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!

Last weekend my father, my mother, my sister and I went to summer camp. We went to Mountain Ermei. It was a very sunny but windy day. We got to the foot of the mountain by bus. In the middle of the mountain there was a clean river. I washed my face with the water. It was a little warm. There were some fishes in the river, too. In the mountain there were many beautiful flowers. At noon, lots of people got together, and they were very friendly. We had lunch in the mountain. The food was very nice, and we liked it very much. After lunch, we went on our trip. Finally we got to the top of the mountain. From there we could see everything below because of the fine weather. I felt like I was flying in the sky. We had a wonderful time. 

Your resolution leads the way to success. This is1 Loma tells us.

"I wish I can perform as usual, win a gold medal," said Loma, "and2 myself-value." After years of hard work, she finally got the3 to compete in the world game. Loma is a lawn bowl player(草地掷球运动员). Unlike other players, she went blind because of illness. Besides, she learned this4 at the age of 41 instead of 11. Losing her sight and a5 start mean she needs to make more efforts than others do.

When she first started practicing lawn bowling, she couldn't find the right path. Sometimes she even walked into other players.Feeling6 ,she once packed up(打包行李)and decided to go home.But this was7 by her teammates, who cared about her and encouraged her. Her coaches also gave her more8 in training. Deeply moved, Loma9 .

She could do nothing but keep practicing. She often practiced alone until midnight. "I took an apple or an orange as a bowl, threw it in hallways and found it 10 ." Loma said, "When I went back to the dorm(宿舍), my roommates had already been11 ." Years by years, she made great progress in her skills. 12 , Loma fell in love with this sport. She practiced it not only for achievement but also for13 .

Standing on the race field, she14 she could do it! After rounds of exciting competitions, Loman won the game! Nearly all the audience(观众) cheered for her! "I feel lucky that I never15 . The process may be hard, but it is worth trying." Loma cried happily.

I never thought about being a collector. But a few years ago all my friends had the hobby of 1 something. Some of them collected stones. Some collected dolls. Others collected postcards. 

I thought I should collect something, too. I wanted to collect something 2 because I didn't want to follow others. 3 . I decided to collect glasses from different places. When I went to a new place, I 4 one there. I thought this would make me think of all the places I visited. 

Soon all my friends heard of my hobby and 5 buying me glasses from all the places they visit- ed. Therefore, my 6 grew bigger and bigger. I didn't have enough 7 for them. It was 8 for me to have all kinds of glasses. I didn't want glasses from places I had not visited. Finally I 9 them all to my friend Jenny. She was just starting a 10 collection. 

From my story, I want to tell you something: do not collect things that you don't want. 

 Dear Josh,

 How are you going? I'm writing to tell you something about my school day.

I have eight lessons a day. The first class1 at 8:00 am. The second is 2 . It is re- laxing and we often sing English songs 3 class. At 11:00 am,I have the last lesson in the morning. It's Chinese. Our Chinese teacher, Miss Li, is friendly and we all like 4 .

 The lunchtime is the happiest time to me. The food in the dining hall is 5 . After lunch, we have geography. Some students say it's boring,6 it's fun for me. I can learn many things about the world, like 7 , cities, and rivers. When I8 ,I want to travel around the world to see the places I have learned about. This term, our school adds(增加) a new class. It teaches us first aid(急救) as part of education(教育) about9 . By learning it,I may10 those in need. What about you? Do you enjoy your school?

 Yours,

 Mia
