His parents began to worry （69）a him．But even they did not know what was wrong with him．So his dad decide to visit the school and have a （70）t with him by himself．
They sat on the beach near the school．The father started asking him （71）q about his classes，teachers and sports with a smile on his face．After some time his dad said kindly，"Do you know （72）w I am here today，my dear son？"
The boy answered back （73）q ，"To check my grades．"
"No，no．"his dad replied calmly，"I am here to make you （74）u that you are the most important person for me．I want to see you happy．I don't care about grades．I care about you．Nothing could be more valuable than your （75）h ．You are my life!"
These words made the boy's eyes filled with （76）t ．He hugged his dad happily．They didn't say（77）a to each other for a long time．

Our skin（皮肤） is like a bag that we live in． Inside the bag， （1） ． Our water is like the water in the sea． It is very salty． Also， like the ocean， we can lose our water． The sun could take it away． Our bag of skin keeps our body's ocean from drying up．
Our skin keeps out sunshine． （2） Skin also keeps out dirty things． That's important because some kinds of them can make us sick． （3） ． It feels warm things， cold things， things it touches， and things that hurt it． A fire feels warm． A snowball feels cold．
Our hair helps keep things out of our eyes， ears， and nose． Hair is also good for keeping us warm． When we get too cold， our body hairs stand up and hold air close to our skin like a heavy quilt． （4） ． Some animals have more hair than others， so they are not afraid of cold weather．
Our nails（指甲） are another special skin which are very hard． （5） ． Our nails aren't as strong or sharp as the nails that animals have． But they are just good for the basic human needs．

Helping others always brings you something， sooner or later， one way or another． I didn't know that until one day when I went to my （1） school．

（7） ， I got to school． The teacher led me to the classroom and asked me to sit down （8） a girl． I was so nervous． I knew some of the students were looking at me but I didn't dare to look at them． Soon the first class started． It was English． They used a different textbook from my old school and I didn't have a copy． As I was wondering what to do， a book appeared in front of me． "Let's share，" the girl next to me said． "And hi， I'm Carrie．" I （9） ． It was the girl I helped that morning． （10） a surprise!
From then on， we became good friends． She was my first and best friend at my new school． Helping her also helped me find a friend．

The most interesting museum I've ever been to is the American Computer Museum． They have（1） （information） about different computers and who invented them． The old computers were much bigger． It's unbelievable that technology has progressed in such a rapid way! I've also learned that there was a special computer． It could play chess even （2） （well） than humans． I wonder how much more computers （3） （are） able to do in the future．
I've （4） （recent） been to a very unusual museum in India， the International Museum of Toilets． I just （5） （could） believe my eyes when I saw so many different kinds of toilets there． The museum （6） （teach） people about the history and development of toilets． It also encourages governments and social groups （7） （think） about ways to improve toilets in the future． Last year I went to the Hangzhou （8） （national） Tea Museum． It's a relaxing and peaceful place near a lake． The tea art performances show how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets． Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea （9） （it）． I've finally realized why my grandpa loves drinking tea and （10） （collect） tea sets．
