June is always a sad time for Senior Three students. After taking the big test, they leave to 31 their dreams in different ways. It’s hard time when students 32 to say goodbye to carefree high school days and close friends.
People always say that teenage friendships are the most precious. Kids are too young to understand real friendship while adults 33 to relate it to fame and wealth.
Things are 34 with high school best friends. We share each other’s secret. We discuss news from all walks of life and begin to 35 our values. We support each other on the journey to the biggest 36 in our lives. We also share success and failure. The seeds of friendship become deeply rooted.
Many of us don’t realize this 37 we enter society. One of my friends, Yang Ping, 38 how strong the bond with high school friends could be. “ It was my high school friend who helped me get 39 the darkest days in my life,” said the 27-year-old girl.
In 2001 Yang lost her job in Beijing. Yang’s best friend was staying in a college dormitory and took her in. Each night the two girls squeezed into a narrow single bed, chatting and crying. “I’ll never forget her care and encouragement, which supported me out of the darkness,” said Yang.
I 40 remember my last days in Senior 3. At the time, I 41 a 20-page message with my best friend, both of us hoping to keep the friendship 42 forever.
But we didn’t realize we were already deep in each other’s 43 . During the past ten years, whenever I’ve needed help or wanted to pour out my 44 , she has always been there at the other end of a telephone line.
It is true that friends come and go. But never forget the ones who have been there for you. Take a closer look at those now around you, they could be the most precious 45 you discover in your entire life.

It was her giggling that drew my attention．Note taking really wasn’t all that funny．
Walking over to the offender, I asked for the 21 ．Frozen, she refused to give it to me．I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet 22 between teacher and student．When she finally 23 it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it”.
It was a hand-drawn 24 of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth．I managed to fold it up calmly．My mind, 25 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 26 .
I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture．It would do them some 27 to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself 28 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture．They were all silent as I told them how 29 this was for me．I told them there must be a reason 30 and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me．Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom．
As I 31 the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt．” Some kids said, “We’re 32 of you．” But two notes, from the girls who I 33 were behind the picture, had a list of issues．I was too 34 , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of 35 my students, I had begun commanding them to 36 ．Where I thought I was driving them to success I was 37 driving them away．
I had some apologizing to do．But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card．The one 38 by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke．The one from the girls asked for 39 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me．Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the 40 .

We are warned by our teachers not to waste time because time 21 will never return. I think it quite 22. What does time look 23? Nobody knows, and we can’t see it or touch it and no 24 of money can buy it. Time is abstract(抽象的), so we have to 25about it.
Time passes very quickly. Some students say they don’t have 26time to review their lessons. It is 27 they don’t know how to make use of their time. They waste it in going to theatres or playing, and 28 other useless things. Why do we study everyday? Why do we work? Why do most people 29 take buses instead of walking? The answer is very 30 .We wish to save time because time is31.
Today we are living in the 21st century. We 32 time as life. When a person dies, his life ends. Since life is short, we must 33 our time and energy to our study so that we 34 be able to work and live well in the future. Laziness is the 35 of time, for it not only brings us 36, but also does other 37 to us. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, 38 us do it today and not 39 it until tomorrow. Remember that time is much more 40.

Britain and Ireland
The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other __16 . Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is17 into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.
The United Kingdom is that 18 of the British Isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 19 of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The 20 of Ireland is self-governing. The 21 name of the United Kingdom is 22 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.
23 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest 24 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 25 “England” and “English” when they 26 “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 27 . The Scots in particular are very 28 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard 29 as English, and have a culture and even a 30 of their own.
Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 31 ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 32 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still 33 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 34 to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦). Unlike the major Commonwealth countries it did not lift a finger to 35 British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.

We have completed our first month of preschool. Matthew seems to 26 it. He is catching on to the routine quite nicely. I didn’t leave him there 27 much the first couple weeks. I am finding if I’m not there he behaves much better.
In this class a little German boy, who does not speak 28 ，cried all the time at first and now cries occasionally.
The Monday of the second week the little fellow just cried and cried. He was sitting 29 Matthew. I thought Matthew was going to start 30 and join in. I stood by and watched, ready for the rescue. Matthew kept turning around and 31 the boy. Then he reached his hand back and 32 him on the leg. He was comforting the boy! Later Matthew was playing with a 33 and the boy with blocks. Actually he was just standing by and crying. Matthew drove his truck over to the blocks, 34 it, picked up a few of the blocks and started handing them to 35 . They then together started 36 towers on the table and the little boy 37 crying．It seemed 38 Matthew knew what the little guy needed．Here was the little guy，who can’t speak English，and Matthew，who 39 playing together，like they were best 40 .
One of the days when I stayed，they were at lunch and Matthew was 41 at the table. I pulled up a chair to sit next to him．He smiled，then grabbed his book bag and took off running 42 the cafeteria．I took off after him．When we reached the wall he just giggled (咯咯笑)，turned around and looked at me． I bent 43 to blame him for leaving his seat and running. He suddenly 44 a big wet kiss right on my cheek and smiled at me．All I could do was to take his hand and 45 him back to his seat．Then I turned my back and couldn’t help laughing.
