Summer schools
Summer vacation means long days，sleeping in or enjoying the summer sun．It is quite true for students to enjoy a rest after a long and difficult year．But more and more parents fear their kids forgetting a lot of knowledge，so they send their children to summer schools．Because summer schools can help children go over the knowledge that they have learnt during the school year．
In summer schools，students probably study in a more relaxing situation and can come up with interesting topics for discussion with their teachers．Usually，the number of students attending summer schools is smaller，so this gives them a good chance to connect with other students and teachers better．If a student has failed a course，summer schools may help him or her．Moreover，they are building their creativity （创造力）and imagination（想象力）as well as learning social skills．
On the other hand，summer schools bring children problems at the same time．It takes children the whole summer vacation to learn without playing．That is too long．As a result，it may make them less interested in school during the coming year．
For many students，taking summer classes can be a tiring experience．Teachers teach the subjects too quickly．which only harms the whole education of students．Summer schools are usually expensive．They usually offer only a few subject．So many students have to take classes that they don't like．
A summer school can be a good chance for students who need it，but it can be difficult for students who need a rest．SO you can decide whether a summer school is suitable for your children．

The earliest maps were probably drawn in the Middle East．Some of these maps have

From simple pictures，mapmaking has turned into a science．Maps are made（20） surveying（勘测） land．In the 1900s，people around the world started to share information to make （21） maps．With the help of the photographs taken from the sky and space，maps are now more exactly made than ever．（22） the world is always changing，we will always need new maps．

In Britain，the government，school leaders，teachers and parents all agree that students should wear uniforms．（66）B Birtish private schools and schools have their own school uniforms．They think it's（67）i for pupils to wear school uniforms．

decide what it should look like．You know，no students want to wear（69）u unifroms．
Everybody wants to wear beautiful uniforms．
Leaders have to follows the rules，and they（70）c just choose anything they like．They have to（71）t of the students' feeling and taste．Here are a few（72）f leaders should consider．

Since I came to my new neighbourhood，I have had the pleasure of meeting a few neighbours．They seem to be quite（16） people．For Christmas，I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbours that I know．I sat down and （17） ．There were nine neighbours，and I also knew which houses they lived in．
However，I decided to（18） one more person to my list，the lady I met every morning walking to work as I drove down the street．She always managed a sweet smile and a hearty wave（挥手），（19） I had no idea which house she lived in．
My gift idea was to make small （20） baskets and leave them on each of my neighbour's front porches（门廊）the night of Christmas Eve．I kept the last one for the friendly lady，since I was still not exactly sure where she lived（21） the house down about where I met her each morning．Finally I decided to put it there．My neighbours really enjoyed the baskets and a couple even came by to（22） me．
This morning on my way to work，I placed my mail in the mailbox and noticed a Thank You card．I opened it and read the（23） which really caught me by surprise．
The card said，"Thank you for those lovely apples and strawberries you left on the porch of Tod．He（24） on January 19，but he never stopped talking about how nice it was that someone
（25） him in his time of illness．He really enjoyed it．"
I was very（26） ． I had no idea who Tod was or that he had been seriously（27） ．I had left that nice lady's basket on Tod's porch by accident．I believe that Tod never expected to have that basket．I feel（28） that the nice lady did not get a basket from me this Christmas，but I believe that if she knew what had happened，she would（29） me．
I feel lucky to have helped Tod be more cheerful in his last days．This just makes me further believe that sometimes（30） in life are beautiful．
