When I was a small boy, something happened to me that made me never put any wild creature in a cage.

    We lived near a forest, and every evening the mockingbird would come and1 I decided to catch a young 2and keep it in a cage, and in this way, I would have my own private musician. Then I succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird was3so it fluttered (扑腾) in the cage. But finally it was used to living in its new home. I felt very excited with myself and4 some beautiful singing.

    On the second day, the little bird's mother flew to the cage with5 in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything. I was6to see this. Certainly the mother bird knew how to feed her baby better than I did.

    The following morning when I went to see my bird, I found it 7on the floor of the cage. I was terribly surprised and sad! What had happened?

    Arthur Wayne, a famous biologist, happened to8 my father at that time. After she knew my story, she explained to me, “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will9 bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her baby to die than to lose10”.

    Since then I have never caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living things have a right to live free.

    The school music club opens. Tony wants 1 the club, but he doesn't like to go alone(单独）. He likes his friends to go to the 2 with him. So he 3 them at home, but everyone is 4 .

Alice is having her 11 birthday party. Her parents are making a cake for her. We can see twelve candles(蜡烛)on the table.

    Kate is helping her brother 12 his English. He always doesn't do 13 in his tests.

    Tom is playing baseball with his sister. It is his favorite 14 .

Tony is not happy15no one can go to the club with him.

I am a book lover. So my house is forever full of1. I have new ones, old ones, hard covers, paperbacks,2and non-stories. I have three boxes of books in my closet, two boxes of books on the floor of my bedroom, and a box of children's books3 for my future grandchildren. I have even more books4the two I wrote on my desk. I try to keep the books5 building up by donating as many as I can to the local6, but as soon as I donate a few, I find myself buying a few more.

   Books Iread keep my mind young, and my heart7,and soul bright. They bring me knowledge, laughter, and joy. They connect me withthe wisdom of the past and the new ideas of the8.They keep me moving on the right path as a journey through life.

    I havelearned that people are a lot like books as well. Some have bright and shiny covers9  don't have very much to say inside of them. Otherslook old and plain but so full of10and light that reading them can11yourwhole life. One difference between books and people, though, is that while a bookhas an ending, the writing inside of us12forever.

Take care when writing the book of your own life. Fill it with love for yourself, others and this world. Fill it with all the wisdom you have learned, goodness you have done,13you have shared, and joy you have14. Keep writing it every day, too. Make it everything you are and everything you want to be, and then15it to everyone. I know it will be a wonderful and fantastic book.

Cao Chenzhe is a 16-year-old boy. He was known for his1 act because he saved his classmate's life, using Heimlich maneuver.

Cao recalled that he could perform this first aid thanks to a(n)2 education class. He called on all of people to take the learning3 . Every student should learn to protect themselves or others in a scientific way. And someone advised there should be more4 of learning, such as online competitions and role-plays. Here is the way of performing Heimlich maneuver.

First, stand behind the person.

Second, make a fist with one hand.

Third, put your arms5 the person and grasp (抓) your fist with the other hand near the top of the stomach.

Fourth, make a quick and hard movement inward and upward.

Last but not the least, this way isn't suitable for the children under one year old.

A few years ago, I was a housewife looking after my kids. One day, my two-year-old 1 pointing at several "stood" color maker pens, cheered excitedly, "Mummy, look! I did 2 ." With the encouragement of such a 3 , he quickly got together another handful of long and thin ball-pens, trying to do the same—making them 4 on the table. Little by little, his face5 red. 6 he cried out, "Mummy, help!"

7 all the ball-pens in his hand had either sharp or round ends, I said relaxedly, "Mummy 8 help you on this." But at once he cried loudly and fell to the floor. A moment later, he ran back to the table, and 9 trying to keep the ball-pens standing up.

Without knowing 10 the ball-pens can't stand up, my son accepted the impossibility 11 many times of unsuccessful tries. He put aside all the 12 , and kept only those marker-pens for this standing up "game". This time he finished in this way again. Clearly, he already learned to let go of this 13 try.

Being persistent（坚持不懈的）is not easy. But sometimes, it is even 14 to let go. In our daily life, perhaps we don't need to face many problems 15 we know how to realize those unlikely achievable goals, and then decisively let go of them right away.

I'm Jack. In my family, all of us like animals. I like pandas best. Pandas live in China. They are cute and lovely. They like eating bamboo (竹子). They are black and white. My father doesn't like lions, but he likes tigers very much. He thinks tigers are strong and the king of the beasts (兽中之王). My mother keeps some chickens, ducks and pigs in the yard. The chickens and ducks lay eggs (下蛋). They like to walk around in the yard. My grandfather keeps five sheep. They are white. After breakfast, my grandfather takes them out and goes back home in the afternoon. 

Do you like animals? I think you can keep some animals too.
