School started again, and soon the ink(墨水)in Tom's spelling book was found. Tom said he hadn't split the ink, but that made it look as if he were lying. Becky almost said Alfred Temple had done it, but she kept quiet. She thought that Tom would tell the teacher about her tearing(撕)his book, so she didn't save him. Mr Dobbins beat him and then Tom went back to his seat。

After an hour Mr Dobbins unlocked his desk and took out his book, Tom looked over at Becky. She looked like a hunted and helpless rabbit. The next moment the master faced the children. There was a long silence, then he spoke, "Who tore this book?"

There wasn't a sound. The teacher searched their faces.

"Benjamin Rogers, did you do it?"

Benjamin said no.

"Joseph Harper, did you?"

Joseph also said no. Dobbins looked at the rows of boys, thought for a moment, then turned to the girls.

"Amy Lawrence?"

A shake of the head.

"Gracie Miller?"

The same sign.

Becky was next. Tom was shaking from head to foot.

"Rebecca Thatcher?"—(Tom looked at her face; it was white with terror)— "did you tear?—no, look at my face—did you tear this book?"

Tom jumped to his feet and shouted, "I did it!"

The children stared(盯着) in surprise at his foolish act.

And when he stepped forward for his punishment, he saw the surprise, the thanks, and the love that came from Becky's eyes.This was enough for one hundred beatings. And he didn't even mind staying for two hours after school, because he knew that Becky was waiting for him outside.

Tom went to bed that night planning some actions on Alfred Temple, for Becky had told him everything. And he fell asleep with Becky's last words to him in his ear, "Tom, you are so great!"

I have a friend. Its name is Rock and it is my best friend. It comes with me everywhere I go. I can put my best 1 in my pocket or hold it in my hand. If I go out 2 my friend, it will always wait for me at home whenI 3 .

Rock is a great friend 4 it listens well and doesn't talk over me. I can tell Rock mybiggëst secrets(秘密) and it won't 5 anyone. Rock is a friend I can believe.

I have much fun: with Rock. When I finish school, Rock and I read comic books 6 . I read the stories out when Rock holds the pages for me. I don't think Rock can 7 really well, so I describe(描述) the pictures. Sometimes I don't tell what the 8 exactly(准确地) show. But I'm not telling lies-it's called being creative(有创造力的). 9 make a good team in that way. I think I'm very 10 to have such a friend.

When "the goddess scientist" Yan Ning was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} teenager, she was interested in science and was truly {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (talent) in it. Her Chemistry teacher told her that girls were good at science. That's why she expected {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (become) a scientist.

After years of hard work, she went to Tsinghua University to study and then studied for her doctor's degree (学位) at Princeton University. There she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (choose) the most difficult project in the lab. In 2007, she finished school and went back to teach at Tsinghua University. At the age of 30, she became {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (young) professor (教授) at Tsinghua University.

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the road to being a woman scientist is not easy. Yan works so hard that she{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (usual) works for more than 14 hours a day. She never feels tired because she thinks it is very enjoyable to do what she loves. Yan got lots of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (prize) for her great work. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}November 21, 2023, she helped to set up (成立) Shenzhen Academy of Medical Science (深圳医学科学院).

Let's look forward to great success of Yan and her team! Hope they will make {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) dreams come true!
