The cold wind blew strongly outside. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she'd read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.

   The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help. In the article, the kids had grown food for people who needed food, but it was winter. She couldn't start a garden. Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.

   As they drove along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk(人行道), wearing only light jackets. How could they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats, hats and gloves for people who needed them.

   She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it was great. But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least.

   Ms. Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea. They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster aboutit, so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.

   They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again. She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats and gloves. Amaya felt warm in her heart, and was very glad she could help others.

I didn't like team (团队) sports. When I started university (大学)，I 1 to try kung fu. So I joined a kung fu club. The people in the club were 2 . I was happy to join it. In the first 3 most of us were new students. I always went to the club twice a week to 4 . It wasn't a team sport，so I didn't feel 5 for not being very good. I wouldn't influence (影响) others.6 exercising，my body and mind got better. 7 ，in the last year of university I was too busy to do kung fu most of the time. 

When I moved to Italy this year，I found a great club. The club was more interesting 8 the one at my university. 

I think that everyone should 9 doing sports. I feel good when I am doing sports. I don't think a lot of people enjoy basketball at school but 10 they would enjoy yoga or volleyball. So let's do sports now! 

Albert is a fat man. He gets up late {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the morning He has a big breakfast every morning. He eats some meat，three eggs and some pieces of bread. He also {#blank#}2{#/blank#}two glasses of milk，some apple juice，a cup of coffee and some fruit. His wife，eats a piece of bread and a banana {#blank#}3{#/blank#}breakfast. Albert does not do sports. He thinks they are too difficult for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. So he is a little unhealthy. But he likes listening to the music and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}TV and he doesn't do any housework. Vicky does sports every day. In fact，she likes swimming very much，and she is in a swimming club now. So she is very healthy. 

I still remember the terrible storm which came at 4:00 p. m. on February 15th. My parents and I were watching TV at that time when suddenly the lights {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(go) on and off for a few times. It was clear that there was something wrong {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the circuit (电路). Before my father went to have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} look, the room became completely dark. So we had to use the flashlight (手电筒) to find out what happened. 

There {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(be) strong winds and heavy rain outside. We could even feel the coldness through the windows. After several {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(hour), we realized the power (电力) wouldn't come back in a short time. When we were ready to go to bed, my sister cried out, "Look! It began to snow. " We all looked out in surprise. The snow was falling harder {#blank#}6{#/blank#} harder. It seemed that the snow would last for a long time. Since there was still no power, we went to bed earlier than usual. 

When I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(wake) up the next morning, I found the trees were {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(cover) with snow and the road became icy. Many people went out{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(buy) some necessary (必要的) things while kids were playing {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(happy) in the snow. 

Several years ago, I started the experience of riding a bike. At first, I thought it was only a 1  ride. But as I built up strength, my friends encouraged me to try some longer 2 . The first one was a 150-mile journey. It was an activity to raise money to fight against cancer(癌症). 

When I signed my name, the 3  seemed great. But as the time for the ride came closer, I was not sure about myself. I didn't really want to 4  all those miles for two days. 

The ride began on a Sunday morning in the Georgia countryside, 5  for the first few hours I felt wonderful. This was just the 6  I had imagined. But by the end of the day, I felt tired. I was sure I'd have to 7 . 

As I topped the hill, the nice sunset 8  me going for a few minutes more. Then in the distance, I saw a rider riding very slowly. I 9  that the person looked different in some way, but I couldn't tell why. I tried my best to catch up. There she was, with a determined smile on her face, riding 10  but steadily(稳地) — she had only one leg. 

She caught 11  attention at that moment. I was uncertain about my body for a whole day. But now I knew it wasn't the body, but the 12  that would help me reach my goal. 

It rained all the 13  day. I kept on without complaining , although I 14  saw the one-legged biker again. And at the end of the day, still feeling 15 , I completed the 150-mile journey.
