Is “Survival Holidays”a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more 60 time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being 61 with activities that are controlled by adults, which causes many problems. They don’t know 62 to do when they are in danger.

Long long ago, a young man was standing in the middle of the town showing that he had the most beautiful heart in the world. A large crowd got together, and they all praised his heart for it was perfect. Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why? Your heart is not as beautiful as mine.” The old man’s heart was full of scar(伤疤). Some pieces of his heart were removed and some pieces from other people were put in, but they didn’t fit quite right. So there were several jagged(锯齿状的) edges. In fact, there were still some holes in his heart where the pieces were missing.
The young man laughed, “Comparing yours with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess.”“Yes,” said the old man. “But, every scar shows that I took out a piece of my heart and gave it to a person, and often he gave me a piece of his heart in return.”“Why do you have some jagged edges in your heart?” asked the young man. “Because the shapes of the pieces weren’t the same.”“Then the holes?”“Sometimes I gave pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t given back a piece of his, s o…but I don’t care.”“How come?”“They remind me of the love we shared.”
The young man was deeply moved. He walked up to the old man, took a piece of his heart out and gave it to the old man. The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound(伤口) in the young man’s heart. It fitted, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect any more but more beautiful than ever. How sad it must be to go through life with a whole untouched heart!

When you cough or sneeze(打喷嚏), please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say, “Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students. It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do this. In fact, I noticed adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(细菌) along to everything and everyone they touch. In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out. We say “God bless you”when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit.” That means “Good health to you.” Both expressions are said—just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourages them to put advice to use more often.
( )73. The writer of this article must be _________.
A. a reporter
B. a teacher
C. a doctor
D. an officer
( )74. What does the underlined word “this” mean?
A. Don’t cough or sneeze in front of people.
B. Don’t stand beside someone who coughs or sneezes.
C. Many people cough or sneeze on the underground train.
D. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and say sorry.
( )75. After coughing or sneezing on their hand, students are advised to _________.
A. say “God bless you” immediately
B. wash their hands as soon as possible
C. go to see a doctor as soon as possible
D. go home and have a good rest
( )76. According to the article, the writer would like the kids _________.
A. to be polite to adults
B. to be in better health
C. to have good manners
D. to do well in exams
D
Some unhappy things often happen before our eyes. We may feel that the life is exhausting, the world sometimes seems dark to us, the studies sometimes are not successful. OK, do remember, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher’s face when you do a good job?
One day it is fine, just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel every sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don't you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better ,farmer will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”
Attitude decides everything. With a positive attitude, life is easy and pleasant.

Dear Editor,
I’m a student in Class3, Grade 9. In our English class we had a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad.
More and more young students choose to study abroad because of lots of advantages. We know, studying abroad is a good chance to learn foreign l anguages. And it can cultivate students’ ability to live independently. Also, it can broaden students’ minds, for example, beautiful scenery, different culture and life experience. They learn advanced knowledge and technology which makes them have more choices for future career.
Every coin has two sides. There are a number of disadvantages here. The students who study abroad should face some psychological problems, e.g. loneliness and homesickness. Higher expense is another problem. It needs lots of money for tuition, rent and living goods. And the gap of language and culture may cause something misunderstanding and discriminated.
For my opinion, studying abroad should be encouraged if they have enough money. It is the treasure for their life.。
