10．A city without cars would be very strange，right？But Venice is such a city．
Venice is in the northeast of Italy．It wasn't built on land，like Beijing or Shanghai，but on more than 110islands．Seawater is everywhere around the city．
Even so，travel isn't difficult．The waterways have always been the best way to get around．There are 117waterways and more than 400bridges that can guide you where you want to go．People in Venice move from place to place by boat．
Water makes the city special，but it is also a big problem．Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences．One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge，and there's nothing special．But when they come back to the bridge an hour later，it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes．
Once，people used too much underground water．This made the city get lower little by little．Now the city has gone down by 23centimeters．Another problem is the rising seawater．The temperature has risen over the years．This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean （北冰洋） melt（融化）．Every year，high waters hit the city in autumn and winter．When a lot of water comes，more than half of the city is underwater．
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower．The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project，which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water．Anyway，this project is helping solve the problem．

8．When I was in the second grade，my teacher gave all her students some seeds（种子）．She told us to watch the magic of the seeds once we planted them．Excitedly，I put a few seeds in my pot．I watered them for a few days and purple flowers came out．
In class，I reported back to my teacher that the magic was the purple flowers．My classmates reported back with the red，white or yellow ones．I was wondering why we didn't have green flowers．When the bell rang，we drew a conclusion"a fiower garden is beautiful"，and this was my first gardening experience．
Years later，one day，when we drone by Naperville downtown in a summer．Mom pointed out a big land．"Look，this is the community garden land．"she told me．"What is a community garden land？"I asked．"When people live in apartments or town homes，they don't have much land．People pay a little money to rent（租）a piece of land from the city．They can grow anything．""Why don't we rent one？"I curiously asked．"We don't need to．We have a house，so we have a small piece of land．"
A few years ago，an older couple moved in next door．They gave us some tomatoes from their garden．They grew the best tomatoes I had ever tasted．I asked my mom to buy some tomatoes just like our neighbors'．Mon said it was impossible to buy those tomatoes from the supermarket．
So，last year，I decided to try．I had my dad dig out a small land in the back yard of our house，put it some peat moss（泥炭藓）and mushroom compost（蘑菇肥）．For the start，I only planted some tomatoes and cucumbers．Day by day，I looked after my garden and took out weeds（杂草）．I was surprised to see that cucumbers actually grow on the vine，and my tomatoes had a special kind of earthly smell．
At the same time，I found myself suddenly having an interest in weather．I always wished rain to water my little garden．My brother Alex teased me．"You are an old farmer now．"
One day，I found some tomatoes gone in one plant．I was a little sad．Who dared to steal my tomatoes？It was a few rabbits．When I was about to drive them away，my dad stopped me and said，"Alice，the rabbits are thirsty．Let them eat as much as they want．Sharing your food is a good thing．"
Later on，I found people picking a few tomatoes in my little garden and eating them with a satisfying smile．I never said a word．Instead，I felt joy in my heart．When harvest time came，I picked so many fresh cucumbers and delicious tomatoes．
In America，people grow gardens everywhere．The air is always fresh and clean because of many trees，different plants and beautiful flowers．People there learn to love our earch，and love hearing the expression"go hug a tree"．Gardening needs lots of hard work and patience，but mother earth rewards us a lot．

7．Each summer，you hear news that some sports players are sent to hospitals because it is too hot．Our bodies can't be outside in the sun for a long time．So in hot summers，be careful about playing sports outside．
Firstly，to play sports safely in hot weather，you must drink water．Sports drinks are great for athletes，but they have so much sugar that they'll dehydrate（使脱水）you more．However，drinking a few bottles of sports drinks will be good for you．
Secondly，be sure to take enough breaks to let your body rest．If your coach doesn't let you take enough breaks in the heat，don't wait until you feel uncomfortable．Just be honest with your coach when you need breaks．
Thirdly，when you have a break，don't sit in the sun．With the sun beating down on you，you'll only heat up and sweat（冒汗）more．Take a seat under a tree，or even better，go indoors for a little while．Cooling yourself down can help you stay active longer．
Fourthly，remember that the earlier in the day you start your exercise，the cooler it will be．If you can start practice before the sun comes up，you have a few good hours to practise in the cool hours of the morning．Also，the earlier you practise，the earlier you can finish the exercise．If you need more practice time，come back to the field later in the evening，when the sun is setting．
Last but not least，you should watch what you eat．Eat food which is high in water，starch（淀粉）and carbonhydrate（糖类），but be sure to get a good balance in your diet．
As long as you pay attention to the above，playing sports safely in the heat isn't a difficult thing．

3．Hold your head up high
I was 15 months old，a happy carefree kid，until the day I fell．It was a bad fall．I landed on a piece of glass
that cut my eye badly．From then on，so my injured sightless，cloudy gray eye lived on with me．
Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions．When kids played games，I was  always the
"monster"．I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me．
Yet Mom would say to me，"Hold your head up high and face the world．"I began to rely on that
saying．As a  child，I thought mum meant，"Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something
because you are not looking．"
As a teenager，I usually looked down to hide my shame．But I found that when I held my head up high，people liked me．
In high school I even became the class president，but on the inside I still felt like a monster．
All I really wanted was to look like everyone else．When things got really bad，I would cry to my mom and
she would look at me with loving eyes and say，"Hold your head up high and face the world．Let them
see the  beauty that is inside instead of your appearance．"
My  mom's  love  was  the  spark  that  gave  me  confidence．I  had  faced  hardships，and  learned
not  only  to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion （同情） for others．
"Hold your head up high"has been heard many times in my home．I say it to my children．The gift my
Mom gave me lives on．

2．Now many boys wear the same clothes as girls，and some of them have long hair．So sometimes it's difficult to tell whether（是否）they are boys or girls．
