Tom woke up on Monday morning, he felt 1. He always felt sick on Monday morning. He had to go to school for five 2 every week! He almost wished there were no weekends. 3 was even more difficult for him to go back to school!

    He 4 in bed and wondered what excuse he could make this time. He looked at his body, but could find 5 wrong. A little headache? 6. He had used that excuse many times. Then he realized that one of his teeth was loose(松动). Good! He was just going to start groaning（呻吟）7 he thought that Aunt Polly would pull the tooth out. That would 8! He looked for something else. Suddenly he remembered what the doctor had said about a certain problem with his toes（脚趾）. He pulled his right foot out and looked at it. 9 of the toes was really hurting. Tom began to groan.

    "What is 10 with you?" Aunt Polly asked.

    "My toe hurts."

    The old lady fell into the chair, 11 a little, "Tom, you frighten me. Now shut up at once and get out of 12."

    Tom felt like a thief being caught. "Well, it seems all right. It hurts so much 13 I forgot my teeth. One of them loses and it hurts 14."

    "No problem," answered Aunt Polly. "I can pull it out."

    "Please, Auntie! Don't pull it out. It has15 hurting. Please!"

    "No way! Well, you will have your tooth out or you will go to school."

    Everyone has dreams. Lily dreamed of being a dancer. She took 1  lessons and all her teachers thought she was an excellent student.

    One day she saw a notice. It said that a famous dancing group would be performing in her town. 2 though, “I must show the leader my dancing skills.” She waited for the group leader in the dressing room. 3 the leader appeared, she came up and hander him the flowers she prepared. The thorns (刺) hurt her fingers and blood came out. But she was too  4 to care about the pain. She expressed her strong wish to be a dancer and begged (乞求) to show her dance.

    “All right, you dance.” The leader agreed. But half way through the dance, he stopped her, “I'm sorry, in my mind you're not good enough!” On hearing this, Lily  5 out as fast as her legs could carry her. It was so hard for her to accept this. She lost heart and 6 her dream.

    Several years later, the dancing group came to her town again. She decided to find out 7the leader had told her she was not good enough.

    This was his reply, “I tell this  8 every student.”

    “You've ruined (毁掉) my life!” she shouted angrily.

    The leader went on, “I remember your present of  9and how the thorns had hurt your fingers but you carried on bravely. It was a pity that you didn't take dancing like that and stopped trying so  10 . So you are still not good enough for dancing!”

Feb. 17 should have been the start of the spring semester for many middle and primary schools in China. However, to control the spread of the COVID-19, many schools had delayed the start of the semester, following instructions from the Ministry of Education (MOE). But students in China were still studying.

Instead of having classes at school, many students in Beijing and Guangzhou began their first day of online classes on Feb 17. Students in Shanghai started online classes on March 2. "In the morning, I have English class, followed by Chinese and math, " Liu Bo, a Junior 3 student from Beijing, told Xinhua. "I have also learned about epidemic(流行病) prevention. "

According to the MOE, students were mainly taking classes to review previous knowledge rather than taking new classes during the online study period. Online courses were required to include contents about epidemic prevention, psychological health (心理健康) and educational activities (教育活动).

"Online courses are only temporary measures (暂时的措施) taken during the epidemic, so when the new semester begins, schools should not replace(替代) classroom teaching with online classes, " Lu Yugang from the ministry told China Daily.

The ministry also called on schools not to increase their students' schoolwork burden(负担). Schools should not ask students to study online for long periods of time or study things beyond( 超出) their curriculum(课程). Students must have enough time to rest, the ministry added. Also, it stressed that protecting students' eyesight must be a priority(优先).

I had my first job at the age of thirteen.I was very1 to make my own pocket money.My parents 2 interfered （干涉） with how I spent it，even when I was spending it foolishly.They3 that by making money，spending it，and learning from the mistakes，I would grow up and become more responsible. 

Like many 4 parents，my parents also let me and my brothers do things although they worried a great deal.When I was sixteen，I wanted to spend the summer months 5 around Europe.My mother was6 the idea that I went for a trip alone at such a young age.But my father felt that it would be a great 7 for me.In the end，my mother agreed that I could only travel to France，8 it was my mother's home.And I had many uncles，aunts who could 9 help if I need them. 

Three years later，my younger brother decided to take a 10 off after his first year in university.Again my mother was very worried and not happy to see my brother leave his 11 .But my father encouraged him and my brother had a（n）12 year working his way on trains and ships to different places. 

These kinds of experiences are probably impossible for children in many countries，but in the US they are quite13 .Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves.By the time 14 have finished high school，many American kids have already had part-time jobs and traveled on their own.Maybe they have chosen the university and even 15 their future job and so on.

Do you know Yunnan? I visited it during the last summer holiday with my parents. Now let me tell you something about the beautiful place. 

Yunnan is in the southwest of China. It took us about eight days to travel around Yunnan. First, we visited Kunming. Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province （省）. In Kunming, Stone Forest（石林）is very famous. I enjoyed it a lot and did not think of leaving. 

Then, we went to Dali. Dali is about 300 kilometers away from Kunming. Its pleasant weather made us feel comfortable. Dali has a very long history. It is famous for Erhai Lake. The water in the lake is very clean. 

Finally, we took a bus to Lijiang. It is not far from Dali. There are many other places of interest to visit in Yunnan. We enjoyed ourselves there. We also enjoyed Yunnan rice noodles. They were really delicious and famous. I think if you want to visit Yunnan, you can go there any time in a year, because it has suitable （适 宜的） temperature all year round.
