There was once a lonely girl 1 wanted love very much. One day while she was walking in the forests, she found two 2 birds. She took them home and put them in a small 3. She was happy to have two "friends". She 4 them with love and the birds grew strong. One day the girl 5 to leave the door of the cage open. The larger and the 6 of the two flew out of the cage. The girl was afraid that it 7away. She caught it quickly. She felt glad that she caught the bird before it could fly away. Suddenly she couldn't 8 a sound from the bird. When she opened her hand, the bird was already dead. Her 9 killed the bird! Then she noticed 10 bird jumping up and down 11 the cage. She could feel its great need for freedom. It wanted to fly into the clear, blue 12.So she lifted it from the cage and let it fly away highly. The bird circled once, twice, and three times. The girl 13 as the bird flew. She didn't care about 14 the bird any more, She wanted it to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the 15 song she had ever heard.

    The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

One afternoon, Mrs. Stone decided to visit her friend Mrs. King. Mrs. King lived in a nice house with a large garden far from the city center. Mrs. Stone took her dog with her. While the women were having coffee outside the house, the dog was running around in the garden. The two friends were very unpleasantly surprised when the dog appeared after some time with a dead rabbit in his mouth. Mrs. King began to feel sick because she knew that her neighbor kept rabbits in a hutch（笼子） in his garden. As the dog and the rabbit were both covered with earth and dirt, the women took the rabbit and carefully cleaned it in the bathroom. When it got dark, they went quietly through the trees into the neighbor's garden and put the dead rabbit into the hutch.

The next afternoon Mrs. King's neighbor, the one with the rabbit, found her in the garden, called her over. She walked towards the neighbor and she felt very afraid because she knew that she did something wrong. "You know what?" her neighbor said. "Yesterday morning I found one of my rabbits dead in the hutch. So I put it in the ground in the garden and this morning," he started to whisper, "it's back to the hutch! I'm going to take it to a right pet cemetery."

I am the only child in my family. My parents always care too much about me. They m{#blank#}1{#/blank#} every minute of my life. They help me do almost every {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (任务). Actually, I'm really unsatisfied and bored with their o{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I even wish I could stay at home alone every day. My wish came true yesterday. My parents would be away for a {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(会议). In the afternoon, after I saw my parents off, I hurried home, threw myself onto the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (沙发) and watched TV. I didn't turn it off until {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(午夜). Today nobody w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} me up, so I got up very late. I had to go to school with an {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(空的) stomach. What was worse, I didn't finish my homework because I played all day long yesterday. When school was over, I hurried home and tried to cook some s{#blank#}9{#/blank#} food. Unluckily, I didn't make it. At last, I only had a c{#blank#}10{#/blank#} of milk. What a bad day!

 Throughout her life, Mckenna Reitz was known for her long, thick brown hair. The 33-year-old mom's hair1 falling out after the birth of her second daughter. She went to many hospitals, but 2 could stop her hair falling. By December of 2015, she had no hair and was told that she had alopecia(秃头症). 

 Mckenna was 3 . She spent months visiting doctors and trying anything to regrow her hair. She wouldn't leave the house without a 4 . Mckenna says she couldn't 5 look in the mirror after her hair fell out. She could hardly get out of bed in the morning, but it was her young daughters who finally6 her out of her fear. 

 Understanding that alopecia is genetic(遗传) and could someday happen to them too, she decided to 7 her daughters that hair loss is not the end of the 8 . "I needed them to understand that if it does happen to them, they could 9 it, just like they saw their mom do. " she explained. 

 From then on, she stopped trying to make her hair grow back and started to 10 herself as she is. She stopped wearing hats in public. 11 she learned to love public and then herself. She felt 12 now. My mom always said to me, "Life gives the 13 people the hardest challenges. It's made me understand that every person has their own14 . "

 Mckenna is a beautiful person, inside and out. 15 showing us that we are much more than our physical body, her strong mind is also helping remove the shame about hair loss. 

Recently, a video of a young girl performing the Pangu Dance has caught tons of attention of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} large number of people on the Internet. 

The Pangu dance dates back to the Han Dynasty and is an unusual part of Han culture. During the dance, dancers who are dressed in {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (tradition) costumes use drums as props (道具). {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the surface of the drums, they jump and dance creating rhythmic beats(有节奏的) with {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) footwork while waving long sleeves (袖子). 

According to the girl's mother, her daughter Tongtong is now 10 years old. At the age of three and a half, she {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(teach) Chinese dance because of her love for dancing. 

Tongtong has developed friendships with many other young {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(pal). They enjoy learning and sharing short dance videos on Douying to document their growth. Inspired by this, Tongtong has learned to upload dance videos on Douying since last November. 

Ms. Wang said that her daughter {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(spend) about half an hour each day learning dance on Douying after completing her homework. Additionally, Tongtong took up dance classes twice a week. She makes good use of her time in order {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(improve) her performance.

 The police have many ways of catching criminals. One way of catching them is by fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is the study of the patterns on our fingertips. We have known that no two fingerprints are exactly the same for hundreds of years. However, it wasn't until 1910 that the first criminal in the USA was convicted(被判有罪) using fingerprint evidence(证据).

 Early on the morning of September 19,1910, Hiller's wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away.

 Hiller's wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers' house.

 The only problem was no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller's wife, only several hours before Hiller's death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint..

 During the trial(审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller' s murder(谋杀). Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals.
