    Have you heard of the Great Wall? It is one of the  1  wonders in the world. Every year thousands of  2 from all over the world come to visit this place of  3  in China.

    Last Saturday, I went to the Great Wall with some of my friends. It was a  4  day. On our way up, we saw many volunteers standing in the sun. They helped  5  with their bags. And they also helped some visitors  6 photos. They were very tired, but they didn't stop to have a rest. We were  7 when we saw this.

    Just at that time, we saw a little boy standing alone and crying. We went over and asked what happened  8 him. From his answer, we knew that he couldn't  9  his mother. We told him not to worry about it and then we tried to call his mother with the phone number he gave us. Twenty minutes  10  , his mother  11 . When she saw his son, she was very  12  and thanked us with tears in her eyes.

    That day we not only enjoyed the  13 of the Great Wall, but also felt the warmth of the society. If everyone can give a helping hand to  14 , the world around us will be  15 beautiful.

    Imagine there is a bank that gives you $86,400 each morning. Every evening the bank deletes （删除） the part that you fail to use during the day. What would you do? Take out every cent, of course!

    Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME. Every morning, time gives you 86,400 seconds. Every day it opens a new account for you. Every night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's savings, the lost is yours.

    To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed in SSC Exam.

    To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature （早产的） baby.

    To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.

    To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided （避免） an accident.

    Make good use of every moment that you have. Remember that time waits for no one. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it's called "The Present".

    Every student can learn rope jumping. You can jump alone or with your classmate. You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over, one at a time. If you jump alone, you will need a short rope and it will be just enough for your height. Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size.

    A rope should be turned slowly. It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely. Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing. In rope jumping, timing means turning the rope slowly enough for you to jump over at the right time without its striking your feet.

    When you jump rope, you breathe faster and your face has a healthy color. But if you jump too many times at first, you will get tired. You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again. If you practice, you can increase the number of times without resting.

    Many people like to travel during their vacations. Some people travel in tour groups because they think it is safe and cheap. A tour guide takes care of the group and makes sure the group can see a lot of interesting and beautiful sights. Other people like traveling alone or with friends. If you travel by yourself, you are free to see what you want to see.

    Why do people like to travel? Some people travel to learn more about other countries' people, culture, food and languages. Some people travel for adventure（冒险）. They want to do some different things, such as skiing, bungee jumping and mountain climbing. Other people like to shop when they travel. They look for new things or cheap ones when shopping.

    There are different ways to travel. Some people take trains, boats or buses, some fly and others drive cars. Some people like to travel slowly and spend a long time in each place, while others like to take quick tours and visit more places in a short time.

    My mom only had one eye. I hated her. She was such an embarrassment.

    She ran a small shop at a flea （跳蚤） market and collected old clothes and some other things to sell for the money we needed. Once during elementary school, it was field day, and my mom came. I was so embarrassed and wondered how she could do this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school, my schoolmates laughed at me, "Your mom only has one eye!" I was so angry with my mom. So I said to my mom, "Why don't you have the other eye?" My mom said nothing.

    I hated my one-eyed mom. I told myself that I would become successful in the near future, so I studied very hard. Later, I got accepted by the Seoul University. I left my mom and came to Seoul to study. Then I got married there. Now I am living happily as a successful man. I enjoy the life in Seoul because it's a place that doesn't remind me of my mom and my past. This kind of happiness was getting bigger and bigger, until one day I saw my mom. She was still with her one eye. Even my daughter ran away, scared of my mom's eye. I screamed at her, "Who are you? I don't know you! How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter?" To this, my mom quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address." Then she disappeared out of sight.

    One day, a letter about a school reunion （学校聚会） came. After the reunion, I went down to the old shack, which I used to call a house. There I found my mom fallen on the cold ground. Then a piece of paper in her hand came into my eyes. It was a letter to me.

My son,

    I'm so sorry that I only have one eye, and I was an embarrassment for you. When you were very little, you got into an accident and lost your eye. As a mom, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son to see a whole new world for me with that eye. During the couple of times that you were angry with me, I thought to myself, it's because you love me. Don't cry for me because of my death. I love you so much."

Mandy: Lisa, are you OK?

Lisa: I have a headache and I can't move my neck. What should I do? Should I take  temperature?

Mandy: No, it doesn't sound like you have a fever. What did you do on the  ?

Lisa: I played computer games all the weekend.

Mandy: That's probably why. You need to take   away from the computer.

Lisa: Yeah, I think I    in the same way for too long    moving.

Mandy: I think you should lie down and rest. If your head and neck still hurt tomorrow, then go to a doctor.

Lisa: OK! Thanks, Mandy.

    Do you know a 24-year-old bus driver, Wang Ping? He is my uncle, and he is my idol （偶像）. He has a lot of hobbies. He likes sports very much. We often play basketball and football together. He tells me the    (good) way to relax is   exercise. It is healthy for the mind and the body. He also likes reading. He thinks reading is   (education).

Last week he saw an old man    (lie) on the side of the road while he was driving a bus. When he saw this, he stopped the bus without    (think) twice. Then he got off and asked the old man what happened. When he knew the old man was   (bad) ill, he asked all of the passengers to get off and wait for the next bus. But to    (he) surprise, they all agreed to go with him.

    Thanks    my uncle and the passengers, the old man was saved by the doctors in time. How happy my uncle was! My uncle is such a man who often doesn't think about himself. He only thinks about others.
