It was a summer afternoon in the countryside.Wan Bo,a university student,was painting while his classmate Tang Qi was making a wooden box by the river.A little boy riding on a rocking horse caught their eye by chance.It brought them back to their childhood,warm and happy.

“Why not try to make one by ourselves?”said Wan Bo.“You are good at making things and I am interested in painting.”

“Actions speak louder than words,” Tang Qi said.Then,the two young men began to collect some information about it.During those days,watching videos about carving(雕刻) and shaping wood into horse shapes on the Internet became an important part of their life.

Several months later,a wooden rocking horse appeared.They felt so excited that they put the picture of it on the Internet right away.To their surprise,it attracted lots of people's attention and some even hoped to order one.

The two young men thought it might be a good chance.They sent some forms to the customers to make a survey.According to the result,they made each customer a special rocking horse.These horses were quite different from those produced in other factories,and they soon became popular among the customers.

In the first year of their new hobby,Wan and Tang made thirteen rocking horses.Sometimes,they also repaired rocking horses for people.They made the old ones look new again.Wan and Tang helped those people bring back many happy memories.

Their hobby has now become a successful and busy business.

Do you have any interests in your childhood? In my seventh grade, I developed a/an _____ in solving a Rubik’s Cube. I started by asking my brother to teach me and he asked me to solve a blue cross on a cube by myself.

I spent around 20 minutes mixing the cube and finally got that little blue cross on the top. ______, I jumped up from the chair and raced into my brother’s bedroom. After handing the cube to him, to my surprise, he mixed the perfect blue cross up. Making my work completely disappear.

“Do it again,” he ______ it back to me.

“No, I won’t.” I was angry stepping out of his room.

A few weeks later, my brother wasn’t at home. “I’m going to _____ how to do this without him!” I promised myself. I spent the rest of my night watching a guy on YouTube teach me to solve the first few steps. I mastered those steps.

The next day, I spent the whole school day secretly______ what I had learned the night before. When I made my way to my music class, I tried to find some spare time taking out the cube again and solving what I knew. Noah, my classmate, and also one of my best friends later, laughed at me.

“Do you know how?” I sneered(讥笑).

“Actually yeah, let me see it. My fastest solving ______ is 15 seconds,” he noted as he began solving the cube. It took him about 25 seconds to finish it.

“Okay, that was cool.” I started solving the cube again. I didn’t know at that time this boy would be my inspiration for cube solving. He taught me each step, each day, and when I ______, he’d remind(提醒) me how to do it. He was the best friend I’d ever had.

Sadly he’s no longer with us now, but the memories of solving cubes together will be there forever. It was this boy who helped me with cube solving. It takes me around a minute to solve a Rubik’s Cube. I am ______ that I can do something not many people can. Thank you, Noah

We use teeth to eat and we need teeth to talk. But do you really know them? Let’s meet the “cool tools” in your mouth and learn how to protect them.

1., unlike your brain or heart. The first tooth usually comes out when a baby is 6 to 12 months old. Then more and more teeth begin to grow. 2.. We call them baby teeth, and there are 20 of them. Baby teeth cannot stay with us forever. Baby teeth will start to fall one by one, when you are 6 years old. 3.. You have to suffer the pain of growing adult teeth 12-13years old. An adult usually has 28-32teeth. Why pain?

A tooth with a hole is a decayed tooth(蛀牙). 4., you’ll get one. Then germs(细菌)will build up and eat away your teeth. So, try to clean your teeth after you eat candy or just eat less.

In America, there is a lovely story for children. It is said that there are fairies (精灵)for everyone’s baby teeth. 5., he can put it under his pillow before sleeping. Then when he wakes up in the morning, he always finds money or a small present from the tooth fairy instead of his tooth in its place.
