Once there was a king and his daughter. The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer made the king very happy. Salt is simple thing, but it is very important. So the king thought his daughter cared a lot about him.
Salt has many uses. Bodies need salt. If we don't have enough, our bodies can't work properly. We put salt on icy roads to make them safe. We also use salt to produce other products, like paper and glass. But for many years, salt's most important job was to protect food. Like other living things, most bacteria(细菌) need water to live. Salt takes in plenty of water, so most bacteria can't live in a salty environment. Therefore, salt protects food and many other things. For much of humans history, this ability has made salt valuable. Every ancient culture from Egypt to China depended on salt. Even today, the hard working usefulpeople are described as "the salt of the earth".
For centuries, salt was also hard to get because its usefulness made it very expensive. Saltcould even be used like money, in fact, the word salary(薪水) comes from the word salt.
Today, salt is used more widely and it still plays an important role in our life.
①p thing or object made by a nature or persons
②d to say what something is like or give a picture of in words
Therefore, salt protects food and many other things.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} It has around 3 billion fans—nearly half the world's population! And about 300 million people play this game. That's 4 percent of the world's population!
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Many people in old days played the early form of this modern game. Cuju(蹴鞠), a ball-kicking game in China, was reported as early as 2, 500 B. C. Around the same time in Greece, people were also playing a similar ball game without using their hands.
But modern soccer didn't become official(官方的)until 1863. An Englishman called Cobb Morley introduced the idea of a soccer association(联盟). {#blank#}3{#/blank#} From then on, other associations in the countries were set up. They came together—to make up the FIFA, which organizes the World Cup.
It's not easy to tell what makes soccer so popular. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Soccer needs only two feet and a ball. This makes it a sport that developing countries can play easily. Some of the sport's best players come from these poor nations.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} The sport's no-hands rule makes beautiful dance—like movements on the field. What's more, this sport excites the heart. Teams might score only a few times each match, so matches can turn around suddenly.
No one knows who will win at the next World Cup. But one thing is certain: The world will be watching.
Subject: Mobile phone problem
Dear Editor,
I am a middle school student. I used to bring a mobile phone with me during school hours. But the teachers think using mobile phone is distraction (分散注意力的事) to students during school hours and also causes so much trouble in class. So now we aren't allowed to bring mobile phones to school.
I find it really inconvenient (不方便的)。 My parents feel unhappy because they can't get in touch with me(不能与我有联系) . But I can't make our school change this rule. What do you think I should do to solve this problem?
