Jack and Eason were walking through the forest. They knew that it was dangerous to do this because many wild animals live in the forest. As friends, they agreed that they would stay together and help each other if there was any danger.

    All of a sudden, they saw a large bear running toward them. Jack climbed a nearby tree. He didn't think about his friend at all.

    Unluckily, Eason did not know how to climb. He could only lie down on the ground. He held his breath and pretended(假装) to be dead.

    The bear came close to Eason. He smelled the man for a moment and left. You see, bears do not eat dead animals or people.

    After the bear walked away, Jack climbed down and went to Eason on the ground.

    "Are you okay? Did the bear hurt you? If only you could climb a tree," he said, not knowing that he didn't' follow their agreement(约定).

    Eason then answered, "Do you know what the bear told me? He told me do not believe afalse friend!"

Online classes in space got lots of attention among Chinese students. The "classroom" in space station is about 400 kilometres away from the earth. The space classes make the young proud of our country. As a special "teacher", Wang Yaping is regarded as （看作）"the most beautiful astronaut（宇航员）. 

Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects, especially sports. Luckily, in 1997, she was accepted by Changchun Flight Academy. 

Wang's space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, "China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?" At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights （飞行）for 1, 600 hours during nine years in the training centre, Wang was a strong candidate （候选人）to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, Wang realized her space dream. She was sent to space by Shenzhou— 10. She joined the team of Shenzhou— 13 in 2021 and flew into the space for the second time. 

However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain that most people can't stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, "The space environment won't change because you are a woman. " She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull— ups and barbells（杠铃）. That finally made her dream come true. 

"You are on the way to success as long as you stick to your dreams, " Wang Yaping said. She set a good example to the young. Millions of students are encouraged and inspired（受鼓舞）by the most beautiful astronaut. 

Many years ago, there was a family named Franklin. They lived in Boston. There were five girls and six boys in the family. On a January day in 1706, another baby boy was born. The boy's parents gave the boy a name—Benjamin.

Benjamin was the 1 of all the children. He could read when he was five and he could write when he was seven. The next year his parents sent him to school.

At school Benjamin was good at reading and writing, but not good at Maths. He read all of his father's books. And when he had money, he always went to buy 2 . He liked books because they told him how to do something. The boy liked to use his head and tried to 3 ways to help people enjoy life more. For example, he tried to know if there were some ways to swim farther, maybe with something on his hands or 4 . Slowly a picture of swimming shoes grew in his 5 . They must be neither too big nor too small. And they must be neither too heavy nor too light. At last, he 6 the flippers（脚蹼）for swimming.

Electricity was one of the things Benjamin experimented with when he stopped working. He discovered that lightning（闪电）and electricity were the same thing. The lightning rod（避雷针）was a(n) 7 invention that we still use today. It can 8 buildings and ships from lightning damage.

Franklin preferred to have his inventions used 9 for everyone. He was not only an inventor, but also a writer, an educator, a politician and so on. He made great achievement in different areas. Thomas Jefferson, the third president of America, called Benjamin Franklin "the 10 man of the age and country in which he lived".

Hi! I'm Lingling. I'm 12 years old. I live in Sichuan {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my parents.

Sichuan has many different {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (kind) of tea. My dad enjoys {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (drink) tea very much. Sometimes, he asks me, "Lingling, would you like {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (have) a cup of tea with me?" I always say no, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (/bɪˈkɒz/ ) I don't like the bitter taste (苦味).

This evening, Dad makes tea again. Dad {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (put) some tea leaves (茶叶) in a cup and then some hot water into it. The tea leaves open slowly (慢慢展开). Then the water turns brown. It's like {#blank#}7{#/blank#} beautiful Chinese painting.

I take a cup and taste the tea. I find the tea tastes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (well). I am {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (interest) in tea, too.

I think life is just like a cup of tea. Things around {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (we) are like the hot water and we are like the leaves. The leaves can only let out a great taste through hot water.
