I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was 1 the teddy bears beside her father 2 she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokemon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand. However, it looked no more than five dollars at most. He was with his father, and kept picking up the Pokemon video games. Each time he showed 3 to his father, his father shook his head, "No".

    Rather disappointed, the boy gave up the video games and chose a book of stickers 4. After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokemon video games. She excitedly picked up one 5 on top of the others, and ran toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases（购买物）and 6 the girl and her father.

    Then, much to the little girl's satisfactory（满意）, the little boy and his father got in line 7 her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier（收银员）and said something to her in a low voice. The cashier smiled and put the 8 under the counter（柜台）. I was putting things in my bag when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, "Congratulations, you're my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!" and she handed the boy the Pokemon game. The boy could hardly believe his ears. It was, he said, 9 what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and prettiest smile on that little girl I have seen in my life.

    I suddenly understood that the world is not 10 into the strong who care and the weak who are cared for. We must each in turn care and be cared.

Last year, George's family went to Paris for the summer holiday. George was very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (兴奋的) about the news.

What a fantastic trip he had! 

I know how hard it is to make friends in a new school. I once joined the football team and the music club in my school of Toronto. I was very popular at that time and made a lot of friends. It made me very happy and my school life was very great.

Everything became different when I was 16 years old, because my parents decided to move to    Florida. Who can quickly adapt to (适应) a completely strange environment? So changing to a new   school was not easy for me. At the beginning, days in the new school were much more different than I thought. The class schedule (时间表) was different, and the teachers and students were strange and fresh to me. Some kids tried to be nice to me, but I was afraid to have a talk with them.

After staying in the new school for a few weeks, I realized that no one tried to communicate with me anymore, so I began to feel lonely. Two months later we had a course that required teamwork. Then, all the students came to study and even tried to help each other. I realized that they were hard-working and friendly just like me. I began to make friends with them. Several years later, we still keep in touch with each other and they have become a great treasure to me.

Sometimes, if we can't change the environment around us, change ourselves in time. And try to get used to the life in different places.

Today is Sunday but Jack is going to school. He goes to tennis school. The tennis lessons will start1 ten o'clock. Jack is very 2 because his tennis teacher，Ms Brown，is a great teacher. She wants 3 Jack to be stronger and play better. 

Ms Brown tells Jack if he has4 good rest，eats healthy food and practises hard every day，he can 5 very strong and good at6 tennis. Jack believes her. He decides to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and go to bed 7 every night. He also exercises a lot. 

In Jack's town，there isn't a public（公共的） place to play tennis8 Jack can't play tennis every day. Jack and his friend Emily often go 9 in the park after school. 

Next month，Emily will take tennis lessons 10 Jack. Jack is glad to hear about this ﹣ they can go to tennis school together!

There are two thousand and two hundred students at Yuying Middle School. Every day they go to school in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ways. Some students {#blank#}2{#/blank#} far from the school. Every morning they need about an{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to get to school, so they must take buses. Some students live {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the school. They often{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to school. They think walking is good for {#blank#}6{#/blank#} health. About one hundred students ride their bikes to school because they like {#blank#}7{#/blank#}bikes very much and their homes are not very far from the school. No one goes to school {#blank#}8{#/blank#} car, because it will waste parents' time. How about the teachers? Well, some teachers always drive to school {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they live about ten kilometers from school. Some teachers live near the school, so they just get to school on{#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

I have been a writer for the school newspaper the Dagligtale, since my first day here at the University of Alberta. I probably won't work as a reporter after I finish university, but this doesn't mean my experience as a reporter has been useless. In fact, I have learned something important through this job.

I still remember my first news story. It was about the winning of the school baseball team. I came to the celebration and was told to do some interviews (采访). I was afraid. Talking to people I don't know was one of my worries. But I tried my best and did it. I talked to the students, the players and the team leader. It was something I had never dreamed of doing before. This experience made me believe in myself and helped me to improve my social skills (社交技能).

As a student reporter, I have learned to do research and to think carefully about what I read. Finding out the facts is important when you are writing for the school newspaper, but in the Information Age, this is also a useful skill in everyday life.

As a student reporter, I always know that I have a lot to learn. I'm never afraid of asking people for advice. I have learned how to use it to make improvements to myself.

To be a reporter is not easy, but I'm thankful that I have had the chance (机会) to try my hand at it. It has taught me to be a better storyteller, student and citizen. If you are ever given a chance to write for a school newspaper or magazine, take it and learn everything you can!
