What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they? In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?

    We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1,200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without air.

    Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun. Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange and other colors in the sky, such are the most beautiful moments of the day.

    Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into the outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.

    Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters (使散射) the sunlight. Light travels through the air. Without air there would be no colors.

From small ants to big whales, almost all animals need to sleep. Some sleep a little. Some sleep a lot. And some have special ways to get their sleep.

Making your school a better place will make everyone around you happier and will get you more exited to go every day. Besides，a better place will also make you more productive（有效益的）. The following are some of the ways to make your school a better place. 

◆{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Do not stay silent when you see another student getting hurt by others. Speak up bravely and tell them to stop. This will help create a better atmosphere（气氛）at school. 

◆Try to deal with arguments between other kids. When you see other students in an argument，you can help deal with the problem. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}After all，many argument s in school are just misunderstandings between two people. 

◆{#blank#}3{#/blank#}If you know that other students have difficulty learning a subject that you're good at，you can help them by teaching them in that subject. Helping other students to improve their grades will help create a positive atmosphere in school. 

◆{#blank#}4{#/blank#}If you notice a student who doesn't have many friends or sits alone at lunch，make it a point to become their friend. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}So why not encourage other people to become friends with them？

Many students find it hard to communicate with their parents. Last week,

When I was in primary school, I often thought about what my junior high school life would be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. I am a junior high school student now. I find something different. In most junior high schools, the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(one) day is usually on 1st September. Class often {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(start) at 7:45 in the morning. 

I go to school from Mondays to Fridays {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I have seven lessons every day. English is my favourite. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(learn) English well is important for me, because I want to be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} English teacher in the future. I started {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(work) hard from the first English lesson. In that lesson, our English teacher Ms Chen wrote some {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(sentence) on the blackboard. Then she asked {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(we) to answer questions. I was the first to put up my hand, but my answer was not right. I felt sad. But Ms Chen said it was OK {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(make) mistakes sometimes. She taught me to learn from them, and then I could do better next time. 

The Yingge Dance, or "dance to the hero's song" is a traditional art form in Chaoshan area. The dance can date back to the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644). At that time, dancers {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it during traditional Chinese festivals. Today, Chaoshan people perform the Yingge Dance to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the Spring Festival.

Usually, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} number of the performers in the Yingge Dance is either 24 or 36. Each of them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a role of the "108 Heroes" from Liangshan Mountain, a place in a famous traditional Chinese story. To prepare for a full day of performances, the performers have to practice for at {#blank#}5{#/blank#} six months. They also have to wear heavy clothes during their practice. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} it is hard work, more and more young people are joining the dancing teams because of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} love for this traditional art.

It is said that this dance is the most popular in Chaoshan towns such {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Puning and Chaoyang. However, today, people in other countries like Australia and America are also getting interested in it. The Yingge Dance is not only a symbol of Chaoshan {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, but also a belief (信仰). We Chaoshanese believe it will take away the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} things and bring good luck to all of us in the coming year.
