（一）
There was an honest and happy little man c 1 Hans. He lived alone in a very small house, but he had a beautiful garden. Every day he worked there. Hans also had many friends, but the miller(磨坊主) was the most devoted one.
The miller n 2 went past Hans’s garden without picking some flowers or fruit from the trees. He thought real friends must s 3 everything. Little Hans was pleased that he had a friend with such good ideas. Sometimes, however, Hans’s other friends thought it s 4 that the rich miller never gave little Hans anything in return. Hans never minded that. He liked to listen to the miller talk about devoted friendship. Except the winter, Hans was very happy, because when the winter came and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he was often cold and h 5 . He was very lonely because the miller never came to see him t 6 .
The miller thought that when people were unhappy, they should be left alone and not have to talk to v 7 . So he decided to wait till the spring came, and then Hans would be able to give him lots of flowers, and t 8 would make Hans so happy. The miller’s wife quite agreed with him. But the miller’s youngest son w9
why his father didn’t ask Hans to come to their home. The boy was going to give Hans half of his food.
The miller thought it was silly of his son to think so. He was afraid that Hans might feel green if he saw their comfortable life. It also w 10 him that Hans might ask for some flour. The miller believed flour was one thing, and friendship was another.

Some people have a very good memory(记忆) and can easily learn quite long poems(诗) by heart. O 1 have poor memory and can only remember things when they have said again and a 2 .
The famous English writer, Charles Dickens, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the n 3 of every shop on both sides of the street. Many great men of the world have a w 4 memory.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by r 5 what he hears when he is a small child. Some children live with their parents in foreign countries and they seem to l 6 two languages as easily as one. In school it is not so e 7 to learn a foreign language because students have little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects too. A man’s mind is quite like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we f 8 , hear, smell and taste. When we take real photos with
cameras, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to s 9 to our friends. In the s10 way there is much work to be done before we can ke ep a picture forever in our
mind.
Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

“It’s a c_5__!” he thought. “I’ll stop it. Perhaps the driver will let me ride with him.”
Toad s__6_ in the middle of the road and held up an arm.
The car stopped.
The driver shouted, “What’s the p_7__?”

“Oh, what shall I do?” he thought. “I wonder if the driver wi ll send for the
p_9__.”
“What is it you want, wash woman?” the driver called.
Toad thought, “I’m s_10_. He doesn’t know who I am.”

Soon, the girl began to paint using her o 6 mouth. She and my father became good f 7 . But my dad fell ill at that time and he had to stay at home. Two months l 8 , my dad went back to the children’s hospital. When he went into the hospital, the girl ran to him and hugged him tightly. She gave my dad a picture and said, “I drew this picture with my hands. Thank you for h 9 me.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story. He would say, ”S 10 love is more powerful than doctors.”

Four ways to have a good school life
Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and be sure you do not waste this chance to learn?
Be active at school
Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Take interest in school life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Put up your hands quickly in class. Go around the school with a big smile. If you are not working, you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.
Keep fit
If you don’t eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and don’t have enough sleep, you will feel sleepy in class. Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong.
Face the problem
Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very
difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish the race if you rest all the time. Everyone fails some exams, loses some matches and has bad days. Don’t make small problems very big and important. Don’t forget to ask for help. You are young, and no one thinks you must do everything quite well!
Spend the weekends
Don’t waste time lying in bed on Saturday or Sunday morning. Go and play sports, get together with friends in the park to relax, learn to play the piano, or help someone with problems. If you don’t want to go out, there are also a lot of things to do. You may read a book, practise English or help Mum with housework.
Follow our advice,and have a happy school life!

It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone(独自) all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with other people(和---保持联系). It’s easier to make friends when you have the same interests.
Don’t be afraid to show yourself. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will find that they are very interesting if you show yourself clearly and freely.
Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. That way, they will find it easier to talk to you. If don’t, people may think you are not interested in them and may stop talking to you.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about ‘me,
me, me’. Ask lots of questions. Show interest in their answers.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like — not just with those who are easy to meet. Be kind to a lot of people. If so, you will have a bigger group of people to choose(选择) from and have more chances(机会) to make friends.

I come from Hainan Island. It is one of the five special economic zones in China. Now let me tell you something about this beautiful island.
Hainan Island, the second largest island of China, is in the south of China. It is famous for its beautiful scenery and warm climate. There is not much pollution. Every year a lot of visitors come to visit the island.
I love all the seasons of my hometown. In spring, people can enjoy quite a lot of sunshine. The sunshine also makes the grass green and helps the plants grow. On warm and sunny days, people like going hiking or riding bicycles in the open air to relax themselves.
In summer, the weather is hot and there is strong sunshine, so almost all the local people like going to the beaches and swimming in the sea. Most people just have the chance to swim in the swimming pool, but swimming in the sea is very different and interesting. I am not a good swimmer, but I like swimming very much.
In autumn, the leaves turn yellow and begin to fall down with the cool wind. I like walking alone in the leaves, listening to the sound of them. It rains quite a lot. I like the golden autumn best.
In winter , many other parts of China are very cold, but in my hometown it is still war m, so winter here is a paradise for the young and the old.
Welcome to visit my lovely hometown, Hainan Island.

When people travel abroad(国外), they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is a homestay.
I am living with an old English couple, in the west of London. They have a clean four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.
There are some shopping centres and a restaurant next to the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about 30 minutes to take an underground to the centre of London.
I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people are friendly and ready to help. If you want to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about their culture and customs.
