When I was in Grade Eight, one thing made me sad. I could never get good grades in my1 exam.
One day, I talked to my mom about that. She asked me to think about the2 . I thought about it seriously. And then I3 what my problem was.
"Mom, the math questions are really4 . So I work them out quickly."
"Oh?" Mom listened carefully.
"Yes. They're so easy that I get careless. Sometimes I take notes (笔记)5 in class. And when I see them again, I can't understand them."
"I see," Mom said. "Good6 habits are important. Although you are clever and quick, you are not careful enough."
"You're right, Mom. I will try to be7 and careful, too."
"You cannot learn things well in a short time. You should keep on practicing it8 you use it easily."
"I will keep your word in my heart, Mom."
After that, I9 my learning habits. I studied as carefully as I could. When I did math exercises, I would read each word and find the key words. Then I connected (联系) them with what I learned, so I could do the exercises right.
You know what? A few weeks later, I did finally get a(n)10 grade in math! What a difference good habits make!
Dear football,
I'm writing this letter to you because I won't be a professional (职业的) football player any more.
We first met 25 years ago. At that time, playing football was not easy for girls. I was the only girl in the team. There was no women's football on TV.
Sometimes I thought about leaving you because some people kept saying something bad to me on the Internet. I don't make much money in football. I play football because I love the game.
Some people say that you're just a sport, but you teach me so much. Because of you, I learn how to work with others. You also make my dream of playing in the US come true.
Now I feel that people respect (尊重) me for being a good player, and more importantly, for helping move the women's game forward.
Soon I will start a new chapter (篇章) in my life. Now I can't tell what I'm going to do next. But I can say that I'll keep working to drive the women's game forward.
Thank you, dear football, for everything you've given me.
Eniola Aluko

"What did I do to get this?" "Why do these things always happen to me?" You may often ask questions like these. If so, listen to a story.
A girl was always upset because she had many problems in her life—her schoolwork, problems with friends... She told her father about her hard life.
After hearing the daughter's words, the father said, "I will make something delicious for you." He walked into the kitchen, and the daughter followed.
The father asked her, "My dear, would you like a piece of cake?"
The daughter replied, "Sure, Dad! You know how I love cake!"
"All right," the father said, "drink some of the cooking oil (油)."
The daughter was very surprised and said, "What? No way!!!"
"How about a raw (生的) egg?" asked the father and the daughter answered, "No way!"
"How about some flour (面粉)?"
"No, Dad! I will be ill!"
The father laughed and said, "All of these are uncooked and taste bad, but if you put them together, they'll make delicious cake. Life works the same way. When we ask ourselves why there are so many difficult times, we don't see what a success these terrible events will bring us. Having a great day also means having a great CAKE! Keep the hope: One day your day is A PIECE OF CAKE!"
In the near future people will wear "smart clothes". People use them not only for covering their bodies, but also for many other kinds of uses.
Many kinds of smart clothes will come into the market. A clothes maker in America made the "MP3 blue jacket". People can use this kind of jacket as an MP3 player, and also a telephone. An English company (公司) made a cloth keyboard (键盘). You can put it in your trouser, so you can control (控制) your computer with it easily anywhere. When it gets dirty, you can wash it and make it clean.
With the improvement of the new technology (科技), smart clothes will get much smarter. Scientists are trying to make clothes show your body's temperature and warm you before you feel cold. There will be other kinds of smart clothes. They can tell the doctor when you are in danger. They can also show you important information about your environment. They can tell you about serious pollution.
People will love the ideas. It's possible that one day smart clothes will be common on the streets and even in your own home.
Cathy is a middle school student. She (keep) diaries as a habit. Last week, when Cathy got back home school, she found her parents reading her diaries. She was so angry that she had big fight with them. She (refuse) to talk to them for days. When she drew, her mom brought warm milk to her. She wanted to say "Thank you", she didn't.
She asked Miss Beck, an (understand) teacher, for help. Miss Beck said, "Everyone might make (mistake). Although it's wrong of your parents to do so, they want to know about you. No others will care about you (much) than your parents. Maybe they were just worried about you. And you don't talk to them, it will be difficult for them to know about the problem. So don't keep everything to (you). Talk to them and tell them what you expect them to do."
