Ray was thought to be a strange boy. One day when he was flying his kite, he said to himself," Did anybody ever try to fly a kite at night? I think it must be very fun. But the kite can't be seen in the dark. What if I tie a light to it? That would be really good. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(try) it tonight."

As soon as it was dark, he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(take) his kite and lantern, and went to a large field about a mile from his home. He tied the lantern to the tail of his kite. The lantern {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make) of paper. The kite flew higher and higher. He tied the string (线)to a tree, and then he stood there, staring at his kite. It floated (飘) high up into the air. How wonderful! While Ray {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(enjoy) his special kite, some people in the village also saw it.

"Look! A light{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (fly) in the sky," one person said. "It can't be a light," said a man.

"Perhaps it's a big firefly (萤火虫) ,"said another,

"Maybe it's a comet (彗星),"said another man.

"How strange!" said a boy.

"Let's find out what this strange light{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be)," the last one said. Then they went to the field.

Ray, who had gotten tired of standing, was sitting behind a tree. He{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (see) the men as they came, but they didn't see him. When they reached under the light, and saw what it was, they looked at each other and said, "There is nothing unusual {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(happen)! This is just a trick of some naughty boys, but it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fool) us all.

Let's keep the secret. "Then they laughed and went back to the village. When the men had gone, Ray thought it was time for him {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(go), so he went home, too. When his mother heard what he had done, she hardly knew whether to laugh or scold (责备), but just told him to go to bed.

My name is Emma, My family like1 . My favourite part is when we go on a road2 by car. I like to wave at the people in the other3 . I like to look at the landscape. 

Last week my family went on a road trip to a big farm. We4 through the desert. It was hot,5  the landscape was beautiful. The mountains were red. I6 a horse by myself. It was a friendly7 . At night we ate dinner around a campfire. That was very fun. 

We're going to take a trip to the8 next Saturday. I like to pick up shells(贝壳)there, so I'm very9 .

The beach is far from our home. It will be a10 drive. We will stop for lunch at a restaurant. l like reading. Maybe I will11 a book in the car. My dad knows a lot of12 . Maybe he will tell a funny story. 

l don't know13 the road trip will be like, but I do14 it will be fun. Like my parents15 say, "Getting there is half the fun."

I'm Tony.From a young age，I began to love skiing.I have skied since I was eight or nine years old.But once in the USA I was close to death.

It was April 1st，2011.I skied in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier.While I was skiing，they were watching me in a safe area，and then covered me.It was so heavy that I couldn't move.And then it pushed me forward again.

I looked down into the bottom of the valley（山谷）. "OK，I'm going all the way to the bottom!" I thought.Then the snow pushed me again down the mountains.I thought the snow would destroy me.But in the end

It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to find me.They couldn't believe it when they saw me.I was so lucky.

Has the experience changed me？Do I think about life differently？I don't know，but I do know that it's important to live your life seriously.Life is a gift，so use it wisely.

One weekend, my husband suggested we cook together. I had spoken to my mother earlier that day on the phone. I had told her about our life. She yawned(打哈欠) and we said 1 to one another. 

I didn't know then that just 16 hours later, my mother would die. 

My mother was my best friend. After she died, I felt 2 . She was the only person I wanted to 3 . The only person who could help me was the one who was missing. 

My mother gave me many things, 4 she had never taught me how to cook. She liked to eat more than cook. She loved to eat fish pie and 5 it to us for dinner. Almost every week, she would 6 a prepared fish pie. Then she would bring it home and make her own white sauce. 

My mother 7 taught me how to make a white sauce, and I never wanted to ask her. Since she was gone, I would have to teach 8 .

So this became my focus. For the first few weeks, I survived (生存) on cheap food. But one night, a fish pie mix 9 my eye at the store. 

When I got home, I 10 myself in front of our electric stove. Armed with a 11 , I tried to teach myself to make a white sauce. 

Halfway through the recipe, I couldn't believe it- I had made a white sauce on my own! Then I remembered: I had always 12 fish pie. 

Admiring my sauce, I wondered13 I wanted to make a dish I had hated for 25 years. Why was it suddenly so important?

I poured the sauce over the fish. Then I ate the pie. I realized that the act of 14 calmed me down. 

It helped me find15 .

Hi there, Li Ping!

My name is Jack and I'm going to be at your school for the exchange visit next month. I'm really excited about it!

Well, why I'm writing now? For one thing, I really want to know something about the wonderful clubs at your school, so could you introduce one of them? Also, I'm interested in Chinese traditional culture, so what do you suggest I do in my free time after school?

Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

Jack
