This was a very interesting story. I 1 thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But one class was 2 of all.

    It happened last term just after I had got a bad result in 3 exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided 4 to a class 5 can tell me how to be successful. The speaker walked into the room. 6 he did not start talking like a teacher. Instead, he held up a twenty yuan note!

    "Who wants this?" he asked. Unsurprisingly, 7 of us in the class held up our hands. The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we put up our hands. The speaker kept 8, but said 9 . Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same question for  10time.

    I didn't understand the speaker. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn't know 11 to do. I wanted the note, so I put my hand up again. "You have all just told me how to become successful." He said to us 12 the note in his hand. "The note is worth twenty yuan. It is always worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter what happens to you, you still have your worth."

    Hearing those words, I 13 deeply. Suddenly, I realized I was worth a lot. I may have failed, but it doesn't mean I 14 do well in the future. If I believe in15I will be successful!

There are seven chickens at my home. I gave them all names and they are my good 1 . You may think that taking care of chickens is 2 , but sometimes chickens have minds of their own. If you show interest in keeping 3 , there are a few things you need to know.

Everything has its order. Chickens 4  have the pecking (啄食) order. The order goes from the strongest, biggest chicken to the smallest, 5  chicken. And it is the ranking (排位) of all the chickens. The chickens 6  this order on their own. Putting chickens together is not easy. You have to make sure they all eat the same food. Otherwise, you have to keep 7  apart.

You must pay more attention to baby chicks. You need to give very good 8  to them, so they can stay 9  and become immune (免疫的). You also need a 10  for them to stay in your house and a special feeder and water holder. 11  you take good care of the chicks, you can get day-old chicks. Also, you should remember to 12  the pen (鸡圈)，so neighbors don't complain (抱怨).

You just have to know what you are doing and always be prepared. Chickens can bring families 13 . They can make family members happy. They are fun and humorous, beautiful and loving. They are also smart. It's amazing how 14  they learn things on their own.

So why not consider 15  some of your own feathered (有羽毛的) friends?

Li Hua and Wang Tao are two students of Class 4, Grade 7. They both like sports. Li Hua is a basketball fan. His favorite sport is playing basketball. Yao Ming is his favorite basketball player. He wants to be a basketball player like Yao Ming when he grows up. Li Hua is on the school basketball team now. Every Friday afternoon, Li Hua plays basketball with his classmates after class.

Li Hua's friend Wang Tao isn't good at basketball, but he is very good at soccer. Ronaldo is his favorite soccer player. Wang Tao is on the soccer team. He plays soccer with his teammates (队友) every Tuesday afternoon.

Today tourism (旅游业) has become one of the fastest growing industries (产业) in most places of the world. Why do more and more people like {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (travel)? We visited some people and asked them about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (they) answers. Most of the reasons {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) just for fun. For example, after working hard through the weekdays, people would like {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (go) to the mountains or beaches nearby. When they come back from their trip, they will {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(usual) feel fresh and be full of energy to work harder.

Travelling is also one of the best {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (way) to learn. You may read or know about something from the Internet, but you can never get {#blank#}7{#/blank#} picture of it until you see it with your own eyes. You {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (learn) much during your travel if you spend some time getting useful information, such as the geography and history of the places you are visiting. Though you may do well {#blank#}9{#/blank#} many subjects at school, there is still a lot to learn through travelling. 

Let's make a plan and have an {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (amaze) trip right now! 

Friends are very important in people's lives. Some have1 views and interests, but2 like the same things. Should friends be different3 the same? In my opinion, I don't care. I have two best friends, Wang Lei and Lin Ying. Wang Lei4 like me. I am5 than most of the students in my class, and Wang Lei is also quiet. And we both enjoy6 . On weekends, we often go to the library to do some reading. But the other friend of mine, Lin Ying, is7 different from me. She is much more outgoing, and she likes8 and often makes me laugh. She also likes9 , so she is more athletic（体格健壮的）. I don't think differences are important in a10 . What's your opinion?
