“If mum finds out that I'm going to the beach, I'll be in big trouble.” I said to myself softly in a low voice.

I went downstairs slowly and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, mum asked without looking up from her “dish-washing”, “Where are you going?” I answered back without hesitation,“ I am going to the garden to play.” After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sign of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed,

After half an hour I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends, Jimmy and Bobby. Two young men were racing in the canoes (独木舟). After a while, I saw them near a coconut tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunk (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played volleyball happily.

Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was going to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I declared to help get the ball for them.

I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in

an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was going to get the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed （海草）tangled (缠绕) up with my feet and I could not swim properly.

I struggled to keep afloat but it was no use. “ If I had listened to my parents, this would never have happened,” I thought silently.

Paragraph 1

Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater.

With more than 90 million vlogs available online, and 2,000 posted every hour on the YouTube video-sharing site, CBS News says they are mainstream with people born after 1995.

【2】 More young Chinese people have become inspired to grab a camera and recount the details of their day on Sina Weibo, Bilibili or WeChat Moments.

“The most important thing about vlogging is to tell a good story. Other visual effects are auxiliary (辅助的),” wrote US vlogger Casey Neista, who has almost 10 million subscribers on YouTube.

Chinese vlogger Wang Xiaoguang is an example of a good storyteller. In one of his popular vlog posts, Wang tells the story of traveling to Japan. While there, he took a ride in the wrong direction and got lost. Worse, he forgot to bring a phone charger. 【3】

Another key aspect of vlogs is that the content is based on everyday life, according to Ouyang Nana, 18, a young Chinese musician. She documents her life at Berklee College of Music. Ordinary as vlogs are, as many as 15 million fans share her wows and woes (喜怒哀乐) on a daily basis.

【4】 Peng Yixuan, a news reporter with China Daily, recorded her first experience attending and reporting on the two sessions in March of this year. With a relaxed, chatty and personal approach, she presented the conferences, “bringing more warmth” to the grand political event, according to People’s Daily.

F.Luckily he was able to borrow money from a stranger and escape trouble.

G.Vloggers have these techniques in mind as they film their daily activities.

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. 【1】 The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do，but how we behave when we don’t know what to do.

The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. If he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. 【2】 Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, out of entirely set of attitudes.

Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright，or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, unite himself with it. 【3】 On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. 【4】 The dull child is usually afraid to try at all, It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once； if that try fails, he is through.

A. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life.

B. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another.

C. He takes it for granted that he is the most intelligent guy in the world.

D. He continues his pursuit until he finally succeeds.

E. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations.

F. There is no wall between himself and life.

A lot of people have dreamed 【1】 becoming a singer .

Sometimes they may play to 【4】 (passer-by) in the street and later they may give performances in pubs or clubs. 【5】, Monkees started in a different way. They began 【6】 a TV show. The TV organizers put 【7】 advertisement in a newspaper to look for four musicians but they could only find one. So they had to use actors. The actors couldn't sing well and they just pretended 【8】 (sing). Anyhow their performances were popular. 【9】 (unlucky), the band broke up in 1970, but they reunited in the mid-1980s.

The Silk Road was a passage for the transportation of silk in ancient times. Lots of relics on the road can still 【1】 (see) now. From the relics, tourists can see the outline of the ancient metropolitan(大都市) areas along【2】 fantastic road. In the tour packages, tourists can imagine 【3】 (they) to be ancient merchants by riding camels in deserts.

The Silk Road is a long route, 【4】 Xi'an in the east to Gansu province and Xinjiang region in the west. If it is your first trip to China, we 【5】(sincere) suggest you should spend at least ten days visiting Beijing, Xi'an, Dunhuang, Urumqi and Kashgar. You could get to know about the history of China and experience 【6】 (color) scenery along the Silk Road.

If you are an experienced traveler 【7】 (want) to explore China fully, it is recommended 【8】 you travel to Dunhuang, Zhangye, Jiayuguan, Turpan, Kashgar and Urumqi to follow the footprint of Marco Polo. This route may take about 15 days. If you have only a one-week holiday, the 【9】 (choose) of three most famous cities will be fit for you.

Along the Silk Road route, Xi'an and Gansu province are suitable to visit all-year round. The best time 【10】 (visit) Xinjiang region is from May to October because the weather is mild.

The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.

Dr.Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.

Parents should watch for signs of depression-eating or mood changes-and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
