Feb. 17 should have been the start of the spring semester for many middle and primary schools in China. However, to control the spread of the COVID-19, many schools had delayed the start of the semester, following instructions from the Ministry of Education (MOE). But students in China were still studying.

Instead of having classes at school, many students in Beijing and Guangzhou began their first day of online classes on Feb 17. Students in Shanghai started online classes on March 2. "In the morning, I have English class, followed by Chinese and math, " Liu Bo, a Junior 3 student from Beijing, told Xinhua. "I have also learned about epidemic(流行病) prevention. "

According to the MOE, students were mainly taking classes to review previous knowledge rather than taking new classes during the online study period. Online courses were required to include contents about epidemic prevention, psychological health (心理健康) and educational activities (教育活动).

"Online courses are only temporary measures (暂时的措施) taken during the epidemic, so when the new semester begins, schools should not replace(替代) classroom teaching with online classes, " Lu Yugang from the ministry told China Daily.

The ministry also called on schools not to increase their students' schoolwork burden(负担). Schools should not ask students to study online for long periods of time or study things beyond( 超出) their curriculum(课程). Students must have enough time to rest, the ministry added. Also, it stressed that protecting students' eyesight must be a priority(优先).

Cook is a frog. He loves {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (eat) flies. Every morning, Cook sits in a spider's web (网). When Mrs. Spider goes out, Cook eats flies from her web. 

Today is a f{#blank#}2{#/blank#} day. When Cook is enjoying his fly breakfast, Mrs. Spider {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come) back and sees him. She cries, "You keep eating my flies! "Cook feels sorry and jumps away (跳走). He w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to make a web himself. He works on his web for hours, and then… he can't go out of the web. "Help!" he cries. Mrs. Spider comes to h{#blank#}5{#/blank#}  him out. 

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Spider. I can't make a web like you. It's so bad," Cook says. 

"Yes, frogs can't make webs, but you can swim w{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I can only put my feet in the pool (池塘)," Mrs. Spider says.

"How wonderful it is to swim {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the water!" Cook says, "Well, I have a good i{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. "From then on, Cook carries Mrs. Spider out to the m{#blank#}9{#/blank#} of the pool, and they play {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (happy). When they come back, they eat flies from Mrs. Spider's web. They become good friends.

I know how hard it is to make friends in a new school. I once joined the football team and the music club in my school of Toronto. I was very popular at that time and made a lot of friends. It made me very happy and my school life was very great.

Everything became different when I was 16 years old, because my parents decided to move to    Florida. Who can quickly adapt to (适应) a completely strange environment? So changing to a new   school was not easy for me. At the beginning, days in the new school were much more different than I thought. The class schedule (时间表) was different, and the teachers and students were strange and fresh to me. Some kids tried to be nice to me, but I was afraid to have a talk with them.

After staying in the new school for a few weeks, I realized that no one tried to communicate with me anymore, so I began to feel lonely. Two months later we had a course that required teamwork. Then, all the students came to study and even tried to help each other. I realized that they were hard-working and friendly just like me. I began to make friends with them. Several years later, we still keep in touch with each other and they have become a great treasure to me.

Sometimes, if we can't change the environment around us, change ourselves in time. And try to get used to the life in different places.

It was a Saturday afternoon. Mr. Green was reading a newspaper when he heard his 1 crying in the next room. He 2 to her and asked, "What happened 3 you, my dear?"

"Oh, Dad!" his daughter 4 , "My head hurts! Send for a doctor. Hurry up!" Mrs. Green was out at that moment and 5 was wrong with the telephone. Mr. Green had to go to a hospital 6 . Bad luck! That day all the hospitals in the town were 7 . Mr. Green didn't know where to go. Just then a friend of his saw him and asked, "What is the 8 ?"

Mr. Green told his friend. The man said, "9 go to Mr. Black? He can help you."

Mr. Green remembered his friend Mr. Black was a good 10 . He hurried (匆忙) to Mr. Black.

When he 11 there, Mr. and Mrs. Black were having their dinner. The doctor asked Mr. Green to drink with him. He was 12 and sat at the table. After that they began to chat (聊天). And when Mrs. Black asked, "13 are your wife and daughter?" "They're fine, thank…" Mr. Green 14 at once—he remembered his daughter was 15 a doctor at home.

Last night, when I was preparing for my English exam in my bedroom, I suddenly heard a loud noise. The glass on the edge (边缘) of the desk {#blank#}1{#/blank#} onto the floor. The glass was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. The light in the room was shaking. I looked out of the window and found the whole building was shaking too. I realized (意识到) that a(n) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} had happened. I{#blank#}4{#/blank#} myself that I must be brave and stay calm and try not to cry. I crawled (爬) and hid myself under the bed. Several minutes later, the building didn't shake any more. So I crawled out and ran out of the building as quickly as I could. Or I couldn't {#blank#}5{#/blank#} what would happen. What a terrible experience!
