【题目】 On my way to the hospital where my mother was staying, a feeling of worries swept over me. The sky was clear and the wind was gentle, but it didn’t make me feel any better, because I was so worried about my mother.

Rushing into the ward (病房), I saw a woman with short hair lying on the bed in a mess, and in her arms a little baby was crying. As the woman turned around, I realized it was my dear mother. With tears running down my cheeks, I gave her a big hug. Then I noticed my little brother—a cute and small baby who was like a toy. Seeing him, I thought everything was just like a dream.

When my friends congratulated me on the birth of my little brother, every cell ( 细胞) in my body resisted (抵制), because I didn’t feel any joy. I felt so worried that I couldn’t imagine what life would be like living with a baby. Anyway, another new start of my life in a two-child family began.

At 5 every morning, I would be woken up by his crying. Then I had to play with him and try my best to make him happy. Yes, I had to act like a big sister. At first, I was tired of this, since nursing isn’t an easy job. But one day, while we were playing in front of the mirror, I smiled at him and suddenly he smiled back. Melted (融化于) by his cuteness, my heart was full of happiness.

All my tiredness was gone. I realized that living with a baby wasn’t always terrible. There was a moment when my father and I were dressing him while my mother was feeding him, and he suddenly stopped eating to look at me. A big smile appeared on his face. At that moment, we all laughed.

I’ve gradually found that life is more interesting ever since his birth. I also realized how hard my parents must have worked when I was a kid. I love my family.

The only-child days in my family are gone. I’m excited to start an unforgettable journey in my life with my dear brother.

【题目】 We all do it. We all need it. Most of us need to do it for seven to nine hours a night. It is of course sleep. Many scientists believe the truth. An adult should get eight hours sleep every night. However, some people can live without feeling sleepy after as little as six hours of sleep. But other people need about ten hours a night. Babies usually sleep between 14 to 17 hours a day. Usually they only stay awake for one to three hours.

Do you take a nap (打盹) in the day? Some adults and children need to nap. This just depends on the person. One thing scientists have learned is that man is the only mammal (哺乳动 ) that stops himself from going to sleep. This can be bad for our bodies in many ways. Scientists believe not sleeping enough can make us eat more. And not sleeping enough can make us put on weight. Hopefully you are a good sleeper and get a good night’s rest tonight!

【题目】 In the 13th century, Marco Polo, the world known Italian traveler, saw many wonderful things in China. One of the things he discovered was money made of paper. People in the West did not have such kind of money until the 15th century. However the Chinese began to use it in the 7th century.

Paper was invented by a Chinese man called Cai Lun almost 2,000 years ago. But it was not made in Europe until the year 1100. Four hundred years later, a German discovered that he could make the best paper from trees. After that countries rich in forests, such as Canada, Sweden, America, Finland became the most important ones in paper making.

Paper can be used in many ways. The common uses include newspapers, magazines and books. But do you know that paper can be used for keeping warm? In Finland, the farmers wear paper boots to keep their feet warm in the snow. And even houses can be insulated from heat or cold with paper.

However, we have to understand that paper still comes from trees now. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth some day in the near future. Every day people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down nearly 48,000 trees every day. The fact is that it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow.

So we must start saving paper right now. We can use both sides of every piece of paper. We can make useful things out of used paper. We can use china cups instead of paper ones. When shopping, we can use fewer paper bags and reuse them if we have some.

In short, we should keep a balance (平衡) between using paper and protecting trees, and do it now before it is too late.
