Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Brown, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck-a game show. My best friend Nancy and I both 1 it. Nancy has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history. So we thought we'd be good 2 for the team.

    A few days later, Mr. Brown held a meeting with everyone interested in the 3 .He told us that Smart Aleck used a five-member team and three more people would be needed as backup (替补). Mr. Brown said we would have a 4 among all the students present and the top eight scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 5 way to decide.

    Yesterday, all of the hopefuls got together. Mr. Brown acted as the host. After a couple of hours, all the places on the team were set 6 one. Nancy and I tied(打成平手)for that last position. We had to hold a one-on- one competition. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the 7 .

    Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull 8 . Then I saw the look on Nancy's face. I waited for a second and knew 9 I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Nancy wanted it even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Nancy 10 , just by a little bit. When she 11 she would be on the show, she felt sorry for my not being on the team. However, I will still have the 12 of seeing the show up close.

    Was I 13 by not trying as hard as I could? I don't think so. No one noticed, and Nancy and I didn't say it. It won't hurt the team 14Nancy will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the 15 thing to do.

    When I was in middle school, I felt I was always letting people down. Once I brought my 1 Daisy to my home. I noticed that all my family members seemed to 2 Daisy better than me.

    I felt very 3. I even thought they didn't love me. I wondered whether they would miss me if I died some day. 4 I told my mum, "Daisy is more patient than I have ever been. You must want her to be your daughter instead of me."

    My mum explained that Daisy was a lovely girl, but 5 could replace (代替) me in the family. She said I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even if I made 6, I was a beloved member of the family who could never be replaced.

    From then on, I tried to 7 out who I was and what made me special. I look at 8 in a new way. Then I started to be positive (积极的) towards my life, and I was happy about who I 9 was. I came to feel much better as I knew that no one could ever replace me.

    Each of us holds a special place in the world. You are special, no matter what others say or what you may think. So 10 that you will be replaced. You can't be.

My Unforgettable Memories in Junior High

How time flies! Three years passed in the blink of an eye. 

I believe that junior high school has been a valuable experience for me, and I am grateful for all the memories I have made. 

Hello, everyone! I'm Kevin. I'd like to tell you something about my dream home. My dream home is near the beautiful beach(沙滩). It is not big, but it is a nice and quiet place. 

My dream house has two floors. It is not high. But for our family, it is enough. At the back of our house, there is a garden. We can grow flowers that we like. On the first floor is the living room. We receive guests(客人) there. In my spar time, my young brother and I can play together there. Our bedrooms are on the second floor. One is for my parents and the other is for my brother and me. 

There is a bed in my bedroom. It's like a ship,and it's very soft. There is a desk with a computer on it. I can surf the Internet or play computer games. I can often do my homework on the desk. My favorite place is the balcony. I can walk out to look at the beach and look up at the sky. 

This is my dream home. What about yours?

Mrs Brown is from London, England. But she likes working in China. She says all her students work very hard( 努力地) and they are very friendly. She loves them very much. And the students love her, too. 

Mrs Brown has a son and a daughter. Her son's name is Jack. He is ten. Her daughter's name is Sue. She is seven years old. They study in China. They have classes from Monday to Friday. They like their school very much. On Saturday and Sunday, they often go shopping or play sports. Sometimes they help their mother with some housework. 

They have a happy family. 

My cousin Sam is a middle school student. He is twelve years old. He loves1 a lot. Every morning, he runs around the playground for half an hour. Now he looks 2 and tall.

Sam likes reading. He also likes writing a lot. He wants to be a writer. He often borrows books and reads them in the school 3 . In his free time, he often 4 some stories for his school newspaper, School Times. Many students like reading this newspaper very much. They all think his stories are very 5 . They want Sam to tell them more stories.

Sam doesn't do well in 6 . He thinks English is a little  7 and difficult, so he doesn't like it. One day, he finds his sister sitting in the study after he comes back home from school. She is 8  the computer. She is watching a video（视频）9 . It's about how to learn English well. He 10 it with his sister. He finds the teacher is cool in the video and his classes are so interesting. Then he makes a decision (决定) to learn English well.
