Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling. One day, my mother was sewing a quilt (缝被子). I silently sat beside her.
"Mum, is there1between you and dad?" I asked in a very low voice.
With surprise in her eyes, she2her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread (线). It can hardly be seen,3it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."
I couldn't understand her4the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.
After they were back, my mother helped my father walk5on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.
After two months my father6couldn't walk by himself.
"Dad, how are you feeling now?" I asked him one day.
"Susan, don't7me," he said," I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life."8his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our9. Love is inside, making life10and warm.
My cousin Wang Hai loves to travel to new places and meet new people. He is quite1in travelling. He does not like to travel on a package tour（跟团旅行2, he would like to buy a guidebook for the place he is going to and search the Internet for information about the main sights.
Wang Hai loves this kind of travelling. Firstly, he doesn't have to pay3for his trip. Package tours usually4more because people have to pay for the costs of the travel agency（旅行社） and the tour guide. Secondly, he likes the fact that he does not have to wait for the tour group to5their photos or buy their souvenirs（纪念品）. If he has finished what he wants to do, he can leave and move on to the next place at once.
However, Wang Hai has had some6travelling all by himself. Sometimes he feels7and wishes that he had someone with him. Also, going to a different country on his own can be difficult and even8at times. Once, Wang Hai was in Africa and he could not speak the language. A strong man took away his bag on the train. He wasn't hurt, but he did not get his9back because the police could not understand him!
Wang Hai has had a few problems in the past,10he still likes to travel all by himself. He is learning English and he will travel to Australia at the end of this year.

So he had to go to school in a wheelchair （轮椅） .Luckily, his classmates would push him around the school. From primary school to high school, they were there to help Cheng out. They kept an eye on him and gave him hand on school days.
In 2010, when he was in primary school, eight students in Cheng's class formed a group to take care of him. This little bit of love cheered Cheng up and helped him become happy. In 2014. Cheng went to middle school. Six students in his class set up new group to make the" relay（接力赛） of love" go on.in2017, another six students took the "baton"（接力棒） and continued to help and care for Cheng in high school.

Once upon a time, a hippo(河马) lived in a river next to a big tree. One day, a bird came and nested(筑巢) in the tree. The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy(羡慕) that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings, nor claws to climb with. Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree, and began singing. Unfortunately, hippos can't sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises, and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
He was so ashamed by this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered(恢复).
In the year 2050,there will be different kinds of materials（材料）for clothes. Special materials will keep the clothes clean forever. They will never get dirty or wear out. We will have less work because we won't have to wash them. So we can save water and money. And children won't worry about what to wear to school every day. They won't go to school. They'll stay at home in front of their computers to study online. They can wear their favorite "Saturday clothes" every day. It will be fun. Do you think so? What do you think school clothes and school life will be like in 2050?
What kind of vehicle（交通工具） will you choose when travelling between provinces? Many may say trains now, the high-speed-railways（高速铁路）have connected most places of China.
China's high-speed railways are over 20,000 km in length. It is the world's longest and makes up 60 percent of the world's total high-speed-railway lines.
Besides length, China also does well in speed. China is the only country with trains running at 350 km an hour, such as the Beijing-Tianjin and Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railways.
With these surprising numbers, it's easy to forget that China wasn't an early starter in the high-speed rail game. Japan started half a century ago, while Germany did 20 years ago. China only began to build its high-speed railways 14 years ago.
China's high-speed-railways play an important role in many aspects（方面）."The high-speed railways not only bridge different places, but also connect people, information and goods. It greatly develops the economy（经济） in different areas, people's lives and tourism（旅游业）, said Huang Xin, an official from the China Railway Corp.
Yet, China's building of high-speed railways is still going on. The National Developmen and Reform Commission said in July that China plans to have 38,000 km of high-speed railways by 2025.
Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn't have any machines.
Life today has new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution makes our rivers and lakes dirty. It killed our fish and polluted our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It's bad to all living things in the world. Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before they pour it into the river.
We need to do some things, too. We can go to work by bus, on foot or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.
