If we don’t know how to learn about our personalities and values, we can think about how we solve problems 5 then we will find the answer. Our ways of 6 problems and our actions can reflect (反映) our personalities and values. If we learn from our mistakes instead of avoiding them, I’m sure we’re active and 7 people.

Therefore, it is a nice way to get to know ourselves through our experiences.
However, we should remember not to be misled (被误导) by others’ opinions. Some people may choose to give up being themselves in order to 9 others. We need to live a life according to our own ideas, and then we can 10 find out who we are. Stay true to yourself, and you’ll find our light.

The story of Beethoven gave Xiaoyang 34 courage. Beethoven was deaf, 35 he still created wonderful music. Xiaoyang realised that the 36 in music does not only depend on how skilled you are, but also on how much effort you put in.
Xiaoyang decided to take Beethoven 37 his role model. Every day, he practised playing the piano. When he faced problems, he tried his best to 38 them.
Finally, at the school art show, Xiaoyang played so well that everyone praised him. He said, “Reading excellent works of literature is very 39 for us. Also, when you decide to do something, stick to it and nothing is 40 .”

People see a stranger in trouble, they may have two 41 . Some people are willing to give a hand. But others may choose to take no 42 . If I were in this situation I would help the stranger without thinking twice.
Some people may think it is 43 to do this. We have all heard stories about people who have been blackmailed (敲诈) after offering help to a 44 . But on the other hand, helping others is a 45 virtue. There is a Chinese saying, “Give roses to 46 and the lasting fragrance (香味) will remain in hand.” Indeed, helping others just 47 helping ourselves. Any of us could end up in a situation where we need help from family, friends or even strangers.
More 48 , when we help strangers, we can pass on the spirit of 49 to them.
A story might explain it better. Once, an old man and his wife were travelling and wanted to find a 50 where they would stay for the night. However, when they walked into the only hotel they could find, they were told that no rooms were available (可获得). The couple was disappointed (失望) and said 51 . But before they left, the clerk said, “Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room It’s not exactly too big, but it will be good enough to make you comfortable for the night.” The old man turned back and offered money, which the clerk 52 . Many years later, the clerk had almost forgotten the thing when he received a letter inviting him to a hotel in New York. When he got there, he saw the old man, who told him that the hotel had been 53 in his name because of the kindness he showed that night.
We all have our own 54 to help others. It doesn’t matter what they are, as long as we give a helping hand. Don’t be afraid to touch someone’s life. You never know whose 55 you may be touching.

I would like to share some great ways to talk with the elders.
First, don’t be 91 to communicate with the elders. We can discuss our study progress and any difficulties we’re facing. We can learn a lot from them because they have rich experience. They can 92 us advice, and we should listen to them carefully. This allows us to keep learning and growing through their experience. Thus, we can 93 better how to solve difficult problems.
Sometimes, talking about hobbies is a good idea to connect with the elders. For example, my grandpa loves his 94 very much, so I often ask him about the flowers he grows.
Moreover, if we are interested in some special knowledge, we can ask the elders for advice. 95 of us should be shy to ask questions. They are experts (专家) in their own fields (领域). For example, when I was in the seventh 96 , I was crazy about volcanoes (火山). 97 , I thought of a geology professor (地质学教授) my uncle knew. After I called the professor, he shared lots 98 about volcanoes. I really learnt a lot from these articles.
Last but not least, when we talk with the elders, stand 99 to them. Listen carefully and respond actively. This makes them feel respected.

You should pay attention to some details when communicating. It is important to have a polite 101 . A friendly voice can make the conversation more comfortable.

If you 104 that you don’t understand what others are saying, you can ask them to say it again in a nice way. Don’t be shy. Remember not to have a 105 mind. Don’t always refute (反驳) their points. Just stay quiet and listen to them.
106 we talk to people, being kind is really important. For example, if your 107 is carrying heavy things, you can offer to help and say “Let me give you a hand.” Your words and 108 can really comfort him or her and make your neighbourhood better.

Recently, I had to give a short speech in front of 20 junior high students. It wasn’t a big deal. But I still felt a bit 111 .
It is no 112 that many people don’t like public speaking or are even scared of it. A survey shows that public speaking is most Americans’ 113 fear, even more so than 114 and insects (昆虫).
I don’t like to speak in public, 115 . In the US, we have to do it from time to time in high school and college (大学). We have to 116 presentations (课堂演示), usually for about 5 minutes.
Most people might worry that their audience won’t 117 them, or will make fun of them. Personally, I fear I might not have anything 118 to say.
But as it turned out (结果是), my speech for the students was pretty 119 . When speaking in public, all you can do is 120 to do your best, even if you are nervous.

I am a person who can get angry easily. But 121 I read an article from my English teacher, things have changed a lot.
I am 122 at a boarding (寄宿的) school, so I have to learn not only how to study well, but also how to get on with others. Some of us are 123 while others are quiet. It is 124 that people have problems and arguments in their school life. So what can we do to be tolerant (宽容的) when we are in trouble with our classmates
Smiling at others is the easiest way. Another way is to 125 if your ideas are reasonable (有道理的) and right before having an argument. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep a(n) 126 mind. Try to forgive (原谅) them. Having a friend is much 127 than having an enemy after all
Also, don’t point out (指出) others’ 128 in public. This will mean people lose face and get 129 . If you really want to help, send a letter instead. On the other hand, if someone points out your disadvantages (缺点), don’t be 130 . Just think this is a person who really wants to help you and become friends. Remember: Tolerance makes life easier.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) has been changing our lives in many ways. Recently, a new type of AI robot has come into people’s homes. It is called “HomePal” and it can help with a lot of housework.

Every morning, it can wake you up by playing your favorite music. Then, it can 157 breakfast for you. It knows how to make different kinds of food, from simple toast to delicious noodles.
After you go to school, HomePal starts to clean the house. It can sweep the floor, wipe the windows and even wash the dishes. It moves 158 so that it won’t knock over any furniture. When your parents come back from work, the house is always tidy and clean.
HomePal is also a good helper for students. When you have 159 with your homework, you can ask it for help. It can explain math problems 160 and tell interesting stories to help you relax. But it won’t give you the answers directly. Instead, it guides you to think on your own.

Technology (科技) is changing our lives every day. It makes our lives easier and more interesting.
Last month, I visited a really big and interesting science 166 . There were lots of cool things at the fair. Among all of them, the computers 167 caught my eye. They looked so modern and amazing!
Computers are truly 168 machines. They are not too big, 169 we can put them on our desks. We can do many things on them. For example, we can study on computers. We can 170 interesting e-books from the internet to read. These e-books are full of colourful pictures and fun stories. Also, we can 171 our friends who are far away by sending them puters 172 problems that stopped us from getting information quickly in the past. Now, with a computer, we can find answers to our questions 173 .
