{#blank#}1{#/blank#}? "Survival Holidays" is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.

    The reason why people like "Survival Holidays" is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}? Maybe yes. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, which causes many problems. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

A. Is "Survival Holidays" a wonderful idea

B. Have you heard about "Survival Holidays"

C. They don't know what to do when they are in danger

D. "Survival Holidays" gives them an important change

E. Many people think the survival activities are good for children

    Not only adults but also teenagers have problems in their life. Here is a survey showing the main problems of teenagers.

    They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home. They have lots of exams to take. And parents usually send them to different classes at weekends. (3)They don't have their own time to do what they are interested in.

    Now more and more teenagers are getting short-sighted. They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest. Some of them are crazy about playing computer games. Some spend too much time watching TV. (4)Another serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat. They eat too much junk food, but they take little exercise.

    I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with the problems. They should make a plan for study and hobbies and find time to relax as much as possible.

Just In Time

    "Come on, Sasha," my father shouted. "Put the book down and get your clarinet(竖笛). We have to leave now if you don't want to miss the class."

    A clarinet class? I thought to myself. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Yes, I would like to miss the class. "Coming"{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. I got out of the bed and picked up my clarinet and rushed to the car.

    My dad started the engine and we drove off. "Hope you have a wonderful class," my dad said. "In my dream," I spoke very quietly. "Not again," my dad said angrily.

    I look out of the window{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. "Car traffic", I said under my breath with a big smile. This is my lucky day because I am going to miss the class.

    While we were waiting for the cars to start driving again, I was sitting in my car seat, singing a song. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. What's important is that I was going to miss the class. "Great! Ten minutes passed," I said excitedly. My dad looked at me angrily. The car started to move.

    "Finally," my dad took a deep breath. We got there and I had only missed a few minutes of the class.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    "Just in time, Sasha. I was thinking you might be getting worried that you were going to miss the class," my teacher made a joke on me –knowing well that I hate the clarinet class！

In her grandparents' old house, Maya discovered an old family calendar, with each page filled out carefully.

On June 6, 1892: "Helped Mr Thompson repair his house." On November 14, 1907: "1 my time at an old people's home."

Curious, she asked her grandmother about it.

"That is the tradition of our family," her grandmother explained. "Every day, for generations, we complete one act of kindness and take it down. No matter how 2 it is."

Maya was interested. "Why?"

Her grandmother smiled, "It's a belief that through continuous kind actions, we can create a life of 3 . Every day, we find a moment of light through offering help to others, even when the world around us is dark."

With admiration, Maya decided to keep the tradition. Every night, she would record her act of kindness for the day. As the years went by, Maya's entries of her kind act 4 . from comforting a distressed stranger on the bus to organizing community clean-ups.

One day, as she sat at a café, a young woman came to her. "Are you Maya?" She asked politely.

Maya nodded, feeling 5 .

The woman went on, "Years ago, you taught me for free when my family couldn't afford lessons. Because of you, I graduated top of my class. Today, I 6 an organization providing help for students from poor families."

Maya was moved and proud. She realized her actions were creating ripples（涟漪） in ways she had never imagined.

The calendar became a community legend. Inspired by Maya, the town started a "Calendar Day", encouraging everyone to do good.

When Maya was old, she often sat with her grandchildren, turning the 7 pages. "This was when your grandpa and I met. I helped him find his lost dog."

One day, her oldest grandchild, Sophie, looked up from the calendar. "I want to 8 this, Grandma."

Maya 9 the calendar over. She knew the tradition would live on.

Years after Maya passed, the town built a statue in her honor, with the words on its base:

In memory of Maya and the generations before her who believed in the power of everyday 10 .

Last Saturday was a great day. We felt the 1 of the world that day. 

While Bob and I went across a bridge, something caught our 2 . On a large rock (岩石) in the centre of a small river, something was3 . 

"What's that little thing?" Bob asked. 

4 , a father and son went onto the bridge. 

"Dad, that's a baby bird!" he called to 5 father. 

The baby bird 6 on the large rock in the fast- moving water. It sat there, wet and shaking. It felt 7 . 

"We've got to save it though it may take some 8 !" the boy cried. 

Bob and I also 9 to save the bird. While climbing down the bank (河岸), we saw the father already standing in the water10 holding his son's hand. Bob also stepped into the water while the boy nearly fell. 

The river is a little deep. What's 11 , mud (泥) round the river rocks made walking more difficult. The father helped his son back up. 

"Maybe I can get it," Bob said. He was 12 there when an underwater rock stopped him.

Then the father was back in the water 13 . He held Bob's hand and Bob got the baby bird finally. The boy 14 and the two men walked hand in hand. Getting to the river bank, they took the little wet bird to a 15 place. It jumped several times. This is the first time I have saved a bird. I feel good!
