When we got to my Dad’s home，we found Dad still coughed a lot，but his smile was as sure as ever. He was sick. My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend，we had to return to our jobs on Monday. But I wanted to let him know that we also cared about him，even when we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered when our children were small. Before leaving their grandparents’ home after a visit，each child would write a love note to their grandparents. For days，their grandparents would smile as they read these notes of love.

So when I cleaned Dad’s kitchen and made the bed for him, I wrote some notes. Some were like this，“Dad，I put the food in the fridge.”  Some were like this，“Dad，I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.” Most notes were put downstairs he would stay for several weeks when he was. But I put one note upstairs under his pillow(枕头), “If you have found this note, you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”

These notes helped improve his health. A few weeks later, I asked Dad how he was doing on the phone. He said, “Much better. I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!”

It is very common for students’ marks to fall. Sometimes it is because of situations outside school such as problems at home. Sometimes it is only because the exams get harder.

When your marks start to fall, you should try talking to a friendly teacher. He or she will be able to help you with the subjects you feel difficult. Stop（62）把自己同其他的学生比较. It doesn’t matter if other students get higher marks than you. What is important is that you do your best. Before each exam, you should go through your notes from class.

Remember:（63）Nothing is possible if he or she doesn’t have confidence.Besides（64）this, right ways are also needed by you. Keep on working hard, sooner or later, you will be successful.

 James Cameron’s "Titanic" has come back, in 3D this time. It was first shown in 1997. It won 11 Oscars(奥斯卡), including best picture and best director(导演) for Cameron. Fifteen years later, Kate Winslet, the leading lady, who played Rose in the movie is happy to be back for the movie . She said, "It’s been a really big part of my life. It’s kind of never gone away. People keep saying to me, "How does it feel to be talking about it after 15 years?" Well, I’ve always been talking about "Titanic", it didn’t go anywhere. So, it’s great that it’s coming out again, in 3D, and it’s wonderful too, it’s still the same wonderful film."
   The stars in the movie Titanic got together again. However, the film’s leading man Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s busy with other work didn’t show up. He played Jack in the movie.
According to the passage, answer the following questions:

Getting recognition（认可）from National Geographic, a famous US magazine, is the dream for many photographers. A Chinese teenage photographer has made this dream come true.

With his work Weed（野草）on the Wall, Gong Zijie, a 14-year-old boy from Changsha, Hunan, won the 2014 International Photography Competition for Kids in China. It was hosted by National Geographic Kids. Gong got the first place for the subject Wild Vacation. His photo shows the shadow of a weed on theForbidden City’s red walls. In photographer Li Shaobai’s words, “The picture is silent but powerful.”

Gong learned photography from his father, a professional photographer working for Hunan TV. Since the age of 4, he has been following his father to take pictures of nature and society.

Gong is a patient photographer. When he finds something amazing, he can spend hours waiting for the perfect time to catch the moment. In his first work, Gong took the beautiful view of the sunset near his hometown. It looked simple, but Gong worked for four days to take the best photo.

Now, the young photographer cares more about social（社会的）problems. In Gong’s pictures of Liuyang River, hundreds of dead fish show us the deadly results of pollution. He has made up his mind to document polluted rivers at least once every year to make people pay more attention to environmental protection.

 “Now photography is not only a hobby, but also a duty（责任）for me.” said Gong.

Jim lives in a village. He often spends time walking by the river behind his old house. Sometimes he swims in the river. But now his father works in town, so he goes there with his family.

    Behind their new house is a park, but the park is very small. So Jim isn’t happy. “Is there a river near here?” He asks his mother on the first morning. His mother says, “No, there isn’t. But there’s a nice park near here, and there’s a pool in it. We can go to p lay there.” Jim’s very happy on the way to the park. When they get there, Jim wants to swim in the pool, but there’s a sign( 标志) before it. It says “Danger! Don’t swim in the pool.” Jim can’t find an interesting place to play. He wants to go back to the village.
