Emma ended up in my homeroom(教室). At lunch, Emma sat at a table alone. I said, “ Hi, my name is Veneta. Do you mind if I sit with you?” Emma didn’t 32, but nodded, never picking her head up or raising her eyes to see me. By the end of the twenty minutes that we sat together, she was actually looking me right in the eye, butthere was still no33on her face.
When the bell rang and it was time to go to our next class, I stood up, told her it was nice to get to talk to her and went on my way. I felt34about walking away, as I had been unable to get her to talk or even smile.My heart was aching for this girl because her35was so clear to me.

The phone rang and my mom answered it. I could hear her mumbling(嘟囔) and then she 38. She walked into the room, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face. I knew instantlywhat had happened.
Three days later, Emma passed away at home, in b ed. She was twelve years old. I remember feeling
numb(麻木的), knowing that she had passed on, but not quite understanding the finality of it all. Over the next couple of weeks, I quickly learned the39lesson I have ever had to learn in life. Not only did I have to learn to40death, mentally, emotionally, but I had to learn to grieve(哀悼).

This past holiday season, I drove with my parents to Boston to visit my cousin. On my way back home, we stopped at a service area for food.
As we stopped there, there was this old lady who was busy cleaning all the tables and chairs as people were leaving, making sure everything was tidy and clean. I just thought of gifting her with five dollars and a chocolate in my pocket. I wrote on a paper napkin (纸巾): “Thank you and Merry Christmas.”
I had wanted to leave it there for her but decided to walk up to her and give her.
She asked me, “Is it a gift? Only then will I take it.”
I nodded, “Yes,” and smiled at her.
“Thank you, young man.” she replied, and I left to buy some foo d from the store inside. On my way back to the car, the woman stopped me.
“I made a lot of cookies and candies on Christmas for people,” she explained. “Would you like to have some?”
A bit taken aback, I replied, “Yes.”
She asked me to wait, and came back carrying a four-inch plate filled with different cookies and chocolates! My first expression was a big smile.
“That’s a lot,” I said, a bit surprised.
She smiled and told me that she made eighty to ninety of these plates every year, to gift
to friends and others.
I had no words or thoughts in my brain. Finally, I asked if I could hug her. We hugged, wishing each other a happy and healthy holiday season. Then, as we parted , I felt as if I had met a new friend with whom I exchanged the gift of a smile and some happiness. I really enjoyed this trip.

Paper-cutting is a very typical art of Chinese handicrafts(手工艺品). It started from the 6th century when women used to put the silver cuttings onto their hair. Later, they were used during festivals to
d ecorat
e gates and windows. After hundreds o
f years’development, now they have become a very popular way of decoration amon
g country people, especially women.
Paper cuttings are not produced by machine, but by hand. The paper-cutting materials are easy to get, low cost, and convenient to make. Main cutting tools are simple: paper and scissors or a cutting knife, but clever and skillful craftspeople are really good at cutting in the theme of life.
It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper, but very difficult to master it with perfection. One must grasp the skills of controlling the knife and do the cutting work carefully without hesitation(犹豫).No mistake can be made during the process, or the work will fail.
Paper-cutting comes from life. The creators use paper-cutting to express their understanding of nature, and their thoughts about life. It is an expression of their inner feelings. When you look at something made in this method ca refully, you will be amazed by the true expressions of its emotion and appearance, or natural plants and animals’lively looks and others such as a married daughter returning to her parents’home, or young people paying a New Year call to their grandparents.
In ancient times, paper-cutting was very popular in the north, because people in north usedwhite paper to make windows. Every Spring Festival they changed new paper and stuck colorful paper-cuttings, which made people feel fresh, bright and lively.
In modern life, paper-cuttings are mainly used as decorations. They decorate walls, windows, door, mirrors, lamps, and lanterns at homes. For example：ona wedding ceremony, red paper cuttings are a traditional and required decoration on the tea set, the dressing table glass, and on
other furniture．A big red paper character 'Xi'(happiness)is a traditional must on
the newlywed's door．Upon the birthday party of a senior, the character
'Shou'represents long life and will add delight to the whole celebration; while a
pattern of chubby(胖乎乎的)children holding fish meansthat every year they
will be rich in wealth．

