You may have heard that many animals are endangered.What does that mean  (1)  ? Endangered means there are very few of that kind still   (2)  . Someday they might die out. You may wonder   (3)   people can do to help endangered animals.

People  (4)  some ways to protect plants and animals from becoming endangered or extinct. One way is to protect the animalsˈ or plantsˈ habitats. Some governments have set aside  (5)  for parks. No one  (6)   to disturb the habitat inside park lands. People cannot build houses there. They cannot hunt animals. No one can collect plants or animals from  (7)  the park. Mining and drilling(打孔) for oil is prevented in parks.

People have made the laws to protect plants and animals. Laws  (8)  be made to protect habitats. Hunting laws do not allow people to hunt certain animals. Some laws limit the   (9)  of trees that can be cut down in forests. Other laws  (10)  that people cannot build homes, factories, or stores in certain places.

     Walking in an American middle school, I see groups of students,   (1)  ) cliques (小集团)， talking and walking together. If you go to a middle school I see the same. These students do almost  (2)  together: eat lunch, do homework, play sports, and go to movies.

    We all need a group of   (3)  . They are the ones we run to tell how well we did on the last test. They listen when we complain how our parents made us do homework  (4)  playing with our best friends. They help us with hard homework problems.

       But like everything else, cliques can be bad. What happens if a close friend (let’s call her Sally) has a fight with   (5)  friend (Joe)? Sally stops talking to Joe, and that’s not all. She   (6)   wants you to stop talking to him, even though Joe and you have been friends for two years.

      What can you do? The best way is  (7)  to Sally and tell her you do not want to be involved (卷入) in the argument. Tell her that this fight is not between you and Joe. Tell her that you want to be friends with   (8)  ) of them. If she is a good friend she   (9)  ) Then, you should also try to help them talk with each other again!

    Be kind and  (10)   all your friends, whether some of them are not talking to one another. You have the freedom to talk to all of them and to help all of them.

Many parents are afraid that their children will spend too much time in the Internet bars. It will    (1)   their daily life .Now more and more teenagers are   (2)   in the Web.

What’s the reason for the problem? 

Teenagers   (3)   themselves as adults .In their   (4)  they can solve the problem in life, and they don’t need help. It is not the fact. They often can’t solve the probl em   (5)  .Afterwards they go to find a place to   (6)  the probl em. The Internet provides the place for them.

Family relationship(家庭关系) is another reason. Many teenagers can’t get along   (7)  with parents. They don’t want to talk to their parents. In fact, they need parents’ help and   (8)  Some students   (9)  do well in school. They are not proud   (10)   their studies. The Internet gives their another place to satisfy themselves.

What is the result of teenagers’ being caught in web?

Spending too much time on the Internet, teenagers can’t pay enough   (11)  to their study. They can’t catch   (12)  with their classmates. Some teenagers even drop from school.

On some Webs, there is much bad information .Parents are afraid that it will do   (13)  to their children.

Marking friends online is another result. Many teenagers   (14)  with others and make friends with some strangers. Teenagers don’t know how to make friends online, they are   (15)  to be hurt .

More and more teenagers are facing the problem. We all hope that the problem will be solved earlier.

Everyone wants to be successful（成功的）. But failure is a common(普通的) thing for us.   (1)  , sometimes we fail the exams, sometimes in the sports meet, others  (2)  but we fail. So  (3)   everybody meets with the failure in his life.

However, different people have different  (4)  to deal with the failure. Some people lose hope when they fail. They seem to think that it is the   (5)   of the world. Others, don’t take failure   (6)  . They seem to think that failure is the first step(步骤) to success. They will try their best   (7)   the final success.

Now let’s imagine(猜想) the ends of the two ways. If we are afraid of the failure and always feel  (8)  , and don’t try our best to change ourselves, we may meet with more and more failures. But as long as (只要)we are hopeful and brave to face them, and never give up, we will   (9)  successful and our dreams will come true some day.

So, please remember: Life doesn’t give us the pleasure we want. But if we never give up and  (10)   do little by little, it will make a big difference.

It’s known that China is a great country   (1)   the largest population in the world. However, too large population can also be a problem. To deal with the population problem, our government decided to have one-child policy (政策) . After the policy was carried out (施行) for   (2)   , while it did help to control the population growth, problems like aging(老龄化）also became clear, Last month, all Chinese couples were told that they could be allowed to have two children. As the one-child policy came to an end, many Chinese children, including you, may have a brother or sister in the future.

But   (3)   would your life be like growing up with a brother or a sister?

Having a brother or sister can   (4)  _you away from some bad feelings such as loneliness and fear. Your brother or sister can give you something that   (5)   can’t give you. You may not feel lonely at home anymore because there will be someone playing with you and sharing secrets with you, Of course, sometimes you may argue or even fight with him or her, but you will forgive(原谅) each other soon.

How do parents treat the two children?

The way the parents treat the two children may be different. It’s said that the first-born child often gets more attention from their parents than   (6)  child. Parents teach the first-born child to take more responsibilities(责任) and _   (7)   him or her to take care of the younger brother or sister.     (8)  , the first-born child is more responsible, hard-working and serious. He or she often does well at school and work. However, when the second child arrives, parents often feel _   (9)  _ excited. The second child has to compete with the elder brother or sister

for their parents’attention and love. That’s why the second born child is often creative and humorous.

    (10)  now the government encourages people to have more children, most young couples don’t want more children because of the pressure from work and family. Maybe it takes a period of time for people to accept the new policy.

  (2)  , even the best friendship can end.

As time goes by, many friendships end because of a(n)   (3)   in personality(个性) or way of life. The friendship slowly loses importance and finally  (4)  .

Tommy wrote, “I didn’t even know the friendship was over until I caught myself thinking of Alan as a former friend.”

Peter explained. “We  (5)   seeing each other less and less. The friendship was just over.”

Sometimes friendships  (6)   suddenly from a disagreement or move to another place.

Alice said, “The end of our friendship was a gradual(逐渐) thing. I moved from one side of the city to the other. Since then we  (7)  made a phone call. We met less and less. At last our friendship ended.”

  (9)   touch with each other. Our friendship was so dead that I didn’t call him  (10)  I went home.”

Yet the biggest problem to a friendship is change. Lillian Rubin in her book Just Friends say, “Generally it’s  (11)   that friends will accept each other if they both remain what they were when they met, or change in similar directions. If they change or grow in different ways, the friendship most likely  (12)   lost.”

No matter why, when, or how friendships end, there is always  (13)   pain of loss（失去）. When nothing can be  (14)  to keep the friendship, it is important to forget the pain. Then move on  (15)   new friendships.

May new friendships bring you pleasure and happiness!
