One day while driving from my home to work. I noticed a car in front of me had a wobbly(不稳定的)wheel. It was clear that the wheel had been changed recently and had not been fixed correctly. On a slow road this would not show much of a problem but I knew a highway was coming soon. There the traffic would move much faster and the driver would be in danger as the wheel could come off at that speed.

    I was driving a large jeep at the time and the car in front was a small one driven by a young lady on her own. So as I tried to flash(闪)my lights and wave her to pull over,  I was worried that she wouldn't' pull over on the road side when she found in her mirror a single man chasing(追) her down in a jeep and waving for her to pull over.

    Thankfully. she trusted more in the good nature of people and pulled over where I could explain the problem. She said the wheel was changed only the night before and that she would pull into the nearest garage(修车间)where the repairman had tools to fix the wheel correctly.

    My belief is that the act of kindness was hers and not mine. How so? Well, it was she who chose to believe in the possibility that people are good over the belief that bad things would come from being waved over to the side of the road by strangers.

    I am glad I was able to wave her down in time and so a serious accident might have been avoided. But I am even happier that she believed in a stranger.

Once upon a time, there was no tea at all in England. People there used {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (drink) a light beer (啤酒). No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stand) on the breakfast table!

When tea was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (one) brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}they did not know how it should be used. They cooked the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (leaf) in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon (熏肉) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming{#blank#}6{#/blank#} popular as coffee and milk in England today.

Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wide) in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow a great many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the tea leaves {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pick), it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off the leaves and dry {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they). In their spare time, they pick out the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into a house, he is served with a cup of tea.

I'm Cameron Davis. I'm 13 and I've visited 45 countries. I have been travelling for as long as I can remember.

Before we left on our first trip, I was very nervous. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(在……期间) the trip, I noticed that if I didn't talk to others, I couldn't make any friends. On my travels I have tried a lot of new things, from {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(高山) biking in Whistle r to camel {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(骑行) near the Great Pyramid of Giza! When you travel to certain places, you start to learn about the different {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(文化). I learned to cook Pad Thai in Thailand, ate curries in India, and tried dumplings in China. I learned that food was great in different countries. My trips also {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (教) me how to become more independent. When we {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(计划) to travel, I always had to pack my own suitcase. Also, when we weretraveling I saw a lot of families that really had to depend on each other to live. Now we wash {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(餐具),make our own lunch and more. I don't love these chores but we have learned that this family is like four gears(齿轮); if one stops

{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(工作), it is harder for the other three.

The {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(最好的) thing that I've learned about traveling is that sometimes you will have to take risks. When I was in Vietnam,I was playing with a little boy when out of the blue, he bit me. I still have the mark!I learned that there are {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(都) good and bad risks. Take the good ones.

What will our life be like in the future? Let's learn about some of the cool things in the future.

Mr and Mrs Mallard are looking for a place to live.1 every time Mr Mallard finds what looks like a nice place, Mrs Mallard says it is not good. 

One day, they get to a new city. "2 at the lake in the Public Garden. And there is a(n)3 in the centre of the lake," Mrs Mallard shouts. "It's my place. We can 4 the night on the island." Mr Mallard agrees with her. 

Next morning, they are swimming in the lake to look for 5 when a boat with many people comes. Some people throw small pieces of  6 into the water, so the Mallards have a nice breakfast. "I 7 this place," Mrs Mallard says as she climbs out of the water and has a break on the grass. 8 , a boy riding a bike passes by and he nearly hits (撞到) Mrs Mallard. "So  9 ! The place won't be good for our baby ducks. We must 10 here," Mrs Mallard shouts. 

Finally, they find the Charles River. "That island in the river looks like a quiet place to hatch (孵化) ducks. It's far away from the 11 city," Mr Mallard says. They choose soft bushes (灌木丛) near the water to12 the nest (窝). Finally, Mrs Mallard produces 8 eggs and the baby ducks ha tch out. 

All day long, Mrs Mallard teaches her babies 13 to swim. She teaches  14 to walk in a line near the island. And she also tells her babies to come back  15 hearing her voice. Mrs Mallard is very busy, but she likes her life.
