I can work at home all the rest of the year. Last year I went 4        to the mountains. 5       there was beautiful,but it is too cold this time of year. And it's really 6        far to go for a short holiday. I decide 7        this isn't a good time to 8        the mountains. But I 9        to go somewhere else.

Perhaps this would be a good chance to go to the beach (海滩) .I like to go for walks 10        the seashore 11        the warm sunshine and watch the water. It's only eight miles and I could get there 12        about two hours. After thinking it 13       ,I am sure that this is a 14       time for the seashore than 15       .

 Take on Setbacks Top student Lin Yijian had a problem recently. The 14-year-old1      Xiamen used 2        marks of over110 points (out of120 possible points) on his math tests. But during last semester's final exams,his math score was only90 points.

It was a shock (打击) ."I didn't know 3        happened," said Lin,who kept 4        nervous and frustrated (沮丧的) 5       math during the following month.

Like Lin,many of us have setbacks (挫折) in life. What would you do to deal 6        these setbacks? Would you just let them be and7       

Lin chose to face his problem. His parents and teacher also gave him8      . After some 9        work he now gets marks between100 and110 points on his math tests. Although he still isn't at his original (原来的) level,Lin10 panic anymore.

uDon't be scared 11        setbacks," he said. "You will beat (打败) it."

Feeling worried,Chen decided to do something. She did situps 14        half an hour every day after school. Now,after a month,she can do 30 situps a minute.

"I finally found what made me slow through continuous (持续的) practice and then improved little 15        little," said Chen. "I believe next month I will be able to do40!"