The expression "a thirst for knowledge" may have another meaning for millions of people who have no way to get clean water. A survey showed about 600 to 700 million people around the world are at risk of disease or even death because their drinking water is not clean.
A researcher Therese Dankovich(Teri) has developed a special book that could turn dirty water into clean, drinkable water. As a chemicaldoctor，she refused to be a bookwormwho spends a great deal of time reading. She used eight years and created a book to change the fate of hundreds of millions of people.
On atrip to Africa in a few years ago, Teri was shocked and saddened to the scene. At the same time, Teriwas shocked and saddened to the situation there, since many children could not drink clean water. She could not imagine it was so difficult for African children to get clean drinking water. In the process of chatting with local people, she was surprised to find thatthemostterriblething for African isnotthepollutionofwater, but they are short of basic sense of drinking clean water.
Coming back from Africa, she has studied for eight years in the lab. After thousands of experiments，she finally invented a new book. This book uses an edible (可食用的)ink and prints the knowledge of safe drinking water in paperback. Such a small book contains 25 pages. The pages contain very small particles of silver. The pages can be used as filters to remove harmful thingsthat can pollute drinking water.Each page can filter an average of 100 liters of drinking water, which can meet the need of a person four years of drinking!She took the paper to South Africa, Kenya, Haiti, India and other countries and tested 25 kinds of water heavily polluted. These books can not only filterwater but also spread knowledge. Each page of the paper are written with warmcluesprompt (提示)language:"The water in your village may contain deadly disease, and each piece of paper in this book is a water filter. You should make sure your drinking water is safe." "If you drink the water that is not clean and feel uncomfortable, remember to go to see the doctor."
Now this kind of book has been supported by an organization. It will help more people drink clean water. 408

A. A tool can make books edible
B. A machine can carry water.

B. the pages contain very small particles of silverand gold.
C. 25pagescan filter an average of 100 liters of d rinking water.
D. the new books can help Africa cut down the pollution.

Cell Phone Madness
When I opened the box at my 12th birthday party, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had really gotten a cell phone!
As soon as I got to my school the next morning I showed off my phone and asked everyone for their number.
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my phone. Luckily I didn't get caught using it.
I was pretty sure that the teacher did notice that I stopped paying attention to her because a week later we took a test and I got Grade D for the first time. To make matters worse, my mom had to sign the test.
It was hard to show my mom the paper. She never expected “D”on my tests. Well, final ly, I showed her and she couldn't bel ieve it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.
Weeks passed and my parents started to dislike the fact that I had a phone. They would say, " We have noticed that you never pay attention to us. It's like you have your own little world now and we don't communicate as much with your phone．"
I acted like they were wrong, but then I started to wonder if it was true that I was spending
too much time on the phone．
A week later I tried going a whole day without a cell phone and it didn't go that badly．I had so much fun because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them．From that day, I had a different point of view towards cell phones．
Phones really take you away from the rest of the world．I'm not saying that phones are bad and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get stuck with your phone all day．My phone took away time from my homework and from my family．It also affected my grades．
I will keep using my phone, but I will have it under better control．377

①
Our school art festival will be held next week in our schoolhall. There will be many activities.First, we plan to have music and danceperformance. Our class will sing and dance the Sound of Music. Then, we will have a drawing competition. Each class will hand in a piece of drawing. The students will choose the best one. Next, we hope the English teachers can sing an English song. We hope you can spend some time practicingit. At last, the art fest ival will be ended with the headmaster’s speech.
We believe that this art festival will be unforgettable.
②Manypeople in my community pay little attention to protecting our environment, so pollution is more and more serious. Some people waste water, food, and other things.
As a student, I always remember these three words: reduce, reuse, recycle. For example,I turn off the lights when I leave the room and I turn off the tap when I brush my teeth. I don’t use paper cups in my daily life. We often collect pl astic bottles in our classroom. What’s more, I always take a bus to school instead of asking my parents to drive me.
I feel happy to do these things, because I believe if everyone of us does a little, we will make a difference to our environment.
