10．Once President Roosevelt's house was broken into and lots of things were stolen．Hearing this.one ——青夏教育精英家教网—

10．Once President Roosevelt's house was broken into and lots of things were stolen．Hearing this，one of Roosevelt's friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much．President Roosevelt wrote back，saying："Dear friend，thank you for your letter to comfort me．I think I should thank God．This is because of the following three reasons：firstly，the thief only stole thingsfrom me but did not hurt me at all； secondly，the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things； thirdly，most luckily for me，it was the man rather than me who became a thief．"
Being grateful is an important philosophy（哲学）of life．We should learn how to face failure bravely and try to deal with it．We shouldn't complain about our life and become frustrated（受挫） and disappointed since then．If you are grateful to life，it will bring you shining sunlight．If you always complain about everything，you may own nothing in the end．
I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky．Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail．We can also get warmth when we are unlucky．This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face，and receive great encouragement to move on．We should treat our frustration and misfortune（不幸） in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did．Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort，not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q．Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope．
If each of us has an attitude（态度） of being grateful，we'll be able to get rid of difficulties．Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life．
Be greatful to life

9．I knew little about English when I first came to America．So I （53）went（go） to a language school every day except Sunday （54）to learn（learn） English．One day during the break，（55）having（have） a question about something that I didn't understand，so I asked Alice，one of my classes．When I thanked her for it，she said，"You are welcome，it （56）is（be） a piece of cake．"I thought to myself，America is really a"money"country，where everything （57）is done（do） for pay．So I said to her，"I don't have a piece of cake with me today．What about something else？"She looked at me with a big smile and said，"What I mean is no problem．It is just a small matter．"From then on，I learnt that"a piece of cake"（58）means（mean） something that is very easy．

8．We are now living in the modern society．Most of the energy we use for heating，lighting，transportation and manufacturing （制造业） comes from fossil （化石） fuels．These are carbon-based fuels from oil，coal and natural gas．When we burn these fuels we release heat which （63）provides the energy．
There are three main disadvantages to using these fuels．Firstly，they are causing climate problems because of the （64）Greenhouse Effect．When we burn fossil fuels they produce carbon dioxide which causes global warming．Secondly，when we have used up all our coal，oil and natural gas，we will have （65）nothing left to burn．Thirdly，they are not very efficient．The internal combustion engine （内燃机） that we use in most cars，trucks and buses，for example，is only about 14% efficient．
Scientists are working on another fuel-hydrogen．There are a couple of advantages to using hydrogen as a fuel．Firstly，because two-thirds of the （66）earth's surface is water and water is made of hydrogen and oxygen．There is an almost unlimited supply of hydrogen．Secondly，burning hydrogen does not cause global warming．Thirdly，it is much more efficient than carbon-based fuels．
Unfortunately there are problems with hydrogen at the present time：there is the problem of separating （分离） it from water （67）cheaply，and there is the difficulty of storing it．It can be stored under pressure but high pressure tanks are far from safe．It can also be stored as a liquid but only at extremely low temperatures．It seems likely，therefore，that there will have to be a completely new technology before hydrogen replaces fossil fuels．（68）Solving these problems is an urgent （急迫的） matter．Although China，India and Australia have huge amounts of cheap coal，and there are still （69）large oil and gas reserves（储藏量） elsewhere，the effects on the planet's climate will be bad if they are used．

7．I had to make a big decision．Five years ago，I was working for a small engineering company．However，things were not going very well for the company and it was losing money．One day，the boss told us that the company was  （58）E business．We were all unemployed．
That lunch time we went to the pub （59）A．We were all very sad．Well，of course，we talked about the problem．Then the landlord of the pub heard the news．He said，"Why don't you buy the company？"At first we all laughed，but then we started to discuss it  （60）D．We knew the problems．The company had lost a lot of customers because it hadn't developed new products，but finally we decided to go for it．
So we bought the company．The first few years were very （61）B．But we worked hard and we had a bit of luck．We began to improve three years ago．Since then we have done pretty well．Last year we took on（招聘）four new people．And so far we haste taken on another ten．
A．as usual   B．difficult   C．well   D．properly   E．out of．

6．It is good news that more and more people choose the bicycle as the means of transportation in China because there is too much traffic in the busy streets．
Xu Shima was 16in 1980and had to learn a trade（买卖）．He c（71）hose bicycle repair．Over the next twenty years，it proved to be a wise d（72）ecision．At that time，China was known a（73）s the"Kingdom of Bicycles"and was home to the world's largest number of people who ride bicycles．In the 1990s，Xu's business was the most s（74）ucessful．
But in 2000，Xu had to g（75）ive up his trade because more and more people began to use electric bicycles and cars．He even made a living by s（76）selling fruits and working as a factory security guard （保安）．He showed n（77）no interest in returning to bicycle repair．
Yet the tide has again turned，and in 2009Xu returned to his trade and now repairs a lot of bicycles a day．Xu is o（78）ne of 155bike mechanics （修理工） at the Hangzhou Public Bicycle Transportation Development Co and fixes the company's n（79）early 70，000public bicycles in the city．
"I'm glad cycling is p（80）opular again，"says Xu．
Inspired by the public bicycle system in Paris，Hangzhou government set up its own project in May 2008，hoping to ease the city's increasing traffic jams in this way．

5．In the past，man did not have to think about the protection of his environment．There were not many people on earth，and natural resources seemed to be unlimited．
Today，things are different．The world has become too crowded．We are using up our natural resources too quickly，and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals．If we continue like this，human life on earth will not survive．
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea，there will soon be none left．Yet，with modern fishing methods（方法），more and more fish are caught．We know that if too many trees are cut down，forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land．Yet，we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees．
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories，we will die．However，in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea，and there are few laws to stop this．
We know，too，that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate，in a few years，there will not be enough food．
What can we do to solve these problems？
If we eat more vegetables and less meat，we will easily get more food．Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept．
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control．
Finally，if we educate people to think about the problems，we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future．

The importance of （46）protecting the environment

（52）Result	We human beings will not survive on the earth．

4．Many children use the Internet to get useful knowledge and information，and to relax in their free time．But some of them are not using in a good way．Here are some rules to make sure you are safe and have fun on the Internet．
Make rules for Internet use with your parents．For example，when you can go online，for how long and what activities you can go online．

3．To write a great news story，you have to make sure it is correct，relevant （相关的） and fresh．
For a start，all the information in a story must be correct．Not only the spelling and grammar，but also the facts．
Any mistakes that appear （出现） in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble．
For example，if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space，it would be wrong．He wasn't the first．The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake．
A news story is not only correct，but also relevant to its readers．People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them．That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools．It is also why newspapers in Beijing don't talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong．
Finally，news must always be fresh．When you pick up your evening newspaper，you want to read about news that happens that day．You don't want to read about news from last week!
So，now you know what makes a good news story．Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news．you can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter．
