When I checked their work, Zhang Rui was the first to 3 his story "Since my sister was born, she has become the focus and caught the 4 of the whole family. I felt left out and unhappy," Zhang Rui said "They were not angry with me. Instead, they comforted（安慰）me. When I said ‘love you', they were 5 but moved"
As soon as Zhang Rui sat down, many students 6 their hands actively. Du Yang got the chance. "My father and I had a(n) 7 one month ago. After that, we 8 spoke to each other. When I went back home with the task, I took courage, 9 forward and said, ‘Dad, I just want to tell you that I love you' My father's face softened and his eyes watered.

According to a recent survey by Xinhua Research Center, Chinese people prefer buying local brands over foreign brands. The first China Brand Day fell on May 10. 2017. A lot of activities take place to help Chinese brands develop across the country on that day every year. Let's take a look at the results of the survey.
In the past, "Made in China" made people think of cheap and poor quality（质量差的）products. But that seems to be changing. Chinese people show a lot of interest in low price good quality and creative design（设计）. Experts say Chinese brands will continue to be more popular over the next 10 years.
Mary Armstrong was a pretty little girl, but she did not pay attention to her things. She usually left her books and playthings everywhere, and it gave her mom much trouble in picking them up and putting them in the proper places. Some of her books and toys became spoiled（损坏）. Her mom had often told Mary the bad result of being so careless. The growing habit of carelessness would make her unhappy, and sometimes annoy her friends. Even worse, it would be of great harm to her all her life. But Mary didn't listen to her mom. So they argued a lot.
One day, Mary made a beautiful toy, a gift for her best friend's birthday. When her mom asked her to go out into their yard to play, Mary put the toy in her room casually（不经意地）. She ran around and played happily there. An hour later, it was time to go to her friend's birthday party. Mary went back to get the toy. But she couldn't find it anywhere. Finally, she found the toy broken in the corner. At once she realized that Dash, her pet dog had done this, and she was very angry. Carrying the broken toy to her mom, she couldn't help crying.
Mrs. Armstrong asked Mary if she had left the toy in the place where Dash could easily get it, and Mary answered, "Yes, mom."
"Then you should not be irritated, Mary, because the dog does not know it is wrong to play with your toy. I hope this will be a lesson to you hereafter, to put your things away when you finish."
"I will try," said Mary. And her mom promised to repair the toy as well as she could.

One of my favorite books is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. The story happens in a town in the US. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures （冒险）.
Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. One day, Tom discovers the secret of a bad man named Injun Joe, so the bad man is looking for him. Tom firstly runs away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Later, he runs into a cave（山洞）with a friend. They find Injun Joe's treasure box unexpectedly and arrive home safely with it.
My favorite part of the book is when Tom and his friend start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But hearing that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry. So they come back home. When they suddenly appear, the family and neighbors are surprised to see them, but very pleased to find that they are alive.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book. First of all, it tells a wonderful adventure story. It also tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people p for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.
German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of students a problem to work out. Group One went to sleep, and Group Two stayed awake.
At the same time, from a recent study many children have missed out on
4.500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. According to the Ministry of Education, primary school students should get at least 10 hours of sleep a night. The answer is nine. If they don't get enough sleep at night, they will face more challenging situations in schoolwork.
Schools are taking action to make sure the students can get enough sleep. Three reasons are mentioned for the problem. Firstly, they spend hours in scrolling（滚动）, such as Douyin and Wechat. Hours of watching the mobile phones can be harmful to their eyes and cause students to sleep less. They may work overtime to get the job finished and they can't watch over the kids. Lastly, drinks like tea or coffee can also keep them excited and awake.
For example, they should avoid using mobile phones too much, and drink something like milk before going to bed.
Only if schools, families and students join hands together, can students get enough sleep and be at their best in schoolwork.
A. But researchers say many students still sleep less.
B. In fact, students themselves should also take sleep seriously.
C. Secondly, busy parents may not remind them to go to bed at the proper time.
D. Then how many hours of sleep should junior high school students get a night?
E. The result showed the students who slept worked out the answer more quickly.
