When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat (变瘪){#blank#}2{#/blank#} 24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.

    The ball is made of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It's lightweight, it's flexible, and—{#blank#}5{#/blank#} important—it holds its shape.

    The One World Futbol needs no pump {#blank#}6{#/blank#} won't wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.

    Although it costs more to produce {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it's been given to kids in 143 countries. 

    Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro-blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, it is a useful way to release their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} ,many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's micro blog will take a lot of time and energy, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}should be used to study.

    In my view, I am greatly in favor {#blank#}4{#/blank#}this activity. Today the Internet is playing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}important and essential role in our life. Therefore as high school students, we need to learn to make use of this {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What's more, opening microblogs need various abilities such {#blank#}7{#/blank#}writing, designing , being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. As a result, we will improve ourselves while {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organize) our microblogs.

    In fact, microblog {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

    Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Halfway through his talk, the speaker stopped and decided {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (create) a group activity. He went around the hall and gave each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write his or her name on the balloon {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) a marker pen. Then all the balloons were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (collect) and put in another room.

    The speaker then led the group to the room full of balloons and asked them to find the balloon {#blank#}4{#/blank#} had their name written on, within five minutes. Everyone was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hurried) searching for their name, bumping into each other, pushing each other around. It was chaos. At the end of the five minutes no one could find {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (them) own balloon.

    Now each person was asked to randomly collect {#blank#}7{#/blank#} balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within two minutes everyone {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (have) their own balloon. When everyone quieted down, the speaker began to talk, saying that this is exactly what was happening in our {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (life)．Everyone is hurriedly looking for happiness, and not knowing where it is.

    Our happiness sometimes lies in the happiness of other people. Give them happiness {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will get your own happiness.

Wayward Penguin(企鹅)Released South of New Zealand

    He needed a little push before speeding backward down a slide. Once in the water, he held his head up for one last look. And then he was gone. The wayward emperor penguin {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (know) as “Happy Feet” was back home in Antarctic waters after a temporary stay in New Zealand.

    Happy Feet was released into the ocean south of New Zealand on Sunday, more than two months after he came ashore on a beach nearly 2,000 miles from home and became an instant celebrity. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (speak) from a satellite phone, Wellington Zoo veterinarian Lisa Argilla said Happy Feet's release went remarkably smoothly. Argilla said crew members from the boat carried the penguin inside his box to the rear part of the ship for his final send-off.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} when they opened the door of the box, the penguin showed no interest in leaving.

    “I needed to give him a little tap on his back,” Argilla said.

    The penguin slipped down the slide on his stomach, bottom first, she said. He resurfaced about 6 feet from the boat, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) a look up at the people aboard, and then disappeared beneath the surface.

    “I was really happy to see him go,” Argilla said. “The best part of my job is when you get to release animals back into the wild {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they are supposed to be.”

    The 3-foot-tall bird was found on June 20 on Peka Peka Beach, about 40 miles northwest of New Zealand's capital, Wellington. It has been 44 years {#blank#}6{#/blank#} an emperor penguin was last spotted in the wild in New Zealand.

    At first, conservation authorities said they would wait and let nature take its course with the penguin. But it soon became clear the bird's condition was growing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad), as he swallowed sand and, likely mistaking it for snow.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the world watching, authorities finally took action, moving the penguin to the Wellington Zoo four days after he was discovered. It was at the zoo {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the bird was given a home in a room filled with a bed of ice so he wouldn't overheat.

    Now that Happy Feet {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (nurse) back to health, his chances are as good as they are for any other penguin in the wild.

    “He swam away, not caring about us anymore,” Argilla said.

She paused.

    “And that is a good thing,” she said.
