Donald was not very good at maths. He could not understand the teacher's 1. Even when the teacher explained something again, Donald still could not 2it. “Never mind,” Donald told himself. “I'm quite good at other 3. I cheat (作弊) in the maths exam, then I won't be in4.”

    “My deskmate Brian Smith is best at maths,” he thought, “and I'll be able to 5his answers.”

    The day of the exam came, and Donald sat 6Brian Smith, who always sat at the front of the 7. Donald carefully copied Brian's answers onto his own exam paper. At the end of the exam, the teacher 8the papers and graded (评分) them.

    Then she said, “Well, boys and girls, I've decided to give a9to the student who got the highest grade. It's 10for me to decide whom I will choose, however, because two students, Donald and Brian, got the 11grade.”

    “Let them share it.” one of the 12said.

    “I've thought about that,” the teacher said, “but I've chosen Brian.”

    Donald was 13when he heard this. He stood up and said, “That's not fair.”

    “That's 14,” the teacher said. “However, Brian's answer to Question 18 was 'I don't know.' Yours was 15do I.' ”

Do you love animals? I think you all say "yes". But maybe {#blank#}1{#/blank#} loves them as much as Joel Sartore. Joel is a photographer. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} travelling the world to take pictures of animals.

Joel is working on a project. He is taking photos in different {#blank#}3{#/blank#} around the world. He hopes his photos can encourage people to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} animals in danger. "My job is to tell their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} stories and I hope the world cares about them in time," he said. Joel calls his project the Photo Ark (影像方舟). He started the project in 2006 in his hometown of Nebraska, the US. And now he's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} working on it. He took his 10,000th {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in 2020. It was a small wildcat in America.

Joel puts each animal on a black or {#blank#}8{#/blank#} background and then takes photos of them. This helps people see their true colors and lets people see a little mouse as {#blank#}9{#/blank#} as a big elephant.

Joel shows his photos around the world and puts {#blank#}10{#/blank#} on the Internet, too. He also asks people to buy his photos, give money to the Photo Ark, and support zoos in their cities.

Keeping animals and planting vegetables at school? This is what the students are doing at Zhuxi Middle School in Yangzhou, Jiangsu. The school has a small farm. There are seven chickens, three 1 and a pig on the farm. There is also a place for students to 2 vegetables. "We have got potatoes and tomatoes here," says a seventh-grader. "In autumn, we can give 3 to the cooks at our school.

Zhuxi Middle School is not the 4 one to let students do farm work. In Chongqing No.1 Secondary School, we can also see vegetables on the top of the teaching building. Students grow them with the 5 of their parents and teachers. You can easily see their 6 faces when they are farming.

 "We feel so satisfied that we jump up and down happily when we see our hard work can really make the plants grow," a student says. "And it's really a good 7 for us to get close to the nature and relax at school."

Teachers 8 the students can know about subjects like biology more easily by seeing 9 they work in real life. They can know that good results (结果) 10 hard work. And they can also learn to be responsible (责任) by looking after the animals and plants. 

Just like other students, I'll never forget my school-leavers' party. I was studying at an{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(国际) school. And just before our junior high school {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(教育) ended, we held an unforgettable party. 

We i{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to make the hall look nice so we decorated(装饰) the hall from ceiling to floor with paper flowers and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(气球). There were flags from all over the world h{#blank#}5{#/blank#} on the walls. The African students {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(领导) us all in with the wonderful drumming — you could hear a strong b{#blank#}7{#/blank#} from far away. 

There was some food from six different countries on the menu, such as dumplings and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(薄烤饼). And the menu was made in English. We all raised our glasses and said, "Cheers, everyone! Let's w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} each of us success for the future. " We enjoyed o{#blank#}10{#/blank#} at the party. What an unforgettable memory!

In 1942,a boy named Stephen was born in England. He liked discovering things and it was a1 for him to take clocks apart.

 He could keep reading books at meals, but he found school 2 and didn't try very hard."He 3 finishes his homework!" said one. "Also, his handwriting is really messy!" Most of the other kids considered him strange, but Stephen didn't 4 being thought of as different. He made friends with other boys who shared the same 5 with him. They liked to have big discussions about the universe.

 One day, Stephen read about a new kind of machine called"computer" in a newspaper."With one of those, I could 6 the rules of the universe!" he thought. At that time, computers were very big and 7 . There was no way a schoolboy could afford one, so Stephen and his friends decided to 8 their own computer. They got the parts from clocks and old electronic devices. The other kids were all amazed when they presented it in class!

 When Stephen was 21, he got a special 9 so he was unable to walk or talk. However, he did not let this stop him from 10 the important theories about the universe. Stephen Hawking became famous as one of the most important scientists of all time!
