My little dream of book

    I have always wanted to write． {#blank#}1{#/blank#} When Harry Potter came out，I was so fascinated with it．In those books，every wonderful thing was created by ink on a page．

    The problem is that I am not a very good writer．Then I prepared a little black book and it looked very common． {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It started as somewhere to write down all of the interesting experiences．When an idea came into my head，I would write them down．Sometimes the first idea was not such a good one，but it might lead to better ideas．I wrote down 10 ideas，no matter how bad they are． {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ．After that I would develop it into a few pages．

    Now I bring the book everywhere with me． {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ．It is full of colorful thoughts or what the world is like．the world is full of strange things．Every day，there is something special and unusual just waiting to be discovered．

My book is amazing.1t lets me catch all of those small things and catch them before they can go away．So far I have written a great novel and some poems． {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ！For me，this book is more than just words on paper．It is my special wealth．

A. It is more important to me than my mobile phone.

B. I fell in love with writing when I started reading.

C. However, it was a little book of dreams.

D. I never thought I would write poems.

E. Then I picked the best three ideas and wrote a short story.

    Each year millions of new cars are produced in America. Americans will not live without cars! However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution caused by cars. It is necessary to find ways to work out the problem of air pollution.

    One way to clean the air is to build a new kind of clean car. That's what several of the large car factories are trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

    Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on it. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that can make people pleased.

    To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, Americans have to make some changes in the way of their life. They have to cut down on the number of their cars and they are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. But this change does not close down – many workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of their pollution would become less important than that of losing jobs.

    Americans may live a happy but sad life for a long time because of the car problem.

A.     B.     C.     D.     E.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}I usually go to school on foot every week day. And I get to school at 6: 45 am. I have four classes in the morning, I have lunch at school, but I don't like school lunch. In the afternoon, I have three classes. I'm busy but I'm very happy!

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}We have many rules in our school. We can't talk in the library or eat in the classroom. And we can't be late for school. We must clean our classroom every day. Besides, we need to say hello to our teachers when we meet them.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}It is warm and sunny today. Little Sarah is visiting the zoo with her parents. Sarah likes pandas best. She thinks they're cute and lovely. So she goes to the panda house first. She sees a baby panda and says happily, "Hello, little baby!"

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Last weekend, my classmates and I went to the Children's Park. We took some photos at the gate. Then we went into the park. Some of us started to fly a kite, some played games on the grass, and others went boating on the lake. We had a lot of fun!

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}There is a big library near my school. It is our city library. You can find many kinds of books there. I like science, so I like going there on weekends to read science books. There are always lots of children reading books there.

    Li Yaotang is considered to be one of the most important and widely-read Chinese writers in the 20th century. He wrote under the pen name of Ba Jin. Ba Jin started writing his first work in the late 1920s. Li was born in Chengdu. He was born in a rich family of officials. As a child, Li was taught to read and write first by his mother. In 1920, Li entered Chengdu Foreign Language School to study English. Three years later, Li moved to Shanghai and then studied there. In 1927, he went to Paris with his friend for further study. After returning to Shanghai in 1928, Ba Jin continued writing and working on translation. His first novel came out in 1929. Then he wrote a lot of famous novels during ten years. Most of Ba Jin's works could be easily understood by anyone with high school education, which made him one of the easiest modern Chinese writers. Ba Jin died of cancer in Shanghai at the age of 101. His death marked the end of a century for Chinese literature. He was one of the masters of language like Lao She.

    In some Western countries, many children do chores to get pocket money (零花钱).

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}School students have to do homework and study for tests. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} They often do chores on weekends.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} So they don't get much money. But that's enough. Many of them only want to buy candy(糖果). And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor, or feed the pet cat or dog.

    When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.

    Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Of course, their parents help them at first.

A. So they have to work harder!

B. They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.

C. They don't have much free time on weekdays.

D. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook.

E. Young Kids don't need to do chores.

    Do you enjoy reading? Here readers of your age from all over the United States recommend(推荐) great books for you to read:

    My favourite book is Don't Die, My Love, written by Lurlene McDaniel. I love all her books, but this was the first one I read and I have to say, it is by far my favourite. It doesn't end like other books, and I cried while reading.

    I think Nancy Drew is great! Nancy is a detective(侦探) who has many fantastic ideas! I love it because it's a book from when my grandma was my age, and I can share fun with her!

    I recommend Skinny Bones. Its writer is Barbara Park. It is funny, so please add it on your book list. You don't want to miss funny stories!

    I suggest Growing Trouble by Judy Blume. It is based(以......为基础) on real things that happened to Judy Blume. It is about a girl, Alice, who meets some girls at a new state.

    They become friends, make a club and meet once a week. They stop after two weeks because they all like a boy in their class and put him as number one. I think every girl should read this because it is about our growing up.
