Dear friends,
Do you remember your first day at a new school or in a new area? How about the  31   when your family    32   to a new state? Ugh! What about the feelings of being a stranger?
Then, with time, you find someone who likes  33  you like.  Friends are great gifts in life. I have good friends too,  but not because they are completely(完全的)   34 .Sometimes they talk too much; sometimes they need me a lot. I know I ask too much of them. I hope my friends, like my father,   35  about me a lot.
I once told my friends to give me all their love and be generous and gentle. I told my friends, in other words, to love me    36  I loved them.
They didn’t   37  me at first, but then they became kinder. My love for them slowly made them learn to  38  friends. They learned to love others and   39   the idea that LOVE is part of life.
If we listen to and try to understand each other, love    40   .We should work on it, even if it’s hard at first. A true friend loves US at all times.
Your friend,
Jesus

When are you an adult (成年人)？
When do you think you are an adult ? Maybe different __31_ have different ideas.
Now let’s see what some American teenagers(青少年)say .
Sam: In  32 idea ,you are an adult at the  33  of 18. That’s when you can vote(投票)。You can help to   34  who rules(统治)the whole country .That’s also a grown-up does! My grandfather couldn’ t vote   35 he was 21.They changed（改变） it to 18 in 1971.
Jenny：I don’t 36  it’s hard to say . I can drive a car at 16, can’t I ?When you have a driver’s licence , you can 37 it to people to tell them your age for all kinds of things .  38    sixteen must be the age when you change from a  39  person to an adult.Because you can tell others you are not a  40   any more .
Suzie : Well , I think there is  41   wrong with American laws for when young people can  42  things . I can vote at 18 and drive at 16. So you would think 18 is a grown-up,  43  16 isn’t .But then I can’t drink wine（酒）until I’m 21 ! If I’m 44   an adult at 18, how can people stop me from  45   a cup of beer in a bar ?

In many classrooms, it’s not  31  to find students spinning (旋转) their pens  32  they listen to their teachers.

    Pen-spinning is also popular  33  Japanese students. It is a form of entertainment. Recently, a pen-spinning competition was held in Tokyo, Japan. Ryuki Omura, a 16-year-old high school student, became the first pen-spinning  34  .

    276 people took part in the competition. They came from different age groups. Some were students  35  some were office workers. First, they  36  the videos of their pen-spinning skills to the organizer’s website. Then some of them came to the last round in Tokyo.  37  of them had 30 seconds to show their skills in front of 400 people,   38  reporters and fans. Omura took a pen from his little finger to the rest fingers, then to his palm(手掌) and the back of his hand. His wonderful show made him  39  the champion.

   Omura said he began learning pen-spinning only about 14 months ago. He did  40 in the competition. If you like to spin your pen, you can practice it in your spare time. But when you are in the class, please don’t do that.
