There's a park near my home. People like to go to this park after work, because they like the beautiful flowers and clean air in the park. Some of them go there every day. Look! That's Mr. King. He is taking a photo for his son, Jim. They look very happy. Some boys are playing games. Some boys are playing football. Lucy and Lily are standing under a tree. They're talking. There's a small river in the park. We can see some boats on the water. Some children are sitting in the boats with their parents. Listen! A girl is singing.

    This is really a nice park. We all like it very much.

My name is Robinson Crusoe, and I was born in the city of York in 1632. My father was a successful businessman. I had two elder brothers. One of them worked in the army(军队) and was killed during the war against Spain. The other was missing one day, and we never knew what had happened to him. My father gave me a good education and wanted me to be a lawyer(律师). 

However, I wanted to be a sailor(海员) and go to sea. My father was very angry with me. He didn't understand why I wanted to leave his house, where I would have an easy and comfortable life.

"Two kinds of people go to sea, " he said. "They are the very poor people and the very rich people. The poor are foolish, having no other ways to live. The rich own ships and can make money with them. You are neither too poor nor too rich, so you should stay at home with your mother and me. Your elder brother didn't listen to me, and now he is dead. If you do not listen to me, you will have a difficult life!"

I tried to do what he wanted me to do, but I couldn't. I spoke to my mother.

"Please ask Dad if he will let me have one voyage(航行) by sea, " I asked her. "When I return, I will live the life he wants me to live. "

Mum was angry. "Your father will not let you go. I don't want you to go to sea either. It's dangerous. "

I argued(争吵) with my parents for another year. Then, I went to Hull with a friend who was going to London by ship. He invited me to go with him, and I agreed. I didn't even tell my parents before leaving. I just went. That was how all my bad luck began.

Everyone has a better self in their hearts. But for many people，it is hard for them to make a change for that，especially a big one. Once we fail in that，and failure repeats failure. But by taking small steps，we all can be a better one. Here are three practical examples. 

Tidying your house. No matter how large or small a house you have，you may often delay the "spring clean" again and again until the summer comes. A big clean is seldom enjoyable，but you can tell yourself，"Today，and nothing more. " Or，"I will do the chairs this morning，but it gets done. 

Sporting achievement. To many people around the world，running a marathon（马拉松） is usually something impossible. But anything is simply one small step after another. Those great runners often repeat，" or， "Just one more mile

Changing your character （性格）. There's a lot of truth in the power （力量） of habit. When we do a thing over and over，try to do one kind thing before lunch. Do another one before you go to bed. Over time，you will easily and habitually do kind things one day. You've become kind. 

Rome was not built in a day and so does making changes. Slowly，slowly and over great time，great things can be done. 

Frank and his classmates were taking a trip to a space museum. They were going to see what the planets and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} look like. 

When they arrived there, the tour guide, Mrs. Larson, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} students to a large room. After they sat down. Mrs. Larson said. "Look up at the ceiling（天花板）." Everyone looked up. but there {#blank#}3{#/blank#} unusual. They only saw a big white dome（圆屋顶）. "Now, watch what happens," Mrs. Larson said. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , the lights went off and the dome looked like the night sky. Frank and his classmates felt unbelievable to see the moon and many bright stars. Sitting at such a quiet night. Frank felt more peaceful and relaxed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ever. After a while, it was getting brighter and then a big sun came out. In order to keep the visit {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , many special materials（材料）were used to protect them. Students wouldn't get hurt and people knew more about the space. In another part of the museum. Frank and his classmates {#blank#}7{#/blank#} what it is like for astronauts to work and live in space. 

This was certainly {#blank#}8{#/blank#} educational trip for all students. It made Frank realize that China has made great {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in space. Now. Frank becomes more interested {#blank#}10{#/blank#} space. He hopes to make more achievements in space one day. 

For many people, their first plane trip is not very good. The following will help you have a good trip.

The first and most important thing is to be EARLY! Call the airport 4 hours earlier and make sure that the flight (航班) is still on time. Get to the airport 2 hours early. This will give you much time to get your boarding pass (登机证) and pass the security check (安检).

Be sure to take something to chew (咀嚼) when you are in the air. Taking a book with you can help you kill your flight time. You also need to take some special things like glasses or medicine, because you may need them on your trip. Take the ID card and enough money with you. Because you need them when having a trip.

When you get on the plane, make sure that you are in the right seat. Don' t be afraid when the plane is taking off (起飞). Take-off may be a difficult part of your trip. When it is over, you can release (解开) your seat belt (安全带), and you can go to the lavatory (卫生间) if you want.

Wish you a happy flight!
