Maybe you are more interested in sports than in history. You probably think you will never be a top student. In f (1)       ，anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. If you can use your time well,you may improve your study w (2)       much work. Here's how:

  Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week time,you should make a 1 (3)       of things that your have to do. First write down the time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc. Then decide on a good time for studying. Of course,studying shouldn't take all of your time. Don't forget to leave yourself enough t (4)       for hobbies.

  Find a good place to study. Look a        (5) the house for a good study place. K(6)       this space,which may be a desk or just a corner of your room. No games,radio,or television!When you sit down to work,think only about the subject!

  Make good use of your time in class. Listen c (7)       to what the teacher says. Careful listening in class means less work later. You also need to take notes in class,because it can m (8)       it easier for you to learn well.

  Only a few ways are mentioned here to h (9)       you with your study. I believe you will find s (10)       other ways besides these.

  What's the real meaning of the word "peace"? The f (1)       story may tell us something about it.

  There was once a king who offered an award to an artist who could paint the b (2)       picture of peace. Many a        (3) tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.

  One picture was a calm lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains around it. And overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. A        (4) who saw this picture would think that it was a perfect picture of peace.

  The other picture had mountains too. But they were rugged (高低不平的) .Above was the dark sky,from which heavy rain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of the mountain. This picture did not look p (5)       at all. But when the king looked c (6)       he found behind the waterfall a very small bush g (7)       and a mother bird sitting on her nest (鸟窝)   in perfect peace.

  The king gave the award to the artist who painted the s (8)       picture. Why? "Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean a place where there is no n (9)       or trouble. Peace m (10)       in the midst of all those things,you're still calm in your heart. That's the real meaning of peace."

  I think watching TV is not good for students. First,children are d (1)       from adults. It is true that students can r (2)       by watching TV. However,the dangerous thing (3)       students is that they just can't take their e (4)       off the screen. They will go on watching TV for hours a        (5) hours. It is very bad for their eyes. S(6)       ，many students have the habit of w (7)       too much TV. So they have little time for sports. Third,some TV programs are not s (8)       for students. Some even lead them to crimes. Finally,too much TV can m (9)       students weak in reading. They will 1 (10)       interest in reading,which I think is a terrible thing.

  Once there lived a man and his wife who had wanted a child of their own for a long time but didn't have one. At the back of their house there was a little window from which a wonderful garden could be seen. The garden was f (1)       of beautiful flowers and vegetables. But it was surrounded by a high wall,and it b (2)       to a powerful witch (女巫) .So no one ever went into the garden.

  One day,the wife stood at the window and looked out into the garden. She saw a delicious vegetable called "lettuce”g (3)       there. It looked so fresh and green that she hoped to have some. This c (4)       for days,and she became very sad and sick. The husband became n (5)       .

  "What's wrong,dear wife?" he asked.

  "If I can't eat those vegetables,I think I will die!" The wife answered. "Instead of 1 (6)       my wife,I will get her some lettuce w (7)       it costs”，the man thought.

  In the evening,he c (8)       over the wall into the garden. He q (9)       picked a handful of the lettuce and brought it home. She made a salad with it and a        (10) it all. It was so good that the next day she wanted some more. Her husband had to go into the garden again.

   Do you really care about your parents? H(1)       this question,most of us may give a quick answer "Of course,I do. " But maybe we don't.

  It is true that all parents remember clearly when to c (2)       their children's birthdays. However,it is a pity that few children know exactly when their parents' birthdays are.

  Most parents can easily n (3)       their children's favorite food,but not many students know w (4)       their parents like to eat.

  Sometimes we can hear parents c (5)       that their children don't talk with them as often as b (6)       Children are growing and the generation gap (代沟) is widening.

  If you love your parents well,let them f (7)       your love. Give them a birthday gift on their s (8)       day. Help them do the housework as often as possible. Bear in mind what your parents like or dislike. Don't always say things a        (9) your parents. Talk with them more often and u (10)       them more.

    According to the recent survey,only forty percent of children in our country feel happy. Why? Do you know what " happiness" m (1)       ？

  A lot of money? No homework every day? High marks or anything e (2)       ？

  In fact,happiness is always around you if you put your h (3)       into it. When you are in trouble in school,your friends will help you;when you study hard at your 1(4)       , your parents are always taking good care of your life and h (5)       ; when you get s (6)       ，your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong,people around you will help you c (7)       it. And when you do something good to others,you will feel happy,too. All these are called happiness. If you notice a bit of them,you can see that happiness is always around you. All these can't be b (8)       with money. It's a feeling of your heart. When you come a        (9) difficulties,you can say loudly you are very happy,because you have more chances to challenge yourself.

  As the saying goes,life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes,it also o (10)       . If you take every chance you get,you can be a happy and lucky person.
