It's the day before school starts. Mum takes her three little boys, Jim, Bob and Tom, shopping for clothes and school things. There are so many people in the shopping center. "Stay with me, "Mum says. But it doesn't take a long time for her kids to go here and there.

    While Jim is trying on a new shirt, Bob goes away. He is thirsty and runs to buy three bottles of cola. While Bob is looking for a pair of shoes, Mum can't find Tom. He sees his classmate Jack, so he goes to talk with him. While Tom is choosing a schoolbag. Jim and Bob are out of sight(在视野之外). They drink too much cola and go to the bathroom(厕所).

    It's seven when they get home. Mum is really tired. She gets a pen and writes one rule(规定)on the list of "Family Rules"一Shop with one boy each time.

    Jackson was excited！He and his family were on their way to the White House, Jackson could not wait to see the President's official residence. He had been reading all about it so that he might recognize some things he saw. After standing in a long line, Jackson, his sister, and their parents were allowed to enter the 132-room, six-floor mansion. They entered through the East Wing. Jackson knew that he and his family were only four of the 6, 000 people who would visit this incredible house that day.

    The first room they were shown by the guide was the State Dining Room. Jackson learned that 140 dinner guests could cat there at one time. "What a great place for a huge birthday party！"Jackson thought.

    The Red Room was shown next. Red stain(绸缎)adorned its walls. The third room the visitors entered was the Blue Room. This room serves as the main reception room for the President's guests. Jackson wondered when the President would be out to greet him. After all, he was a guest, too.

    The Green Room was the fourth room on the tour. Jackson and his family were not surprised to find green silk covering the walls in this room.

    The last room was the biggest room in the White House. It is called the East Room. Here guests are entertained after formal dinners. Jackson wondered if they could vary the entertainment by rolling in huge movie screens so they could all watch the latest movies. He wondered if kids were invited sometimes; maybe they had huge, bouncy boxes you could jump in. Perhaps they even set up huge ramps(坡道)so all the kids could practice skateboarding and roller blading. How fun！

    Jackson loved his tour of the White House. He was just sorry that he did not get to see the living parts of the President's family. He wondered if the President had to make his bed every day！

When Robert was about two years old, he tried to remove a bottle of milk from the fridge but it fell, spilling (洒出) milk all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have seldom seen so much milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

In fact, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up and bring everything back to its proper order."

After they cleaned up the spilled milk, his mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it."

The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. At that moment he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just good chances for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't work", we usually learn something valuable from it.

Hello! I'm Zhang Heping. Zhang is my1 name. Heping is my 2 name. 1'm a 3 boy. I'm4 . My English 5 is Paul. I'm6 Class One, Grade Seven. Oh. I find7 eraser in my classroom. It's8 . Now it is in the lost 9 found case. You can10 658-6535.

Here is the story of a special plant. Because of this plant, the population at that time increased a lot. 

Long ago, there was a man named Chen Zhenlong and he was born in Fujian. Then he went to Luzon island for work. There were many waterways to Luzon, So he took a boat to get there. In Luzon, Chen found that the local people ate sweet potatoes, and they could easily plant them. He wanted to bring the sweet potatoes back to his hometown, because they might change the situation of the food shortage(短缺). But it was not an easy thing. Chen was learning how to grow sweet potatoes while he was thinking about how to bring them back. One day he put a potatoes vine(藤) into the absorbent rope(吸水绳) and then brought it back to his hometown. After getting home , Chen began to plant sweet potatoes and finally he was successful. 

The weather was bad in Fujian and many people didn' t have enough food. Chen told the government that the sweet potatoes could help people. So the government let people plant sweet potatoes. After that, the sweet potatoes became a common plant in China. At that time, 85% of the people depended on sweet potatoes for food. People then had enough food and the population increased quickly. 

"OK, everyone, it' s time for the Challenge Game," called Coach Nicki. "At first, let' s have a1 . I' ll call out a player's name. That player 2 a teammate to challenge," said Coach Nicki. "Both players shoot ongoal(球门). If you score, you' re done. If you miss, you return to the sideline and 3 another challenge."

Terrible,I thought, because I had heard about it but 4 played it.

"Lina, you' re up," he said. Lina chose to challenge Tori, the top player on our5 . Tori dribbled(运球) her ball to the field. Hers went in. But Lina' s6 a lot.

"Isabel, you' re up," said Coach Nicki.

"I challenge Lina," Isabel said. Lina smiled and dribbled out on the field 7 Isabel. They both took their shots. Lina' s ball was closer than before but still missed.

One by one, my teammates all picked Lina. Lina's shots got better but still missed. If I kept missing, I'd probably cry. But she didn't look8 !

"Marta!" Coach Nicki called on me. " 9 should I choose to challenge?" I considered.

"Lina," I heard myself say. Lina gave me a big smile.

10 , both of our shots hit the crossbar(门框) and went into the goal.

At the end of the practice, Coach Nicki 11 us all together. "Remember, you' ll miss every shot if you don't take, so be brave out there."

At the game, I got the ball in front of the net. I was close enough to shoot,12 I couldn't move. Suddenly, I remembered how13 Lina was at the Challenge Game. I passed it to her.

14 took a shot and passed the goalkeeper! We were up, 1-0.

"Nice shot, Lina!" I called. "You' re a great player," she said to me. "Take a 15 in the next half."

As we ran off the field, I promised myself I'd accept Lina's challenge.
