①Wonder, by United States writer R.J．Palacio, is a powerful story of a boy named August Pullman．He was born with a different face．When he first started school at 10, everyone stared (盯着看) and made fun of him．The story shows all the ups and downs August faced at his new school．Students often bullied him for not looking normal．But at the same time, he made true friends there and even won an award at his graduation ceremony.
②This book has touched my heart．It’s not a fairy tale—life isn’t one．Instead, the story shows things that could really happen in middle school.

For a moment, McCormack stood quietly reading the words on the paper．Then she picked up her pen．She crossed out the word perfect and wrote honest before handing the dictionary back to Karie.

Every human being has about 25, 000 genes（基因）.Your genes are part of your DNA．They give your body instructions on how to develop．For example, if your genes tell your body to build long, thin fingers, then you’ll have long, thin fingers.
Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you such as your hair color, your eye color, your weight, your height, and so on．Genes are still a bit of a mystery（神秘）to scientists, but they’re learning new things about them all the time.
Do the genes influence（影响）our personalities People have different ideas．These days, most people agree that the answer to the question is yes．Recent studies have shown that genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose．What is a sense of purpose If a person really wants to complete something and do well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose．A person who does not care about goals has no sense of purpose.
Although scientists agree that our genes influence our personalities, there is another question．How much do they influence us Can we control ourselves, or do our genes control us So far, we still don’t really have an answer.
Genes also influence your health．If a gene has a problem, it’s called a mutated gene．Some mutated genes can cause diseases．That is why if a person has a certain health problem, his or her child is more likely to have that same problem.
As scientists and doctors learn more about genes, they’re also developing a new kind of medicine: gene therapy．Gene therapy means fixing or replacing mutated genes．Scientists are still doing experiments（实验）on gene therapy．It’s possible that in the future, gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are caused by mutated genes.

Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons．Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet（芭蕾）lesson．“How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice．All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time．“Would you like to be me for a day ” they asked each other．It seemed like a wonderful plan to them．After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag．Then they left for their classes．
When the art lesson started, Karen was lost．Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing．When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn`t dare（敢）to hand in her work．
At the same time, Grace was struggling（挣扎）in the ballet class as well．As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly．As a result, she kept knocking into them．Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, “Karen, you should remember the basic steps．You can’t depend on copying what others are doing.”

Last Saturday, our class had a charity sale in our school for Project Hope．Before the sale, we handed out leaflets to make people know our sale．Then we began to sell different things like food and toys．Some were taken from our home, others were hand-made．It was so much fun! Our monitor even sang a song to attract more people to buy them．We were very happy to see that all the things were sold out in a short time!

Every human being has about 25, 000 genes（基因）.Your genes are part of your DNA．They give your body instructions on how to develop．For example, if your genes tell your body to build long, thin fingers, then you’ll have long, thin fingers.
Your genes come from your parents, and they decide everything about you such as your hair color, your eye color, your weight, your height, and so on．Genes are still a bit of a mystery（神秘）to scientists, but they’re learning new things about them all the time.
Do the genes influence（影响）our personalities People have different ideas．These days, most people agree that the answer to the question is yes．Recent studies have shown that genes especially influence our self-control and our sense of purpose．What is a sense of purpose If a person really wants to complete something and do well in life, he or she has a sense of purpose．A person who does not care about goals has no sense of purpose.
Although scientists agree that our genes influence our personalities, there is another question．How much do they influence us Can we control ourselves, or do our genes control us So far, we still don’t really have an answer.
Genes also influence your health．If a gene has a problem, it’s called a mutated gene．Some mutated genes can cause diseases．That is why if a person has a certain health problem, his or her child is more likely to have that same problem.
As scientists and doctors learn more about genes, they’re also developing a new kind of medicine: gene therapy．Gene therapy means fixing or replacing mutated genes．Scientists are still doing experiments（实验）on gene therapy．It’s possible that in the future, gene therapy will help doctors prevent and cure diseases that are caused by mutated genes.

Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons．Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet（芭蕾）lesson．“How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice．All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time．“Would you like to be me for a day ” they asked each other．It seemed like a wonderful plan to them．After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen’s ballet dress while Karen put Grace’s brushes and paints into her bag．Then they left for their classes．
When the art lesson started, Karen was lost．Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing．When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn`t dare（敢）to hand in her work．

Last Saturday, our class had a charity sale in our school for Project Hope．Before the sale, we handed out leaflets to make people know our sale．Then we began to sell different things like food and toys．Some were taken from our home, others were hand-made．It was so much fun! Our monitor even sang a song to attract more people to buy them．We were very happy to see that all the things were sold out in a short time! Then, we gave away the money to help children in poor areas.
I think it was a meaningful experience．Making things helps develop our life skills．Meanwhile, we can learn how to communicate with others well．Last but not least, helping people makes us happy.
