Once upon a time， a group of men came to a rainforest． They would（1） （参加） a race there． One night， when they sat down for food， （2） dog appeared． Slowly， it came （3） （靠近，接近） them． It looked hungry， so they gave it some meat． As a r（4） ， the dog followed them everywhere．
The men（5） （加快速度） many times to prevent the dog（6） following them． But each time it（7） （赶上） them． They went（8） with their race， which included hiking， c（9） a mountain， and running． It lasted for several days．
One day， they went boating to a destination（目的地）． They thought the dog might（10） （放弃）．Surprisingly， the dog jumped into the river and swam towards their boat．They were so m（11） by the dog that tears came to their eyes and they let the dog into the boat．
When the race was over， they were all t（12） ， and wanted to have a rest． Just then， they found the dog was covered with wounds． （13） save the dog， they decided to take it to the hospital． After it r（14） the treatment， it got better soon．
Now the men regard it as one of their family（15） /ˈmɛmbəz/．
As we know，museums are buildings where many valuable and important exhibits （展品） are kept so that people can go and see them．For example，art museums are places where people can learn about （1） v cultures．More and more popular "design museums" that are opening today，however，perform quite a different role．Unlike most art museums，the design museum shows exhibits that are easily found in our daily life ，such as fridges and washing （2） m ．
The advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits．Being different from the art museum visitors，design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled．This is partly （3） b design museums clearly show how and why mass﹣products （批量产品） work and look （4） a they do，and how design has improved our lives．Art museum exhibits，on the other hand，would most probably （5） f visitors with a feeling that there is something out of their understanding．
Several new design museums have opened their doors in recent years．Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public' s （6） g interest in the field with new ideas．
London' s Design Museum，for example，shows a collection of mass﹣produced exhibits （7） f electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish﹣tins．The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than （8） t to art museums，and visitors may also （9） s humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and （10） u attractive（有吸引力的）toys collected from our everyday life．
Kate and Dick were classmates． They （1）____（相处） well with each other and later fell in love． After getting m（2）____， they found it difficult to （3）____（谋生）．
Finally， they decided（4）____run a small restaurant near the railway station． The restaurant often stayed o（5）____ until after midnight， because people came to drink there while they were（6）____（等待） trains．
At two o'clock one morning，（7）____ man was still sitting at a table in the restaurant． He was（8）____ [ə'sli：p]． Kate wanted to go to bed． She looked at the table several times， and each time the man was still there． Then，（9）____（最终） she went to her h（10）____ and said to him， "You've talked to that man three times， and he isn't drinking any more．（11）____ haven't you sent him away？ After （12）____， it's so late．"
"Oh， no， I don't want to send him away，" a（13）____ Dick with a smile． "You see， whenever I （14）____（叫醒） the man， he asks for the bill， and when I bring it to him， he p（15）____ it． Then he goes back to sleep again．"
Dick was a smart young man whose parents were not rich．He had to work in his s（76） time．He managed to go to university，but it was so expensive to study there（77） he found it necessary to get（78） （至少） two part-time jobs at the same time so as to（79） （确保）that he could get enough money for his studies．
One summer he got a job in a shop which sold meat（80） the day﹣time and another job in a hospital at n（81） ．On the one hand，in the shop，he learned to（82） （切碎） meat quite nicely，so the（83） [bɒs]of the shop often let Dick do all the business while he was out．In the hospital，（84） （另一方面）he was，of course，only allowed to do some simple work，such（85） helping to lift people and to carry them from one part of the hospital to another．Both in the shop（86） at the hospital，Dick had to w（87） white clothes．
One evening at the hospital，Dick was asked to look after a women．When he e（88） the room，the women was surprised．"I wonder how you could find me here，"the women said，"I forgot to pay（89） the meat I bought yesterday and went home direct，but I didn't do that（90） （故意的）"
The villagers in Mhangeni， Africa． faced a very big challenge（挑战）．They didn't have a school for their kids．
Then the village elder thought of an （1）i ． He said that there was an old， abandoned （废弃的）farmhouse． It could be changed into classrooms after cleaning and furnishing（装设备）it． All the villagers were （2）p with his suggestion and started the project immediately． The parents repaired the broken walls． Some villagers （3）d the house into three classrooms by using pieces of wood． The others helped make desks and chairs for the students． Still， there was much more work to do． But the rains were coming． They had to （4）s working for the school as it was now the best time for them to plant．
So the children of Mhangeni decided to finish the house by （5）t ．They had to hurry as summer had ended and other schools had already opened． They didn't want to delay（耽搁） their studies． Every day they were busy with cutting the grass and clearing the bushes（灌木）．
The news about the project （6）s and many people knew it． Two teachers who worked for the country's Department of Education arrived to help out． and two foreign visitors were also touched （感动） by the children's （7）a ．They donated money for them to buy textbooks and stationery．
After 10 days of hard work， the new school was （8）r ．The kids were very happy but a bit worried﹣they were behind in their studies．
Besides（除…之外）this， they also faced many （9）d ．There were not enough classrooms to hold all the students． And two or three students had to share one book．
However， the children are happy to study in school﹣（10）e in their new school which they helped to build． Though their school might not be modern， their dream of having a school near their homes has come true．
How do we know the time？ A clock，a watch or a cell phone can help us． However many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy． Over the centuries people have developed different w（1） of telling the time．
About 5，500years ago， the Egyptians i（2） the sun clock． This was a tall stone structure． Its shadow （影子）showed the movement of the s（3） they were able to determine（测定）midday．
