It is school time again, a new start of a new period.

    You are, probably feeling excited and a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of the new things, new teachers, and maybe even a new school. Luckily, these new worries only stay for a little while.

    On your first day, most teachers start the school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you'll do that year. Maybe you'll have a chance to tell something about yourselves to the others of the class. The most important thing for you is to learn new rules and follow them. After all, rules can make the school life better. Besides, the most exciting thing for you is to meet new friends in a new place. The first day of school doesn't sound bad, but there is some advice for you to make you a better person, such as developing good learning habits, making a good plan and taking your new schoolwork seriously. The last but not the least is to have fun in your new school.

    As the saying goes: Good beginning is half done.

    Walt Disney began to make cartoon movies when he was a young man. But he didn't have much money then. One day a mouse ran near his desk while he was working in his small office.

    ＂Would you like to be my pet?＂ Disney decided to make a cartoon about it.

    ＂I am making a cartoon about a mouse named Mortimer,＂ he told his wife.

    ＂Mortimer Mouse? I think Mickey Mouse would be a better name,＂ she said.

    ＂You are right. It would,＂ Disney agreed and made many Mickey Mouse cartoons.

    People all over the world saw Mickey and loved it. Mickey Mouse made Disney famous. Then came Donald Duck, and Goofy Dog and others. Disney began to make long cartoons. Then he made cartoon movies for television.

    In 1955, Disney opened a wonderful land of make-believe in California. Real boats, castles, trains, mountains, rivers, all are in one beautiful park. Millions of people came to Disneyland.

    He died in 1966, but the world will not forget him. Mickey Mouse and all his cartoons will help us to remember him.

In the Spring and Autumn period of China, there was a great man called Yan Zi. Yan Zi was a short man, but he was very 1 . He was an ambassador (大使) of the Qi Kingdom. Ambassadors went to other countries and 2 to their kings. One day the King of Qi let Yan Zi 3 to meet King Ling of Chu. 

King Ling didn't like the King of Qi. He told his people 4 a small gate (门). When Yan Zi 5 , the gate keeper let him get into the 6 through the gate. Yan Zi 7 "This gate is for dogs. Is this city for dogs 8 for people?" Hearing this, King Ling had to open the city gate for him. 

When he 9 Yan Zi, King Ling said, "Are there few people in your country? Why did your king make you his ambassador to Chu?" Yan Zi answered, "There 10 tens of thousands of people in my country, my lord. Good ambassadors go to good kingdoms. Poor (差) ambassadors go to poor kingdoms." How smart Yan Zi was!

I was in the classroom. This was 1 first lesson in junior high school. It was 2 . I used to feel bored in Chinese classes, so I hoped my new Chinese teacher would be 3 . 

Here came a woman teacher. She 4 " Li" on the blackboard. "This is my family name, " she 5 . "You can call me Ms Li. Now tell me what you want me to do in my lessons. " We were surprised. 6 could a student ask a teacher to do things? Everyone was in silence(沉默). 

Ms Li smiled and said, "Don't be 7 . Just tell me what you really want to say about our Chinese 8 . I will try my best to meet all the needs of 9 . " Hearing what she said, we were excited and started to say our needs 10 worries. "Not too much 11 ";"Finish class on time";"Make the class fun". We talked a lot and Ms Li didn't stop us. 

When we finished, Ms Li said, "First, you will not have much homework, but you should 12 it on time. Second, my classes will be fun, 13 you can't play too much. Third, I will finish class on time. But you must 14 me carefully(认真地) in class. All right?""OK!" all of us answered happily. 

I think Chinese is very useful in our life, so it is really 15 to learn Chinese well. I'm sure our Chinese classes will have a lot of fun because of this interesting teacher. I may never get bored with Chinese classes. 

After four months of digging, the Ningbo Cultural Heritage Research Institute shared what they found at the Malangxia site (马廊厦遗址) on August 29. The exciting discovery in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, China, has helped us learn more about how people lived and how society changed over a very long time.

The site is 2,000 m² big, and 102 things were found like ash pits (坑), houses, tombs (坟墓), and roads. They were made in the middle and lower parts of the Changjiang River area. Imagine digging up layers (层) of history like layers of cake! The Malangxia Site has five different layers, and each one is like a different chapter in a book, telling us about a different time period.

The first layer is from the Shang-Zhou dynasties, and we found a special tomb. As we move up to the next layer. Here, we found lots of cool things like houses, pits, tombs, and roads. They are like photos that record the life at that time. The third isn't as full as the others. We only found one tomb. But the fourth layer has a lot of findings, with pits, tombs and holes. These things show us how art styles from the north and south of China mixed together.

Local experts say that the Malangxia Site is the biggest and best-kept archaeological (考古的) site in Yuyao so far. It's like a treasure box full of history that helps us understand how society changed over thousands of years. It's amazing to think that just by digging, we can learn so much about people who lived long ago!

 Museums are active centers of learning, In a science museum, people can learn about nature and technology as well as physics and chemistry. Visiting museums is a good choice to spend a holiday for people of all ages. But there are some rules when visiting museums. Take an art museum, for example.

Keep quiet. You can talk, but keep the voice down and be polite to those around you. You should turn off your phone or put it on silent. Sounds from your phone may disturb(打扰) others. If a call must be made, you should go outside to make it.

Ask before taking photos.Some museums welcome visitors to photograph or videotape works of art. However, please be careful with the sign"no photography" which means taking photos is not allowed for that work or exhibition(展览). If you take photos without permission, you will be in trouble. Maybe you will be punished.

 Do not touch works of art! Your touch may not seem like much, but even the slightest(最轻的) touch can image the surface of a painting, discolor stone, and even rust metal. Keep a safe distance between you and ch work of art. This helps to avoid accidental touching.

 Never bring food or drinks into the museum. It's no good eating or drinking there. The art in the museum will provide plenty of food for thought as well as a dinner for the eyes!

Running and pushing are not allowed in the museum.Proper museum behavior is necessary to avoid accidentally hitting or damaging works of art.

 Remember: ____ . If you obey them, you will surely enjoy yourself in the museum.
