Have you ever picked strawberries yourself? The sweet fruit looks nice, but light pressure can make them out shape, so you have to be very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (care) when picking them. Nowadays, there {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) many young people who are just like strawberries. They {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (easy) break down when they face difficulties. There is a name for them –strawberry kids.

 Why are many children so easy to break down? Many students are the only child in their family. Their parents do almost everything for  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}   (they) in their daily life. They hardly ever get criticized (被批评) at home and always feel good about themselves. If these students are criticized strictly by teachers, they {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   (feel) upset and begin to doubt their own abilities. Many schools care more about   {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (student) grades instead of developing their personality. As a result, students get satisfying grades {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  they are not mentally（精神上地）strong enough.

 Young people should learn how ot make themselves mentally strong. An expert said, “Whenever you are in trouble, don't ask for help too quickly. You should try {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  ( deal) with problems first by yourself. Take an active part{#blank#}9{#/blank#}  sports and social activities. That can help you become mentally strong.”

 Growing up is not just a happy process. Pains also go along.  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}   most important thing is to face the pains bravely and learn from them.

    Mary has {#blank#}1{#/blank#} cousins. They are Betty, Peter, Bill and Ann.

    Mary is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (old) of five. Betty is thirteen years old. She is two years younger {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Mary and one year older than Peter. Ann is the youngest and she is naughty(淘气的). When her mother asks her {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（wash） hands, he never washes them {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (careful). She only puts her hands in the water {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a few seconds(秒) and took them out again. Betty and Peter are good at {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(run). They also like playing basketball. Peter plays {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(good) than Betty. Bill and Mary study in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} same school. They study in No.1 School. Both of them always get good {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (grade).

    There are many places of interest in Hangzhou. Last month, when my uncle Ted invited my family to go there, I was really excited.

    We got there {#blank#}1{#/blank#} plane. We spent three hours in total on the way. When we landed {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (safe), it was 11:00 at night. We found a nice hotel to live in. And we chose a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} /'stændəd/ room with two single beds. It was very clean. And the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (condition) there were very good.

    The next morning we had a big breakfast. Then we couldn't {#blank#}5{#/blank#} /weit/ to visit the West Lake. The scenery(风景) there was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} beautiful that we all lost ourselves in it. We rode bikes there and had a wonderful time.

     On the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (two) day we visited the Yue Temple(岳庙). It's famous for our national hero, Yue Fei. We couldn't find a {#blank#}8{#/blank#} / 'prɔpə/ place to take photos because there were too many people. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we were a little tired, we still felt very happy.

    I'm looking forward to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (visit) it again. If you go there, I'm sure you will enjoy yourself, too.

    The aim of students who came to school is to study. But to s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} requires a right way, or you waste e{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.

    The b{#blank#}3{#/blank#} time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that r{#blank#}4{#/blank#} , we can get good results.

    In studying we must have patience. If we have not k{#blank#}5{#/blank#} a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one u{#blank#}6{#/blank#} we have learned the first one.

    When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get n{#blank#}7{#/blank#} from the book while we are reading.

    We must always ask “whys”. If it is not w{#blank#}8{#/blank#} understood, write it down and ask our teachers or parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we've learned can be used well and made better.

    T{#blank#}9{#/blank#} there are many ways for studying, yet the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do s{#blank#}10{#/blank#} .

    An education program in Chengdu teaches children in cities about pandas and other {#blank#}1{#/blank#} animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of saving these animals. The children sing songs or make artwork about pandas and other wild animals. Teaching children is one {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to help save pandas. The Chinese government is also trying {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas. We all hope that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} there will be a lot more pandas than now.

Dear Lin Tao,

    I was happy to read your letter. You asked me for some{#blank#}1{#/blank#}on learning English. At first, I also found it hard to remember so many words and phrases. Then I found that the best way was{#blank#}2{#/blank#}learn their pronunciations. There are some useful rules in the pronunciation, and they can help me remember new words{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I also had some grammar problems when I was in the first grade. I tried to read more. Now it isn't very{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.for me to understand the sentences and passages. That's my secret of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} English. I hope it helps you. Please never give up!

Yours,

Mary
