The autumn leaves crunched under Mia’s boots as she hurried through Maple Park, the golden afternoon light filtering through the oak trees. She tightened her grip on the paper bag holding Lucy’s favourite blueberry muffins from Dan’s Bakery. It was her birthday, but she still remembered the argument yesterday.
At school, Lucy had shouted at her: “You 36 forgot our project meeting! Again!” Her words hurt her harder than the November wind.
Mia had tried to explain: “My little sister was sick. My mom was in LA and I had to...”
“ 37 , everyone has excuses,” Lucy cut in, her school bag hitting the door as she turned and walked away.
Now, getting closer to their usual meeting place by the duck pond, Min 38 Lucy already there, mechanically throwing breadcrumbs to the ducklings. Her shoulders were hunched like they always were when she was unhappy.
“Hey,” Mia said, placing the muffins between them. “I brought peace offerings.”
Lucy eyed the bag but didn’t smile. “You know what made m 39 It’s not that you missed the meeting. It’s that you didn’t even call or text.”
A gust of wind sent orange leaves swirling around them. Mia 40 her miss. “I was so busy with my sister’s fever that my phone had been unnoticed.”
“You’re right,” she added, watching a mother duck herd her ducklings toward the water. “I should have found a way to 41 you. I was just... I am so sorry.”
Lucy sighed, breaking a muffin in half. The smell of warm blueberries mixed with the earthy scent of fallen leaves. “I overreacted too. My dad’s lost his job, and I’ve been 42 over everything lately.”
Mia’s eyes widened. “Why didn’t you tell me ”
“Same 43 you didn’t tell me about your sister, I guess,” Lucy said, “We were always, you know, laughing around. I didn’t want to worry you.”
At that moment, the church bells from St. Mary’s across the park began chiming 4 PM. Mia held up the remaining muffin toward Lucy. “Happy Birthday. And from now on, shall we promise to share the 44 stuff too ”

It was a cold winter evening in December, the kind where frost painted the windows and the fireplace was too weak to keep the room warm. I was twelve at the time, and my father, a quiet man who loved writing, had worked on his book for months. His study was messy, filled with coffee cups and paper—proof of his hard work. That evening, the mailman brought a thick envelope. My younger sister Lily, always eager to check the mail, grabbed it and 46 it to Dad with excitement.
Dad looked at the sender’s name—a famous publishing company—and sighed. Without saying anything, he dropped the envelope onto a shelf near his desk.
“Dad, won’t you open it ” Lily asked, sounding confused.
“It’s probably just another time to be 47 ,” he replied quietly, staring at his computer screen. His voice was 48 , but I saw his hands shake slightly.
The room fell into a heavy 49 , except for the sound of typing. Lily, however, didn’t give up. She pulled a chair to the shelf, climbed up, and grabbed the envelope. With her small hands, she opened it. “Look! It’s from the 50 !” she shouted, holding the letter high.
Dad 51 typing. Slowly, he took the letter and read, “We are happy to tell you that your book has been chosen for publication...” His voice broke as he held the paper tightly.
Lily laughed and jumped around. “I knew they’d like it!” Her eyes shone with pride, as if she’d uncovered a hidden treasure.
Dad’s face changed—first surprise, then hope, and finally relief. He hugged Lily tightly. “Thank you,” he whispered, “for not giving up on me.”
Years later, whenever Dad feels uncertain about sending his work, he remembers Lily’s words, 52 him to try. Now, I’ve started writing too—short stories in notebooks, poems on paper. When I doubt myself, Dad places a hand on my shoulder and says, “Just send it. What matters is having the 53 to try.”
Last month, I received my first refusal letter. For a moment, my heart sank. But Lily ran into my room, grabbed the letter, and said, “Next time, they’ll say 54 ! Want to bet a cookie “Her smile made me laugh.
This journey taught me that success isn’t just about skill—it’s about having someone who 55 supports you, even when things seem hard. And sometimes, that someone is a little sister who never stops believing.

