    "We must collect food now，"said the queen of the ants."If we don't，what will we do when 2comes？"

    "Oh，winter is a long way off，"said the grasshopper."You take life much too 3."

    "But you must 4today if you want to eat tomorrow，"said the little ant."You can play your violin after you've finished your work."

We're still in Ireland. We 1 in Dublin four days ago. My sister and I liked it a lot— it was great —we weren't bored at all. Then yesterday, after lunch, Dad hired (租) a car and we travelled to the west of Ireland—it didn't 2 very long, just about two and a half hours, but that was a bit 3 .

However, after two hours, Dad 4 to us and said, "We've got a surprise for you. Tonight, our hotel is a castle (城堡). How exciting!" "A joke, right?" " 5 !" We didn't think he was serious, but he 6 !

At the 7  of the journey, we stopped outside a real castle. A nice lady 8  us and started to show us around. What an amazing place! Can you believe that we 9  fifty stone steps to get to the living room? 

The castle is over 600 years old, but. it had 10 we needed. There was a 11 for our parents and we each had a bedroom. too. But I didn't sleep very well last night-I was so excited to be in a real castle!

This morning we had breakfast and then we climbed up to the 12  of the castle. We were amazed at the beautiful countryside around us. Then it started to rain and there was a 13  rainbow-I love rainbows! 

The place was so great and we didn't want to 14 . This afternoon we want to go to Limerick, so we're packing our bags again! 15 it be as good as a castle? Let's see.

On August 3, 2024, Zheng Qinwen made history at the Paris Olympics because she won the gold medal in women's singles tennis. She beat a player from Croatia and became the first Asian(亚洲的) tennis player to win in this event. It was only China's second Olympic gold medal in tennis, after Li Na and Sun Tiantian won a women's doubles title(女子双打) at Athens 2004. It was the first in singles.

 Zheng's body hurt badly during the match but she kept playing until the very last minute. After her big win, Zheng carried the Chinese national flag around the tennis court and then carefully placed it on her chair. Zheng Qinwen sard, National honor(荣誉) is above personal success."

 When Zheng Qinwen was a child, she really wanted to win one gold medal for China. She always dreamed of one day joining Yao Ming, I is Xiang and Ii Na, and to be as successful and important as they were. So she trained really hard to make her dream come true. Zheng hopes more children will dream of playing tennis, keep believing in their dreams and work hard to stand on such a stage in the future.

There are many stories of rich people who were poor but worked hard to be{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(成功). Many of them keep their money to themselves or share it just with their family together. But one man called Sarath Babu is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (计划) to use his money to help poor people. And he set a good{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (榜样)for us. 

When Sarath Babu was young , he lived in the slum (贫民窟) of India with his mother. His family had{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（几乎）nothing at that time, but his mother took the education{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (认真) . At school, he was a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(辛勤的) student and always got good {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(成绩). Then he went to university. After he finished university, he started his own restaurant called Food King. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (虽然) it was difficult at the beginning , he never gave up. One of the main {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (理由) why he can succeed finally is that he sold healthy food cheaply. Many people came to his restaurant. Sarath hired(雇佣) people from the slum to work at his restaurant. He wanted to give them a better life than before. 

Now, he has seven restaurants that are doing very well, and has 250 workers. Some day he hopes to have more restaurants and give people the best{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(服务).
