The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about twelve hours, with     user about thirty-two hours, and the lowest user only five hours.
All the children said they usually used computers       . Fourteen children told us they did some word processing (文字处理)      . Only two of them said computers      their lessons, and eight children told us they kept addresses and phone numbers in their computers or used      to write diaries.

My mother says she probably wouldn’t love butterflies（蝴蝶）today if it weren’t for Mr. Patti.
When my mother Ada was a kid, she loved playing baseball and she wanted to       for the New York Yankees. Then her brother Howie pointed out that there weren’t any women playing major league baseball（棒球联赛）. Ada realized he was right. That made her so angry that she started throwing baseballs into the air and hitting them as         as she could.
One day Ada hit a ball through Mr. Patti’s window. She was about to run away when a bright yellow butterfly flew through the hole in the window. A blue butterfly         . Then a lot of colourful butterflies flew out like a rainbow（彩虹）. Ada       to open her arms and catch the butterflies.
It was too bad she didn’t       she heard Mr. Patti shouting, “Hey! You there!” Ada almost jumped 12 feet. When she landed, Mr. Patti handed her a net and a box. He pointed to the butterflies. “One hundred butterflies. We need to get them all back. Go!”
Running with the net, Ada began to catch some of the butterflies. By the end of the day, her
    was filled with butterflies ― including the bright yellow butterfly. There were still 13 butterflies missing. Mr. Patti showed Ada pictures         had taken of the missing butterflies. The photographs were so beautiful that she could hardly catch her breath.
“      do you get them to stay still（静止的，不动的）?” Ada asked.
“I’ll show you,” Mr. Patti replied.
And he did. He taught my mother everything he knew about photographing butterflies. That’s her          now. It is good because there still aren’t any women playing in the major leagues.
“I’ll never forget that day,” my mother says. “Breaking that window changed my         .” Then she goes into her workroom, which is filled with swirling butterflies.

“Never give up!” It is my law of life. It has brought me       . I learned the law from my father’s           story.
My father was          in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then          in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework           midnight. Life was hard, because they had no         !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where          people can become rich.
“         don’t I go to America?”he thought to himself, full of hope.
So my father came to America. “I had thought it was easy to         money in America,”he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire me because I spoke          English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables,       dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was          for the first few years. I worked from 10 am to 11 pm. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t         the schooling.”
My father       working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,”he often says to me. “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come          in life.”That is what I learned from my father.

As we know, everyone has problems. And       we don’t deal with our problems, we can easily become unhappy. So how do we deal with our problems? Here are some ways.
By learning to forget
Most of us have probably been         with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn't like, or you felt unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may        .
Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements, and decide          to each other. However, this usually does not.             for long. This is an important.          for us: we can solve a problem        learning to forget.
By regarding problems as challenges
Many students often complain about        . They might feel they have       work to do sometimes, or think the school rules are too       We must learn how to change these "problems" into "challenges". Education is an important part of our development.       young adults, it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education        the help of our teachers.
By thinking of something worse
By comparing.          to other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist,      regards his many physical problems as unimportant. He can't walk       even speak, but he has become very famous and successful. Don’t worry about problems. Let's face the challenges instead.

My life, as it really is, is always filled with sadness and little joy. However, no matter what happens, I can always face it        .
In July, last year, I couldn't believe the news that I was       to enter the only key high school in my hometown. Then I rushed to my home and told my parents. But my father didn't seem as          as I was. He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn't help _       .
What I saw didn't make me surprised. I knew very well _     my family was like. My mum had been in bed for two years because of her disease. I knew my family lived a hard life and couldn't afford my tuition fee(学费). I felt so upset at that moment but I could say          to my parents.
I decide to help my father with his work to support my family instead of        my schooling.
To my surprise, things completely changed just three days before the beginning of the new term. My head teacher who had taught me three years came to my family with some money, which had been raised(筹集) by my schoolmates. He encouraged me, “Always have     .”
At the same time, my father also earned some extra money, he tried his best to afford part of my tuition fee.
I knew I was such a lucky dog and decided to study harder in return. With tears in my eyes, I stepped into the key high school         I had dreamed of.
I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. Whenever I meet difficulties, I always think of my teacher and schoolmates, and I can always get enough courage to go on. Because I have a college dream and must work hard for it no matter how hard life is. Just as a saying goes, “When one door shuts,       opens in life.”
