FUN TIME

Are you tired of the puzzles you usually do? Sudoku is a new choice. Sudoku consists of the Japanese characters Su (meaning “number”) and Doku (meaning “single”), but it was not invented in Japan. It was created by Howard Garnes in 1979. The puzzle was first introduced into Japan by Nikoli Puzzle Company in 1984. In 1986, Kaji Maki, the president of Nikoli made the rules strict and clear. Soon in the same year Sudoku became popular in Japan. In November 2004, The Times, a British newspaper, first printed it in the newspaper. It became an international hit in 2005. Now Sudoku becomes very popular all over the world.

The rule of the puzzle is to fill in the grids (格子) so that every row, every line and every 3×3 box has the numbers 1 to 9. Here is a Sudoku. Please relax and enjoy. It’s fun!

Your Junior 3 year will finish soon. Do you want to say something about your junior school life? What were the rewards (收获) of the four y   86   ? Teens readers have their stories to share.

Lin Yijian, 14, Xiamen, Fujian

I got through a hard time in Junior 2 when my grades s   87    dropped a lot. I faced great pressure. In the following summer vacation, I worked really hard by studying from 7:30 am to 9:30 pm every day. It was crazy, but when I got back to the front seat of the class, I felt everything had been worthwhile (值得的).

Zhang Wanying, 15, Dalian, Liaoning

  In 2009 I had a trip to the US with some students and teachers. When we a   88    there, the other students and I didn’t want to eat the local food. The teachers were w   89    and tried to make us eat. When we finally finished the meal, the guide scolded (责备) us, saying that the world now sees how spoiled (被宠坏的) Chinese kids are. I felt really sorry.

Luo Shu’er, 14, Hangzhou, Zhejiang

    I lived in a dorm (寝室) during junior school. It was a great challenge since I had never left my parents before that. I had to take care of e   90    myself. I learned to tidy my bed and get along with roommates. I also learned to make a timetable to arrange my time. I’ve done a good job and I feel p   91   .

Yin Donghui, 13, Beijing

  I won first place in the rope skipping (跳绳) competition at our school’s sports meeting my first year in junior school. The sports meeting is a big thing at our school. To prepare for it I practiced h   92    and skipped rope 500 times every day. Finally I skipped over 210 times in one minute. You don’t know how excited I was then!
