Last Wednesday, about 7,400 American bankers went back to school again. This timethey did not go to learn—they went to teach. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 1997，the American Bankers Association hassponsored Teach Children to Save Day. Every April 26, bankers across the USAteach over 1.5 million primary and secondary school students how to handle {#blank#}2{#/blank#}money.

      In the USA, children, especially teenagers, are often big spenders. In 2013, forexample, American teenagers spent $175 billion. This is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} average of $104per week per teenager. Few teenagers have any savings. They typically spendmoney as fast as they can. Nearly all will continue their {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(spend) habits whenthey grow up.

      It's necessary that children learn proper money management {#blank#}5{#/blank#} they are stillyoung. The bankers show students how to budget and make smart {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(decide)about money. They explain how to balance their expenses against their income.They help the students understand their family's shopping and householdexpenses as well. Of course，students{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(teach) how to invest and save money too.

AsBenjamin Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Moreover, money{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(save) at interest can increase greatly in value over time. Children, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}adults, need to understand the value of saving money. This is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} TeachChildren to Save Day is all about.

    One of my father's favorite {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) as I was growing up was “Try it!”. I couldn't say I didn't like something, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it might be, until after I tried it. Over the years I've come to realize how much of my success I owe to my {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (accept) of those words as one of my values. My first job was just one I decided to try for a couple of years until I determined what I wanted to do as a career. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (actual) I believed I would work for a few years, get {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (marry), stay home and raise a family, so I didn't think the job I took mattered that much. I couldn't {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) more mistaken. I mastered the skills of that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (begin) level position and I was given the opportunity to move up through the company into {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (differ) positions. I accepted each new opportunity with the thought, “Well, I'll try it; {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I don't like it I can always go back to my {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (early) position.” But I was with the same company for the past 28 years.

    Many animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth. Finless Porpoise (江豚) is one of these endangered{#blank#}1{#/blank#}that are dying out. As a student, I am asking you to pay attention{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the situation of Finless Porpoises. Finless porpoises in the Yangtze River are in danger of becoming extinct because they are seriously{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(affect) by human activities. To our disappointment, only about 1,000 are still living at present. We sincerely hope that WWF can play a role in{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(protect) this endangered species. Firstly, we find{#blank#}5{#/blank#}important to get sponsorship(赞助). If the government pays the farmers, they will allow tourists hunt only{#blank#}6{#/blank#}certain number of animals. But more importantly, we need information from experts in WWF to help us better understand the animal. In that case, we can take{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(good) care of them than before. And prizes will be given to the organizations{#blank#}8{#/blank#}can protect them well. What's more, more workers should{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(employ) to help us{#blank#}10{#/blank#}the task is challenging, we are confident that we will succeed sooner or later.

    Nowadays, it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro-blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, it is a useful way to release their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} ,many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's micro blog will take a lot of time and energy, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}should be used to study.

    In my view, I am greatly in favor {#blank#}4{#/blank#}this activity. Today the Internet is playing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}important and essential role in our life. Therefore as high school students, we need to learn to make use of this {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What's more, opening microblogs need various abilities such {#blank#}7{#/blank#}writing, designing , being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog. As a result, we will improve ourselves while {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(organize) our microblogs.

    In fact, microblog {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.

    A good friend not only likes to hang with you and have {#blank#}1{#/blank#}good time, but thinks about you and wishes good things for you when you're apart. A good Friend may not talk to you every day or even every week, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}can come up in a matter of minutes. A good friend will come to help you, even when you haven't talked to him in weeks. Time doesn't lessen a good friend's relationship with you.

    Beth is a friend of{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (I), I can for weeks without{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (talk) to her but then drop anything in minutes because {#blank#}5{#/blank#}her. She has no problem giving me some of her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (suggest) either, Last week. I{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (buy) a pair of jeans which wasn't{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(exact) right for me. Some of my friend laugh at me. Beth would give a bees opinion, rather than leaving me hanging with my big jeans. She advised me{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (wear) this mini skirt instead because it made me look pretty.

    I believe that good friends also{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) the most honest with you, instead of looking down on you, showing off themselves or ignoring you. Beth is a friend like that. I feel so lucky to have such a friend.

    Mary will ever forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in class one day, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (wear) sun glasses. He walked in as if he {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (buy) the school, and the word quickly got around that he was from New York City.

    For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(please), because there were many empty seats in the room .But she quickly realized that it wasn't for her, it was probably the fact that she sat in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} last row.

    But if he thought he could escape attention by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(sit) at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little harder for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turn to look at him, they had to look at Mary, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}made her feel like a star.

    “Do you need those glasses for medical {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (reason)?” the teacher asked .The new boy shook his head. "Then I'd appreciate{#blank#}8{#/blank#} if you didn't wear them in class .I like to look at your eyes when I'm speaking to you." The new boy looked at the teacher for a few seconds and all the other students wondered {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the boy would do .Then he took them off, gave a big smile{#blank#}10{#/blank#} said "That is cool."
