Is it stressful and boring working at Google?Not at all!In fact,Google has the (71)b working environment among the big companies(公司)in the United States.
The working environment is quite relaxing at Google.The company encourages employees(雇员)to do (72)w they want in the office.They can write down their ideas on the wall.When they are (73)t ,they can take breaks on the sofa.Animal lovers can (74)e bring their pets to work.
Google is home to every employee.There are game rooms,hair salons(店,厅),restaurants and gyms.(75)A work,employees can have a swim in the swimming pool or enjoy a massage (按摩).The company (76)a encourages them to learn new things.It offers a number of interesting free courses such as sign language,cooking,drawing and playing the piano.
There is an interesting rule at Google﹣no one should be 35meters away from (77)f .
Coffee bars and open kitchens are everywhere.All food is free.There are thousands of different dishes in the main restaurant.One of its managers says,"We care for our employees'(78)h ,so we encourage them to have healthy food.Our research shows that if people are provided with enough food,they make better choices."
To work hard and work well,you need to (79)l what you are working on and where
you are working.Google believes that an interesting and pleasant (80)s helps people think more creatively.So it is trying hard to keep its title(头衔)as the happiest workplace in the world.

As we all know,the environment around us is getting worse and worse.Some chemical factories always pour(1) (废弃的)water into the(2) (河流).And they also(3) (产生)terrible gas.In some places,some people even have no clean water to drink.So I think we must do something to protect the environment.
How to protect the environment?First,as a student,we should use cloth bags instead of(4) (塑料的)bags when we go shopping.(5) (第二),we'd better reuse the old textbooks as possible as we can.Third,we should never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the classrooms.In a word,we must try our best to protect our environment.I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.
One afternoon,I went into an art museum while waiting for my husband.I hoped to enjoy the works of art quietly.
A young couple walked in front of me and talked (61)a the paintings between themselves all the time.The lady did almost all the talking,but the man kept listening to her.I thought the man was
very patient (62)b nobody would like to be bothered (打扰) while enjoying the paintings.
I met them several (63)t as I moved through the different rooms of the art museum.Each time I heard her talking,I moved (64)a quickly.
I was (65)p for some gifts at the museum shop when the couple walked slowly to the exit (出口).Before they left,the man (66)t out a cane (拐杖).Then he tapped (轻敲) his way to the coatroom to (67)g the jacket for his wife.
"He is a brave man,"the worker of the shop said."He decided not to change his life after his eyes
got hurt.Though he is (68)b now,he never gives up.He and his wife come here whenever there is a new art show."
"But what can he get out of the art?He can't see!"I asked.
"You are wrong.He (69)s a lot,more than you and I do."The worker said,"His wife describes (70)e painting so he can see it in his mind."
I fell silent.Then I realized that I learnt something about patience,courage and love that day.
If you've ever stayed up late and then gotten up early the next day, you know what it's like not to get enough sleep. It's very uncomfortable feeling. In fact, for many years scientists (1) (believe) that sleep is like food ﹣ if we don't get enough of it, we might get sick or even die. But now they (2) (start)to wonder just how much sleep we need.
Researchers at Imperial College London did a study on fruit flies(果蝇). They found that flies that slept for very short periods of time ﹣ about72 minutes a day ﹣still(3) (live) about as long as flies that slept for normal amounts of time. One of the female slept for just 4 minutes each day on average. This has led the researchers to wonder if sleep is less necessary than we previously thought.
Humans are very different from fruit flies. Sleep(4) (help) repair tissue (组织) when our bodies perform a lot of maintenance (维护). Sleeping allows our bodies(5) (get) well again from the stress we experience each day.
But can we really die from not seeping? No humans have died so far from (6) (stay) awake for too long. The current(现在的)world record for sleeplessness (7) (hold) by Randy Gardner from the US, who stayed awake for 11 days and 25 minutes in 1964.
Scientist have not yet found any animals that don't sleep at all. Even animals that only seep for short periods are not completely sleepless.

When you are busy doing piles of math homework, have you ever stopped and thought about one question:why do we need to learn all this math anyway?
It's an interesting question. Kids around the world (1) it for ages. For US students, they may get the answer from a new show called "MathAlive!".

At another station, math skills help visitors (3) the NASA robot outside a space station virtually (虚拟的). By doing such activities, kids learn why math is important in our life.
Where else can you find math used every day? Actually, if you go down deep enough into anything, you(4) math. Think of simple things, like clocks.

Even when you (5) math, it's all around you. The computer you use to surf the Internet is a machine to do binary math very fast. The house you live in is designed by people who use lots of geometry(几何学). So enjoy math, not for exams, but for the wonderful world's helps to build.

(invite) him to take a Chinese culture course. Then, at 9:30 a.m. the next day, it finally came. He followed the friend to the classroom and was welcomed (4) his classmates. They gave him presents, which moved and excited him.
The lesson was about an ancient Chinese character (字体) called Xiaozhuan. The teacher (5) (clear) explained it from its history to development, how it worked in society and why it was so popular in Qin Dynasty. She also taught the differences between Xiaozhuan(6) the modern Chinese character.
On the one hand, Xu Yi takes pride in Chinese culture. On the o(7) hand, it's a shame that he knows almost nothing about it. As the culture reaches the world, the Chinese should study more about it. As a senior high school student, he is going to read as many(8) (book) as possible to open his mind. He hopes every Chinese person will love and (9) /ˈvæljuː/Chinese culture. After all, everyone is responsible for building and keeping it.
