My life was perfect when I was twelve years old． I had a big family，（1） my sister， Chrissy，and a little brother， Patrick， whom I loved greatly． Spring was coming， and I was（2） about another summer with Grandma． She and I had great fun together last summer． She was retiring （ 退休）this year，（3） that meant more time with her． Then， on April 11， 2017， at 10：00 P．M．，we were all going to bed when the phone rang． My uncle was（4） to say that Grandpa had just taken Grandma to the hospital…
The next morning I was told that Grandma was gone due to a heart disease． I tried to be strong，but even my father（5） ． I hadn't even said goodbye to her： I couldn't control my（6） anymore and began to cry loudly． It finally hit me： She was gone （7） ． All she had left me were（8） in the garden ﹣ the hours we spent planting flowers and taking care of （9） ． I believe that my grandma is a star watching over me， and she would have wanted me to be（10） and happy like her， even though there are bad times． My family and friends love me for who I am and support me for what I do， as I know my grandma would， too．

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．
|
A．Our skin feels things B．Fingers are easily hurt C．our bodies are mostly water D．Hair keeps animals warm， too E．Too much sunshine can hurt us F．Hair can be used to make some quilts G．They help keep our fingers from getting hurt |
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．
It was a cold and （2） morning after the winter vacation． Actually， it was my （3） day at my new school． I was walking slowly and worrying about lots of things． It was early and there weren't many people on the road． A girl （4） was on a bike passed me quickly． She was riding on snowy ice when suddenly she fell off her bike just a few steps in front of me． She was trying hard to get up， （5） fell again． Without thinking， I went over and helped her stand up． She said "Thank you" with a smile and then rode away． The words "Thank you" （6） me and this small event made me feel less nervous about my new 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．
Space travel is nothing new． The first spacecraft with a human was sent up（1） space in 1961． Since then， people have not only traveled to space，（2） many of them have lived there in space stations for some time．
The Soviet Union（前苏联） sent the（3） space station into space in 1971． This space station was called Salyut 1． Salyut 1（4） as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments． The first group of astronauts lived there for 23days． The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations． At about the same time， the United States had（5） own space station， called Skylab．
Astronauts（6） in these space stations for a short time． However， it wasn't until the late 1980s when The Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a （7） time．
Living in space stations seems to be fun， but astronauts face many problems． One of them （8） food． All the（9） on space station are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle． Because the food has to last a long time （sometimes up to three months）， a lot of it has to be stored in cans． The space station does not have a fridge， but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh． Astronauts also eat many other foods（10） dried meat that do not need special care．
