10．Origami （日式手折纸） is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding，which started in the 17th century．It has d（81）evelopedinto a modern art form since then．The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of paper into various things t（82）hroughfolding techniques．In general，origami begins with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints．Many people enjoy making origami flowers，animals，or toys．For all of these things，there are a few kinds of folds that you need to use．For example，sometimes you need to fold the paper in h（83）alf．Another common way is to fold the paper from corner to corner，or you may need to fold the tips of each corner．If you follow the directions carefully，you can create a beautiful．paper flower，animal，or toy．But origami is much more than folding paper．It is a reflection （反映） of nature and Japanese life．That is why the most popular origami shapes are things like animals．Birds，fish，flowers，and stars are all popular shapes．The best known origami m（84）odelis probably the Japanese paper crane（纸鹤）．The crane is auspicious（吉祥的）in the Japanese culture．Legend （传说） says that anyone who folds one thousand paper cranes will have their heart's desire come true．The origami crane has become a symbol of peace because of this legend．
Origami is also good for your mind．It is a peaceful activity that can relax the mind and body．People who do origami like the activity as much as the art．They like it because origami demands a lot of attention．When people think hard about c（85）reatingsomething，they forget about their problems．This allows them to calm down．Origami is also good for teaching children．Origami has many steps．Children must follow these steps c（86）arefully．They may learn something about maths．For example，origami has squares，rectangles（长方形），and triangles （三角形）．These shapes are important in maths．Origami helps children get f（87）amiliarwith these shapes．
Maybe you can try to do origami yourself You only need some paper and a book of instructions．You can also find instructions for folding origami shapes on the Internet．

9．How to Make a Weather Forecast
You don't have to be a weatherman to forecast weather．If you notice the animals，the world around you and the sky，you can predict weather on your own and with good accuracy．
Instructions
•Listen to birds or the sound of your ax （斧子）．If the sound is sharp，stormy weather is moving nearer．If the sound dissipates （散去），a high-pressure system and nice weather is on the （81）way．
•Examine the moon or sun，but do not look at the sun （82）directly or it will cause serious eye damage．If you see a halo （光环） around the sun or moon，then warm weather follows．A bright halo means rain or snow in the forest．
•View the （83）smoke of the campfire to see if it rises．If it does，expect a high-pressure system and nice weather．But if it stays low，it shows low-lying dense （密集的） air，which usually means a storm is coming．
•Feel the direction of the wind．A wind blowing from the east show that a storm is likely to happen．A wind from the west means a （84）sunny day．
•（85）Observe the sky and remember the old rhyme （童谣）：Red sky in the morning，when looking east，sailors take warning．Red sky at night，when looking at the sunset，means sailor's delight．
•Monitor the clouds．The higher the clouds are，the better the weather．If the clouds combine or you see an overlapping （重叠） of increasing clouds，and the sky turns into a milky （86）colour-a storm is about to come．
•Look at your shoes as you walk through the grass in the morning．If the grass is wet with dew （露珠），then you can expect dry weather．But if the grass is dry，then it will be （87）wise of you to take your umbrella．

8．Now，it may be difficult to predict the future，but many people believe that we will live on Mars by the year 2100．Our own planet，Earth，is becoming more and more crowed and polluted．Well，what problems will we need to solve before we prepare to go to Mars？
First of all，transport should be much better．At present，humans need to spend months going to Mars by spaceship．However，by 2100，spaceship can travel at half the speed of light．It might take us two or three days to get there!
Secondly，humans need food，water and air to live．Scientists should develop plants that can be grown on Mars．These plants will produce the food，water and air that we need．However，there is no answer for all the problems now．
There is also a problem for us to live on Mars．Mars attracts us much less than the Earth does．This will be dangerous because we could easily jump too high and fly slowly away into space there．We will have to wear special shoes to make ourselves heavier．
In some ways，life on Mars may not be better than that on the earth today．Food will not be the same-meals will probably be in the form of pills an will not be as delicious as they are today．Also，space travel will probably make many people feel very uncomfortable．

I noticed Billy went there with （74）a bowl of water in both his hands．There was a baby deer（鹿）1ying （75）on the ground．It was dying of thirst． Billy walked close to it and put down the bowl in f （76）rontof it．It lifted its head slowly and tried its best to drink （77）the water．I understood what was going （78）on．The week before，I told him not to waste water．He always kept （79）my words in his mind．Now when he saw me standing nearby，he said with tears （泪）in his eyes，"I'm not wasting （80）water，mum．""No，you aren't．"I said．Tears rolled down my face．
