I like reading. I love many different kinds of books, because they not only open my mind but also give me {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

    Up to now I have read a lot of books, such as magazines, novels and storybooks. But one of the books that I like best is The Story of My Life. Itwas {#blank#}2{#/blank#} by American writer Helen Keller in 1902. She was a blind, deaf and dumb person. In the book, she wrote that she had not been able to see, hear or speak {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she was one year and seven months old. This unusual thing made her very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Luckily, she met her good teacher, Miss Sullivan {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the age of seven. Helen was getting happier every day. Then, Miss Sullivan helped her learn how to write English words. Atfirst, Miss Sullivan wrote some words on Helen's hands with her own fingers again and again. Helen was a very {#blank#}6{#/blank#} girl. She tried as much as possible to remember words. After that, she wrote many famous works. The Story of My Life is one of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}.

The Story of My Life describes her hard struggle(奋斗) to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a good writer and educationist of the world.

    It {#blank#}9{#/blank#} us an important truth: Nothing is {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ifyou put your heart into it! This is why I like it best. What about you? 

1. Do you yawn (打哈欠)? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They do not know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. 

2. We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. 

3. Many people say they yawn because they are bored or tired. That might be true. People do often yawn before they sleep and after they wake up. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. 

4. Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you are young, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (强化) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums (耳膜) stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. 

5. In some countries, people think yawning is not nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. 

6. Scientists do not spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It is just something we do. 

There is a great shop in Linda Tut High School in the USA. It's not the same as other shops. The students in the school can get their favourite things for free(免费)there. That sounds y interesting, right?

{#blank#}1{#/blank#} It wants to help students to be nice to other people. After they do good things others, the students can get some points(积分). {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Also, the students can help in the shop in their free time. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} They can learn some skills(工作技能)there. 

The shop sells things to the students three days a week, from Monday to Wednesday. Every Tuesday, the shop is open to other people for one hour. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

Because of the shop, many people in need get help. The students in this school learn a lot, . What a great shop!
