The whole school was talking about the winter camp.And everyone was looking forward(61) it except me because I thought l would get homesick.But it was the way we grew up.
When arriving at the camp,we (62) (ask) to ski(滑雪)down to field by the coach.I skied (63) (careful),but I still hit a piece of ice and fell down.
Ha!Ha!"Behind me,somebody started laughing.I looked back to see (64) was laughing at me.To my surprise,I saw (65) girl in the same embarrassing position l was in."I thought I'd be bad at this.but it seems (66) (difficult) than I expected!"she said suddenly,I started laughing,too.Afer being so afraid of (67) (fall),it was a comfort not to fear it anymore.

The mountain was high and it was cold. Everything (1) (cover) by snow and ice and it was dangerous. I shook in my tent as the storm tried(2) (knock) me back to the bottom. "You will never make it to the top," everyone said,"no woman has ever climbed this mountain and only a few people have done it by themselves." I was so confident(3) I would be the first woman to climb up to the top of Whitmore. I had prepared for several (4) (month).
The wind had gotten much (5) (quiet) when I woke up the next morning. I climbed(6) of my tent and looked out at the mountain. Everything was white and still. "I will make it to the top today," I thought to(7) (I).
I started up the slope. My feet crunched the snow with every step I took. It was a beautiful day. I was climbing quickly. Soon I was going to reach the top.All of (8) sudden, I slipped (滑倒).I moved down the mountain. I was going slowly at first but then I started to slide very fast. I started to turn around and around quickly. After what felt (9) forever, I came to a stop. I had slid all the way to the bottom. I was alive. I couldn't believe it.
Three days later, I(10) (make) it to the top. It was a beautiful day and I had a perfect view of everything around me.
When I began working at Hillcrest High School three years ago, I was introduced to Sharon Dunn, the school's headmistress.
Her smart appearance and warm, friendly(1) (表情) made me like her at once. She is a small﹣boned, smiling(2) (女士)in her early fifties. She has shining blue eyes and soft(3) (银灰色的)hair. Although she dresses simply,she always manages to look nice.
She is a very fair﹣minded person who(4) (对待)everyone at the school in the same way. Even when she is upset, she is actually very calm, which is shown by her ability to(5) (克制)her feelings in the most difficult situations. Her quiet voice arid gentle,(6) (有礼貌的)manner make her popular with the children.
Ms. Dunn has no children of her (7) (自己的), however, she says that she feels like a mother to all of the children in her school. In fact, she has no time for family life, since she gives her life to her job completely. Besides dealing with different leading(8) (任务) every day, she always takes time to talk to the teachers and parents (9) (耐心地).
To my mind,Sharon Dunn is an educational(10) (专家)who is a wonderful role model, not only for the children but for the teachers, as well.

Have you ever eaten a dandelion (蒲公英)? Me neither. Have you ever blown it to make a wish? Me, too.
"Time to pick dandelions, Athena," Mum opened the car door and I entered with a (1) . My hometown is in Greece(希腊), where dandelions are(2) on the menu. But I didn't eat dandelions. Why did I have to(3) them with my family every spring?
Then I said goodbye to my new friend Brigid, whose family had(4) moved in our neighborhood in New York. I was(5) Brigid didn't ask where we were going. Nobody in America ate dandelions. I always worried that(6) would notice us picking dandelions.
We(7) into a wild field. Hundreds of lively yellow flowers appeared everywhere. Then we stopped our car. Dad went over to cut dandelions and put them in his bag. But I just hid in the book. "(8) do we eat dandelions?" I asked. "The best food in the world." Dad answered, shaking a handful of greens.(9) we were ready to leave,we had enough dandelions. On the way home, Mum and Dad talked about hosting a dinner party for the new neighbors to try our (10) Greek food.
The night of the party, Brigid arrived with her parents. Mum served(11) different Greek foods. Our guests ate everything. Finally came the dandelions. "Wait!" I said to Brigid. But it was too(12) . "You ate the dandelions!"I told her. We both(13) , and she ate another bite. "(14) ," she said.
Mum was smiling at us. After dinner, Brigid and I went to the backyard and lay on the grass. The stars reminded me of dandelions in the soft field. I closed my eyes and made a (15) : to be as open﹣minded as my family and my new friend.
