In his paper, he described his goal （目标） of having a horse ranch someday. He wrote about his 3 in detail and he even drew a diagram （示意图） of a 200-acre （英亩） ranch.He put his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his 4 . Two days later, he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a 5 that read, "See me after class."The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked,"Why did I get an F?"The teacher said,"This is an unrealistic （不切实际的）dream for a young boy like you.

Chickens, cats, dogs, rabbits, and sometimes goats were just some of the animals she cared for. At the age of nine, Abbi went to the Tracy Animal Center to adopt（收养）Sheldon, her cat. In the center, she saw that the animals did not have enough food and they lived in poor conditions.

If more people can give money to the program, we can help more animals. I really hope people are kinder to animals and respect them more." says Abbi. She is also working on"welcome home boxes" for the Tracy Animal Center. These boxes of pet supplies（宠物用品） would go home with everyone adopting a dog or car at the center.The advice she has for kids like her is, "Nothing is impossible.

There is nothing better than having a break from studying. During the summer I mightwork a bit, I will read a lot, and I will definitely try to travel. There are many places in the world to explore （探索）, many beaches to relax on and many sights to see. However, it is difficult to go vacation. There is so much to think about, such as time, cost, transport （交通） etc. That is why this year I will treat myself to a staycation.But what is exactly staycation?As you can probably guess, the word 'staycation' mixes the verb 'stay' and the noun 'vacation'. It means a holiday you spend in your hometown or your home country. If you take staycation, you usually spend a few days in a different part of the country or going to places close to where you live. For example, when I am on my staycation here in the UK, I will visit the southwest area. Although I live here, there are still so many wonderful places I am yet to discover. There is so much of the history, so many museums, great places to find food, beautiful sights and many summer activities!The staycation is popular because it has some good points. Normally, it is cheaper than a vacation as you do not need to stay in hotels, fly or even travel very far. This is great as most of the time people go on holiday with their parents, other family members or friends. Secondly, it is a great way of discovering new places right under your nose! Thirdly, the more people who take staycation in their home country, the more tourism there will be.In this way, local people can earn more money and get more job chances.So next time you think of amazing places you want to visit, start by thinking of what is on your own doorstep. You will be pleasantly surprised!（1）Which of the following can be a staycation?A.People travel to a wild places.B.People work hard to pay for the trip.C.People take their vacation in other countries.D.People spend their vacation in their hometown.（2）What will the writer probably do this summer in the UK?A.Do a part-time job.B.Learn to cook food.C.Discover wonderful places.D.Visit his/her family members.（3）The writer writes the passage to .A.advise people to try a staycation.B.tell people where to take a wonderful vacation.C.explain the differences between vacation and staycation.D.show the fact that the staycation is better than the vacation.信息匹配15.The world is full of great books, just waiting for you to read them. How can you pick one you will really like? Hereare some useful suggestions:What make you happy?If you have a favorite hobby, look for books about it. 1 . You probably enjoy reading a book if you are already interested in its subject.Fact or fiction（虚构）?Some books are fiction books.

Try both fiction and nonfiction books to see which you like better.3 .What were your parents' favorite books when they were at your age? Ask them and give it a read. Then you can talk about what they liked about it and share your thoughts. It is a fun way to get to know your family a little better, and to find a book you will enjoy!Ask an expert （专业人士）.Your local library is a great place to find books and you do not have to search all by yourself. Tell a librarian the names of your favorite books or your interests. Your librarian can help you find your books. 4 .Start a book swap （交换）.Why not get some friends together and swap your favorite books? 5 .
