A book review of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a lively story full of fun．
Tom， the hero of the book， lives with his aunt Polly． He is a lively and clever boy． He doesn't like people telling him （1） to do， so he always gets into trouble． He and his best friend， Huck Finn， run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River． Tom has more（2） because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him． Later， Tom escapes （runs away） from a cave with another friend， Becky． He also finds Injun Joe's treasure box and takes it （3） ．
My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Hunk start （4） adventures on the island in the Mississippi River． At first， they are （5） ． But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead， they feel very sorry， so they come back home． They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours （6） to their funeral in the church． Then， Tom and Huck （7） appear． Everyone is surprised to see them at first， but very pleased to find that they are alive．
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book． It is more than an adventure story． Mark Twain wrote it in 1876． It describes people's lives in the southern （8） of American at that time． It tells how young people grow， how people love each other and how bad people（9） for their actions． It is written in everyday English， and the dialogues sound especially real． Today， it is still read and loved （10） people all over the world， and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories．

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet． He held up a sign which said，"I am blind， please （1） ．"
There were only a few coins in the hat． A man was walking by． He took a few coins from his pocket and （2） them into the hat．He then took the sign， turned（3） around，and wrote some words． He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the （4） words．Soon the hat began to fill up． A lot （5） people were giving money to the blind boy．That aftermoon the man who had changed the sign come to see how things （6） ． The boy recognized（识别） his footsteps and asked， "Were you the one who changed my sign this moming？ What did you write？" The man said， "I only wrote the（7） ． I said what you said but in （8） different way．"What he had written was，" Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it．"
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing？Of course （9） signs told people the boy was blind． But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat． The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy thebeauty of the day， but the boy could not enjoy it （10） he was blind．

◆Take good notes
Not sure how to take notes？ Start by writing down facts that your teacher mentions o（83） writes on the blackboard in class． Try your best to use good handwriting so that you can read your notes later． It's also a good idea to keep your notes， quizzes， and papers （84） by subject．
◆Plan b（85） tests
It's not wise of you to wait until T（86） night to study for Friday's test． It also makes it hard to do your best． You'll feel sorry for p（87） off things often． One of the best ways is to plan ahead．
◆Get a good night's sleep

Tom felt really pleased．When he arrived （66） his seat in the classroom that morning，he （67）f an invitation on his desk．It was from several of his classmates asking him to join them in a camping trip．This was the first time he was asked to join in an out﹣of﹣school activity．Why were they asking him now？Nobody seemed to like him．In fact，he had been so lonely that he had drowned（掩盖） his felling with food．As a result，he had put on a lot of （68） /weit/，and this gave the kids something more to make（ 69） of him．
When Tom read the invitation，Nancy went out quickly to tell the others that the trick（恶作剧） had worked．Everyone was happy that Tom thought that was true．But there was no camping trip．The whole thing was （70） （make） up．
First of all，Nancy thought it was fun．But later，when Tom told her that he was going to buy a （71） （sleep） bag with his savings（积蓄），Nancy had a （72）s idea．She （73） _____/nju：/that Tom's family had （74）l money，and she hated to see him spend his savings on something he would never use．Nancy also hated to tell Tom the （75）_____ （true）．Her close friends would be angry with her．

The situation（情况） became worse and worse．One day，the vegetables got angry and decided to use up all the w（90） in the ground so that the tree would dry up．The tree fought back（反击） by stopping giving the vegetables shade（树荫） from the hot sun．Soon they both began to dry up．
Neither（两者都不） of them thought that the gardener would stop watering his vegetable f（91）___ when he saw it becoming worse．When the gardener did that，the tree and the vegetables really felt how t（92） they were．There seemed to be no ways to solve（解决） the problem，but one of the vegetables，a small pumpkin realized（意识到）what was h（93） ，and decided to deal with it．Though there was little water and it was too hot，the little pumpkin did all he could to grow…F（94） ，he grow very big，the gardener noticed that and started watering the field again because he wanted to win the beautiful big pumpkin competition．At the same time，the tree and the vegetables grew better．They realized（认识到） that it was b（95） to help each other than to fight．

