Teenager Jake Deham was skiing with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis. His family didn't know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain, there was no sign of Jake.

    Jake couldn't find his ski anywhere. In the end, he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn't work out the right way to go.

    It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm. At home, Jake watched a lot of programs about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programs and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldn't blow into it. Outside his hole, the temperature fell to a dangerous-15℃ that night, but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.

    But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programs always said," If you are lost, you should find someone else's tracks(足迹) through the snow and follow them." "I wanted to live my life." remembers Jake." So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those." He walked and walked and finally he saw lights. Nine hours after he lost his ski, he found a team of worker who came to save him. He was safe!

    His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didn't even have to go to hospital. He got through the terrible experience without any injuries.

    So, the next time someone says that watching TV is a waste of time, think of Jake. Sometimes TV can save your life!

   Jack is my best friend. He is in a new school.He likes it very much. It's not far from his home. And it usually takes him 10minutes to get to school by bike. School begins at 8: 00 every morning. Butthese days Jack is often late for school. This morning, he is late again. Theteacher is very angry.

   "How do you usually come to school?" asks the teacher. "By bike." Jack answers. "What time do you usually get up?""At 6: 30." "Well, it's not late. What time do you usually leavehome?" "I leave home at 7: 55." "Why not leave home earlier?" "My mother is ill (生病的). She stays in bed all day. I must look after her andgive her medicine at the right time， so I'm often latefor school," says Jack with tears (泪水) in his eyes."I see, Jack, you are a good boy!"says the teacher.

Hanfu has become popular again these years. A growing number of young people in China start to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wear) the traditional (传统的)Han Chinese clothing. The style (样式) has even interested some foreigners. One of them is Jack,a young man from Brazil.

 Jack lives in Xi'an. Two years ago the beautiful city and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(become) an English teacher at a primary school. "After         seeing many people wearing Hanfu in the streets, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(show) great interest in it and wanted to try it on {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(I). My first taste of Hanfu was the Tang style. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}is fun to wear Tang-style Hanfu," said the young man. "Today, it is still my favorite Hanfu style." Every time he puts it on, he feels as if he has traveled back to old times.

Since then, Hanfu has helped Jack learn more {#blank#}6{#/blank#}China. In the past, the only thing he knew about the country was that it had {#blank#}7{#/blank#}long history and a rich culture. But now he knows more than that. He hopes {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(share) his feelings with friends all over the world, so he begins to make short videos(视频) of himself trying on Hanfu and posts them up online in foreign countries. These videos {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(quick) become popular on the Internet. He spreads (传播)Chinese culture {#blank#}10{#/blank#}his own way.

In 1944, a young man carrying a bag filled with books knocked on the doors of Mr. Wu Dayou's house in Kunming. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} young man was there to ask Wu to let him study in the then National Southwest Associated University (NSAU/Xinan Lianda) , where Wu was a professor. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (surprising) , just 13 years later, the seemingly common young man won the Nobel Prize in Physics. This man is none other than Mr. Tsung-Dao Lee.

During his years spent in NSAU, Lee quickly grew intellectually. He often {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (find) himself asking Wu after lessons for more work and would often search for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (know) outside of the courses. 

Lee entered the University of Chicago's Graduate School {#blank#}5{#/blank#} just 23 years old and began researching physics. In 1956, he became {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (young) full professor at Columbia University. One year later, he, along with Chen Ning Yang, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. 

When Lee returned to China in the spring of 1979, he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (invite) to teach two classes at the University of Science and Technology of China. He badly wanted more Chinese researchers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (understand) the progress the world has made in the past decades. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he established the CUSPEA program in 1979, which supported 915 Chinese students to study in the U. S. 

Although he was living abroad. Lee remained connected to China. His legacy serves as an inspiration (激励) for future generations to pursue {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) dreams and make a positive difference to the world. 

Yang Jiang, the famous woman writer and translator (翻译家), is well- known to us all. 

Yang was born in Beijing in 1911. Her real name is Yang Jikang. She graduated from university and went to Tsinghua University as a postgraduate (研究生) in the 1930s. There she met Qian Zhongshu. They fell in love and got married. In the 1940s, she started to use the name Yang Jiang as her pen name. Since then, she has been commonly known as Madam Yang Jiang. In the 1950s, she worked for Peking University and started to learn Spanish. She began to write short novels in the 1980s. Many of them are famous, such as The Old Wang (《老王》), After Baptism (《洗澡之后》) and We Three (《我们仨》).

Although Madam Yang has passed away, we will never forget the great madam. 

Simon didn't get on well with his parents in the past. He hardly {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(talk)to them, because they always compared him with his sister Sarah. They thought Sarah studied {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hard)than Simon. Simon was not happy with that.

Later, Simon wanted to show his parents that he could do things as well {#blank#}3{#/blank#}his sister.Then he started to spend most of his free time in the art room. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (luck), the art teacher Miss Green taught Simon a lot. She tried to help bring out the best in {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(he).

One day,Simon told Miss Green about his problem. Miss Green said to Simon,"Your works are {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(good)than many children's. You can take part in a painting {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(compete).Your parents will know how great you are!"So Simon did it.

After {#blank#}8{#/blank#} few weeks, the result came out. Simon was very excited {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he won first place. His parents felt surprised. Then they were happy for Simon. They realized (认识到)that different {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(kid)were good at different things.
