Have you ever picked strawberries yourself? The sweet fruit looks nice, but light pressure can make them out shape, so you have to be very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (care) when picking them. Nowadays, there {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) many young people who are just like strawberries. They {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (easy) break down when they face difficulties. There is a name for them –strawberry kids.

 Why are many children so easy to break down? Many students are the only child in their family. Their parents do almost everything for  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}   (they) in their daily life. They hardly ever get criticized (被批评) at home and always feel good about themselves. If these students are criticized strictly by teachers, they {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   (feel) upset and begin to doubt their own abilities. Many schools care more about   {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (student) grades instead of developing their personality. As a result, students get satisfying grades {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  they are not mentally（精神上地）strong enough.

 Young people should learn how ot make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, “Whenever you are in trouble, don't ask for help too quickly. You should try {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  ( deal) with problems first by yourself. Take an active part{#blank#}9{#/blank#}  sports and social activities. That can help you become mentally strong.”

 Growing up is not just a happy process. Pains also go along.  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}   most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

A car stopped outside the Cherry Hotel and a young man got out. Mrs. Smith said to the young man. “What can I do for you, sir?”

“Excuse me,” the young man said, “I am l {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for my uncle. Mr. White. He has been away from home s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} two days ago. I think he is staying here.” “Yes, he is. ” Mrs. Smith said, “But I'm afraid that he went back to London yesterday. ”

“Oh, dear, ” said the young man, looking sad, “I went to his house, but I was t{#blank#}3{#/blank#} by his children that he was going to stay here until the end of the week.”

“Yes, ” said Mrs. Smith. “He wanted to stay here the whole week, but yesterday someone called him saying that one of his friends w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} ill. So he caught the train back to London to see the friend a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} once.”

“He should let me k{#blank#}6{#/blank#} ” the young man said. “I wrote him a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} saying that I was coming. Well, he isn't here. I won't wait any longer.”

The young man thanked Mrs. Smith and went out. Mrs. Smith watched h{#blank#}8{#/blank#} leave. When his car couldn't be seen, she called out, “You can come out now. Mr. White. He's gone.”

Mr. White came out of the bedroom.

“Many thanks, Mrs. Smith. ” he said laughing. “You did very w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} The young man is my nephew (侄子). When he n{#blank#}10{#/blank#} money, he will look for me everywhere. Next time he won't tell me by writing me a letter. ”

You may think there is nothing but sand in the desert of the world, but it is not true. In the desert we can{#blank#}1{#/blank#} stones. We can see hills, too. There is a little rain in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} , but it is not  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  for most plants.
　　The animals are{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to the desert people in many ways. The desert people eat the meat and drink the milk of the animals. They use their skins to  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  shoes, water bags and even tents(帐篷). They use the camels(骆驼) for {#blank#}6{#/blank#} things.
The people of the desert have to keep {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  from places to place. They must always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in the tents. When there is mo more food for their animals, they take down their tents, put them on the camels and move to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} place. The desert people are very  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} . No man in the desert would ever refuse to help the people in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and give them food and water

    In a tree in a jungle, there once lived many birds. They were  h{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in their small nests（鸟巢） and sang every day. Before the rainy season arrived, all the animals in the jungle repaired their homes. The birds a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}made their homes safer.

    Many birds brought twigs （细枝） and leaves and others wove（编织） their nests."We  s{#blank#}3{#/blank#}also store some food for our children," said one of the birds. And they collected food until they had enough to see them through the rainy season. They kept  t{#blank#}4{#/blank#}busy getting ready for the bad times.

    Soon the rain came. It was f{#blank#}5{#/blank#}by thunder and lightning. All the animals and birds stayed at their homes. It kept raining for many days. One day, a monkey wet in the rain came into the jungle. He sat on a branch（树枝）, shaking w{#blank#}6{#/blank#}cold.

    The poor monkey tried his best to get a place, but f{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. The leaves were not enough to save him from the rain."Brrr! Itis so cold!" said the monkey. The birds were watching all this. They felt sorry for the monkey,  b{#blank#}8{#/blank#}there was little they could do for him. One of them said. "Brother! Our small nests are not big enough to give you shelter." Another bird said, "All ofus prepared for the rainy season. If you had, you would not be in this difficult  s{#blank#}9{#/blank#}".

    "How dare you tell me what to do?" said the monkey, shouting at the "bird. The monkey  a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}hit the bird's nest and threw it on the ground. The bird and her babies were helpless.

    The poor birds thought, "Fool never value（重视） good advice. It is better not to advise them ".
