My dad had to leave high school to support his mom and six brothers and sisters at the age of 16. He tells my brothers and me the stories of when he was our age.
One day, when he came home after school, he found a1on the door. It said that his family must move out of the house at once.
Smoking and drinking 2 all his dad's money, but my dad wasn't angry about it. Instead, when he remembered the happy times he had sat with his father enjoying football matches, he felt a little 3.
My dad's little sister would cry at birthday parties 4 she could never have one of her own at home. My brothers and I have had 5 every year, but we had my dad's first birthday party when he was forty.
He tell us to work hard and stay in school. We've heard it so much that sometimes we don't take it 6 But now I often think of his words： "There's 7 you can't do if you stay in school and work hard." I think my father's fate（ 命运） would be changed 8if he'd had just one person saying those words to him.
He works hard for 16 hours a day, so we can 9 a good home and do the things he never could.
My dad has always told me this, but now it's my turn. I am so 10 of you, Dad.
Teahouse is one of Lao She's most famous plays. He wrote it in 1957. The play has three acts and shows the lives of common people in China from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth century. It tells us the story of Wang Lifa and the customers of his teahouse in Beijing. It describes the changes in Chinese society over fifty years.
Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His mother sent him to a teacher's school in 1913. After finishing school in 1918, he became a head teacher of a primary school. In 1924, Lao She left home and went to England. He taught Chinese at a college in London and returned to China five years later. He wrote many plays, novels and short stories about people's lives, and was named "the People's Artist". Lao She is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the twentieth century.
At Lao She Teahouse today, customers can drink tea and cat delicious Beijing food. If you like the Beijing Opera, traditional music or magic shows, you can enjoy them at the teahouse. Lao She gives a warm welcome to everyone from all over the world.
Here comes Junior 3 year! This means that the high school entrance exam will arrive in less than a year. How will you get through the final year of middle school and get ready for the big exam? We invited two students to share their thoughts.
Zeng Qingmian, 15, Jiangxi
I got a score of 730 out of 750 on the big exam. Junior 3 was quite stressful and it was even harder for a boarding school（寄宿学校）student like me. I needed to make detailed plans-not only for studying, but also daily chores like washing my clothes.
I was highly focused during class and tried to remember everything my teachers said. To me, this is far more effective than spending time doing exercises after class. During self-study time at night, I took every chance to ask teachers questions. I also counted time while doing quizzes. This helped improve my learning efficiency.
I didn't have many review materials. My method was to make up my own questions. After solving a math problem, for example, I would design my own problems that used the same concepts（理念）share their thoughts.
Huang Ziyi, 15, Beijing
I got a score of 560 out of 580 on the high school entrance exam. For me, knowing my strengths and keeping a stable mind are necessary to make progress. The competition in Beijing is fierce. Many students have tutors. I once took a coding class, but found that I wasn't good at it. So I gave up and focused more on what I'm good at.
I have applied this principle（原则）to my studies. I go over the key points of each unit to strengthen my skills in subjects like physics and math. When taking a test, I usually don't pay attention to the questions I don't know and try to solve them at the end if there is still some time left. One should learn to stay calm in situations like these. Don't worry too much about the result of one test as long as you are learning and improving.
Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks suggests that sharks don't like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark didn't die after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?
There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don't have hands or feet, the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.
Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones. It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don't have hands, and they can't pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that's why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!
Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a shark attack attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.
Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.
