Bungee jumping(蹦极) and motorcycle racing are quite dangerous sports. Bungee jumping only lasts for a few minutes or even seconds. You jump from a high place, about 200 meters above the ground, and there is a rubber band (橡胶带子) tied to your legs. When you jump down, the rubber band pulls you up. About 2,000,000 people around the world have tried bungee jumping.

Why do people join in these dangerous sports? Some scientists say that it is because modern life has become safe and it is not interesting. In the past, people lived in danger. They had to go out and look for food, and life was like a fight but was interesting.

Many people think that there is little excitement in life. They live and work in safe places, buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill.

I am studying at a middle school，67.so I have to learn not only how to study well，but also how to get on well with others．Some of us are outgoing while others are quiet.

As the article says，“We cannot change the way other people act，68.因此学会和他们快乐的生活很重要。”

69.Maybe smiling at others is the easiest way. If others ideas are really not good，keep an open mind. Try to forgive (原谅) them. Having a friend is much better than having an enemy after all!

Also，70.不要当众指出别人的错误。 This will make people lose face and get hurt. If you really want to help，send a letter instead. On the other hand，if someone points out your disadvantage (缺点)，don't be unhappy．Just think this is a person who really wants to help you and become your friend.

Two Chinese farmers sang "in the spring" in their small room after drinking in a late August evening in Beijing. A friend put their song on the Internet. And soon they became stars around China.

Wang Xu,44, is from Henan, and Liu Gang, 29, is from Heilongjiang. They areamong the millions of farmers who have gone to the cities to work.

"Although nobody pays attention to the music, I am singing happily, on streets, under bridges or in wild country, with no credit card, no girlfriend or a home with hot water, but only a guitar.” They sing, “It is just like the life we live now.” Wang said, “We are poor farmers, and you know people won’t care about us."

Their song is loved by millions of Chinese, including the people who are also from the countryside. Many people said they cried after listening to the song.

Wang came to Beijing in 2000 and has tried many jobs. Each month after he paid 600yuan for the house and bought food, there was little money left. "I love music, and also want to make more money." Wang said. "I never dreamed of standing on such a big stage.”

To improve the children’s performance at school, the system encouraged their parents to attend events, such as parents’ evenings and plays, and help with learning at home. For many children at this school, it is making a huge difference. Children whose parents are in groups A and B make better progress than those whose parents are in groups C and D.

But not all parents are fond of being graded. “They’ll have us all wearing dunce’s (差生) hats next,” said a mother-of-one, who did not wish to be marked. She said that “It’s one thing when children get a bad grade, but now they openly embarrass their parents, too.” Another mother, who argued that the move had unfairly shifted responsibility from teachers to parents,?said “Those parents who work from nine to five won’t have time to have as much input as stay-at-home mums who have the time to contribute more and go to more school events.”

But Pat Walker, 63, whose eight-year-old granddaughter attends the school, supported it.

She said, “I think it’s very beneficial(有好处) to the pupils and the parents and the grandparents as well.”

One day,I heard the sound of the little birds. I ran to the garden and found two babies eating food on the ground. I thought they dropped off their house,so I decided to help them get back to their house. At that time,the father bird and the mother bird came back. They had some food for the third baby. They put the food on the ground,far away from the third baby. To get the food,the baby had to fly to it.

The third baby was hungry,but she was afraid to get out of the house. To my surprise,the father bird and the mother bird just stood there and did nothing.

After about ten minutes,the third baby bird didn't have any other choice. She slowly went to the border (边 缘) of the house and began to fly. She flew off from the house. Finally,the third baby bird landed safely on the ground and found the food.

While at school, I was lucky to have many good friends. Victor was my best friend from the eighth grade. With good friends, I spent many happy hours at school and outside of school. I used to discuss my lessons with them.

While I was in the ninth grade, I was not good at math. But my teacher kindly suggested I work hard and practice more, and I did so. In one exam, I got good grades. I consider this as my greatest success in my middle school life.

Once the principal(校长) visited our class. He asked us to name the writer of a book. I alone gave the correct answer. The principal praised(称赞) me. Shall I forget this?

I took great interest in school plays. Once I played the leading role(主角) in a play. I acted so well that I was given some prizes.

I always looked forward to the writing competition held in our school. I was good at writing, and I never failed to win prizes at the competitions.

Also, I cannot forget the pleasant evenings I spent at the playground. Victor and I played football every evening. We took part in several football games between schools. We won twice and got prizes.

Such experiences made my middle school life very interesting and enjoyable.
