    One day, Jack received a call. It was his mother: "Mr Depp died last night," his mother said. Memories flashed through Jack's mind like an old film. He sat quietly remembering his childhood days. It had been so long since Jack thought of the old man who used to live next door. In fact, he had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his family.

    "Well, he didn't forget you," his mother continued. "Every time I saw him, he'd recall the days you spent with him."

    "He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important," Jack said. "Mum, I'll be there for the funeral."

    Though Jack was very busy, he kept his word. He flew to his hometown. After the funeral, Jack and his mother looked at the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack stopped suddenly.

    "What's wrong, Jack?" his mother asked.

    "The box is gone," he said. "There used to be a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was 'the thing I value most'."

    About two weeks later, Jack received a parcel (包裹). On it, the name Harold Depp caught his attention. He couldn't wait to open it and a small gold box appeared in front of him. In it, there was a beautiful gold pocket watch with a note. Jack's hands shook as he read these words: Jack, thanks for your time! Harold Depp.

    "The thing he valued most…was…my time." Jack held the watch for a few minutes, and then called to cancel his appointments (预约) for the next two days.

    "Why?" Janet, his assistant, asked.

    "I need some time to spend with my mother, wife and son," he said. "Oh, by the way, Janet…thanks for your time!"

    Victor's hobby was collecting stamps. He had stamps from many countries, like England, Canada and China. On his birthday, can you guess what people gave him? That's right-stamps.

    Victor's favourite stamps came from France. He had almost every stamp from 1954 to 2004. He only needed one. That was a 1974 special edition. It was very hard to find.

    He looked for it everywhere. He asked his friends and relatives to help him. But nobody could find the stamp. It made Victor very sad.

    "Don't worry. Never give up," his father said to him. If you have enough patience, you'll find it one day.

    "I hope so," Victor said

    Victor also liked writing. He had a penfriend in France. They wrote to each other every month. Victor's penfriend, Phillip, usually used new stamps to send letters. Sometimes, his mother gave him stamps to use. Once Phillip's mother gave him a big, green stamp. It looked old. When Victor received the letter, he was very surprised. On the envelope, he looked carefully at the stamp. It was the 1974 special edition stamp. Victor was so happy. He told his sister, his mother and his father. "You see," his father said. "You did find your stamp. So it's good to have two things in life."

    "What are they?" Victor asked.

    "Friends and patience," he answered.

    Once there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was said that the island would go down, so all made boats and left except Love.

    Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to offer her help until the last possible moment. When the island had almost gone down, Love decided to ask for help.

    Richness was passing by Love in a great boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

    Sadness was close by, so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh, Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

    Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even notice when Love called her.

    Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love was so excited that she even forgot to ask who the elder was. So Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?" "It was Time." Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"

    Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time understands how valuable Love is."

 Our art club has a trip 1 the zoo on Sunday.

 The zoo is far from our club. It takes 2 about two hours to get there by bus. The zoo is big and beautiful. There are lots of animals in it. I take 3 photos of the animals in the zoo. Now let me 4 you my photos.

Wu Zeyin, 12, comes from Hubei, China. He {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(move) to Botswana with his family eight years ago. "I can see only a few kinds of fruit and vegetables at supermarkets here. They don't look good, but their prices are high," Wu said

Because of the desert climate (气候) in Botswana, it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(true) difficult for farmers there to grow fruit and vegetables. Botswana has to buy lots of fruit and vegetables from other{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(country), such as South Africa. Botswana has been working with China {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(solve) this problem. In July 2022, Botswana started {#blank#}5{#/blank#}program to grow China's water - saving rice. Knowing it, Wu wanted to help with local agriculture (当地的农业) in his way. "I dreamed {#blank#}6{#/blank#}creating an app to help local farmers," Wu said.

Wu has a good brain and he has made his dream come true by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(develop) a new app called Farm Assistant. The app can teach farmers how to grow vegetables such as potatoes, onions, carrots and cabbages. Farmers who use the app can click ( 点 击 ) on a picture of a vegetable to see {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(it) seed (种子) price, watering needs, selling price, etc. After the farmers plant the seeds, the app can remind them {#blank#}9{#/blank#}they need to do at different times. Wu hopes his app can make the farmers' work a lot {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(easy) than before.

What a useful app and what a smart boy!
