     Two weeks later， I was allowed to go home． （6）　　 I left the hospital， the fight was far from over． My left leg was badly hurt in that accident as well， as a result， I had to receive different （7）　　 during the next few years． And soon， more of my right leg had to be cut off． This made it harder to wear my artificial leg （假肢） ， so I donated it to another girl who couldn't （8）　　 one． The joy of being able to provide this gift for someone else was （9）　　 than the happiness I felt on any day I could wear it myself．

     People often tell me they are （10）　　of me for staying strong． But in my mind， being strong has always been my only （11）　　． On the day I left the hospital， I made a promise to （12）　　 to make good use of every day to live life to the fullest． I am not only confident but I hope to help those around me． In 2017， I （13）　　 started modeling． My dream is that one day a little girl will see me in a magazine and say， "Wow， she only has one leg but she is beautiful （14）　　 confidence and bravery"

    Each year on Feb 21， UNESCO （ 联合国教科文组织） holds an International Mother Language Day （IMLD ）． The event is to help people to pay attention to the disappearance of the world's languages； many of them are disappearing each year． UNESCO sees this as a terrible fact．

     What happens when a language dies out？ Something great is lost﹣not just sounds and marks but the way that people understand the world and communicate with each other． We keep different cultures and traditions through languages． Kill a language and all these are killed too．

     Through IMLD， more and more people come to realize he terrible situation and try to stop it．

Google's 2018 Endangered （濒临灭绝的） Languages Project is a good example． Many speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload （上传） texts， audios and videos to the project website． They want to introduce the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world．

     The Myaamia Project is the same kind of effort to　revive　 the language spoken by the Miami tribes （部落） of the United States． Project members work to encourage people to study and communicate with this language ， which died out in the 1960s．

     These activities give life to those endangered languages． People who work to keep Languages

alive are not limited to the past． Many young people design apps and use social media to support their activities． They "spread the word " to save the world．

     So， while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one， there is hope． We all have a special feeling of our mother language． This is why we should remember the wise words of late president of South Africa， Nelson Mandela： "If you talk to a man in a language he understands， that goes to his head． If you talk to a man in his own language，that goes to his heart．"

    "Why do I live？ Why do I wish for anything， or do anything？ Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death？" Like Leo Tolstoy， the famous Russian writer， many people ask these difficult questions． Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions．

     As a young man， he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough． So he worked very hard to be the best in everything． He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success．

     In 1850s． Tolstoy wrote his first stories． He wrote about his life in the army． He also told stories about his childhood． These works were published and Tolstoy became a well﹣known writer．

    He earned the respect he always wanted． Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy． Some of them were writers like him． They talked a lot about faith （ 信仰） and the meaning of life． But soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect． Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith．

     So in the 1860s， Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life． He opened a school for the children of his serfs﹣the people who worked on his land． These workers were very poor． He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew．

     Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers． He understood how they worked hard to support their

families． He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning． So in 1862， Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs．

     The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy's life． It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books﹣War and Peace and Anna Karenina． Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written． In these books， Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families． Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness．

     Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today． His faith and writings have influenced many

people all over the world．

Obey the rules of British roads

      British roads， some of the safest in the world． A study in 2018 compared more than 30 countries and found that 3.8 people per 100，000 died in traffic accidents in the UK． This number was lower than any other country． So， what did British drivers do to achieve this？ What are they doing differently？ Here are five top tips for drivers who are planning a trip to the UK．

     People in Britain drive on the left side of the road． In fact， a long time ago people drove on the left in most countries， but now only a few countries have this． Don't forget that this also means you must drive the other way around roundabouts （ 环岛）．

     British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody． If you are in a queue of traffic，then don't try to push past the cars in front of yours． This is called "jumping the queue"． You must wait for your turn； otherwise people may get angry with you．

     You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red． In many countries． it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn't any other traffic around． In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this．

     If another driver flashes （闪烁） his cars lights at you， he is probably trying to tell you that he will wait for you to go first． British people don't like to use their car horn （ 喇叭） much and they think people who do so are rude．

     If you get in an accident，don't try to pay the police．The police in the UK never take money，and if you try to offer them some， you could end your holiday visiting British prison．

回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．

（1）How many tips are mentioned in the passage？　　

（2）Which side do British people drive on？　　

（3）If you jump the queue， how will other drivers feel？　　

（4）What does the driver probably mean if he flashes his car's lights at you？　　

（5）If you give the police money， what will happen to you？　　

                   Creating a study plan

     Studying is important to students． But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need． So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study．

     Then， how to make a study plan？ Well， you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject． Next， you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects． Now， it is a good idea to study at the same time every day． In this way， you actually have a plan you can remember easily． While arranging （ 安排） time for each subject， you also need to make sure that you still have time for family， friends and rest． This is because you won't be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance your personal life and your study．

     Once the plan is made， the next thing you need to do is to follow it． One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted （ 诱惑） to avoid it and do something relaxing， or fun instead． Luckily， you can fight this temptation by taking breaks． But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan． So at the start of your break，set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over． Also， you need to use your break

wisely． For example， go for a short walk， eat a small snack， or listen to some music．

     To avoid forgetting to follow your plan， try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day． Sometimes our plans are herd to follow because some important people in our lives distract （ 使分心） us from our goals． In order to avoid this， tell people in your life about your plan． Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it， and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time．
