Many years ago, there was a family {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(call) Franklin. They lived {#blank#}2{#/blank#} America. There {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(be) seventeen children in the family. One of the children was born on a January day in 1706. The boy's mother and her husband gave the boy {#blank#}4{#/blank#}name-Benjamin.

    Benjamin was the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (clever) of all the (children). He could read when he was five and he could write {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the age of seven. When he was eight, he was sent to school.

    In school Benjamin had been good at{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(read) and writing but not good at Maths. He read all of his {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(father) books. And whenever he {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(have) a little money, he bought a book with it. He liked books. They told him how{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(do) something. At that time he invented the paddles（脚蹼） for swimming.

    For some teenagers, being an adult(成年人)is the coolest thing in the world. Adults don't do homework {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(and)take exams. They do what they like and make money. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}wonderful！But is it true？

    Last month, Grade 7 students at Sunshine School had a taste of the adult world. The teachers asked them {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(finish)a piece of special homework called" Working with your parents for one day".

    Wu Jing's mother works as {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(an)ticket collector in a park. At 6 a. m, the 14-year-old girl set {#blank#}5{#/blank#}for work with her mother. It was dark and cold.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the park opened, they did some cleaning and prepared for the visitors' coming. When the visitors came, they greeted with a smile. After standing for the whole day, Wu was worn out.

    "She is {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(busy)and more tired than what I thought. I should help her more, "said Wu.

    Li Shiyi, 14, spent her day {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(help)in a car. Her father is a taxi driver. She had to pick calls and give change back. Li thought {#blank#}9{#/blank#}would be easy to sit in a car and tour the city. But soon she found that her father didn't even have time for lunch.

    "Now I know how hard it is to make money, "Li said." We {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(should) care for our parents more and never waste money."

    How does garlic(大蒜) grow? Hu Mengmeng, 13, had been thinking about this question for a while. Last term, Hu {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (get) her answer in her school's rooftop garden.

    Hu's school, Tangwai Junior High School in Shanghai, set up a small garden on its teaching building's rooftop in 2015. Each term, students {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (plant) one kind of vegetables. While taking care of them, they also do scientific experiments (实验) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (learn) more about vegetables.

    Chen Yan, a 14-year-old girl, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study) in this school for one year. Last year, she started to plant garlic with her teacher s help. She wondered how sunshine affected the growth of garlic. She put three pots of garlic in different places to get different amounts of sunlight. Then, she watched their growth every day. Later, she found that the garlic which got the most sunlight {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (grow) best.

    The garden {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (turn) into a fun place two years ago. The students planted different types of vegetables in shapes, such as hearts, or squares in the garden. The different kinds of vegetables made the garden more colorful.

    And that is not the end. Next year, they {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (build) a robot to help with planting. "Students will work with our robot club to build more robots to help with watering," Mr. Zhou, the school's science teacher, said.
