The ocean is no longer a safe place for many creatures. For many years, 1 activities such as polluting and overfishing(过度捕捞) have made it 2 for many creatures to live in it. In 2015, Chile, a country in South America, tried to 3 that. It created the Nazca-Desventuradas Marine Park. It is the 4 ocean reserve in North or South America. It is about 115,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean. That's about the 5 of the state of Arizona, USA.

    No 6 or any other kind of harmful human activity will be 7 in the waters in that area. That's good news for the sea creatures that live in that part of the Pacific Ocean. The area is 8 to many unusual creatures not found anywhere else in the world.

    2015 was a big year for protecting the world's oceans. In total, more than one million square miles of ocean were 9 protected in the year.

    Liesbeth van der Meer is a scientist at Oceana, a group working to 10 the oceans. She said Chile's new reserve was a great victory(胜利) for the world's oceans.

    Do you know the book The Rough Patch? It is a new book by US writer Brian Lies. Kids love it because of the wonderful story and beautiful pictures in it.

    Evan, a fox, lives with his dog. They do everything together. They play, read and eat. Their favorite thing is working in Evan's garden. In the garden, plants grow big and beautiful. But friends don't always stay together forever. One day, Evan's dog dies. Evan is very sad because he loses his best friend. Every time he goes to the garden, he thinks of his dead dog. He can't stop his tears running. Feeling lost and angry, Evan destroys (摧毁) his garden.

    A good place will not stay empty for long. New plants quietly start to grow. One day, Evan finds a small pumpkin vine (南瓜藤) in his garden. He becomes happy again. He starts to look after it and taking care of the new plant gets him out of the sadness. Autumn comes and there is a very big pumpkin on the vine. It is fair (集市) week. Evan takes his big pumpkin to the fair. He meets his old friends there. He enjoys many delicious foods. Best of all, his big pumpkin wins him a prize: 10 dollars or a baby dog. What does Evan choose? You might know the answer.

As a funny student, Brian loved watching comedies best and hoped to become a comedy actor one day. When he 1 the talent show to be held at this school, Brian decided to take part in it. 

He had 2 acted in public before, so he was very excited. But some students 3 him." You are not funny b u t 4 ." Ken, one of his classmates, said." No one will like what you do," another boy also said to him loudly.

 Brian couldn't 5 why they were so unkind to him. For a moment, he thought about giving up the show. But he remembered 6 his friends liked his jokes, and also his teachers said he was very funny. So he decided to preparc for the 7 .

 Brian did a great 8 at the talent show. Everyone loved his performance, and he won the first prize! His teachers and friends were proud of him and said he would be 9 in the future. Even so, Ken told Brian that he was not funny. Brian didn't understand why Ken said so, but he realized that it had 10 to do with him. He 11 continued to work toward s his dream.

 As the years went on, Brian met more people like Ken. Luckily, most people 12 him and some helped him to become even 13 . He got a lot of chances to perform in movies. He was even invited to appear on television.

 Now Brian is a famous comedy 14 ! He is doing what he loves best. He never feels worried like those unkind people, and he laughs all day long!

 Remember the bottom line is that you can't let the behavior of others 15 your joy. Focus on being the best and happiest that you can be— that's where your energy should go.

One early morning, I woke up by a telephone call. It was from a taxi driver. He told me he had my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（friend）cell phone（手机）.My friend Michael {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（leave）it in the taxi the night before. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} driver called others, but I was the first one to answer his call.

It was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a rainy morning. For taxi drivers in this big city, it's the best time{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（make）money. He asked me where he could drop the cell phone off. I told {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（he）the street where I lived. Then I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（quick）jumped out of bed and got dressed, so I could meet him at the corner.

When he arrived, I thanked him. And I was even {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（happy）than my friend. He moved to this country a few weeks ago— and I could only imagine（设想）how important his cell phone was to him!

I asked the taxi driver for his name, so my friend could thank him. He said my {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（thank）were all that he needed. Then he drove off.

I e-mailed my friend telling him I had his phone. In the evening, he came to my home and I told him {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I got it. My friend was very excited to get back his cell phone. He said he would help others as much as possible.

Hi! I'm Jane. Welcome to my home. Look! {#blank#}1{#/blank#} In the photo you can see an English girl. She is my cousin. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Linda is her first name. Smith is her last name.
