Anne goes to her art class on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. She always　 41 those days when she can do 　42 things all afternoon. 　43 　Anne likes best is the good feeling she gets when she has finished working on a piece of art. And then when she takes it home to 　44 her parents, she feels so proud of what she has made.

　　　 On Wednesday afternoons, Anne writes articles for the 　45　 newspaper. When she first moved to her school, she wrote an article about how it 　46 to be a new student in a new school. Her 　47 article in the newspaper was about a(n) 　48 from her school who had just finished writing a book.

　　　 Anne　 49 　the teacher what it feels like to be a published author. And then she 　50 what she found out with the rest of the school.

　　 Another time she wrote an article about 　51　 she thought the school should have two short 　52 a day instead of a long one. Lots of her friends thought that this would be a good idea too. Many teachers also agreed with Anne’s 　 53 .

　　　 Would you believe the 　 54 of the school asked everyone to have a vote(投票)about Anne’s suggestion? The headmaster always thinks that students should help decide how the school should be 　55 　.

　　　 During the vote, each person in the school voted. At last, the school decided that two short breaks would be 　56　 one long break. And all of that 57　 because Anne wrote about her 　58 in the school newspaper.

　　　 On the day the newspaper 　59 each month, the first thing Anne does is to　 check where her article is in the newspaper. And each time at the beginning of her article are the words: 60　 Anne Jefferson.

As 　18 turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national 　19 for young people in the U.K. My wife and I have two children, and I’d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad 　20 me.

　　Some countries,such as Japan,have a large number of earth quakes.Earthquakes happen very 　1　and violently(强烈地).During an earthquake,there is often a great 　2　first.Then the earth 　3　terribly,many houses 　4　,railway tracks break and trains run 　5 lines,a great many factories are 　6　,thousands of deaths are caused,and many more lose homes… 　7　the great damage and deaths caused by the earthquake 　8　,other disasters such as fires often 　9　,more buildings destroyed and more 　10　caused.

　　It is well known of the 　11　of a possible earthquake,and for centuries man has been making researches(研究) on earthquakes.More than 2000 years ago, 　12　,a Chinese scientist named Zhang Heng 　13 a machine which could detect(发觉) earthquakes,and this machine is still 　14　by scientists today to detect and measure the 　15　of earthquakes.Now we know much more about earthquakes and 　16　they happen,but we still 　17　tell exactly when and where an earthquake will happen, 　18 cannot stop it from happening.So earthquakes are 　19　the worst disasters(灾难)in the world.

　　No one can stop 　20　earthquakes.However,scientists can 　21　stop earthquakes destroying whole cities and causing too many deaths.In those 　22　where earthquakes often happen,they 　23　mountain temperatures and take 　24　from the air and if anything starts to happen ,they warn governments to be prepared for 　25　disasters so that emergency(紧急) plans are put into action to lessen(减少) the disaster,probably saving many lives.