About 3，500years ago，the Egyptians made a sundial． It was smaller than the sun clock and could measure （测量）the time for half a day． On c（4） days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial．
Water clocks were the f（5） clocks not to use the sun． The idea is simple． Water flows（流动） from one container（容器）to another． When the water reaches a certain l（6） it moves a lever （控制杆）and this shows the hours． The Egyptians used water clocks about 3，400years ago． These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China but they f （7） to keep accurate（精确的）time．
In the 13th century，the mechanical clock was invented． This was more accurate， b（8） was expensive to make． Over the next few centuries it was developed． For example， springs（发条）were added around 1500． This i（9） accuracy and allowed clocks to be smaller．
In 1927， the first quartz clock was developed． Clocks became cheaper to build and own． People began depending on them more and more to2 run businesses， markets and so on．
More recently， in1956， came the digital clock． And nowadays satellites（人造卫星）send our cell phones the time to the exact second． There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping but some things never c（10） ． Man of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not missing appointments．
Lan Lan，a student of Grade Seven in Lushan，was taking a drawing class in a tent on April 23．Guess what she drew--a house with wings．When the teacher asked why she did so，Lan said if her house could （81）f ，it wouldn't fall down in an earthquake．
Lan's hometown was hit by a（82）s earthquake on April 20．At least 196 people were killed and more than 11，000 were injured．Many people became homeless．Soldiers and doctors（83）q arrived in the area，saving people and rebuilding homes．Lots of money was sent there to help all those in need．
Although we can't prevent （阻止） an earthquake from happening，we can use some methods to （84）r harm．During an earthquake，do not jump out of high buildings because it is very （85）d ．Another method is to cover your head and neck （86）u a strong table or desk．If there is no shelter （躲避处） nearby，you can also stay by a wall，and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands．And then you must keep calm and stay there （87）u the shaking stops．
Japan is a （88）c which lies on the earthquake belt （地震带） and it is very good at dealing with earthquakes．From a very young age，the Japanese are already taught how to survive （幸存） them．Students often receive earthquake training．Almost in every Japanese family you can find a survival kit （救生装备） with a flash-light，a radio，water and enough food for several days．This helps people to stay （89）a after an earthquake．
"There should be more safety（90）t at schools in our country，"said Xu Jiannong，an education expert in Beijing．There is no more truth than this when one's life is the most important of all．
Pandas are now a symbol of China．Many people around the world （81）l pandas，too．Scientists say there are now fewer than 2，000 pandas living in the forests．Another 300 or so live in 2008 or research centers in China and other countries．Pandas do not have many babies，maybe only one every two years．The babies often （82）d from illnesses and do not live very long．Adult pandas （83）s more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo．Many years （84）a ，there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China，but then humans started to （85）c down these forests．As the forests get smaller and other human activities cause more problems，pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies．Luckily，Chinese government is taking actions to protect pandas．
"Meatballs again？I hate meatballs!" Henry cried loudly． "I'm not eating this!" Henry's mum and dad looked at each other．This was the second time this week that Henry had （1）c about his dinner．
"We're going to let you take over dinnertime．You can pick the food and cook your meals，'Mum said．
"Good．We're going to eat good food every night!" Henry answered．
The next day，Henry sat down to write the meal （2）p "We're going to have chicken tonight，and noodles tomorrow，" Henry said．
"Are we going to have anything （3）e besides chicken？We need to have at least one vegetable for each meal，"，said Mum．
"We can have cabbage，"Henry said．
After he finished shopping，it was time to make his （4）f meal．He believed that this would be his favourite meal．Since he had never cooked，his parents were both there to help him． "There's a lot to do，"Henry thought，as he looked at the mess in the kitchen．He was usually playing games outside while his parents were making dinner．
It took almost two hours to cook．When dinner was finally finished，Henry was tired and（5）h ．But he was so excited﹣he made dinner!
"I don't like cabbage，" cried Sophia，Henry's little sister，at the table．Henry felt quite upset．He had worked so hard on dinner，but it was（6）i to get everyone happy about every part of every meal!
"I'm sorry．I didn't know this could be so hard，" Henry felt like he might cry．He began to（7）r how his parents felt every time at the dinner table．
"It's OK，Henry．You worked really hard．We' ll take back dinner responsibilities． You'll have to do it enough when you're grown up，"Dad said．
Henry felt released．He happily finished his dinner and never got angry at dinner table again．
"Olyvia， love is simple． You don't have to do much to make someone happy． "That was what my mother said to me when I was a child． Over a year ago， I had a chance． My good friend Kaylee told me about her （1）t to a small town called Gary， and how it was a life﹣changing experience． I made up my mind to go there myself．
When I told my parents about the decision， they didn't （2）a at first． They said I didn't know much about the place． They were worried that it was not （3）s for me to go there． Thankfully， after I explained my plan to them in detail， they said yes．
When our group arrived in Gary， I noticed how different the town was from where I lived． There were few stores or restaurants in the town； most had closed． So you would be very （4）l if you could find a place to buy food or drinks． Houses were built on small hills． Many of them had broken doors or windows． My job was to help the local people to （5）r houses．The work days were long and hot， but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day．
The children there were also different． They seemed to enjoy every moment in life though they were poor． The smallest things would make these kids happy． I couldn't find words to describe their （6）j when they received an ice﹣cream， a ball or even a kiss． The community was like a big family． Everyone knew each other and was there when someone needed help．
I am so glad that I had this unforgetable experience． I truly learned the （7）m of what my mother said． You don't need to do much to make a difference to other's lives．