It's normal for the human mind to wander （走神）． So many things may fill your mind and pull your thoughts in different directions． This isn't always（1） ． Sometimes a wandering mind can lead to a new creation． However， wandering thoughts can also stop you（2） getting things done， keep you up at night， or hurt your health． Don't worry． Try the following practice．
Doing Exercise and Activities
Slow down and let your mind focus （专注） on your breathing． By controlling your breathing， you bring your（3） to work together with your body． Once you lose interest in what you're doing， you can take a break from it． Go for a walk， do some exercise，take a shower or even lie down and think about（4） ．These activities help a lot．
Focusing on Tasks You're Doing
Do one task at a time． It won't slow you down． Instead， it keeps your mind focused and you'll be able to get more done（5） ．While doing tasks， don't look around from time to time． If there's something keeping your mind wandering， allow yourself a specific （特定的） time to worry， think or plan．（6） the time is up， refocus on your next task．
Controlling Worrying Thoughts
Writing down or sharing your worries helps to get them out of your head． When here's big task，it's understandable to put it off． But by（7） it bravely and trying to solve it， you can get away from your worrying thoughts， If it doesn't work after you're tired everything， （8） that there are always things you can't change．
You've been here in China for a few days， and you may notice that Chinese people can sometimes be very direct． But don't be fooled into thinking you can（1） anything you like to them． Here are a few things foreigners（2） China should never say．
Have you been on vacation？ You look so tanned （晒黑的）!
While many people in the West grow up with the idea that dark skin is a sign of beauty， this is not true in China． That explains（3） umbrellas are just as common on sunny days as they are on rainy days here．
I really love China， but…
Don't finish that to（4） ． No place can be perfect． It's fine if you say something impolite about your（5） country， but don't do it about someone else's． This doesn't just happen in China， but it's fair to say the Chinese people show more love to their country．
I think Chinese food is the best food in the world．
What's that？ As everyone in China should already know this， saying that you love Chinese food is like saying that sugar is（6） or ice is cold． It's won't hurt anybody， but they may think you know（7） about their food culture． Since there are many different kinds of Chinese food， it sounds better to talk about the local food that you like most．
Keep them in mind and（8） your stay in China!
Sometimes we are used to drawing a quick conclusion（结论），But is it right or not？My little son gave me a（78） ．
One day，I took my five-year-old son to go out for a walk after dinner．On the way，we saw an old woman selling fruits．I didn't take enough money with me．（79） my son liked eating fruit very much，I could buy only two pears and gave them to him．
The little boy held the pears in his hands．I asked him if he could share one （80） me．On hearing this，he quickly took a bite（咬） from one pear，and the （81） ．
I was quite surprised．I（82） myself what mistakes I had made in educating my son so that he acted in such a greedy（贪婪） way．I was lost in thought．Perhaps I was just （83） too much．My son was too young to know about sharing and giving．
Suddenly，my son gave me the pear in his right hand and said，"Mom，you have this one．This one is much sweeter．"Then I knew why my little son took a bite from （84） pear．
From then on，I always tell myself not to reach a conclusion too（85） ．Try to spend some more time in understanding things better．
For this month's Young World magazine，I interviewed 19﹣year﹣old Asian pop star Candy Wang．Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her （66） （shy）．Now she's not shy anymore and enioys （67） （sing） in front of crowds．
I asked Candy how life was diffierent after she became famous．She explained that there are many good things，like being able （68） （travel） and meet new poople all the time，"I didn't use to be popular in school，but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go"（69） （however），too much attention can also be a bad thing，"I always have to worry about how I appear to others，and I never dare to be （70） （care）about what I say or do．And I have much （71） （little） private time now because there are always guards around me．"
What does Candy have to say to all （72） （that）young people who want to become famous？"Well，"she begins（73） （slow），"you have to be prepared to give up your normal life．You can never imagine how dificult the road to success is．Many times I （74） （think） about giving up，but I fought on．You really require a lot of talent and hard （75） （work） to succeed．Only a very small number of people make it to the top"．
