Protecting wild animals is our duty. Because wild animals are important to us. They live with us on the earth together. If there are no animals on the earth, we will not live on, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. So we should take good care {#blank#}2{#/blank#} them to help us live a healthy life.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} some people still don't realize the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （important）of protecting wild animals. They often kill wild animals for food or for money. Every day many wild animals are being {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （kill）. So lots of animals have died out（灭绝）. We can't see them anymore. Today the number of wild animals {#blank#}6{#/blank#} becoming smaller and smaller. If we don't protect them, they will die out. If this goes on, the earth will be no animals left on the earth.

{#blank#}7{#/blank#} （luck）, more and more people have begun to do many things to help protect wild animals. They ask people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （stop） killing wild animals. They get people to know that protecting wild animals is one of the most important things. Now many countries have made some laws（法律）to protect wild animals. Now that（既然） wild animals are so important to man, we should do our {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （good） to protect them and it means human beings can make friends with animals and get on well with {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （they）.

    Strangely enough, some inventions are lost {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people can't imagine their {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (valuable). A use may need to be "invented" along with the invention. An example is the fax machine. The technology for faxing {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (invent) in the 1800s. It took more than one hundred years, however, for the fax to be seen as useful. In 1843 Alexander Bain invented a machine to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (electrical) transmit（传输） writing. At first, it was considered {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use) since few people thought there was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} need for transmitting writing over {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wire). Eventually the value of the invention was realized, and it was improved {#blank#}8{#/blank#} office use. By the 1980s, the fax machine became a piece of standard {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (equip) in offices. The reason is {#blank#}10{#/blank#}it can very quickly transmit written documents. Who knows how many other inventions just need to be recognized as valuable?

The {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (three) year of junior high school was hard and busy. You may not have enough sleep. As we all know, being short of sleep is bad for health. What's more, experts have found that it could let you have trouble {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (make) friends. 

A study of a Tsinghua University research team showed people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} don't get enough sleep can be less willing to make friends. They are too tired {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (go) out. 

The researchers did a survey about 100 middle school students. When they had a good sleep at night, they {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (can) talk to strangers easily. While when they stayed up late, all of them wanted to be {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (lone) in the next day. 

Dr. Song, the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (lead) of the team, said, "The less sleep you get, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (few) friends you will make. At the same time, people may think you are strange and stay away {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you. This can make you {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (feel) lonely and cause you to sleep even less."

So if you want to be {#blank#}11{#/blank#} good health and make more friends, sleeping well may help. "After a good sleep, you will be more clever and outgoing." Dr. Song said.

Have you ever seen the film Forrest Gump (《阿甘正传》)? There's 1 famous saying in it: "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know2 " The surprise is part of the fun. It is not only from the chocolates you find in the box but also the process of opening the box. Now blind box toys have become very popular since they 3 to China. Blind box toys are hidden inside the same packaging. So, the buyers don't know what is in the boxes until they open 4 . The most popular toys in the blind boxes are cute characters that come 5 pop movies, comics and cartoons. There 6 a few special ones in many common boxes. "Maybe the next one is a gold toy. My wish is 7 another box." said one buyer. As a result, people will open more blind boxes and hope for a better result.

Besides expecting good results, people also enjoy the surprise and uncertain mysteries. "Opening a blind box like opening a birthday gift is an enjoyable surprise for our simple daily lives," said a 8 girl. "When I open these simple little boxes, I feel disappointed at one, but I feel 9 at another." A fear of the unknown is always a part of the box opening process, and waiting for the uncertainty is 10 part of the fun.

You may meet many people in your life. But Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. Over your lifetime, they may influence(影响) you more than anyone else. Mom and Dad need to care for their kids every day. Most parents will do this as long as they live. There are many ways to stay close and to build a strong relationship(关系) with your parents. 

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Don't play computer games or watch TV alone. Ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, or do some reading. 

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Little things might mean(意味着) a lot to your mom or dad. You can give your parents a happy day with a card or a joke. And if you try not to fight with your brothers or sisters, your parents will be so happy. 

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}You don't have to be the best, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud(骄傲). It makes them happy to see how you are turning into a good kid. Why? Because it lets them know they are doing a good job. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Your parents are busy with their work. They often feel very tired. But after they get home, they have to do lots of housework. If you can help to do some of the housework, they will feel very happy. Also you can learn to look after yourself. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} When you meet problems, tell your parents. They may give you better advice(建议). If you do something good, you should also tell your parents. They will feel proud of you. If you always share your feelings, you will have a better understanding with each other.
