Nowadays people collect many things in scrapbooks. Some people have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} /'fʌni/ collections, like the world's most {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(愚蠢的) ideas or pictures of the world's most {#blank#}3{#/blank#} /'ʌɡli/ dogs. It's easy to get started. First, you should decide what you want to collect. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, you will need a book with background paper, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (剪刀) and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} /glu:/. You need to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} out the pictures or stories with these things and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (粘贴) them to the background paper. It will be lots of fun.

    A poor young man went to Paris, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (expect) that his father's friend could help him find a   business for living.

    “Are you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (well ) at maths?” his father's friend asked him.

    The young man shook his head.

    “How is your history?” “What {#blank#}3{#/blank#} your law(法律)?”

    The young man lowered his head {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (sad).

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} his father's friend asked again and again, the young man could shake his head. He {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (him) couldn't find out any advantages.

    “Then write down your address first.”

    The young man wrote his address and turned to leave, but he was stopped by his father's friend. “Your name is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (write) very beautifully, which is your advantage. You shouldn't satisfy yourself with finding a job for living.”

    Many {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (year) later, the young man wrote the classical works that were well-known in the world. He was Alexandra Dumas(大仲马), a famous French writer in the 18^th century.

    In the world, there are many ordinary persons {#blank#}9{#/blank#} all have many small advantages, but they can't find them. In fact, there is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} gold mine(矿井) in every ordinary life. If you are willing to dig, you will dig out treasures that surprise yourself.

    Joe and Jack are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (谈论) about the year 2020. "What will our world be like in the year 2020?" "I don't know," says Jack. "What do you think?" "Well, no one {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (知道), but it's interesting to guess." "In the year 2020, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (千) of people will buy a pocket computer. The computer will {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （改变） people's life. They will give people the answers to all their questions. We shall all have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (电话) in our pockets, too.

    And we'll be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （能够） to talk to our friends all over the world. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (也许) we can see them at the same time." "A lot of people will live and work under the sea. Perhaps there will be big towns, factories and farms under the sea, too." "{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (机器) will do most of the work, so people will have more {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (空闲的) time, perhaps they'll work only two or three days a week. They can fly to the moon by spaceship." "I'm looking forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (参观) the moon!" "And I hope I can live under the sea." says Jack " Won't that be interesting? Just like a fish!"

    A camp called Camp Cooper with over 20 years experience in the camp field, is now a very famous and popular camp in the UK. More and more kids are interested in taking part in this camp during their summer or winter holidays. Here is some information about this camp.

    Camp Cooper is named after a dog called Cooper because the dog also loves camp - there's nothing he loves more than hanging out with campers.

    Camp Cooper makes the parents believe that sending their children to Camp Cooper is sending them to a place where the children will be taken good care of and the kids won't feel lonely at all there.

    Activities are carefully split(分成) into three kinds. The reason they do this is to give campers the chance to focus their time on activities they are interested in. They plan to create the perfect balance for campers to try new activities and develop their skills.

    Creating and developing friendships are the most important part of Camp Cooper. It's believed that creating connections with different people is very important for development, confidence and well-being. People feel the happiest when they are connected to others and the workers here work hard to make sure that everyone is included and feels part of the Camp community.

    Camp Cooper gives students confidence to speak and learn English. The workers also work with each of the students to help the campers become a more confident English speaker.

    It's said that the kids who take part in this camp will go home more confidently and be more willing to try new things.