Sometime in the past 20 years, people changed their attitude towards email. Culturally, it went from ease to problem. In the 1990s, American Online would excitedly announce, “You’ve got mail!” Today, Gmail (Google Mail) celebrates the 56 : “No new mail! ”
So what happened to email What happened to us These questions come up in the new technology TV program Codebreaker, which focuses on the question “Is email still 57 ”
“Email is free, and anybody can send to anybody, as many as we want. ” Codebreaker’s host, Ben Johnson said. But 58 most emails are “total garbage”, Johnson said, “and they shouldn’t even go to your inbox. ”
Yet this virtual garbage is not the real problem. Obviously, people get tired of their inboxes. Email may work technologically, meanwhile it brings some 59 mentally. Studies show checking email too often makes people less productive and unhappy. On average, people their email 77 times a day, according to Gloria Mark. a professor at the University of California. “The more email people deal with, the 60 your mood turns at the end of the day.” Maybe we have to rethink email and even change 61 we use it.
Gloria Mark is not the only one who thinks this. There are 62 new ways to replace the email routine. Some apps like messengers and chat tools are called “email killers” because they reduce email’s role in our lives.
“Email is not helpless,” said SabriBen-Achour, a reporter in the Codebreaker. “Email 63 the barriers (屏障) that hide our bad habits.”

Our science class was always full of fun things to do, but this project was different. When I was 13, my science teacher, Mr. Thompson, gave us a 93 project. “Watch one tree for a month and write about it,” he said, sounding excited. There were several trees behind our building, right away, I noticed the sad-looking maple tree. Its branches were mostly bare (光秃的), with only one red leaf 94 a little in the cool autumn wind. It seemed to be holding on to life.
Every single afternoon, I 95 set up my painting stand and got my drawing book ready. I really wanted to draw all the small changes of that leaf. Day by day, I saw its 96 red color slowly become lighter. The sides of the leaf started to curl, showing it was dying. On the twelfth day, a big rainstorm hit the city. Worried, I ran to check on “my” tree. I was so 97 when I saw the leaf was gone. I almost gave up on the project.
But just as I was about to leave, I saw something truly great. Three tiny buds (芽) had grown where the old leaf used to be. They were small and weak, but they still brought 98 . Mr. Donovan, the kind park gardener, saw my surprised look. “Leaves don’t really die, 99 , they fall to feed the earth, so new life may rise when spring comes,” he said softly and put an acorn (橡子) in my hand. His words helped me get through the long, cold winter. I spent the 100 of the season writing down all the interesting things about the tree. I saw its rough bark (树皮) give a home to many insects, and 101 squirrels ran around, hiding nuts under the tree.
When spring came, I saw a beautiful sight. New leaves grew on the maple tree and from the acorn I planted. This experience taught me an important lesson. Years later, when I 102 the national science competition, I thought of the tree. It made me realize that true strength lies in rising after every fall, just like the maple tree.

In the small town, a group of 16 year olds noticed a big problem. The local river was now full of different kinds of 103 like plastic bottles and factory waste. The river used to be a 104 place where kids swam and families had picnics, but now it smelled bad and full of trash.
The teens, led by 16-year-old Ben, decided to take action. They called their group “River Guardians”. Ben said, “This is our river, and we can’t just watch it die. We have to do something to clean it up.”
The first thing the “River Guardians” did was to spread the word. They made colorful posters that said things like “Save Our River!” and “Stop Pollution Now!” and 105 around the school and town. They also started an online group where they 106 pictures of the polluted river and facts about how pollution was bad for the environment.
Next, they organized a meeting at the local community center. They invited scientists who knew about river pollution, as well as factory owners who might be causing some of the problems. At the meeting, Ben stood up and said, “We know that factories need to make money, but they also need to think about the 107 . Our river is in trouble, and we all need to work together to fix it.”
Not everyone was happy with the teens’ ideas. Some local businesses that were responsible for the pollution didn’t want to change their ways. They said it would cost too much money to clean up their waste. One factory owner said, “If we have to spend money on cleaning our waste, we might have to close our factory, and then people will lose their jobs.”
But the teens didn’t 108 . They did more research and found out that there were ways for the factories to clean their waste 109 spending too much money. They also talked to other towns that had solved similar problems. They showed the factory owners 110 these towns had made their factories cleaner and still stayed in business.
The “River Guardians” organized a big clean-up day. They got lots of people from the school and community to help. Everyone wore gloves and carried trash bags. They spent the whole day 111 trash from the riverbanks. By the end of the day, they had filled dozens of bags with plastic, paper, and other junk.
They also worked with the local government to make new rules for factories. The rules said that factories had to clean their waste before putting it into the river. The government even gave some money to help the factories buy the right cleaning 112 .
Over time, the river started to get cleaner. The water became 113 clearer, and fish started to come back. The teens’ hard work had paid off. Ben said, “It wasn’t easy, 114 we showed that even kids can make a big difference. Now, we want to keep working on other environmental problems in our town.”
In the town, these teenagers’ actions not only saved their river but also inspired other young people to take care of the environment. Their story shows that when kids work together, they can change the world around them.

