Long, long ago there lived an old man. He had a very big orange tree in his garden. On the tree there were many fine{#blank#}1{#/blank#} .

    One day the old man found one of the oranges was bigger than the others. It was as big as a watermelon. So he took the biggest orange to the king. The king was very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and gave the old man a lot of money for it.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a rich man heard of this, he said to himself, "It is only an orange. Why did the king give him so much money? If I take my gold cup to the king, he will give me much more money for it. "

The next day when the king got the gold cup, he said to the rich man, "What a beautiful cup! l'll give you {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for it. Please take the great orange. "

    In America, the school life is not easy for us students. There are so many rules we have to follow. When we start school, we get a rule book. There are always teachers looking out for people who are breaking the rules and prefects (长官) are everywhere too.

    The most rules are in the classroom and in the hallways. For example, you can't run or dance around in the hallways. We can't put our bags everywhere in the hallways.

    You can't eat or drink in the classroom or the hallways. Prefects watch you, They can give out duty slips (cleaning the dining hall for about 2 hours).

    If you make mistakes, you will get a detention. You may have to do some work for school. A detention is the most painful. You have to do a lot of tiring and boring things. There are rules for students out of school as well. Boys should not buy take away food in the street if they wear the school uniforms. The school also expects good behavior on public transport and in public places.

Allan is a doctor. He is taking notes about the lifestyles of two children, Angela and Andy.

Angela: The girl looks healthy. She knows how to keep fit. She gets up early even(即使) at week-ends. And enough exercise makes her fit. She doesn't eat fast food very often.

But sometimes she eats snacks between meals. Are most girls greedy(嘴馋的)? She should eat fewer snacks. They are not good for her. She can eat more fruit between meals.

Andy: Andy likes sports. He is good at swimming and football. He does sports for over one hour every day. That makes him fit and strong.

But Andy is a picky eater. He doesn't eat enough meat for meals. So he is not tall. And he has another problem—sleeping in(睡过头，迟起床). He gets up too late on Saturdays and Sundays.

To get enough energy, Andy should get up early and eat more meat.

The winter holiday is coming. There are so many things I am looking forward to doing! I can't wait! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

First, I am going to return to my hometown. My hometown is in the north of China. I am going back to my hometown to visit my grandparents. I haven't seen them for a long time! I will spend the Spring Festival in my hometown, so I can visit my relatives and friends during the Spring Festival. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Second, I want to go on a trip. I haven't travelled for several years, so visiting interesting places will make me relaxed. I would like to visit Shanghai with my parents. 

Third, I am going to help with the housework. Usually, my mother does most of the housework, so I seldom do housework. She is busy with her work and housework, so she is very tired every day. During the winter holiday, I will help my mother wash dishes and clean the house. 

What's more, I need to do sports, which can keep me healthy. I will have enough time to play badminton with my friends.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} I am going to run around the lake every morning. 

Last but not least, I'm going to finish my homework and prepare for the next term.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I plan to finish my homework during the first two weeks, and then the rest time of the winter holiday is mine! What about you? Do you have a plan for the coming winter holiday?

Xue Qingqing is a student at Zhejiang University. As she moved into another dormitory（宿舍）, she found {#blank#}1{#/blank#} note from 23 years ago, which read "study hard and make progress every day". The information on it showed that it {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（write） by a student called Fang Qin on January 21,2001.

Xue guessed that Fang was trying to encourage herself to study and wondered {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Fang realized her dreams. "The note must be {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（help）, and she must have achieved her goals, right?" Xue wrote on the school's forum.

 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（lucky）, Xue finally got in touch with Fang. "It's unbelievable that the note has been kept well for 23 years," Fang told Xue.

Now, Fang becomes the CEO of a platform and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（study） technology. When she was18 years old, Fang felt that she had trouble dealing {#blank#}7{#/blank#}her studies. To push herself harder in the new term, she wrote a note of encouragement. Later, she became{#blank#}8{#/blank#} （hard-working） classmate in her school. "Every day I saw it as soon as I woke up, and it helped {#blank#}9{#/blank#}push myself," Fang said.

The story has warmed many people's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （heart） online. They say it is wonderful to see that Fang's hard work bears fruit.

 Today is the beginning of a new {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(学期 ). My school life is   interesting. There are many kinds of clubs in our school. We all can {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(选  择) one of them. Do you have any q{#blank#}3{#/blank#} ? Let me help you. For example, my h{#blank#}4{#/blank#} are singing and dancing, I also can play some m{#blank#}5{#/blank#} instruments well. So I want to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the music club. Jim likes something{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(不同的). He likes collecting {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(昆虫). He wants to be a{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(科学家). So he is in the science club. We all have much f{#blank#}10{#/blank#} at school. Then what about you? What can you do and what do you like to do? Come and be with us!
