If you 9 animals’ life, you’ll find the main use of colors is to protect 10 . Bears, lions and other animals 11 quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters 12 their colors are much like the trees.
Colors are useful not only on the land, but also in the 13 . A kind of fish can 14 a kind of black liquid(液体) when they face danger.

I like movies best. Last week, I 1 a movie called ⅠRobot. It tells us a story about the future with robots. It is the year of 035 and people can see robots everywhere. Robots can help people do a lot of things, like looking 2 the old people or babies, washing, cooking, cleaning or taking dogs for a walk. Robot does everything people ask them to do 3 . But a policeman , 4 Spooner ,doesn’t like robots. Because he doesn’t think that people can live well 5 robots. One day a scientist kills himself. He leaves（留下） a robot. Some time later Spooner finds 6 wrong with the robots in the world. A 7 robots have their own thoughts(思想) and want to control(控制) the people. If the robots succeed（成功）, it will be very 8 for people. Susan is another scientist working on robots. Finally, Susan and Spooner decide to 9 together to fight against these robots. At last, they succeed. People control the robots again.

Some people have very good memories(记忆力) and can easily learn quite long poem（诗歌） by heart. Some people have 1 memories and can only remember things that they have said again and again.
The 2 English writer Charles Dickens said that he could walk down 3 street in London and then tell you the name of every shop on 4 sides of the street. Great men in the world have wonderful memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns 5 own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small child.

At school it is not so easy to learn foreign languages 7 students have little time for it and they are busy with other subjects as well.

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish 1 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.
Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is 2 every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are 3 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait 4 my ideas on how to promote it.
First，we should 5 a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 6 the no-car day, neither students 7 teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time，just walk or run. Use our 8 and enjoy the fun.
Second, we had better not use plastic bags 9 . No one can stand the “white pollution”， 10 it is wise to use cloth bags which can 11 again and again.
12 ，one thing 13 we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn 14 the lights the moment we leave, use 15 sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.
All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these：no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
