In 2008, an Indian film Slumdog Millionaire(《贫民窟的百万富翁》) won an Oscar a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. It tells the story of a poor young man who wins the top prize on a TV game show. Now, in r{#blank#}2{#/blank#} life, there is a “slumdog millionaire” too. An Indian office worker has b{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the first person to win the＄1 million top prize on the Indian TV game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

The w{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, Sushil Kumar, is 27 years old. He works as a computer operator in a government office. He earns around only $120 every month. His house is almost broken and he had a lot of loans (贷款) to be repaired. He e{#blank#}5{#/blank#} watched the TV game show at a neighbour's house, because his family is too poor to a{#blank#}6{#/blank#} a television set.

      People are i{#blank#}7{#/blank#} in how Kumar will use the prize. Kumar said that he was going to r{#blank#}8{#/blank#} his house and fulfill a few basic needs. He would also use part of the prize to study f{#blank#}9{#/blank#} the civil service（公务员）exams. “I love reading,” Kumar said in an interview after his win. “Before winning the prize, I c{#blank#}10{#/blank#} buy many books, but now, I will make a huge library.”

    Copernicus was an astronomer(天文学家). He studied the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(planets/weather) and the stars. He found out that the earth {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (walks/goes) around the sun. He put his thought into a book, but he hid the book. Nobody could read it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (before/after) Copernicus died.

    Many years later, Galileo {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (read/watched) the book and believed that thought. Galileo said that the earth was moving around the sun. This made lots of people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (happy/angry) because they thought the earth must be the center of the universe. Galileo got into trouble and he had to say that he was {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(brave/wrong), but Galileo knew he was right.

    Galileo watched the moon carefully through his telescope(望远镜). He {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(invented/saw) some hills there. He also saw {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (millions/millions of) stars in the universe. In 1673 his eyes became weak, and then he couldn't see {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(anything/nothing) through his telescope.

   Galileo died in 1642 and the world lost a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (funny/great) man. But in the same year, another great scientist Newton was born in England.

    If you are a teenage boy and you want to be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}in life, you'd better {#blank#}2{#/blank#} this great book!

    From the Boys to Men, by American author Michael Gurian, tells teenage boys that they are living through the best years of their {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . There is no reason for them not to love life.

    You may think that only your body is growing at the moment. But the book says your mind is too.

    The book tells teenage boys that they need t o help their body and mind {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. To do this, they should stop spending time playing computer games and should start playing sports.

    Sports, the books says keep you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and teach you important life skills. They teach you how to be a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}and how to work as part of a team.

    The book also tells boys how to love life if they're being bullied(被欺负). It says boys have to stop being {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of such bullies. It is the only way they can become more successful people.

    To become the man you want to be, you have to think for yourself and believe in yourself.

    But, the most {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the book says, you must always dream of success. Never be happy with what you {#blank#}9{#/blank#} , always want more. Real men always want {#blank#}10{#/blank#} .

    It's not easy to let young people accept the ways of the old. It's becoming e{#blank#}1{#/blank#} more difficult in the face of new technologies. So officers gathered in Wuhan, Hubei Province that is proved to be good at m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} children interested in tradition. They shared some lessons. As we all know, many students know little about traditional things. Officers d{#blank#}3{#/blank#} how to make local operas popular in elementary and middle schools. Officers also agreed that every student should get the chance to w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} a traditional opera show for free every year.

    The work of the theatre was divided into three p{#blank#}5{#/blank#}: speech, teaching and performance. By the end of November, about 146 e{#blank#}6{#/blank#} of these kinds were held. Opera artists are often invited to schools to communicate with students and teachers. Traditional opera lessons are t{#blank#}7{#/blank#} in more than 80 percent of its elementary and middle schools. More than 6,600 opera shows were performed at schools that year, and that was h{#blank#}8{#/blank#} praised by students and parents.

    In this way students can have a taste of the traditional beauty of China. "At first I was afraid these events could be a distract (分心) from study. Now I r{#blank#}9{#/blank#} that our children have learned a lot from them," said one parent of No.71 Middle School. One of the officers said o{#blank#}10{#/blank#} parts of the country could learn some lessons from Hubei Province's experiences. They hope students all over China will have the chance to learn the art of traditional operas by the end of 2018.

    Hello! My name is Dave Brown. I'm 13 years old and I come {#blank#}1{#/blank#} America. Now I'm a middle school student.

    I have many good hobbits. I like doing sports and I often {#blank#}2{#/blank#} basketball with my friends. Every Sunday, I would like to climb mountains {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my families. I also have some good eating hobbits. I like eating different kinds of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, such as carrots, tomatoes, potatoes and so on. I like eating bananas and apples, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. But my favorite fruit is strawberry. I don't like eating ice-cream {#blank#}6{#/blank#} there is much sugar in it and that will be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} for my teeth. I think breakfast is very important, so I always get up {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to eat breakfast. And I like to have {#blank#}9{#/blank#} glass of milk before going to bed. It can give {#blank#}10{#/blank#} a good sleep.
