Dear Future Me,

You are leaving school and stepping into a new world. Well done for completing all {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (那些) difficult lessons!

You've just found out that you've {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  (通过) all your exams and done your best. You know you'll be able to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (进入) the fantastic high school. At this moment you must be{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (骄傲的) of yourself.

I'm writing this letter to remind you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (再一次) about all the things you wanted to do when you were in the{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (第七) grade. I want you to make sure that before you leave school you'll realise your{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (梦想) as Footballer of the School. Remember that you wanted to be a famous {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (歌手)? Well, I hope you'll win the top role in the school talent show this year.

If you've done {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (每件事) you wanted to do, you'll now be a popular and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (聪明的) student, with a successful future ahead of you.

Don't let me down!

A rich man began to learn painting when he was sixty years old, and he{#blank#}1{#/blank#} it very much. He painted and painted. After twenty years, there were {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of pictures in his workroom, and he thought they were very good.
One day, the old man was seriously ill in bed, but he didn't {#blank#}3{#/blank#} his pictures. He said to his grandson, Alan, “I want to give my pictures to a school, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the students will remember me. But which school do you think is the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , my child?”
“Well,” said the little boy. “You'd better give them to a school for the blind!”

    Reading is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.

    First, reading is fun. You can always keep {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（you） happy if you like reading. You will never {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (feeling) bored or tired.

    Next, you can read a book anywhere—in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} car, on a plane, or even in the bathroom. All you need {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) a book!

    Another good reason for reading is that it is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use). If you read {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a hobby, you will get better and better at it. And you will read faster and find it easier to understand {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you read. As your reading skills improve, you will {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (probable) find your schoolwork becomes much better.

    Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not true. You can read on computers, and the better you read, the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) your computer skills will be.

    Good readers may become {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (writer), too. They always have more things to write about.

    In Yulin, Guangxi (广西玉林) a dog meat-eating festival is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in summer every year. Tens of thousands of dogs are killed and cooked every day during the festival. This year, the controversial (有争议的) festival was protested (抗议) by a large number of dog lovers.

    Should dogs be eaten? People hold different {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . Some of the local people want to keep their custom and enjoy the traditional dishes.

    They think eating dog meat is a tradition in many parts of the world. It should not be stopped simply because some people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it. Besides, most of the dogs are not pet dogs; they are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} by farmers. However, some people want the festival in Yulin to be banned (禁止). They say that dogs are man's best friends. Dogs make cute pets. Man should love them and they will love us, too. It is cruel (残忍的) to cook and eat them. Do you support the Yulin tradition that has lasted for hundreds of years, or do you believe this custom should be stopped? What is your opinion?
