Camping is one of the most interesting outdoor activities. Last weekend, I 1a camping trip to a hill with my teachers and classmates. We all 2 ourselves very much. Each of us brought 3 for the camping. Liu Tao had a box of chocolates and David had some 4. What did Nancy have? She had some fruits, too. Helen had a tin of fish and a tin of chicken. Mr Green and Miss Li had two big tents, the blankets and the cooking tools (工具).

    When we 5 to the camping place, it was almost 11 a. m. Our teachers tried to put up the tents first. And we 6 went to look for wood. Then we made a fire to cook food. We didn't have much choice (选择) on food, but we all thought it7. After lunch, we took a rest. And then in the afternoon, we caught butterflies, looked for rare(稀有) plants in the woods and went boating in a river 8 the hill. In the evening, we held a party, singing and dancing around the campfire.

    At about 11 p. m., we went into the tents and slept soon because we were 9 at that time.10 it didn't rain that night. The trip is really a wonderful experience!

    Yesterday was Father's Day. Many things happening between my father and me crowded my mind. But one thing made a deep impression on me.

    It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a 1 mood (情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me.I was in my room2ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “ Want to go for a ride today,Berk? It's a beautiful day.”

    “No! Leave me alone!”Those were the 3words I said to him that morning.

    My friends called and 4 me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be5with them and then went with them.When I came home，I found a6 on the table.My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “ Dad has had an 7 Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”

    When I reached the hospital ,my mother came out and told me a car hit my father and his injuries were extensive(大曲积的). “Your father told the driver to leave8 alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, ….”

    My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear. I didn't hear anything 9 those terrible words： Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to10 himself. He didn't want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him 11 I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?

    It was several days later that he was12 able to have a talk.I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

    “ Daddy... I am so sorry...''

    “It's okay, sweetheart. I'll be okay.”

     “No,” I said, “I mean about13 I said to you that day.You know, that morning?"

    He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember14 about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember telling you goodnight the night before，though." He managed a weak smile.

    My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal(治愈）.And we all have the power to 15 our words.I am going to do that very carefully from now on.

    Each of us makes mistakes from time to time. In fact, we can 1 a lot from our mistakes.

    Donnie was a 2student and he never answered questions in class. He was afraid 3making mistakes. He never finished his homework4 he didn't want to make any mistakes. Nothing changed 5Mary, a teacher, came to our 6.

    One morning, Donnie was asked to 7some questions. After a while, he was in tears because he made a mistake. 8Mary got a box filled with erasers from the desk.

    "Look, Donnie," she said standing beside 9. "I have something to show you." She10the erasers, one at a time, and put them on the desk.

    "See these erasers, Donnie?" she said. "do you know 11these erasers become smaller and smaller? That's because we make mistakes. But we erase(擦掉) the mistakes and try 12. That's what you must learn."

    "Here," she said," I'll13one eraser on your desk, so you'll remember that 14may make mistakes." Donnie looked at Mary and smiled.

Donnie15a lot from then on. He knew that everyone might make mistakes. He should learn from them and tried again.

Tony lives in a big house, and his family is rich (富有的). He has a bad 1 . He always wastes (浪费) food. For example, he 2 eats half of an apple and throws away (扔掉) the other half. His mother always 3 him not to do that, but he doesn't 4 his mother. He thinks his father has a lot of money, so it's not a big deal. "My mother is too strict 5 me," he says. He doesn't like exercising, 6 . His home is not far from school, but he never walks 7 rides a bike to school. He asks his mother to take him to school in the 8 . He says to his mother. "We have a car, so 9 do I need to ride a bike or walk to school? Walking 10 me tired."

One day, in a geography class, his teacher 11 some pictures of Africa to Tony and his classmates. Many 12 have no food to eat there. They are thin because of hunger (饥饿). Their teacher asks them to 13 money and do something to help them. Tony feels 14 for what he did before. He knows what his mother did is to help 15 develop (养成) good habits.

Zhou Jinrui and Harry are two middle school students in Hangzhou. They didn't have much money with them. But they have dreamed to visit Beijing for a long time. So they went to Beijing from Hangzhou by bike last summer holiday. They spent nearly one month on the bike travelling. The journey（旅程）was hard, but they felt happy. 

They went through many cities and villages during the travelling. They ate the food they took or had cheap meals. When they were tired at night, they took out their map to find small and cheap hotels or the farmers' houses to stay in. They also took some medicine with them. When they had a cold, they didn't need to go to hospital. When it was rainy, they stopped for a while and went on with their travelling. 

At the end of August, they got to Beijing successfully. They visited a lot of places of interest in Beijing, such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace and Tian'anmen Square. 

They had a fun time in Beijing for ten days. At last, they had to return to Hangzhou by train because the new term began in September. 

At the beginning of the school year, each student would be given a special job for which they would be responsible (负责任的) for the whole term. Rita, a quiet and hardworking girl, hoped for an exciting task, like taking care of the class plants. Instead, she received a small box with sand and a small ant. 

Even though the teacher explained that this task was very special, Rita could not help feeling disappointed. However, she decided to do her best with her new job. She began to study and care for the ant, learning about its habitat (栖息地) and needs. She made the box a comfortable home for the ant, and it grew much bigger than anyone expected. 

Rita's efforts caught the attention of her science teacher, Mr. Thompson. He turned her work into a class project, and Rita became the class expert (专家) on ants. Her hard work helped the whole class learn about ant behavior and habitats. They even built a small ant farm in the classroom to observe the ant closely. 

Gradually, Rita's classmates became more and more interested in the ant project. They started asking her questions and observing the ant's behavior themselves. Rita organized a presentation where she shared her findings with the whole school during the science fair. 

At the end of the year, Rita's class was recognized as the best of the year. Rita was as well praised for her hard work and how she turned a small task into something big. Rita learned that every task, no matter how small, could make a big difference. She also learned that sometimes the most unexpected things can lead to great success.
