One day, Jack's parents told him that his grandpa would retire (退休) after working for forty years. Jack said1, "I'm only seven, so it means my grandpa has been…er…a really long time!"

    His parents said, "Yes. There is a (n)2place in his heart that we don't know how to fill. That's why we are going to have a surprise party for him."

    Jack loved his grandpa and wanted to do something3for him. He remembered the business card his grandpa had given him two years before. He knew that his grandpa would no longer hold the position on that card, so he decided to build a new one for his grandpa.

    When the big night came, Jack was4. He put his gift in a small box. But he didn't want to put his gift together with others'. He carried it around with him the whole5.

    When all the other people6, he took his grandpa's hand and brought him over to a chair and gave him the gift.

    His grandpa smiled, "Well, it must be a beautiful7. May I open it now?" "Sure!" Jack said excitedly.

    As Jack's grandpa opened the gift, tears came into his eyes. He was touched by Jack's gift. Jack gave him the greatest gift he had8got! It was a business card with his new position FULL-TIME GRANDPA! Jack said, "Now your9job is my grandpa."

    "Well10do l get paid?" his grandpa asked, smiling. "As many hugs (拥抱) as you want!" With these words, Jack gave his grandpa a hug. "Well, I guess that means I'm the richest man in the world!" said the grandpa.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (I) name is Xu Kun. I'm a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (China) boy. I'm twelve. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) from Dalian. Dalian is a big city. I'm at No. 2 Middle School. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (we) school is a very good one in Dalian. I'm in Class One Grade Seven. There are 48 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(student)，25 girls and 23 boys. Ms Lin {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) our English teacher. She is from {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (American). She is nice to me. I like English very much. And I'm good at it. LiXia is good at English too. Weare good {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (friend). My father is an English teacher. My mother is a Chinese teacher. My mother and I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) in the same school. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (our) love our school.

Once upon a time, there was a family with 8 children living in a village. Two of the children, both boys, loved painting very much, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the family was so poor that it was impossible to send both of them to study at art school.

After many discussions, the two boys finally came up with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} idea. They would toss (抛) a coin. The loser would go down into the mines (矿井) and support his brother with his pay. Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, in four years, he would pay the school fee for the other brother {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (study) at the college.

One of the brothers, Albrecht Durer, won the toss and his brother Jack went down the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (danger) mines. Durer worked with all his heart and his paintings were much better than those of most of his {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (teacher). He made a lot of money for his paintings.

Durer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (return). When he told Jack he could go to art college, Jack said {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (quiet), "The four years in the mines has done too much to my hands. It is too late. Now I can't even hold a glass."

To show his love to his brother, Durer drew his brother's hands {#blank#}8{#/blank#} palms (手掌) together and thin fingers towards the sky. He called his drawing simply Hands, but the whole world almost quickly opened their {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (heart) to the great work and renamed it The Praying Hands.

The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, take a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (two) look. Let it be your reminder: No one can ever succeed alone!

Hi! Oliver,

How are you? I want to tell you something about my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to the city space museum two days ago. I never visited there before, so I was very excited! When my sister and I arrived, we started to explore. It's very large and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} interesting and exciting objects to touch.

The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} room looks like deep space. There is information about different planets with a game at the end. The winner can create a name for a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Isn't that exciting?

The next room looks like the inside of a spaceship. You can touch an astronaut's spacesuit and you can see {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the astronauts prepare their food.

Gui Haichao is a university teacher, mainly studying space at Beihang University.  His dream of flying to space has now come true. 

On May 30th morning, the Shenzhou-16 went into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre (酒泉卫星发射基地) in northwest China. 

In 2018, China began to select the astronauts.  Unlike past choices, this time, astronaut s were chosen in three kinds: space pilots, space engineers, and payload specialist (载荷专家).  Gui becomes the first payload specialist to enter space.  During the Shenzhou-16 task, he will manage the payload for space science experiments. 

Gui grew up in a common family in Yunnan Province.  His interest in space began at the age of 17 when he turned on the school radio and heard the news of Yang Liwei's space travel in 2003.

Over the past few years, Gui has been trained to use difficult equipment (设备) and do experiments in space.  However, the training way was a big problem for him.  "I felt very sick after the space training," he said.  "So I added more exercises, learned from other astronauts, and tried some of the training methods used by pilots.  Finally, my physical ability slowly improved. "

As a sports lover, Gui found happiness in training activities.  And because he had the habit of doing sports, he was able to keep up with this difficult training.  His spirit of not being afraid of difficulties in realizing his dream made him successful.  Although he wore glasses, he was able to become an astronaut.