But at the end of the first week, she cheered up. When we were out for walks, she was always by my side. 16 that’s why I felt so surprised when she pulled away from me one day when taking a walk. She 17 off down the road as fast as her legs could carry her.
I followed her to the farm, feeling tired out and very angry. But when I saw her lying with four puppies and licking (舔) them 18 , my heart melted (融化).“We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door, “I took her for a walk one day. Soon after the puppies were born, and she just 19 . She must have tried to come back to them and got lost then.”
I must say I do miss Goldion, but it’s better for her to stay with her babies. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: never make assumptions (猜想) about people 20 you know them.

The autumn leaves crunched under Mia’s boots as she hurried through Maple Park, the golden afternoon light filtering through the oak trees. She tightened her grip on the paper bag holding Lucy’s favourite blueberry muffins from Dan’s Bakery. It was her birthday, but she still remembered the argument yesterday.

“Hey,” Mia said, placing the muffins between them. “I brought peace offerings.”

It was a cold winter evening in December, the kind where frost painted the windows and the fireplace was too weak to keep the room warm. I was twelve at the time, and my father, a quiet man who loved writing, had worked on his book for months. His study was messy, filled with coffee cups and paper—proof of his hard work. That evening, the mailman brought a thick envelope. My younger sister Lily, always eager to check the mail, grabbed it and 46 it to Dad with excitement.
Dad looked at the sender’s name—a famous publishing company—and sighed. Without saying anything, he dropped the envelope onto a shelf near his desk.
“Dad, won’t you open it ” Lily asked, sounding confused.
“It’s probably just another time to be 47 ,” he replied quietly, staring at his computer screen. His voice was 48 , but I saw his hands shake slightly.
The room fell into a heavy 49 , except for the sound of typing. Lily, however, didn’t give up. She pulled a chair to the shelf, climbed up, and grabbed the envelope. With her small hands, she opened it. “Look! It’s from the 50 !” she shouted, holding the letter high.
Dad 51 typing. Slowly, he took the letter and read, “We are happy to tell you that your book has been chosen for publication...” His voice broke as he held the paper tightly.
Lily laughed and jumped around. “I knew they’d like it!” Her eyes shone with pride, as if she’d uncovered a hidden treasure.
Dad’s face changed—first surprise, then hope, and finally relief. He hugged Lily tightly. “Thank you,” he whispered, “for not giving up on me.”
Years later, whenever Dad feels uncertain about sending his work, he remembers Lily’s words, 52 him to try. Now, I’ve started writing too—short stories in notebooks, poems on paper. When I doubt myself, Dad places a hand on my shoulder and says, “Just send it. What matters is having the 53 to try.”
Last month, I received my first refusal letter. For a moment, my heart sank. But Lily ran into my room, grabbed the letter, and said, “Next time, they’ll say 54 ! Want to bet a cookie “Her smile made me laugh.
This journey taught me that success isn’t just about skill—it’s about having someone who 55 supports you, even when things seem hard. And sometimes, that someone is a little sister who never stops believing.

