Here are some students' New Year's resolutions of 2016.

Hi, my name is Selina. I'm going to do my best at school. I'm going to finish my homework on time. If I need some help with a subject, I'm going to ask my teacher for help.

My name is Dave. I'm going to eat fruit and vegetables every day. I'm going to drink more water and milk. I'm also going to brush my teeth after meals every day.

My name is Tina. I'm going to meet more people and make more friends this year. I'm also going to be friendly to other kids in my class. I'm going to be friendly to kids who need friends—like someone who is shy or new.

I'm Tony. I'll never give out personal information such as my name, home address, school name and telephone number on the Internet. Also, I'll never send a picture of myself to someone or talk with someone online(在网上).

Dave is my friend. His family is rich. His parents always give himlots of pocket money(零用钱). But Dave thinks his parents work very hard and it's not easy forthem to make money, so he always tries to save money. He has some good ways todo it.

Dave likes books. He tells me he often buys books online, because they'recheaper. And when he is free, he often goes to bookshops to do some reading. Davehas a bike. He usually goes to school by bike instead of(代替) taking a bus. Sometimes whenit rains or snows, he walks. These two ways help Dave keep healthy and savemoney.

Dave brings a bottle of water to school every day. When others drinkjuice, he enjoys water. He says water is the cheapest and the best drink.

Some students think Dave is mean(吝啬的). But I don't think so. I think he is right.

Hi, boys and girls! I'm Gina Green. I'm thirteen {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (year) old. I am {#blank#}2{#/blank#} English girl from London. I'm studying in {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(China) now. I like the weather here because it's sunny and warm {#blank#}4{#/blank#} spring. My favourite food is noodles {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my favourite sport is tennis.

I have a friend. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(He) name is Frank. He likes {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(swim). He is good at swimming and he can {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(play) tennis very well. Frank and I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) not in the same class, but we often play tennis on {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (Sunday). He is a good friend. 

Three students are sharing stories about their favorite teachers.

Mingming is a lovely boy. He likes animals very much. His parents take him to Wuhan Zoo{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Sunday. There they can m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} many animals. And family outing is great f{#blank#}3{#/blank#} for them. They like different kinds of animals. Mingming {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( think) monkeys are clever and he likes them best. His father likes tigers best. His mother's favourite animals are pandas. She thinks the black- and- white animals {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( be) very kind and cute. They also s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} penguins, giraffes, elephants and so on. And they take many {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( photo) there. It's r{#blank#}8{#/blank#} for them to do so.

At the end of the d{#blank#}9{#/blank#}, Mingming's parents even buy some souvenirs (纪念品) for{#blank#}10{#/blank#}( he). All of them are very happy in the zoo. Mingming really wants to visit the zoo again.

 Once upon a time, many frogs lived in a pond. There was a king among them. One day, the king frog decided to have a competition." There is a tree near the pond. Whoever climbs to the top of this tree will be the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (win)." he said.

 All the frogs were excited {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) part in the competition. As soon as it started, they began climbing one by one. But many frogs fell down. Some frogs felt sad {#blank#}3{#/blank#} stopped climbing. And some continued. Those who didn't try said," No one can do it. It's impossible." Some frogs heard this, and they {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lose) hope and stopped trying, too. But one frog didn't give up. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (successful) climbed to the top after some tries. All the other frogs were quite {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (surprise). They all wanted to know how he was able to do it.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#} frog who won the competition told them he was deaf and couldn't hear anything. He thought the frogs below were cheering {#blank#}8{#/blank#} him, saying," You can do it." The kind words made him try harder, and finally he could climb to the top.

 This story teaches {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (we)a lesson. We should stick to our {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (goal) instead of listening to negative(消极的) words from others, and then work harder to achieve them.
