    1is common in our life. When it's difficult to speak out, we can show a smile to 2. They will understand. That's the magic of3 smile.

    4 I went to the kindergarten, I could not understand how helpful a smile could .be. It was my teacher Mrs Wang who, through her actions, taught me what a smile meant.

    One day I was crying for some reason and other teachers just 5 me there. But Mrs Wang came over and gave me a smile. At that moment, the sunlight through the windows was shining(照耀) on us. Her smile 6 me feel warm just like the sunshine. She gave me candy, and I 7  crying. She said, "If the sweetest candy doesn't have a strong package(包装), it will melt(融化) quickly. It's the same as a 8 You may be made of sweet candy, but you also need a hard shell—a strong heart to help you go 9".

    It was so meaningful and I will never forget it. A smile is like a bouquet(束) of sunshine, and it can shine 10 our hearts with magic. It makes us behave well and be optimistic (乐观的) every day. It's amazing.

    Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7 per cent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...

    Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!

    Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are the monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.

    Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!

    Posture(姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

    Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips(噘起嘴唇). You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.

    Most children like to watch cartoons on TV because of the funny characters and the bright colours. But is it good for children to watch cartoons on TV?

    Some people think it leaves nothing for children to imagine when they are watching cartoons on TV. They can see the different characters so they need not imagine the appearance of a character or any situation in the cartoon. But when reading a book, he has to imagine what the different characters look like. He has to imagine a place or a situation described in the story he is reading, so the imaginative power of the child improves.

    Very little children may not be able to read books. But they will be happy to watch TV, especially watch cartoons. Watching cartoons will improve their language ability. As most of the cartoons are in English, watching them will improve their English. They will learn to understand the conversations between others. Their vocabulary will get improved.  They will learn how to pronounce different words. Their spoken English will also get greatly improved. These are the advantages of watching cartoons.

    But there should be a limit to everything. Parents should control their children's time on TV. However, you cannot keep children from watching TV completely. It will only do more harm than good.

    Most musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. These violins sound better than any other violin. They even sound better than the violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the Italian violins. But they aren't the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.

    Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all the old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the correct answer.

    Other people think the secret to those violins is wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees. But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin.  Musicians sometimes think that it is the secret of the Italians. Possibly they understood more than us about how to cut the wood.

    Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists can make new ones which are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish (清漆). Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.

    Many animals are in danger of dying out. We can see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least I million animal species disappeared. Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece of terrible news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not see these animals in the near future.

    Why is the number of animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and these clothes are sold at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals in a large quantity.  This irresponsible behaviour not only breaks the balance of nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

    As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws to protect these animals in danger.  Second, we must take some measures to protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our environment. Third, we should raise people's awareness to protect animals and our environment.  In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a sustainable development.

    The largest animal ever to live on Earth is the blue whale. It weighs about 80 tons--more than 24 big elephants. It is more than 30 metres long. A new baby whale weighs as much as a big elephant.

    Cats won't die if they fall off very high places because they can turn themselves up the right way so as to keep their bodies safe. One cat fell off 32 floors onto the street, but it was just hurt a little.

    A bear can run as fast as a horse.

    A new-born panda is smaller than a mouse and weighs about 100 grams.

    Elephants are the most careful animals in their love. A male elephant may show his lady love for up to three years until the female elephant takes his love. They often show their love by touching each other's body.

    Usually, wolves do not hurt people. For years a Canadian newspaper says that they would give anyone a lot of money if he or she could show that a wolf could hurt a person. But nobody could do that. Wolves do not usually go together though they may do this in winter and they only hurt people at an unusual time.

    A dog entered a butcher's shop with a note in his mouth. The note read, " $10 of lamb chops(羊排), please. "

    The butcher was very  (surprise). He took the money, put a bag of chops in the (dog) mouth, and then he closed the shop  (quick). He followed the dog and watched him wait for a green light. Then the dog crossed the road to a bus stop. He checked the timetable and sat on the bench. When a bus arrived, the dog checked the number and got  it.

    As the bus travelled out into the countryside, the dog enjoyed the scenery. After  while, he stood on his back paws  (push) the "stop" button. Then the butcher followed off.

    The dog ran up to a house and dropped his bag on the ground. He went back down the path, took a big run, and  (throw) himself against the door. No answer. He repeated the action a few times. Then a big man opened the door  started complaining about the dog and beating him.

    Seeing this, the butcher ran up and shouted at the man, "What are you doing? This dog is a genius!" The man replied, "Genius? No way! He has forgotten his key for the (four) time this month!"
