When Susan told me that she was terribly ill and probably would die. I cried. I didn’t understand why this happened to my best friend. Then Susan 35 me a red ribbon(丝带) without saying anything.
A month later, Susan was at a hospital about two hours away from where we lived. I asked my dad to take me to see her. I wanted to give my best friend a 36 . So I took out the ribbon and cut it into two pieces with scissors(剪刀). I put one in my pocket and the other in an envelope(信封), along with a letter explaining it to her. I told her to keep her 37 beside her bed, and I would keep mine near me, too. Then I went to the hospital one Friday afternoon, wondering (想知道) if the ribbon would 38 anything to her. I walked into the room and ran over to give her a big hug. Then I gave her a teddy bear and the envelope. We talked for a while and then she started looking 39 , so I asked her to get some rest and left the hospital. All the way home I 40 the ribbon close to me.
For the next four months, the ribbon was with me 41 I went: school, home, shopping, and at friends’ houses. Where I went, it went. It was something to remind(提醒)me that I had a friend who would 42 home very soon. Susan said that she wore her ribbon 43 her arm all the time and she always had it close to her when she was being tested and treated.
Finally, Susan came home! I was so happy. That night, I looked at the ribbon which was still with me. I had a feeling it would never 44 , that I would remember what had happened during the time she had been ill.

Schools 44and farms were destroyed. We ran out of food and clean water. In some places the water was higher than the buildings. I felt like we lived in a(n) 45 _ world.
Because of the flood, lots of 46 broke out. Because of the dead animals, some people 47 . The soil and other things made the water become very, very 48 _. That was in summer time, so though it was raining, the 49 was still high. The hot weather and really dirty water50 the air very bad. Hospitals didn't have enough rooms for 51 .

I have 35 friends, and we always play football together at school or in the park after school. We like staying out late to play football. We often play for three hours or more and forget when to stop. Then I 36 trouble at home because my parents do not allow me to play ou
tside after 6 p.m. I really do not understand why they are so strict. I feel stressed and angry37 . I believe it is important for us to spend some time on our ho
bbies. They can help us relax and make our lives 38 .I wish I could have my parents’39 .
Is it bad to stay out late to play football? Should I spend less time on it? I really do not know40 . Can you please advise me how to achieve a balance between my schoolwork and my hobbies? Thanks a lot.

I have a lot of homework every day, and I have no choice 23 to do it. I often stay up late to complete24 , and then feel tired the next day.
Sometimes, I want to 25 to do so much work, but usually I just accept it. I understand that it is important to do my homework and 26 on time. However, I hardly have any spare time for my hobbies 27 playing volleyball and ping-pong. I really feel bad about that. I often doubt whether it is worth 28 so hard.
I am 29a holiday without homework so that I can relax and have some time for my hobbies. What should I do? Can you offer me some suggestions? They will be of great value to me. I hope to 30 you soon.
