My sister Jenny told me an unusual experience about a special test. She had it in the first year of her middle school.

It was a few minutes before the final1exam. Jenny and her classmates were in the classroom, waiting for 2 history teacher Mr. Smith to come. Although everyone worked really hard at history, some of them were still a little 3 as Mr. Smith was a strict teacher. When it was 8 o'clock, Mr. Smith came with the exam papers 4 his hand. He said, "I know how hard you have worked for this test and you all can do it well, so you can get a B 5 you don't want to take the lest."

Many students jumped up to 6 Mr. Smith and left the classroom. Mr. Smith 7 the rest of the students and said, "Does 8 else want to get a B? This is your last chance." Two more students decided to go.

Jenny and other seven students were still in the classroom. Mr. Smith then handed them the 9. They all felt so 10 because there were only three sentences on the paper, "Congratulations! You 11 an A in this test. Keep believing in yourself."

I think Jenny is so lucky because she had such a test and a good 12. It is true that the students who do not believe in themselves are usually B students or maybe even worse. The A students 13 believe in themselves. They have learned more and have become 14 people. All of us should remember 15  we can learn from the teacher.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar(农历), all Chinese people celebrate one of their traditional festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival. Their celebrations include eating zongzi, rice wrapped in reed leaves in the shape of a pyramid, racing dragon boats and sticking mugwort leaves on their doors.

In 2007, the central government decided to add the Dragon Boat Festival, together with two other traditional festivals—Tomb-Sweeping Day(清明节) and the Mid-Autumn Festival—to the list of public holidays.

According to tradition, our ancestors(祖先) believed the hot weather in midsummer might cause different kinds of diseases(疾病). So to keep off diseases and drive out evil were the main purposes of the Dragon Boat Festival. Parents used colorful threads to make necklaces and bracelets(手镯) for children, gave them beautiful embroidered bags(荷包), and painted the Chinese character for the "king"(wang) on their foreheads to drive away bad luck. The Dragon Boat Festival was also called "the kids festival" in some places. Spending such happy hours with parents, young children began to understand the festival as well as the traditions and culture behind it. Repeating the customs year by year makes it possible for kids to learn the traditions, accept them and pass them on when they become adults.

It is believed in some ways that a daughter is her father's lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague figure(模糊的形象) to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.

When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy.

I remember when I was in middle school, my head was once badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded man.

But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony, where I was chosen to represent(代表) my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and might be unable to show up. "Don't come. I will be nervous if I see you." I told him.

I remember my speech went well. When the ceremony was over and I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed my father sitting in a corner of the hall. I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. "Well done," he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.

Later, I discovered that my father was busy with Zhuhui-Hong Kong-Macao Bridge(珠港澳大桥) project by staying up late. He drove for eight hours to get back. He sat in the corner because he didn't want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.

For much of my life, I thought my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work, But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously(明显地) not true. At my graduation ceremony, I could feel my father's deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don't perceive(感知) the world with our hearts and minds. There's no doubt that life doesn't lack(缺少) love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.

In summer, the high heat always makes you feel uncomfortable. Have you ever thought about getting through the hot summer without air conditioners(空调)? Actually to stay cool and comfortable, you can try lots of natural ways.

Drink water more often. Your body will feel cooler if you do that. Try drinking at least eight bottles of water every day. Adding orange, lemon or tomato pieces to your water makes it more refreshing.

Freeze a handkerchief(手帕) and put it on your neck, arms or legs. When the handkerchief heats up, simply wet it and put it back in the fridge. You can also put an ice bag behind your head.

Wet your wrists(手腕), your neck and your inner elbows with cool water for seconds each. This will lower your temperature for a little bit. A cool bath can help you feel more comfortable before you go to bed on a hot day.

With the right ways, you can avoid the heat while saving money by turning off the air conditioner.

A Christmas Carol is a famous short written by Charles Dickens. It is about an old man named Scrooge who never laughs smiles. He is mean and only thinks about (he). He doesn't treat others (nice). He just cares about whether he can (make) more money and he (hate) Christmas. One Christmas Eve, Scrooge sees the ghost of Jacob Marley, his dead business partner. Marley used to (be) just like Scrooge, so he was (punish) after he died. He warns Scrooge (change) his ways if he doesn't want to end up like him. He also tells Scrooge (expect) three spirits to visit him.
