On the day of the interview, I got up at 6:00 in the morning. I got to the interview place without having1. l was the 24th interviewee(应聘者) and the 22nd was a short ordinary- looking girl. I greeted her by2my head. I asked her where she graduated. She told me in a low3, "I graduated from a junior college， the only one without getting a bachelor' s degree(学士学位) among the 50 interviewees.

I didn't4he interview would last so long. As I didn't have breakfast, my stomach started to ache. I had to sit by the table for a5. Just at that time, the girl asked me6happened, I told her, "I didn't have breakfast this morning, so my7comes to me.

    After a while, a worker came in and8me a bottle of milk and a piece of bread. It was certain that they were bought by the girl. I felt9all over my heart because I hadn't imagined she would be so nice to help me- her rival(竞争对手).

Luckily, I got the job. The first day I went to work, I was10to see the girl there. She also got the job. Later I asked her why she got the job. She said11a smile, "That day when I bought you the12, an interviewer went to the toilet with papers in hands. He asked me13I could help him to copy those papers while he was in the toilet. I helped him. After I came back to him, he asked me why I took the food in hands. I told him the14. Then I got the job." At that moment, I came to know that when the girl helped me and the interviewer, she also helped15.

    Helping others will benefit yourself as well.

   Long long ago, there was a crowd of antelopes(羚羊)in the forest. In this crowd there was1wiseteacher. He was admired by everyone because he taught the young the tricks and strategiesof survival. One day, his younger sister brought her son2 him and asked him to teach3wasimportant to antelopes. She said, "Dear brother, this is my son, Dick. Pleaseteach him the tricks and strategies of survival. The teacher said to Dick, "You4 come at this time tomorrow foryour5 lesson."

    At first, Dick came to have lessons on timeevery day. But soon, Dick became6 inplaying games with others, so he began to cut classes.7,he didn't realize how dangerous it could be for a young antelope8 learned nothing but games.

    Unfortunately, one day the young antelope steppedin a trap. Knowing Dick9, his mother was worried. She went to herbrother and10 him"My brother, how is my son? Have you taught him the tricks and strategies ofsurvival? The teacher replied, "My dear sister, I tried11 best to teach him, but your son did not want tolearn the tricks and strategies of survival. He cut classes. How could I possiblyteach him?"

    At this time, they heard that Dick12 in a trap. They hurried to rescue him before itwas too late. Dick was too scared13 andregretted deeply.

14 the young antelope had kept learning15 all the time, he wouldn't have been caught.

Last Saturday, Tony went to see Benny. But he didn't know1Benny lived.2the way, he stopped in front of a yellow house, and asked an old woman the3to Benny's house. "His house is not far from my house," said the woman.

"It's behind the trees. But you can't get there4. You can go there by bus. It'll5you hours to get there6foot."

"What's7with her?" Tony thought." "I can see Benny's house from here now. It's behind the8."

Then Tony walked to the other side of the trees. He found the old woman was9.There was a river in front of him, and he couldn't see a boat. The house was on the other side of the10.

Astronauts would face dangers both getting to and surviving (生存) on Mars. Let's learn about surviving a trip to Mars.

What would it take to keep people safe and healthy on a trip to Mars? Scientists are already working on it, though the trip may be many years later.

Over the last 60 years, many spaceships have flown by orbited（沿轨道运行）and even landed on the Red Planet. However, machines cannot replace humans. That's why the United States, China and other countries want to send people to Mars. But surviving on this trip would not be easy.

A trip to Mars would be the farthest journey in human(人类) history. Mars is about 225 million kilometers away, so it would take astronauts at least 180 days to reach there. However, it only takes a few days to get to the Moon.

Space travel is dangerous. For one thing, staying in space for long periods makes the human body weak. Also, it puts pressure behind the eyes and causes eye problems. But gravity(重力) machines could help.

Then there's space radiation(辐射) to worry about. It is bad for astronauts when they have long journeys. Scientists are working out the issue. They have found that taking certain vitamins can help.

Astronauts will have to pack light to lift off from the earth. But they won't be able to get the things they need easily. Astronauts on the space station practice for this by growing lettuce and other food in space. Engineers are developing 3D printing techniques（技术）which can allow future Mars astronauts to build what they want.

In China, Spring Festival is a very big event. We usually celebrate 1 with the sound of fireworks and crackers. But do you know 2 people from many more countries around the world also celebrate Chinese New Year?

 This winter holiday, I 3 to Bangkok, Thailand. 4 I first arrived in the city center, I was amazed that many windows had posters saying" Happy Chinese New Year". Many people were wearing red clothes and qipao. And there was 5 sign saying" Lucky Chinese New Year" in the biggest shopping area in Bangkok! So I 6 put on my qipao and walked down the street to enjoy the atmosphere. Many people from different countries smiled at me and said" hello" to me in Chinese.

 At night, there were beautiful fireworks 7 the river in the city center.

 The next day, it was surprising 8 a message from a pen friend in the UK. He told me that they knew Chinese culture and customs 9 and were taking part in the celebrations.

10 unforgettable Spring Festival for me! It is great to be a Chinese.
