—Yes, my cousins live here.

I don't remember much about what I2 in her class. My mother once told me that I used to3 a lot. I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it. There were so many4, but no red corrections (改正), and always a star. Sometimes even a "Good" would make my heart full of5. One day, my mother went to6 Mrs White for one of the parent-teacher activities. Then she asked Mrs White7 she never corrected my mistakes in the right spellings of words or pointed out grammatical mistakes.

"The children just8 to get excited about using words and making sentences. I don't want my students to lose9 because of red ink (墨水). Spelling and10 can wait, but the wonder of words won't..." MrsWhite said.

I can remember the time of learning in kindergarten was so happy for me. As I grow up, I11 wonder many things and love my life. I look back now and think Mrs White must be such a(n)12 teacher that uses as less red pen as possible.

I used to misspell (拼错) "beautiful" a lot, and could never remember that the "e" goes before the "a". It made my teacher in the high school13. She asked me to use"pretty"instead when I was writing. I didn't listen to her. In my eyes, "pretty" is14 to spell, but it doesn't hold as much as we mean sometimes.

Thanks to Mrs White, I have never15 writing what I mean even if I couldn't quite spell it out. Because life isn't "pretty", it's "beautiful".

Hongbao in China

While Western kids dream about what Santa will bring them, Chinese kids will be getting their money box ready to receive hongbao. Hongbao, red envelopes, are the traditional gifts that adults give children during the Chinese New Year holiday period. The general idea is that adults with income give children with no income hongbao during Chinese New Year.

You'll see hongbao used as decorations (装饰) on just about every Chinese New Year flower and plant that is displayed during the season. And they are only used for decoration. I know because my son checks them whenever he can reach them.

Weddings (婚礼) are big events where hongbao are given by guests invited to the wedding instead of gifts. The amount of money to give at a wedding can be tricky (微妙的) and if you are invited to a Chinese wedding, you can ask for some advice about how much to give.

If you need hongbao, you can buy them at shops at any time of the year. So you ensure you don't get one that says "Congratulations on your marriage" for a birthday.

These days, people don't even have to leave the comfort of their sofas to give hongbao. Wechat, a popular instant message and photo sharing app, introduced electronic hongbao, so now it's even easier.

A. These will be empty.

B. It is necessary to buy fancy ones.

C. Hongbao are given at other occasions too.

D. Ask the shop owner or a friend which one to buy.

E. Friends send each other hongbao from their phones!

F. In fact, "children" can even mean young adults who are unmarried.

In the past, people could only see dead animals in museums. But later, animals were caught alive by explorers (探险家). They put them in small zoos called menageries and showed them to the public. Back then, people didn't care much about how animals were treated.

But now, zoos and wildlife parks have changed a lot. People try to make zoos more like their natural homes. They build bigger places, and try to make the environment as close to the nature as possible.

Some people think it's not right to keep animals in zoos just for our entertainment (娱乐). But zoos say they are trying to help animals by teaching us about protecting them. And now, zoos that are run well also help to support and pay for programs that protect animals.

Zoos help to save animals that are in danger of disappearing because of climate (气候) change. Robert Young, an expert on protecting animals, says that zoos are important because they keep many animals from going extinct. Some zoos have special programs to help animals have babies so they don't die out.

Although people still talk about whether having zoos is good or not, there are new ways to learn about wild animals. For example, we can use the VR (虚拟现实) technology. Many zoo experts believe it will be possible to walk through a group of elephants in the Serengeti very soon.

Jill loved to write. She dreamed of being a writer one day. And she knew she had to spend a lot of time practising alone in her room. She wrote in her diary every day, and she wrote at least one story a week. But she was having a lot of trouble with her new story this week.

Jill got up off her bed and walked to her desk.

She liked her story last week, about a boy in a wheelchair. Her mother liked it, too. She said it was the best thing Jill had ever written.

Jill needed some encouragement, so she decided to read the story again. She opened the drawer (抽屉) of the desk and looked through a pile of (一堆) paper. The story wasn't there. So, she looked through the pile again. But it was gone.

Running down the stairs, she found her mother in the living room. "Mum, I've lost it!" she cried. "I've lost my story about the boy in a wheelchair!"

Her mother looked up from her book. "It's not lost." "But I can't find it anywhere."

"I mailed it to Teen Tales magazine," said her mother. "I'm sorry, dear, but it was too good to sit at home in your desk drawer. If you want to be a writer, you have to start letting people see your stories. Please don't be angry."

A smile appeared on Jill's face.

She wasn't angry because she knew her mother was right. And now she felt more than encouraged, imagining her story in Teen Tales magazine.

Dear John,

How is everything going? I'm writing to share with you an activity called Opera Entering Campus in our school.

Best wishes!

Yours,

There are basically three ways to do it. The first is through reading. Go back to your favourite articles and read them once more. Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item. If there are some that you are not sure about, make a guess and you will probably guess right. The second way to recycle is through writing. Look at some of your favourite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your won words. After you have don this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don't worry if you have made mistakes. That's how you learn. The third way to recycle language is by having an imaginary chat with yourself about your favourite articles at home. You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel.

Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.

Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as "the e-waste capital of the world". It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost.

Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.

Luckily, the Chinese government wants to change the situation (情况) . This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.

At this time, a deep voice came, saying, "If a breeze（微风） can cross the desert, so can a river."It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, "That's because a breeze can fly, but I can't." "That's because you stick to what you are. If you're willing to give it up, and let yourself evaporate （蒸发） into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach your destination(目的地）," said the desert in its deep voice.

The little stream had never heard of such a thing. "Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!"She could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before. Wouldn't it be self-destruction（自毁）to give up what she was now ?

"How do I know if this is true?" asked the little stream.

"The breeze can carry the vapor（蒸汽） across the desert and let it leave as rain . The rain will form a river again ," answered the desert ."Will I still be what I am now?" asked the little stream."Yes, and no. Whether you're a river or vapor, your nature never changes. You stick to the fact that you're a river because you don't know your inner nature," answered the desert.

Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze（微风）. which carried her to the next stage of her life. Perhaps you can try asking yourself these questions: What is my inner nature? What is it that I cling （紧抓） to? And what is it that I really want ?
