Dear Mary,
It is early afternoon and I am sitting in a small restaurant close to my work. It is raining and I'm feeling homesick(思乡的). I'm thinking of you and all of my friends in Mexico. I miss everyone. Outside the streets are crowed with people. All of them are wearing coats and carrying umbrellas. Everyone is in a hurry to get to a dry place. Buses and cars are moving up and down the street. Inside it is warm and pleasant. There are two old women at the table next to mine. One of them is wearing a funny hat. They are talking and laughing. A young man is sitting at a small table near the window. He is eating a piece of pie. It looks delicious. You know, the food in New Orleans is very good. I am fine. I am learning a lot in my classes. I like most of my teachers and classmates. I have classes every morning. I work every afternoon and I study every evening. I don't have much free time, but I like my life in New Orleans.
I hope that you are well and happy. How is school? How 1s your English? Can you read my letter? Please write soon. I enjoy your letters with news from home.
Your friend,
Maria

This isn't some boot camp（新兵训练营）．It's the wake-up call that
every teenager in the UK goes through each morning. Sleeping late is their
dream, but they have to get up and go to school early in themorning.
Now,one school finally understands that asking teenagers to amve at
school at 9:00 a.m. is not just unfair but can also hurt both kids and their
studies.
The Monkseaton High School in England recently decided to see whether
there was any diffrence they started their school day one hour later, at 10:00 am instead of'9:00 am.
The results have been surprising. Since the later start, 28 percent fewer
students have been absent,seven percent fewer have been late. Best of all,
students get higher test scores. One stude.nt, Emelye Hood, 13, said, "When
I get more sleep,I can focus(集中精力）more on my lessons.”
In trying the experiment（试验）,the school used studies by Oxford
scientist Russell Foster,a neuroscientist（神经系统学专家）．He says
that teenagers have different sleep cycles（周期）than adults.Adults are
active and ready for the day at 8:00 am, while teenagers aren't fully awake
until 10:00 am.
Ryan Thompson, 13, also welcomes the later start. He says, "Now I get
to sleep and don't rush breakfast. It makes me much happier to go to
school.”
( )2. One school in the UK has realized that it's good for kids to get more
sleep.
( )3. The students can pay more attention to their studies if they get enough sleep.
( )4. The teenagers can get ready for the day earlier than the adults.
( )5.Many teenagers feel happy about the later start because they don't need to go to school in a hurry.

That’s a good way to end a high school football career (生涯), especially if you win, but even though you don’t, it’s 3 to leave at a high point.
I was eight when I first started playing football. My dad 4 football, and he used to practise with me at home – passing, catching, running. We used to practise almost every evening 5 it got too dark. He tried to teach me everything he knew about the 6 . “Just remember: don’t ever 7 .” “Stay in the game. Don’t lose your concentration (专注).” “Go out there and give 110 percent every time.” Well, that was a long time ago, but I still hear his words 8 in my ears.
I had a lot on my mind 9 the game today. I don’t like things to end, I guess, and this was the last game. I was talking to myself and warning myself about what to do and not to do. I didn’t sleep at all 10 , and when the sun came up this morning, I reached the point where 11 just wanted it all to be over, finished, done. But then when the game started, my mind became 12 . I just lived in this game, this moment. I didn’t hear the crowd, I didn’t feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the 13 , and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light 14 me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty feeling.
It’s all over now, and it’s really getting cold here. It’s starting to snow. The sun’s almost gone, and I can 15 see the goal. Now it’s dark and I’m sitting here all alone. Well, I guess it’s time to say good-bye and move on.
