Love is the most (最) important thing in the world (世界). We need love in. our life and the world also needs love to get better.

When I was a little girl, I thought that my father didn't love me. He let me do everything by myself. I was afraid of darkness (黑暗)，but he let me walk home alone. When I did well in my study, he only said," Be better. "I couldn't understand (明白) him. Where was his love?

But one day, I understood his love. It was a rainy day. School was over. At first I was not happy because I didn't have an umbrella.

But then I saw that my father with a big umbrella walking in the rain. He kept me away from the rain with the umbrella and we ran home together. He was all wet. On that day, I knew my father loved me very much. I understand what love is.

Grace lives in Oklahoma. She is only six years old, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} she already has big ideas for helping other kids!

One Saturday morning when Grace was five, she {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pass) a lemonade stand (柠檬水摊). Some teenagers were selling lemonade. Their purpose was to raise money for some of their {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (friend). Grace wanted to have a try, so her mother explained to her {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to start a lemonade stand.

Grace wanted to help kids too, especially foster (寄养的) kids! That was because she and her brother were foster children. She thought that maybe she could help {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) by starting a lemonade stand!

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (luck), Grace's first lemonade stand made $ 132! She was very excited {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (buy) things for the foster kids with her mother. She helped 24 children for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} first time. Grace wanted to help {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (many) kids so her mum helped her start a project called Grace's Lemonade for Love. So far, she {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (raise) over $ 17, 000! Someday maybe she will be able to send toys to all foster kids in her country.

"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life." These words come from my favorite movie, Daydreamer. They are always kept in my mind. The movie, directed by Brahman Turner, taught me to live my own life and to do something 1 . Inspired by the movie, I started to learn skateboarding last summer vacation.

The first 2 are always the hardest. I still remember the first day. The 3 was not great. I fell over again and again. I found skateboarding was a(n) 4 sport for beginners because you may fall over many times like I did. But falling cannot be 5 for anyone. I wore a helmet and protective gear(装备) to help keep safe. I practiced all day until sunset that day. For the next few days, I practiced hard every day. I knew that practice makes perfect. And 6 , I could skateboard. I was so proud of that.

However, as I 7 with my hobby, I met quite a few challenges. I still practiced hard for the rest of that 8 , though made little progress. Unluckily, I hurt my knee. When the summer vacation was over, I had to return to school. But I knew I would 9 skateboarding again later because it is fun and brings me joy.

It is important that we do what we love and keep doing it throughout our life. As a song goes, "One day you'll leave this world behind, so live a life you will not 10 ."

Emily Green is my friend. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} April 23rd, 2022, she made an excellent speech in English at a club.

In 1997, Emily was born in a poor family in Beijing. From an early age, she was  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}m teaming English and always spoke English with others. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Emily's family couldn't pay for her study in an English school, she kept learning English by herself.

Many people wanted to know how she learned English so well. Emily enjoyed sharing her experience with {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(In fact, she worked very hard and she found many great{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to learn it well. She learned English every day. She liked to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to English radio or tapes at breakfast. In class, she listened to all her {#blank#}7{#/blank#} very carefully. After class, she read the words, sentences and texts again and again. She {#blank#}8{#/blank#} down the mistakes in the notebooks. She {#blank#}9{#/blank#} learned English by watching American TV shows. She imitated(模仿) the actors' words {#blank#}10{#/blank#} sentences in the shows. After years of hard work, her English became very good. People liked to talk with her in English.

One day, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang to make 100,000 arrows(箭) in ten days." Give me three days," said Zhuge. Zhou thought Zhuge was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}( trouble) himself. He told his soldiers not to provide things {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Zhuge. Zhuge asked Lu Su to lend {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( he) twenty boats full of scarecrows(稻草人) with thirty soldiers in each.

In the early morning of the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}( three) day, Zhuge ordered that the twenty boats should be tied together. He asked Lu for {#blank#}5{#/blank#} boat ride and then headed for Cao Cao's camp. When the boats got much {#blank#}6{#/blank#}( close) to the camp, Zhuge let his soldiers shout out {#blank#}7{#/blank#} they were beating the drums.

Cao Cao heard their sounds and ordered," Shoot arrows at them as quickly as possible." Soon, the scarecrows on both {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( side) of the boats were full of arrows. When the day broke, with {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( excite), Zhuge and his soldiers rowed back to their camp. They collected more than100,000 arrows.

This story teaches us about the importance of teamwork and encourages us {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( use) our heads to face challenges creatively.

There are some days that start off badly, which can be a rush morning, a stranger being rude, or some bad news. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are a few tips that may help. 

 Switch things up

A quick way to rescue your day is to try a"sensory (感官的) change. " Take a hot shower, buy some flowers, or get up and move. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} When you are stuck in your emotions, a little activity and a change of location can help unlock them. 

 See it from a different point of view

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Ask yourself: Is this really about me, or is it about them? What is the story I created based on the thing that happened? Looking at the matter in a different way can help calm down your feelings. 

 Give yourself little rewards(奖励)

 If you are really having a bad day, little rewards like some ice cream or taking a short break can make it less stressful than a large reward later would. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

I was once advised by a friend of mine that I should make an"album for happiness" to improve a bad mood on a certain day. Another friend also recommended me to collect positive messages and emails and pull them out when I feel low. Remember to get prepared.
