China has made big progress in running competitions! The young 1 Su Bingtian made history on Sunday by becoming the 2 Asian athlete to appear in the men's 100m final at the world athletics championships.

    As the 3 man in China, Su was born in a 4 family in Guangdong in 1989. His parents were both farmers and had a lot of work to do on the farm every day. So Su often helped them with housework at home. Though his study was not very good, he was 5at running than many other boys in his class. He6 this kind of sport very much, so he practised running as often as possible. In 2004, Su started to take part in different competitions and has won many prizes since then. And this year, he managed* to finish 100 metres in 9.99 7. That was the best result in Asia. His dream8! When he heard the news, he could not believe 9 ears.

    Though Su is famous now, he never behaves arrogantly*. Instead, he still works hard 10 he wants to have a better chance of winning! I believe there is a lesson there.

    There was once a boy. He liked watching TV so much that wherever (不论哪里) he went, he 1 arrived late. He couldn't wait to go back to the front of TV, so he never 2 his breakfast or homework.

    One day, the boy got a box, but he didn't know 3 sent it. In the box, there was a pair of glasses and a piece of paper, it said," With these you'll be 4 to see time."

    The boy didn't understand. He 5 the glasses, looked at his brother and saw many flowers on the top of his head. 6 it wasn't just his brother. When he looked at anyone through those glasses, the same thing happened. The only difference was that the older (越老) the person was, the fewer (越少) 7 were on their heads.

    The next morning, when he wore the glasses, he found the flowers on his head go 8 the TV.

    The TV had a big mouth and it ate all his flowers! He was  9 to see that.

    So the boy knew that it was not 10 to watch TV for a long time. He decided not to watch TV like before.

    People already know a lot about animals. However, there are still some things about animals that may surprise you. Here are {#blank#}1{#/blank#}about animals you probably didn't know.

    Cows do have best friends and feel stressed when they are separated. Scientists have found that cows are very social animals and that a cow always {#blank#}2{#/blank#}other cows. When a cow is with its friends, it feels relaxed, compared with when it is alone.

    During a breeding season, a male penguin will offer a small stone to a female penguin as a gift. If she takes it, they will become partners. When the female penguin lays an egg, she and her partner may carry it {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, because some penguins don't build nests.

    Crocodiles (鳄鱼) swallow (吞) stones. Crocodiles always swallow their food instead of eating it like other animals. They swallow stones which break the food into very small pieces in their stomachs. These stones may stay in their stomachs {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Elephants use plants to treat pain or other illnesses. Scientists once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Africa who ate a kind of plant which was not part of her normal food. Four days later, she {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a baby elephant. The same plant was used by the local pregnant women.

We were going to play against a team from a country school. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the match almost began, they came. They looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(bad) than we thought. They were wearing dirty T-shirts and blue jeans and looked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} farm boys. We thought they never saw {#blank#}4{#/blank#} basketball before. We even felt that we {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(need) any practice to play against such a team. It was already so late {#blank#}6{#/blank#} no time could be given to them for a warm-up. The match began. One of our {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(boy) got the ball. And he tried {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(give) it to our forward. But from out of nowhere a boy in a dirty T-shirt caught the ball and he{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(quick) and beautifully shot and got two points. To our surprise, they got another two points in a minute. Soon it was all over. The country team {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(win) the match. Of course we knew that there was still another team better than any good team. 

But the most important lesson we learned this time was: One can't tell a man or a team by the appearance. 

Sara got up early this morning. Today she and her family were going on a hike （远足）. It was Sara's first hike. 

They drove for two hours. Then Sara's mother stopped the car at the foot of the mountain. Sara, her parents and her brother began to walk. There were a lot of tall trees and flowers. Butterflies and bees（蜜蜂） flew around. Sara felt afraid of the bees at first, but soon she didn't because she found the bees were more interested in the flowers. 

After walking for an hour, Sara was tired. "Come on, Sara," said her brother. "You can do it! You're ten years old. That's old enough to hike. " Sara kept going and looking around. There was green grass everywhere. She saw a small rabbit in the grass. Sara shouted in surprise and the rabbit ran away quickly. 

Another hour passed. They got to the top of the mountain. Sara's mother began to take out their picnic （野餐）. There were hamburgers, eggs, beef and juice. "Congratulations, Sara!" said her father. "You have just finished your first hike!" Sara smiled. She thought she liked hiking.
