I asked my headmaster if I could work for the 4 this summer vacation, so I could pay my bills. He was a nice man and let me work in the school garden during the 5 . I can’t study well because of my mother’s death. At the end of my second year, I didn’t 6 most of my exams and the teacher told me I had to repeat the year.

A new term has begun. Teachers are 41 about the fact that new students are not easy to deal with. They like to bring cell phones and MP3 players to school. What is worse , some students even use cell phones 42 out-of-class matters in class, or sometimes just for fun. Some 43 students listen to MP3 players when they are having a lesson that they are not interested in.
Are these new students really that 44 ? “Yes.” Says Delaney Kirk, a professor(教授) at Drake University. But she adds it’s not their fault. 45 , the teachers should be blamed(责备). Mrs Kirk first began thinking about students’ manners six years ago. “I had my first class in which students were sleeping or talking to each other. It seemed that learning well had nothing to do with them.” She says. “At first, I got worried about this.” But then I said to 46 , “You’re giving lessons, and you need to manage this kind of situation. These students need to know more about manners. It’s time to help them develop some good 47 . They shouldn’t waste time doing nothing when they are young. Sooner or later, they may regret(后悔) the time they 48 .”
Mrs Kirk also makes a list of suggestions to help teachers better manage(驾驭) their classes. The following are among her suggestions:
On the first day of class, tell students how they will benefit(受益)by taking the class and the importance 49 listening carefully in class.
Do not allow them to bring cellphones or MP3 players to the class at all.
Tell them 50 to use cell phones or MP3 players properly(适当地)..

It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that __50__ two dollars isn’t any less valuable(有价值的)than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.

My first job of volunteering was 49 in summer. The kids were from families 50 low income(低收人).They were at different 51 ,from primary school pupils to high school students.We talked about the 52 ,sadness and happiness.I told them that lessons were much more important than money,though I knew they did not have 53 lives.I 54 that my experience would help them.
55 ,we needed to make better plans,and sometimes we didn’t know what to do at all,especially when 56 happened.
Step3 Wishes

“You are my best friend.” It’s the nicest thing you can 36 to someone. It’s also the nicest thing you can 37 someone.
Good friendships begin in middle school. It’s the 38 you begin to develop your own personality. Your parents aren’t around so you 39 lots of time every day sharing your life with your classmates. You talk with them, you work with them and you become friends with them. But 40 them will become your “best” friend.
Best friends are the people who like you and 41 you the most. They are the 42 who are easy to work with and easy to have fun with.
Sometimes it’s 43 to find a best friend. And sometimes you can 44 a little lonely. But just because you don’t have best friend now, it doesn’t mean you 45 one in the future. Best friends seem to find each other as if by magic. And when you find your best friend, the magic will last forever.

Dear Bill,
How are you? It’s very nice 36 you to write to me. Let me 37 something about my life in China. I think you 38 to know it. I live in Li Lei’s home. He is my 39. His father and mother are both teachers. Their house isn’t big. 40 of them are very friendly 41 me. They teach me Chinese 42 I teach them English. Now I 43 with them in Chinese. But I can’t 44 very well. Chinese is very 45 to learn, I think. Mrs Li often teaches me how to 46 Chinese food. Hmm! How much I like Chinese food!

Dear friends,
Do you remember your first day at a new school or in a new area? How about the 31 when your family 32 to a new state? Ugh! What about the feelings of being a stranger?
Then, with time, you find someone who likes 33 you like. Friends are great gifts in life. I have good friends too, but not because they are completely(完全的) 34 .Sometimes they talk too much; sometimes they need me a lot. I know I ask too much of them. I hope my friends, like my father, 35 about me a lot.
I once told my friends to give me all their love and be generous and gentle. I told my friends, in other words, to love me 36 I loved them.
They didn’t 37 me at first, but then they became kinder. My love for them slowly made them learn to 38 friends. They learned to love others and 39 the idea that LOVE is part of life.
If we listen to and try to understand each other, love 40 .We should work on it, even if it’s hard at first. A true friend loves US at all times.
Your friend,
Jesus

Thousands of years ago,human(人类)didn’t live in towns.Sometimes they would live in caves(洞穴)or build camps in the forest.
Only about thirty people 1 in each camp.The men would go hunting while the woman and children 2 food from trees around the camp.All the food was 3 among people in the group.Every few weeks they moved to another place to find more food.It was a simple life,but people had to be 4.They had to make everything that they needed,and they had to know a lot about plants and animals.
Nowadays most people live in towns and cities,and they work in offices and factories.Life is 5 than in the old days.There are fewer 6 ,but there is less excitement.Some people go 7 excitement sailing round the world.climbing mountains,or exploring(探测)caves.
Most people look forward to the 8 ,a time when they can enjoy a change from the normal life.For some this means going camping.But camping today is 9 from camping in the past.Gas cookers,ready-made food and air-beds mean people can camp much more 10 than they did in the old times.
