      Deng Xiaoping was born in Sichuan Province on August 22,1904. His family was very poor. When he was sixteen, he went to France to study. In 1924, he became a party member and this gave him a new start in his life. Later, he became a main head of the Chinese Communist Party. When he became old, he came up with a great idea —Reform(改革) and Open to the world. From then on, our country changed a lot.

London has a population of over 7000000. From about the year 1800 to 1945.London was the biggest city in the world. But now many cities are much bigger than it.

London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its famous buildings and listen to the famous clock Big Ben.

Like many big cities, London has problems such as traffic and pollution, and they stop the city from developing. Every day over 1000000 people come and go by underground, but there are still too many cars and buses on the streets. So the air isn’t clean. However, it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago.

For me, the best things in London are the parks. There are five parks in the city center. But my children’s favorite place is Hamleys, the biggest toy shop in the world.

Dear Mr. Know,

My 13-year-old son was in an accident several days ago. His doctors say he has no chance of seeing again. I have no experience with the blind (盲的). I want to know how he may behave in the future. I want to know everything I can to help him. Please help!

Mary

Dear Mary,

My son, Trey, who is nine years old, also lost his vision (视力) suddenly. I think one of the most important things for you to do is to find other blind kids of your son’s age in your area. He will need someone to talk to that understands his situation and can give him some advice. Sometimes, other kids treat your son differently, and it takes time, experience, and patience to learn the best ways of dealing with this. But if your son had another successful, blind teenager to talk to, that person could tell him how they dealt with the same situations. Also, often talk to the doctor so that they can show your son how to get around safely. Learning to use assistant technology(辅助技术) and Braille(盲人用的点字法) are also extremely important. Where I live, we have a place called Envision that offers these services. Check around for something similar in your area. I hope I have been of some help.

What a cold winter! How wonderful it would be if there were a fire! Fire keeps us warm, but fire is very dangerous, and can kill us. November 9 is National Fire Safety Day. It's a time for us to learn a lot more about fire, especially what to do if we are caught in a fire.

　 Call 119

　 Never try to put out a fire by yourself, even if it is a very small one. Get help from your parents or call 119. Tell 119 where you are and what is on fire. Listen to 119's instructions.

　 Keep down close to the floor

　 If there is a lot of smoke in your room, keep down close to the floor. There is less smoke down there, so it's easier to breathe(呼吸) and see where you are going. If you don't, the smoke may kill you before the fire does.

　 Don't use the elevator

　 Never use the elevator(电梯) during a fire. Always use the stairs. An elevator may stop at the floor where the fire is burning. It may also go wrong and keep you inside.

　 Don't go back

　 Never go back into a burning building, even if you have left your pet or favorite toy inside. Do not go back for it. Don't worry about your pets. Animals have a very good sense of smell(嗅觉). They often get out of the building before people.

So, if you use a word quite     37.   , its spelling and meaning will not be difficult. After all, Learning English is to   38.   it.

Grammar may be    39.    difficulty. But I have also dealt with it. I haven’t read lots of grammar books, but I often   40.  much time reading the articles written by native English speakers. By doing so, I have got a good sense(感觉) of the English language.

Finally, I want to say that getting over all these difficulties needs perseverance(毅力).
