into the Miluo River on May 5th of the lunar calendar, 278 BC. People there rowed the boats {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (save) him. But it was too late. They were very sad and then threw rice into the river to feed the fishes so that they would stay away from his body.

    From then on, every year on this day, people enjoy making Zongzi which {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) of rice with meat, eggs and so on. In the past we  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eat) it only once a year, but now we regard it as our daily food. We can have it any time we like.

    Have you ever {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (watch) the dragon boat race on TV？It is another important part of this festival. Several teams row their dragon shaped boats as fast as they can. The first team to reach the finish line {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (win).

    If you have a plan to visit China next year, would like to spend this festival with us?

    Best wishes!

Yours,

Shen

    Pablo and I were walking home from playing football. On the way, I told him that our school needed{#blank#}1{#/blank#}football team. At once, Pablo suggested, "Why not run for(竞选) class president so that you can set one up?"

    "Who would want{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(I)?" I asked, surprised at the idea.

    Pablo made a list of the reasons: I was the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(good) student of all in sports and lessons; I was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(friend) to everybody. When I told him running for president would be much work, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(promise) that he would help me.

    I did run, and Pablo did help me. First, we made posters to hang in the hallway. Next, Pablo helped me{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(write)a speech about why I'd make a good class president.

    The big day came. I gave my speech in front of the whole grade, promising my {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(classmate) that if they chose me, I'd start a football team.

    As Pablo and I nervously waited{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the results, I was told that my speech was so successful{#blank#}9{#/blank#}I was the right person to be class president.

    Now we went {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy) to Coach Simpson and asked how I could start our new football team.
