Today is Sunday. All of us go to school early. Our teachers are going to take us to Blue Sky Park. The park is near our school. We can go to the park on foot.
Blue Sky Park is very beautiful. There are many trees, a football field, a big playground and a small lake in it. It’s a sunny day today, but there are not many people in the park. Li Lei is sitting under the tree. Han Mei and Lu Lu are playing on the playground. A bird in the tree is watching them. Look at me. I am playing football with other boys. How happy we are! Where are Miss Fang and Mr. Wu? They are boating on the lake. All of us have a good time in the park. We want to visit it again.
【小题1】It’s        today.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present” Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

A. be afraid of difficulties

B. If we don’t give up, there is always hope

D. Although you try, nothing will change.

3.The best way to keep love is to ___________.

A. say it’s impossible        B. give it
