“My daughter has me around every day. We read, write and sleep together. However, many students of mine have no   (1)  . They have to be separated(分开) from their   (2)  . The most heart-warming way of   (3)  a kid is the company (陪伴) of parents.” At a student care activity called “Home & Love”, Chen Shaoguang, the principal (校长) of No. 1 Primary School says, many parents are going out as migrant workers (外出务工人员) to make money to   (4)  the family. So the students at a very young age have to be  (5)   at home. And that's when their childhood begins to be covered by the feeling of   (6)   and the difficulty of fitting into a group.

 It is not easy for people to travel around the world in quite small boats. Sometimes the weather gets bad．Accidents (事故) can happen easily and quickly.

   One family once had an accident. A big fish swam under their boat and bit holes in it. Sea water came in and the boat soon went down. Luckily these people had another small boat——a lifeboat, so they all got into the lifeboat. They lived in the boat for many days. They ate and slept, and always hoped．At last people in a ship saved them.

   How do people live in a very small lifeboat for a long time? They must be strong in every way, they must have a hope, and they must have a strong desire (愿望) to live. People cannot drink seawater. If they drink a lot of sea water, they will quickly die. They must catch rainwater and drink it. They must also catch fish and birds for food．Lifeboats do not often carry cookers. So people can not cook their food in the lifeboats. Raw (生的) fish and birds are not very nice but they are their only food．They must eat raw food, or they will die.

C．we must have a strong desire (愿望) to live when we are in danger.

D．Nobody knows when we will die.

   Just like growing flowers, we can also plant happiness(快乐、幸福). Our life is   (5)   an empty (空的) pot. We have lots of things to do, but we   (6)   do them. That means we lose many things. What are the   (7)  things? Yes, they're the seeds of   (8)  , love and dreams.

   What should we plant in life? If we plant negative thoughts (消极思想) inside our   (9)  , we will feel sad in the future (消极) days; If we plant seeds of hope, we will get   (10)  .

If you have a bottle of water recycled from urine (尿), would you drink it? Astronauts at the ISS may soon do so.

   NASA (美国航空航天局) said it would use a high－tech machine to recycle waste water at the ISS. The machine will recycle water for washing hands, shower water, water for brushing teeth and even urine to make drinking water. It will save millions of dollars each year.

   At present, each ISS astronaut uses about 4.4 liters (升) of water every day. It costs about 24 million dollars a year to send water up to the ISS. A liter of water costs about $ 11, 000.

   The machine will be sent to the ISS later. NASA hopes it will recycle about 93% of all the water used on the station.

   Will the water be clean? Different chemicals will be put in the wastewater. The water will be heated to 130℃to kill bacteria (细菌). Scientists say that the recycled water is thousands of times better than the water from a city tap.

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them to go and look at a pear tree far away in turns.

The first son went in winter，，the third in summer，and the youngest son in the①fall.

When they had all gone and come back，he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly. The second son said no. It was covered with green leaves，and full of hope. The third son disagreed. He said there were many flowers that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful，it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said there was lots of fruit in the tree，full of life and harvest(收获).

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right，but they had each seen only one season in the treeˈs life. He told them“You cannot judge a tree，or a person by only one season and its true nature－the pleasure，joy，and love that come from that life can only be judged at the end，when all the seasons are up.”

If you give up when itˈs winter，you will miss the promise of your spring，the beauty of your summer，harvest of your fall. Donˈt let the pain of one season kill the joy of all the rest.

Will books be replaced by the Internet?

   Every morning, my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every day, I open my books in class and start my lessons. Every evening, my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the photos of Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep.  (1)   

   Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago in China. After its invention, people started to write on paper to make books. In those days, books were only produced one at a time by hand.  (2)   So, few people had the chance to learn to read.
