Rick is an American boy. His parents have new jobs in China, 1 Rick comes to China with his parents. He lives in Wuhan with 2 parents now. He 3 in No. 2 Middle School.

    Today is Rick's 4 birthday. It's half past six in the evening. Dinner is ready. There is5 delicious food on the table. A round birthday 6 is in the middle of the table. There are eleven7on the cake. Is there anything to 8？ Sure! There is apple juice，orange juice and milk on the table. Orange juice is Rick's 9 drink.

    The family will have the birthday dinner after Rick's father 10 home. He usually gets home at a quarter to seven.

    When I was a little girl, my grandma told me if I planted something in spring, I would get more in autumn. I1what she said without doubt（怀疑）.

    At the age of six, while I was eating a big apple, 2hard pressed against my tongue（舌头）. I spat（吐）it out. It was a(n)3! I was so scared that I cried and ran into my grandma's room. She looked at the tooth and4, "Don't worry, dear. It's a baby tooth. You will have a new tooth in a few5. "

    "A new tooth? In a few months?" I felt very6.

    "Yes, you will have your new teeth7you get old, and you must protect your new teeth well. When you become an old woman, the teeth will fall again. 8at that time, they won't grow again. So it's not9for old people to eat something hard," my grandma said.

    I went out of my grandma's room and thought,"10should I put the tooth?"

    I thought for minutes, and then I had a good11—why not plant it in the garden? If I took good care of it, day after day, maybe it would become a big tree. When12came, there would be many white and strong teeth on the13. I could pick them and send them to some14people. Then they could eat hard things with these teeth.

    Of course my "tooth tree" couldn't15into a big tree at all, but what my grandma said had been in my mind for years.

    My kids and I decided to go to the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we saw a man holding a piece of paper that said, " 1 my job. Family to feed."

    At this store, a 2 like this was not normal. My 10-year-old kid noticed him and said it must be awful to have to stand 3 in the cold wind.

    In the store, I asked each of my kids to4 something they thought our "friend" there would appreciate(感激). They got 5 , a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old kid suggested giving him a 6 . All the other kids and I thought it was a good idea.

    When we handed him the bag of 7 , he lit up and thanked us with watery 8. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for9his family might need, he burst into tears.

    This has been a wonderful 10 for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can 11 ! Things would have played out so 12 if I had simply said, "No, we really don't have 13 to give more. "Stepping out not only helped a father in 14 , it also gave my kids the15 taste of helping others. It'll go a long way with them.

BEIJING, May 28, 2024 (Xinhua News)—The Shenzhou-18 crew (全体工作人员) completed the first spacewalk of their mission (任务) at 6:58 p.m. (Beijing Time) on Tuesday, according to the CMSA (中国载人航天局).

The two members of the Shenzhou-18, Ye Guangfu and Li Guangsu, started their spacewalk. They worked outside the Tiangong space station for nearly 8.5 hours. With the help of space equipment (设备) and a team on Earth, they successfully completed many tasks during their spacewalk, including some difficult fixing tasks. Now they have returned to the Wentian lab module (实验舱). The third crew member, Li Cong, stayed inside Tiangong to provide support.

The Shenzhou-18 crew has set a new record for the longest single spacewalk by Chinese astronauts.

This marked Ye's second time to have a spacewalk, and his first spacewalk was in the Shenzhou-13 mission, but this is the first time for Li Guangsu to start a spacewalk.

The mission will include many tasks. First of all, the three members will do a series of space science experiments (实验) and many necessary tests. And then, they will carry out more activities and do some fixing work outside the space station. The three astronauts will work on board Tiangong until late October, according to the CMSA.

So far, Chinese astronauts have successfully carried out 15 spacewalks in all. On September 27, 2008, astronaut Zhai Zhigang in Shenzhou-7 mission made history as China's first person to take a spacewalk, which lasted about 19 minutes.

The Shenzhou-15 crew has achieved a milestone (里程碑) by having 4 spacewalks, marking the highest number of spacewalks by a single Chinese astronaut crew.

The Shenzhou-17 members completed, for the first time, the repair work to keep the equipment in good condition during their second spacewalk, which lasted about 8 hours.

At the age of 73, Chen Shaoqi n from Beijing has shown the world how life should be lived.

Although she only had a middle school education, Chen began studying English at the age of 40 and passed a college entrance exam, making herself from a factory worker to a white- collar clerk in an international trade company. Chen continued to study art after retirement(退休) and finally became an art guide at the age of 67. Over the past five years, she has guided visitors at an art center for three days a week, totaling 3,500 hours.

From an old lady who knew nothing about modern art to a volunteer guide, Chen's hard work and love for learning have encouraged many people. She said that she must continue to learn. As a guide, she is able to attend professional training courses and has the chances to learn from artists and curators (馆长), which gives her encouragement to continue.

Chen has guided many exhibitions over the years, including those of famous artists like Zeng Fanzhi, Xu Bing, Qiu Zhijie and Pab lo Picasso. She believes that every tour is a beautiful journey and a new chance to learn and be moved. Her effort of learning and her ability to mix many subjects have made her an excellent guide. After turning73 this year, she believes that the width of one's life can be expanded(扩展) through self- improvement and learning.

Chen Shaoqi n is a best example that anyone can find their passion(热爱) and then learn, grow and share with others.

 "BANG!" the door was shut loudly. I was just standing there, with my father standing on one side, and I on the other side. We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" my father said angrily. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out and ran along the street. The street lights were shining. I felt sad and walked aimlessly (漫无目的地) . 

I didn't know whether it was because I had grown up or because my dad was getting old. He always put his opinions on me. We were just like two people in two different worlds. It felt like there was an iron door between us that could never be opened. 

My heart was frozen (冰冷的) on this hot summer night.As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached my house, I saw that the light was still on. 

"Perhaps my dad is throwing away some of his old stamps," I thought. "Perhaps he thinks they are useless." I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except my father's. 

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret (懊悔) . This was how he always was. He had been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do had become his second nature. 

The light was still on. With the key in hand, I opened the door nervously. When I opened the door, tears ran down my face. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love- it's second to none.
