Some years
ago,
Chinese
middle school students
would show their new schoolbags, new clothes or new pens to
their classmates when the new term started.
Today, however, all 16 . If you still come back to
school 17 only these things, you are falling out-of-date (过时的). Students in
big cities like to bring the latest high-tech things to school, and feel 18
to show off these things to 19 . Mobile phones, MP3 players, CD players,
electronic dictionaries...the list is endless.
Youngsters think that, living in the 21st century, they
must keep up with the times. They don't want to fall 20 . Besides, they think
that they need keep in touch with their classmates, so they need mobile phones.
They also like to 21 the pop music, so they need CD players. They
explained that, 22 like electronic dictionaries, these could be 23 in their study, too. They think
that their parents should understand
24 they want these
things.
Foreign students will also bring some latest high-tech
things when they 25 to school at the beginning of a new term. However, they
often use money which they earned by themselves during the holiday to buy these
high-tech things that they want.

Many people like diving in water because they can explore
the underwater world. But there is 26 kind of diving. Some people
dive in the sky. This is 27
a
very exciting sport. A skydiver goes high up in the air on
a plane. Then he jumps off the plane and 28 in the air with the help of a parachute. A
parachute is 29 a
huge umbrella. It is 30 the back of the skydiver. 31 the skydiver reaches a
certain height, he will pull a string and the parachute will open 32 in seconds and carry him slowly
down to the ground. Skydivers like 33 a
lot of strange activities in the air. After jumping off the plane one after
another, they will try to stay in the air and hold each other's hands. They can
form different shapes.
Is it safe to do skydiving?Yes, 34
we receive proper training. But sometimes, accidents do happen. In Canada, two
skydivers were killed in 1991. When they jumped off the plane, their parachutes
got tied up with each other and could not open out. 35 skydivers crashed down and died.
