Most parents send Care packages(包裹)and gifts to their Children when they're away at university. Terri Cox, from Leonardtown, Maryland, isn't one of those 1.

    A few weeks ago, Terri sent her son 18-year-old Connor, who's now 2 at Westminster College in Pennsylvania, a package. 3 Connor first got the package, he thought it was a usual gift filled with necessities(必需品).

   "I was 4 because it's like Christmas when you get gifts from 5 especially when you're in College," he said. But as Connor 6 the package, he found the things inside were quite different from what he had 7 It wasn't a gift or a Care package. It was something he'd 8 while at home for the Christmas Break- his rubbish.

    The box was filled with trash(垃圾)-everything he was too 9 to take out when his mother had asked him to over Christmas.

    In fact, Connor didn't do all of his 10 at home at all. So Mom Terri got the idea to post his rubbish to him to 11 him. Connor didn't understand 12 his mom did this to him until he gave her a Call." 13 isn't usually strict, and I didn't see this as a Big punishment(惩罚). It was more of a(n)14 reminder(提醒)that I have duties(职责). And we have a good laugh on the phone," he said.

    Connor later said that the rubbish he had 15 in the Box was only a part of what he was asked to take out. Where was the rest? They were hidden in his Bedroom drawers(抽屉).

    Thinking what happens to rubbish if left for a long time, let's hope Terri find the rest fast.

    They talked2 primary, secondary and college students. Kids were interested in the astronauts' space lives. They asked questions like "Did you see3 from space?" Fei and Nie said they didn't see the Great Wall. 4 they felt excited when they passed over China.

    Young people wanted to know how the astronauts developed5 careers (职业). "How did you decide to be astronauts6 China's space industry (工业) is still at the beginning?"7 a young woman. The astronauts said it was because of their love of flight and the need of the8.

    They said their love of flight could be seen from their children's names. Nie's daughter9Nie Tianxiang, which means "flying up high". Fei's son is called "Fei Di", which sounds like "Feidie", meaning10.

Andy doesn't like cleaning his room. This morning, when Andy is lying in bed, Mum walks into his room. She finds there are many clothes on the floor. Mum gets angry and says, "Look at your room, Andy! I don't want to come into your room at all. Today your brother Ryan wants to go to the zoo. Get up and put your clothes on quickly if you would like to go with us. "

Andy gets out of his bed and finds his coat, jeans and scarf on the floor, but he only finds one of his shoes. "Can you help me find the other one, Mum? "Andy asks. His mum says, "No, Andy. I don't know where it is. It's your fault(错误)to put your things everywhere. Now,  ▲  . l will check it after we come back. And you can't ask your grandpa for help. "

Then Mum leaves for the zoo with Dad and Ryan. Andy has to clean his room at home and it takes him a morning to do the cleaning. Finally, he finds his shoe on the bed! When Mum comes back, she sees Andy's room is very tidy. She says, "Good job, Andy! Here is some ice cream for you. "

I turn off the alarm clock and get myself a cup of water. Then I start doing twenty minutes' yoga and calm my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(心;心脏) and mind. This is how my life alone in my room looks right now. The habit started when the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (政府) asked all schools to stay closed because of COVID-19 in 2020.

At first, I was quite relaxed to take a break from school and I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(填满) my days with TV plays. However, I didn't feel pleased but {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(孤独的;寂寞的) and sad. At the same time, mid-term tests were still going to happen in a different way to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(检查) students' learning. So, I knew that my student life should still continue.

I made a list of several important things to do every day. First, I started to do morning yoga and I found I looked much {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(秀丽的;标致的).Before I began my study, I cleaned things in my room carefully, such as tables and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(架子). Now I am also going to develop my {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(自己的) interest, and I plan to take a singing course online.

{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(也许) you have seen that I've changed. I think I will become better and better by {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(对待;看待) myself strictly. The future depends on whether I want my life to be beautiful or not, so I decide to keep on learning more.

 My home town is Moonlight Town. It is close to Sunshine Town. There is1 river in front of my house. In the past, there were many factories by the river. They often put the waste into the river. 2 the clean water became very dirty. And people cut down too many trees 3 more space for tall buildings. Many animals lost4 living areas. Also, people in other places could only walk to my home town because the traffic was not easy. 

 But now, great changes5 because the government has paid attention to the problems and done something to improve the situation. First, factories no longer put the waste into the river. The water is clean. People can sit 6 the river to watch many kinds of fish swim in it again. Second, the government turns a factory into a beautiful park so people 7 relax in it. Third, thousands of trees8 on the mountain. They are becoming homes to many wild animals. Last, it's fast and easy for people to visit my home town by car or bus. 9 great changes!

I believe my home town will be 10 in the future than now. I'm looking forward to it.
