    I love volunteering in my free time. I once1on a farm in France for a month during my summer holiday.

    On the farm, I2fifteen horses and sheep. I found I was a terrible "father" ,but I was quite3that I made some great friends and also 4my French. In fact, you 5go to other countries to volunteer. I've had lots of volunteer experiences at home, too.

    Helping others makes us feel good but volunteering can  6other good things, too. I once volunteered in a clothes shop so I could fill my wardrobe(衣柜) 7lots of nice cheap clothes.

    Volunteering is really fun, 8 my favorite part of volunteering is sharing stories. My 9 on the farm gave me many funny stories to tell. Talking to volunteers from different countries also helped me 10 more about the world.

    What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.

Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively (相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.

    Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity (容量.) As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too. The head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.

    Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.                      

    On the other hand, we tend (有…的趋势) to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive (敏感的) because they are used a great deal in modern life.

    What about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!

    Perhaps, all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive (有吸引力的) person to look at! This may well be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.

    Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi'an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二维码）. "We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使产生）the codes, and in the end everything gets easier." Said Guo. "When students finish the homework, they keep in on WeChat（微信）. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone."

    The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans（扫描）his students' QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative（创新的）, with many pictures, music and even videos.

    Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting. "We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun." said Tingting, a student of Guo's.

    "The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share," Guo said. "It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don't want my students to fall behind the times."

    However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it's unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn't take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students' work at any time. And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students.

    It was raining. I went into a cafe and asked for a coffee..While waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed loneliness. I saw their bodies, but I couldn't feel their souls because their souls belonged to the Net.

    I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it. "I am Steve," he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. "I can't talk with you. I'm busy," he said He was chatting online and,  at the same time playing a computer game: a war game. I was surprised.

    Why didn't Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek, but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction I was unhappy. I put my hand in front of the monitor and he shouted, "Leave me alone." I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people, especially Steve.I wouldn't want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people. I was worried and sank in my thoughts. I didn't even realize that the coffee was bad, just as Steve didn't notice there was a person next to him.

    If you want to study abroad, have you thought about where to live? I've been living and studying in Canada for about nine months. As I'm still too young to rent an apartment by myself. I live with a homestay family and I feel like I'm part of it.

    The first time I had a homestay was in 2013. During that time, I stayed in Ajax, a town in Canada, for a week and lived with a homestay family. Carlton lives with his nephew and his niece-in-law. Carlton drove me to an international school to learn about Canadian culture every morning, and he picked me up in the afternoons. Our leisure time was in the evening. The meals he made for me were delicious and we usually watched a movie after dinner. All experiences left an unforgettable impression on me, even if I didn't live there for a long time.

    I'm now living with a Hungarian(匈牙利) family with another Chinese boy. There are two family members— Mrs Perger and her son, Robert. I've already lived here for nine months and I have been deeply moved by many things they've done. Once, my roommate went running and didn't come back for quite a long time. Mrs Perger called him, but he didn't answer the phone. She began to worry about him, and was even about to cry.

    However, living with a homestay family also has its disadvantages, especially when living with a foreign family. The biggest challenge for me has been the totally different lifestyle, which took me a long time to get used to.

    Living with a homestay family has given me a lot of new experiences. It has taught me how to communicate with different people. Moreover, when different lifestyles and cultures meet together, I have seen that the spark(火花) they make are spectacular(壮观的).

    Middle school can be a difficult time. Some students may have to deal with exam pressure. Some may find it hard to get with others. However, many students in a middle school in America (have) a wonderful day because of some notes(便条)。

    On March 6th, students of Grade 8 (walk) into school as usual. Then everyone was (surprise) to find a note, reading "You are beautiful" on each of their lockers(储物柜).Whatever was wrong with (they),they felt happy as soon as they read the notes.

    Most of the students and teachers didn't know did the great thing. A teacher named Christina said,"It's a girl. She didn't allow me (tell) others her name. She spent over one hour and a half (write) the notes."

    The headmaster explained," my opinion, the name of the girl is not important. Each child should have a better day because someone is (care) about them."

提示词语：get ready for, take notes, on time

提示问题：What do you do to develop your good learning habits in your daily life?

Why do you do so?

    As a middle school student,
