I'm Bob. I work at night from Monday to Thursday. So in the daytime (白天), I often sleep for at least 7 hours. Then I get up, have some food and watch TV. I usually watch TV for more than two hours every day. At 7:00 p.m., I go to work by bike.

But on weekends, my life is different. I usually sleep at night and do different activities in the daytime. For example, last weekend was quite full for me. On Saturday morning, I went to learn dance. I have dance lessons once a week. In the afternoon, I went to play basketball with my friends. We played for three hours and felt excited. I thought it was good for my health. On Sunday morning, I drove to the dentist for teeth cleaning. In the afternoon, I went to the movies with my friend, Tom. I thought the movie was interesting, but Tom thought it was difficult to understand (理解).

    I'm not much of a crier most of the time. But {#blank#}1{#/blank#} when I was reading a book on a plane, I started crying. Of course, it came as a big surprise when tears came up, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} myself.

    Oh no, not this now. I thought to myself. But even as the thought entered my brain. I felt the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} hot drop of salty water coming down my face. I put my head down, hoping that I could go on reading.

    In fact, the harder I tried, the more tears pushed their way out of my eyes. You could guess how surprised the man next to me looked.

    My head {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in shame. He must think I was crazy. Maybe I could turn towards him, hold up the cover of the book and say in my crying voice. "I'm sorry, sir. It's just a really good book!" But I didn't, say anything. Instead, I just put my head back against the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and let the tears run. Do you know what decision I made while I was crying? My decision was that it was OK if he thought I was crazy. I preferred to be crazy instead of being the kind of person who wouldn't cry when the situation called for it, or who wouldn't let {#blank#}6{#/blank#} feel anything at all.

    I've been that girl who has spent so much time trying to make sure people didn't think f was crazy. But now I don't want to be that girl any more —that bored and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} girl. I'd rather {#blank#}8{#/blank#} this girl who is able to forgive (原谅), love and act, even if it means being disappointed or being hurt again and again.

Little George lived in a poor village. One summer afternoon, George's mother sent him to the field to pick up some dried wood for the fire.

By the time the sun was high, George was very 1 and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked on, he found some shade (阴凉处), and by it were some fine, wild 2 .

"How good these will be with my bread and butter," thought George. He 3 all of the strawberries and couldn't wait to lift one of them to his mouth. Suddenly he remembered his sick 4 , alone in her dark, cold room in the village. 

With this in mind, he put the strawberry back again. "Shall I save them for her?" he asked himself. He thought how refreshing (提神的) they would be for her, but was still 5 them with a longing (渴望的) eye. "I will eat half, and take the other half to her," he said. He divided them into 6 parts, but each part looked so small. He put them together again. 

"I will only eat one," he thought. 

But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the 7 , and he put it back. 

When the sun was beginning to sink, George left for home. How 8 he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother. 

He heard his mother's faint (虚弱的) voice calling him. "Is that you, George? I'm glad you've 9 . I'm thirsty, and am longing for some tea."

George ran to her and joyfully offered the strawberries. 

"And you saved them for your sick mother, didn't you?" she said, laying her hand 10 on his head, with tears in her eyes.

David was a bit too fat. He went to buy an exercise machine. He tried to 1 some weight(减肥).

At first, he put it in the basement (地下室).2 he did not use it often. He hardly (几乎不) went into the basement.

Next, he moved it into his 3 . But he still didn't use it very often. That's because he would only go into the bedroom when it was time for him to go to 4 . Finally, he moved it 5 the living room. He put the machine next to the 6 . His wife thought maybe this would finally work. He could exercise and 7 outside at the beautiful garden at the same time.

After about a week, his wife 8 David how his exercise was going. He said," Well, yes, I do 9 exercise these days. Every time I want to10 the window, I have to walk around the exercise machine."

Chinese tennis player Zheng Qinwen has made Olympic history. She became the first Chinese player to win an Olympic tennis singles gold medal on August 3^rd, 2024. Now she is known as "Queen Wen" online. 

The 21-year-old tennis star was born in a sports family in Shi Yan, China. When she was a child, she liked exercising. When she went out with her father, she always walked or ran instead of taking the bus. She said, "Walking and running are good exercise. They make me healthy. And I can attend(参加) the Olympics when I'm older. "At the age of eight, her father took her to Beijing to watch the Olympics, she showed great interest in tennis. After getting back, she left home and began to train tennis in Wu Han. "My father, I didn't see him for more than one year because during my childhood I didn't have much time to spend with the family together. " Zheng Qinwen shared. 

One of her biggest inspiration(激励) was tennis legend Li Na. Li Na became the first Chinese player to win Grand Slam Singles title(大满贯单打冠军) in 2011. Zheng told the Tennis Channel how important it was for her. "Li Na won her first Grand Slam and I started thinking, ‘Oh, Asian (亚洲) players can also do something good in tennis. ' And then I think that she put a little seed(种子) in my heart that I also want to do it. I want to be like her, even better. " She was also inspired by one of the greatest tennis players Roger Federer, playing at the 2008 Beijing Games. 

Zheng made her first WTA(国际女子网球协会) debut in 2021. She broke into(闯进）the top 100 in 2022. Since then, she has made a Grand Slam final and ranked(排名) as high as No. 7 in the world. And with her winning at the Olympic, more and more Chinese begin to play tennis. 

Susan is my cousin. She is my1 daughter. 

Susan's father and mother 2 doctors in a hospital. Her father is tall3 handsome. He works hard. He likes reading and he usually 4 different books at night before bed. Susan's mother spends much time 5 . She is kind to the patients(病人) in the hospital and they all like 6 . 

Susan's family has a big house. 7 a garden and six rooms. My grandparents live 8 them. They are old and they 9 work. They like gardening. On weekends, I often visit my grandparents and play 10 soccer with Susan. We have a great time.
