To find out who had written on the , Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to exactly what you see on the step.”
I tried my best to write the words . I didn’t want Dad to be able to tell it was me.
He gathered up our pieces of paper and looked at them. “Since of you will admit to have done it, then I will punish you all.” I stood there and said . The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!
“I ____ it.” My sister stepped forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. She was grounded (受处罚) for a month.

Arnold Pointer, a professional fisherman from the south of Australia, set free (释放) a big female white shark that was 1 in his large fishing nets. He thought she would have more and more babies. But now the fisherman is facing a(n) 2 problem. The white shark is so 3 to him that for nearly 2 years she hasn’t left him 4 . She even follows him everywhere. 5 this, Arnold Pointer can’t do fishing — all the fishes are scared at her, and he doesn’t know 6 to do anymore.
It is hard to drive away such an almost 17-feet-long shark for Arnold Pointer. We all know the white sharks are protected 7 the wildlife conservation. At the same time, some special feeling has been 8 between Arnold and “Cindy”, the name the fisherman has given the white shark.

“Never give up!” It is my law(法则) of my life. It has brought me 16 . I learned the law from my father’s 17 story.
My father was 18 in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then 19 in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework 20 midnight. Life was hard, because they had no 21 !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where 22 people can become rich.
“ 23 don’t I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of hope.
So , my father came to America. “ I had thought it was easy to 24 money in America,” he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire（雇佣） me because I spoke 25 English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, 26 dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was 27 for the first few years. I worked from 10a.m to 11p.m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t 28 the schooling(学费).
My father 29 working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,” he often says to me, “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come 30 in life.” That is what I learned from my father.

My parents have always loved everything about India, so a year ago we went on holiday there. It’s a wonderful 15 with beautiful scenes and interesting people . However, I didn’t enjoy Indian 16 very much.
On the second day we planned to see an old palace. At the 17 they said. “If you go by train, it’ll take you only two hours to get there.” However, the hot 18 took over four hours. I was very 19 when we got there , so we had some rice and vegetables with bread in a small restaurant. We were 20 to find it was quite nice. I wasn’t full up though and I saw a man nearby eating some little meatballs.
I said to my dad, “I’ve been eating rice all week. Can I have some meatballs please?”
Well, they looked delicious so I ate the first one very 21 . I was just putting the second one in my mouth when I felt myself 22 —my mouth was on fire! I started to cough（咳嗽）and there were tears (泪水)in my eyes. I couldn’t 23 how spicy (辛辣的) it was!
I drank about ten glasses of water but the worst thing was everyone was laughing at me. You couldn’t make me eat another Indian meatball for all the 24 in the world!

Scientists study the world and learn about things using a process called the scientific method(方法). By asking important questions and 16 the answers, it is possible to make amazing discoveries! Sometimes a scientist is 17 to answer his own questions, but if he has taken good notes another scientist may come along later who is able to use new knowledge to answer it.
When you use the scientific method to 18 an experiment, you start by making observations(观察) about something that 19 you. Based on your observations, you make a hypothesis. This is using 20 you know to make a smart guess about what you think could happen. Then you are ready to begin your experiment. All 21 your experiment you take down notes, which are 22 experiment date(资料). You are constantly making observations during this time. You may make discoveries that cause you to improve your experiment as you go. 23 , you conclude your experiment and begin to look over your notes to decide what it all means. Based on what you have learned, you make a final statement about 24 your hypothesis was correct or not. You have to have reasons and evidence to support what you are saying.
Using the scientific method can be difficult, but rewarding. Because all the steps are organized in a process, the 25 are more valid(可信的). When you provide observations as evidence to support what you are saying, your ideas are more likely to be accepted.