“Email is not helpless,” said SabriBen-Achour, a reporter in the Codebreaker. “Email 63 the barriers (屏障) that hide our bad habits.”
64 email is not all bad, it’s clear that something is wrong in some ways. And if we are the ones who broke it, it will be up to us to 65 it, too.

Our science class was always full of fun things to do, but this project was different. When I was 13, my science teacher, Mr. Thompson, gave us a 93 project. “Watch one tree for a month and write about it,” he said, sounding excited. There were several trees behind our building, right away, I noticed the sad-looking maple tree. Its branches were mostly bare (光秃的), with only one red leaf 94 a little in the cool autumn wind. It seemed to be holding on to life.
Every single afternoon, I 95 set up my painting stand and got my drawing book ready. I really wanted to draw all the small changes of that leaf. Day by day, I saw its 96 red color slowly become lighter. The sides of the leaf started to curl, showing it was dying. On the twelfth day, a big rainstorm hit the city. Worried, I ran to check on “my” tree. I was so 97 when I saw the leaf was gone. I almost gave up on the project.
But just as I was about to leave, I saw something truly great. Three tiny buds (芽) had grown where the old leaf used to be. They were small and weak, but they still brought 98 . Mr. Donovan, the kind park gardener, saw my surprised look. “Leaves don’t really die, 99 , they fall to feed the earth, so new life may rise when spring comes,” he said softly and put an acorn (橡子) in my hand. His words helped me get through the long, cold winter. I spent the 100 of the season writing down all the interesting things about the tree. I saw its rough bark (树皮) give a home to many insects, and 101 squirrels ran around, hiding nuts under the tree.
When spring came, I saw a beautiful sight. New leaves grew on the maple tree and from the acorn I planted. This experience taught me an important lesson. Years later, when I 102 the national science competition, I thought of the tree. It made me realize that true strength lies in rising after every fall, just like the maple tree.

In the small town, a group of 16 year olds noticed a big problem. The local river was now full of different kinds of 103 like plastic bottles and factory waste. The river used to be a 104 place where kids swam and families had picnics, but now it smelled bad and full of trash.
The teens, led by 16-year-old Ben, decided to take action. They called their group “River Guardians”. Ben said, “This is our river, and we can’t just watch it die. We have to do something to clean it up.”
The first thing the “River Guardians” did was to spread the word. They made colorful posters that said things like “Save Our River!” and “Stop Pollution Now!” and 105 around the school and town. They also started an online group where they 106 pictures of the polluted river and facts about how pollution was bad for the environment.
Next, they organized a meeting at the local community center. They invited scientists who knew about river pollution, as well as factory owners who might be causing some of the problems. At the meeting, Ben stood up and said, “We know that factories need to make money, but they also need to think about the 107 . Our river is in trouble, and we all need to work together to fix it.”
Not everyone was happy with the teens’ ideas. Some local businesses that were responsible for the pollution didn’t want to change their ways. They said it would cost too much money to clean up their waste. One factory owner said, “If we have to spend money on cleaning our waste, we might have to close our factory, and then people will lose their jobs.”
But the teens didn’t 108 . They did more research and found out that there were ways for the factories to clean their waste 109 spending too much money. They also talked to other towns that had solved similar problems. They showed the factory owners 110 these towns had made their factories cleaner and still stayed in business.
The “River Guardians” organized a big clean-up day. They got lots of people from the school and community to help. Everyone wore gloves and carried trash bags. They spent the whole day 111 trash from the riverbanks. By the end of the day, they had filled dozens of bags with plastic, paper, and other junk.
They also worked with the local government to make new rules for factories. The rules said that factories had to clean their waste before putting it into the river. The government even gave some money to help the factories buy the right cleaning 112 .
Over time, the river started to get cleaner. The water became 113 clearer, and fish started to come back. The teens’ hard work had paid off. Ben said, “It wasn’t easy, 114 we showed that even kids can make a big difference. Now, we want to keep working on other environmental problems in our town.”
In the town, these teenagers’ actions not only saved their river but also inspired other young people to take care of the environment. Their story shows that when kids work together, they can change the world around them.
