Dear Ms Zhou,
How are you doing Because o the epidemic (疫情), we have to (stay) at home for such a long time. During these special days, (虽然；尽管) we can only have classes online, you have made your classes so interesting we can't wait to have your lessons every day. It is you who care about us and often communicate us through We Chat. With your help, I (make) great progress in the last exam two weeks ago. With your help, I understand the (important) of confidence (信心) and persistence (坚持). You also tell us that what we learn today will be quite (use) for my whole life in the future.

How many things can you see in the night sky A lot! But scientists believe there are some things we will never see, like black holes, one of the most popular (项目) about the universe.
An (国际的) team of scientists announced it had taken the first picture of a black hole. Harverd University scientist Sheperd Doeleman has (领导) the research since it started. He said that the new picture (提供) strong evidence to support Albert Einstein's theories. It showed the black hole having a dark center, with a (明亮的) orange and yellow ring around. It is about 6.5 billion times greater than the (太阳的) system.
He said he felt pleased with the picture, because black holes are areas in space where gravity is so strong that nothing—not even (光) —can run away from them, which makes it really hard to take the picture. So researchers finally (创造) an Earth-sized "virtual telescope" to get the highest possible picture qulity.
However, there are still a lot of things that we didn't discover (还,尚). And we are not sure (是否) we are alone in the universe or not. So next time when you look up at the night sky, remember: there's more in the sky than meets the eye!
What a long vacation! I stayed at home and almost did nothing but the homework. I felt so bored that I wanted to find a part-time job to learn something new. I told my plan to my parents with (激动,兴奋) and they agreed with me on that. You could imagine happy I was at that time.
The next morning, I went out and searched the (整个的) city for a part-time job. After (collect) some information, I went into a small cake shop and found a job. I was very (interest) in it.
My first customer (顾客) was a (残疾的) man who couldn't walk well. After I took his order, he seemed a little bit tired. I helped him sit down on a small chair (safe). Then I asked him to wait for a while.
A few minutes later, I came back with a nice cake. The old man (hold) my arm and said, "You are very nice, little boy. I feel very happy because of your (kind)"
I (learn) a big lesson since then. If you are good to others, people will think you are a nice person and be good to you. I love this part-time job, because I like to see the satisfied smile on people's faces.
Once upon a time, two hungry people met an old man in the forest. old man gave a fishing rod (竿) to the first man. And he gave the other man a basket of fish. Then, they went on own ways.
The second man was happy and cooked the fish. It was delicious that he enjoyed his meal. He quickly all of the fish. Soon, he starved to death (饿死) he had nothing to eat. What about the first person He was sill hungry. He walked for a long time to get to the beach. He was too to go fishing when he get there. He starved to death, too.
Another two hungry people also got the same things the old man, a fishing rod and a basket of fish. But they didn't go their ways alone. They agreed to find the sea together. At first, they ate the fish together when they were hungry on the way. Then, they arrived at the and started to take turns fishing. Later, they caught and more fish and started their fishing business.
The first pair of people failed to work together. They died. However, the second lived better by working together. What lesson can you learn from it
Nowadays students are under great pressure (压力). Keeping happy can help you study better. Good habits can not only bring you happiness, but also help to make your dreams come true. You'll probably find it's more difficult for you to succeed them.
Good habits are not easy to keep, although they're so important to your success. People fail and mistakes when they are making great changes and trying some new things. Maybe they will not be successful the first time they do it, but remember that's just life and nothing to feel upset about. What you should do next is trying , and making the good habits step by step. Here are three little habits that can make a big in your life.
to take care of yourself and keep healthy. How you take care of yourself is very important in your life. The small habits of caring for your body and mind will give you the great power (力量) to realize your dreams and improve your health and happiness.
Don't forget to forgive (原谅) others. Forgiving takes you one step to your happiness. Don't make a habit of having hatred (仇恨). It does but hurts your own happiness and success. Forgiving others doesn't mean you are a loser. Instead, you will probably have more chances to feel easy and get success.
Encourage (鼓励) yourself to be curious (好奇的). There's always something more meaningful to learn in life we stop learning. And as long as you follow your heart and your curiosity, you won't miss out on learning. The habit of being curious means you'll always get much from life.
So why not have these habits to stay happy
One of the most famous persons of the comic book world left us. Stan Lee passed away on November 12 at the age of 95.
Lee was born in New York City. He began to (练习) writing for comic books at 19. He brought us many well-known comic characters.
Lee's characters often had super powers but they also made (错误). They were (普通的) humans, not gods. They lived in New York City and other parts of real America. They worked hard (保护) the world, and tried to make friends and help (某人) in their life. Nobody is all good, or all bad, Lee once wrote. Like Peter Park er, a high-school student became special after a spider (咬) him. However, he had no idea what to do at first. It was such a (惊奇) for him. Even Captain America, as (勇敢的) as Superman, had some problems as well.
