January is a great month. I only need to go to school from the first to the fifteenth. Every year, our school has an art festival. This year it is from January 13^th to January 15^th. All the students and parents can come to the festival. My mother says she can go to the festival with me, but my father can't. He is busy. All people can sing, dance and play games at the festival. After the festival, the term is over. I don't need to go to school and can have a long holiday. My parents and I want to take a trip in Sanya, Hainan. And we want to spend (度过) our Spring Festival(春节)there. We will come back to Beijing on February 15^th. I'm sure we'll enjoy it!

    A beautiful actress called Rudy Lin finally got married with Wallace Huo in 2016. Many of her fans felt happy for her

    Born on January 1,1976, Rudy grew up in Taipei, Taiwan. She is the eldest children of her family. She has one a year younger brother and the other one six years younger. Her father was a businessman, and her mother was a housewife. Her English name was from her mother's love of the jewel. When Lin was seven years old, her parents broke their marriage. She lived with her mother. She graduated from Ri Xin Primary School and Zhong Dian High School. She planned to go to England to study after high school graduation.

However, in her second year of high school, she first got involved in film and TV industry. So she went to have a try. She told herself that if her filming career didn't take off, she could still go back to school. When she received her first experience in front of the camera in 1995, acting a minor role, she became interested in acting. After filming her first TV commercial, Lin caught the attention of TV and film directors. In 1995, Lin received her first role in a film called School Day. The same year, she also acted as the supporting role in Taiwanese TV dramas. In 1996, Lin went to mainland China for the first time to film. She considered it as a valuable experience and the time that she began to learn about acting. In 1997, Lin became popular as the beloved Princess Ziwei in the series called My Fair Princess.

    In 2000, she worked in Hong Kong TVB's production of The Duke of Mount Deer with Dicky Cheung, Shu Qi and other well-known performers. As Lin felt she had achieved all she could in television, she also appeared in three Hong Kong films in 2000. Since 2001, Lon has focused on her career I mainland China and became successful. In 2002, she appeared in the romantic TV series Boy & Girl which was broadcast throughout China by CCTV. With this series, Lin was selected one of the Top 10 actresses of the year. Of those 10 actresses, she was the only one from Taiwan. From then, she became more and more famous. Though her parents didn't agree her to be an actress at first, they finally accepted it for her success and passion.

With a big black birthmark（胎记）on his face, Thomas never had any friends. He always felt very1 . However, things started to 2 that evening. Before going to bed, his mother handed him a 3 . 

Dear Thomas, 

How are you? I know that you feel sad 4 your birthmark, but you cannot change that. Instead of feeling bad for your look, you should 5 for yourself. Go to do surprising things that would change everybody's opinion (看法） about you. 

Your aunt

Thomas felt 6 in his heart. After that day, Thomas got more letters from other family 7 , like his uncle and grandparents. They all encouraged （鼓励） him to be brave to do what he wanted. 

8 the encouragement, Thomas played a drama (戏剧） on his school day. The whole school cheered for him. He became more and more confident. 

One day, Thomas found a box full of letters in his mother's room. He read 9 one by one. He found that the letters were his mother's writing and understood all of it. Many years 10 , as a successful person, he was still thankful to his mother. 

Friends are part of our lives. In my life, I have a best friend who means a lot to me. My life would be less colorful without her. Although we always have arguments, we still treat each other as best friend.

We met each other four years ago. She said hello to me with a sweet smile. I guessed that she was a gentle (温和的) girl. And she really was. She often took good care of me. When I was in trouble, she always stood by me and made me feel better.

This winter holiday, we went to the amusement park (游乐园) Happy Valley together. We had a great time together on the roller coaster (过山车). We held each other's hands and shouted in a loud voice when we were riding the roller coaster. We were so excited. The ride made me feel a little sick, so she bought a bottle of water for me. This experience left me with a lot of good memories and made our friendship stronger.

Many adults think that children can't be friends forever. But I don't think so. Maybe we can't always spend all of our time together. But I will enjoy the time I spend with her and the good memories she has given me.

Complete the summary of the passage above with only one word for each blank.

Three years ago, I started working at the University(大学) of Leeds. Having moved to a new city, I had no friends, so I decided to look for things to do. After several days, I found that a community school was offering(提供) Chinese evening classes. Without much thought, I had a beginner class. 

I didn't think about moving to China. I just wanted to learn a new language. I could speak good English and Spanish. But I thought there might be a large difference between learning a language as a child and learning one as an adult(成年人). There was one lesson a week, each lasting 90 minutes. Mr Kong, the teacher, was energetic. For each class, he would teach us about hundreds of new words. I found it difficult at first. Luckily, after a few months, I got used to(习惯) this. The University of Leeds had many students from other countries. My new Chinese friends helped me go over everything I learned in class. And we often studied together and talked about how to learn better. 

I think Chinese grammar is easier than English grammar. But there are so many idioms(习语)! So I will work hard to solve any difficulty and I believe it'll be easy for me soon.
