When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a 41 .
It was the early autumn of my 42 year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. 43 , no one knew who I was. I was very 44 , and afraid to make friends with anyone.
Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart 45 . I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problems. And I didn’t want my parents to 46 me.
Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily 47 . At that moment, a boy 48 the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, 49 a word, smiled.
Suddenly, I 50 the touch of something bright and friendly. 51 made me feel happy and warm.
That smile 52 my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became 53 to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now.
One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t 54 smiling at me!
It doesn’t 55 because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back.

Last year I met Mr. Flood. It started raining and 42 raining almost a month: the water on the streets got higher and higher every day. We used 43 instead of cars. We lost lots of things, including our businesses, our jobs and our homes.
Schools 44 and farms were destroyed. We ran out of food and clean water. In some places the water was higher than the buildings. I felt like we lived in a(n) 45 _ world.
Because of the flood, lots of 46 broke out. Because of the dead animals, some people 47 . The soil and other things made the water become very, very 48 _. That was in summer time, so though it was raining, the 49 was still high. The hot weather and really dirty water 50 the air very bad. Hospitals didn't have enough rooms for 51 .
When the flood was over, I looked around my city. The word “ 52 ” can describe the situation. Everything was destroyed and lots of people were sick, but we were very 53 .1 think.

Dear Sigmund Friend
My name is Simon and I am a Grade 9 student. I am crazy 31 football! I love 32 football, reading about football, and of course, playing football. My dream 33 a great football player. However, my love of football has become a big problem, and I would like your 34 .
I have 35 friends, and we always play football together at school or in the park after school. We like staying out late to play football. We often play for three hours or more and forget when to stop. Then I 36 trouble at home because my parents do not allow me to play ou
tside after 6 p.m. I really do not understand why they are so strict. I feel stressed and angry 37 . I believe it is important for us to spend some time on our ho
bbies. They can help us relax and make our lives 38 .I wish I could have my parents’ 39 .
Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less time on it? I really do not know 40 . Can you please advise me how to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies? Thanks a lot.
Best wishes

Dear Sigmund Friend
I am a Grade 9 student. I have 21 problem, and I do not know how to deal 22 it.
I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice 23 to do it. I often stay up late to complete 24 , and then feel tired the next day.
Sometimes, I want to 25 to do so much work, but usually I just accept it. I understand that it is important to do my homework and 26 on time. However, I hardly have any spare time for my hobbies 27 playing volleyball and ping-pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is worth 28 so hard.
I am 29 a holiday without homework so that I can relax and have some time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? They will be of great value to me. I hope to 30 you soon.
Best wishes

Once we moved into a new house and had to go shopping to buy new chairs and lights. In the supermarket, I’m interested 42 some of the beautiful lights with good qualities and made my father buy them.
When we got home, my father began to work out how much money we had 43 that day. Suddenly, he stopped. “Something’s wrong.” he said. “I’ve got 30 yuan 44 than I should!”“That’s great,” I said. “You can buy me that 45 book I want.”
Father said nothing. Instead, he counted（数） how much money he had again and again.
“The salesgirl must have made a mistake. We 46 go back to the shop,” he said.
“Do you have to go back?” I asked. “Nobody will know we 47 too much change(找零). It would be foolish to go back.”
“It wouldn’t be ‘foolish’.” my father said angrily. “It’s called being 48 .” At that moment, I looked into his eyes and knew he was right.
The salesgirl was surprised to see us in the shop again. But 49 we gave her the money, she thanked us a lot.
On my way home, my father stopped me 50 smiled. “Do you still want that cartoon book?” he asked. I looked at my “foolish” father and answered loudly, “Father, you are the greatest!”

Scientist Without Laboratories
When you hear the word “scitentist”, what do you think of? Many people think scientist are people in clean white coats who work in labs. And some scientists do work in labs. But there are 26 scientist who work in woods and jungles. These scientists are called “animal behavior (行为) scientists”, and they study animals as they live in nature.
Why don’t these scientists catch animals and study them in zoos? The 27 is in the word “behavior”. Animals behavior scientists want to learn 28 animal behave in their wild homes. When animals live in cages (笼子) or in zoos, they do not act the same as they do when they are 29 . They may fight 30 each other, or they may not eat, or they may not raise (抚养) their babies as they usually would. To see real animal behavior, scitentists must go where the animals 31 .
So animal behavior scientists go into the jungles, the woods or the desert. There , their most important 32 are their eyes and ears. They watch and listen to the animals very 33 . They write down everything that happened in notebook. 34
they live near the animals, the scientists are careful not to frighten them. If the scientists are luncky, the animals will 35 no attention to them. Then the scientists can see how the animals really live.
The behavior scientists hope what they’ve learned about animal behavoir can provide clues (提供线索) to help people learn to live together more happily.
