Many children love animals. And Willow Phelps is one of (they). In fact, this American little girl not only loves animals, but she also has done really a lot for them. And (连词) she did these kind things, she won the2016 ASPCA(美国防止虐待动物协会) Kid of the Year.
Willows (love) for animals started early. When she was about 3 years old, her family took in (冠词)18-year-old cat. Under the care of Willow, the cat lived for another 3 years. After that, many old pets arrived in Willows home. So, Willow began to make plans to help more(animal).
With her mums help, Willow began running, swimming and even sewing(缝制)toys to(raise)money for animals in need of help. In her young life, she has (successful) completed the three projects. Finally, she raised $ 11,000. She also succeeded in (stop) the use of live goldfish as prizes at her school party. And what she did for goldfish was(notice)and rewarded (奖励) by the ASPCA.
I will continue to speak up for animals no matter how hard it is, "said Willow. Willow dreams of becoming an animal doctor(介词)the future. Let's hope this little girl's dream will come true.

There were many people on a bus. An old man (look) here and there. He wanted to find empty seat. Then he saw one and went to it. A small bag was on the seat. And a young man was beside it.
"Is this seat empty?" asked the old man.
"No, it's an old woman. She went to buy some bananas.” said the young man.
"Well, let me sit here, please. I'll leave here when she (come) back, "replied the old man.
After a few minutes, the bus started. "The old woman (not come), but her bag is here. Let me give her the bag. "Then the old man threw the bag out of the bus window.
The young man jumped up and shouted, "Don't throw! It's my bag!"
You have(probable) never heard of Amy Hayes, she is a most unusual woman. She never throws away things we(need) any more. She has always thought about how these things(put) to good use. She thinks that nothing is a waste. The windows and doors of her house come from old buildings around her town were pulled down. The top of is an old boat(turn) upside down. And the gate is made rocks and old glass bottles. Amy isn't the only one who is (recycle). Jessica Wong uses old clothes to make bags. She (do) this for a few years. Her bags are cute and useful.
When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks? If so, your teacher might have told you (stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦) as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.
One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.
Other people (suggest)other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you (have)a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.
Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown (write)a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown (believe)doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合)many ways of learning. You lean in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn.
And when you doodle while you (listen)to a lecture, you use all four.
You might think that being good at (draw)is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

A Spring Morning
This spring morning in bed I'm lying,
Not to awake till the birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
This poem (write) by Meng Haoran (689-740), who lived during the Tang Dynasty. It might be one of the (famous) Poems about spring in China. People like to read it they wake up on a spring morning.
Meng didn't directly say how much he loved spring. Instead, he wrote about the details(细节） of the season：the birds，wind， rain showers and fallen flowers． His descriptions（描述）of these things showed (we) the joy he felt during springtime.
Meng chose to write about the sounds of spring. These sounds allow readers (picture) spring using their own imagination.
