At just age 16, Zhen Xin, from Beijing, finished the "Five Great Mountains Challenge" in August—in only five days. She became the 1 person to do it.

The Five Great Mountains Challenge is about climbing China's five greatest mountains—Taishan Mountain in Shandong, Huashan Mountain in Shaanxi, Songshan Mountain in Henan, Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi, and Hengshan Mountain in Hunan—in 100 days.

2 the hot August weather, Zhen did most of her hiking at night."When you can't see what's coming next, many of your3 and worries go away, You're less likely to back down," Zhen explained.

Zhen said the key 4 hiking is one's mentality. Whenever she came across a vendor booth(货摊) along the hiking road, she would 5 herself to carry on until the next one. And whenever she felt she was about to 6 she would reward herself with a drink or some snacks.

Of all the moutains she climbed, Huashan Mountain stood out as her favorite due to its steeper trails(更陡峭的小径). " They're more 7 than those of the other four mountains," she said. But instead of making her afraid, the challenge 8  her concentration(专注力)。

However, Zhen said the most daunting(令人生畏) like was climbing Taishan Mountain. It was due to the largest tourist rush she had ever seen. "We could only move up one step every five 9 or so, " she recalled.

Zhen decided to climb the five great mountains when she finished middle school. "I wanted something that would allow me to 10 see my growth and changes over time. As I grow older, I want something to share with others," she said.

My name is Gina. I'm twelve. I have some 1 . They are Mike, Jack. Mary and Kate. We are in Yuying Junior High School. This is 2 Green. He is our English 3 . We like him very much. This is4 classroom. You can see many(许多)desks in the classroom. They are green. I like the 5 very much . A blackboard(黑板)and a6 of China are on the wall(墙). On the desk you can7 some pencils. The red one is8 . The green one is Kate's. Mary's pencil isn't there. Her pencil is in her9 . Look! This is my desk. You can see some 10 on it. They are my new books. 

I met Miss C about 45 years ago. Back then, she was my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(sister) kindergarten teacher. I used{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(wish) I was her student when I looked into her classroom. Miss C {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(create) a safe place where children could be whatever they wanted to be. But my parents and sister told me I could start school when I was 4.

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be{#blank#}4{#/blank#}teacher. When I graduated, I couldn't wait to invite Miss C to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students'{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (face) when they learned with her. After that, she often volunteered in my classroom. Over the years, we have shared our ups and downs{#blank#}6{#/blank#}each other. She asks me about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.

I am here in her house now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement (地下室).I find papers about the ABC letters. I find my own name, too.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (sudden), my mind goes back to Room 3.

Many years ago, Miss C sat on a chair while my classmates and I sat on the carpet. We learned about the letters. Now. Miss C and I sit on the chairs in her house, and we talk for hours. I listen carefully {#blank#}8{#/blank#}I know I still have more to learn from her.

It's amazing to meet a teacher{#blank#}9{#/blank#}can both teach you knowledge and support you in your life.{#blank#}10{#/blank#} lucky I am! Our friendship is one that neither of us expected.

Pinocchio had a fever. The Fairy took a glass of water with medicine and said lovingly to Pinocchio, "Drink this, and you'll be up and well. "

Pinocchio looked at the glass worriedly and said, "I'd rather die than drink that awful medicine. "

At that moment the door of the room flew open and came in four Rabbits as black as ink， carrying a small black coffin（棺材）on their shoulders. 

"What do you want?" asked Pinocchio. 

"We have come for you, " said the largest Rabbit. 

"Oh, Fairy, my Fairy, " the Pinocchio cried out. "Give me that glass! Quick, please! I don't want to die！＂ And holding the glass with his two hands he swallowed（吞下）the medicine quickly. Then the rabbits had to leave. 

After that， the Fairy added，"Pinocchio，tell me how you were in the hands of the robbers（盗贼）last time. "

"I had five gold pieces to give to my Father, but on the way I met two robbers. They tied my neck with a rope and hung me to a tree. " said Pinocchio. 

"Where are the gold pieces now?" the Fairy asked. 

"I lost them, " answered Pinocchio. As he spoke, his nose became at least two inches longer. 

"And where did you lose them?"

"In the wood nearby. " At this second lie his nose grew a few more inches. 

"If you lost them in the nearby wood, " said the Fairy, "we'll look for them and find them. "

"Ah, now I remember, " replied Pinocchio, "I did not lose the gold pieces, but I swallowed them. "

At this third lie, his nose became longer than ever. The Fairy sat looking at him and laughing. 

"Why do you laugh?" Pinocchio asked her, worried now at the sight of his growing nose. 

"I am laughing at your lies. "

"How do you know I am lying?"

"Lies, my boy, are known in a moment. There are two kinds of lies, lies with short legs and lies with long noses. Yours, just now, happen to have long noses. "
