Look at the photo of a boy. Do you know who he is? Many Chinese people know him very well now. His name is Lin Hao. He is only nine years old now, but he can save his two partners during the earthquake in Sichuan on May 12, 2008. He carried his two partners with his weak back at that dangerous time. And they got nothing about his parents then. His fourteen-year-old sister took them away and walked seven hours difficultly. At last, they got to Du Jiangyan City safely. He was very calm when he appeared in the picture of the reporter’s cameral. Just as his brave behavior, we are all moved. And he was named “Ten Little Heroes during the Earthquake” by CCTV.
At the same time, another nine children were named “Ten Little Heroes during the Earthquake” by CCTV. Lei Chunian, a 15-year-old child, is a middle school student. He did not run out when the earthquake happened, instead he ran into the classroom and found his seven classmates were sitting at the corner of the classroom. He took them away at once. On the half way, he found there were only six. At that very dangerous time, he ran back to the classroom again. He found a girl crying there because of fearing. He asked her to run away quickly. But she was too afraid to move. So he carried her and ran out of the classroom. A few seconds later, the building fell down and they were all safe.
Let’s remember all these little heroes for ever. They are Ren Dong, Ning Jiaci, Dong Yupei, Liu Li, Tang Fuwen, Kang Jie, Zhou Wen, Yin Quankui and Zhu Hualin. We should learn their spirit of helping others during the dangerous time. Among them, Liu Li and Zhou Wen lost their lives. Zhou Wen is a Tibet (藏族) girl.

There are over 800 boarding schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
What to do?
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can't go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light-out” time. So when it's time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
What to wear?
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
____________?
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert.

MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a food additive (食品添加剂), which has been widely used by many food factories all over the world since it appeared first in Japan in 1909.
MSG is a substance that is added to some food to improve its original (原先的) taste and colour. It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions (反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat (心跳). It was also reported that MSG excited a person's brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders (神经紊乱). In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didn’t want to eat the food including MSG.
Today many food companies “hide” MSG on food labels (标签) by using different names. If you see “natural flavorings”, “hydrolyzed protein” and “spices” in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to “report” MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.
To protect people’s health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.Monosodium Glutamate is _______.

When I was a little kid, a father was like the light in the fridge. Every house had one, but no one really knew what either of them did when the door was shut.
My dad left the house every morning and always seemed glad to see every one again at night. He opened the jar of pickles when no one else at home could. He was the only one in the house who wasn’t afraid to go into the basement by himself.
Whenever it rained, he got into the car and brought it around to the door. When anyone was sick, he went out to get the prescription(处方) filled. He set mousetraps. He cut back the roses so the thorns(刺) wouldn’t hurt you when you came to the front door. He oiled my roller skates, and they went faster. When I got my bike, he ran alongside me for at least a thousand miles until I got the hang of it. He signed all my report and cards. He took a lot of pictures, but was never in them. He tightened up Mother’s sagging(松垂的) clothesline every week or so.
I was afraid of everyone else’s father, but not my own.
Whenever I played house(玩过家家), the mother doll had a lot to do. I never knew what to do with the daddy doll, so I had him say, “I’m going off to work now,” and threw him under the bed.
