I was very unhappy. "Another 1 day at school?" Papa asked as I came into the room. Over the past two months I had 2 thrown my bag across the room every time I came home from    3  . Papa thought it had 4 to do with moving to a new house.

    "I know this 5 has been hard on you. Leaving your friends behind is painful, "Papa said." But what you must 6 is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends. "

    "You don't know how 7 it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won't even give me a 8 to pitch(当投手) here. All I get to 9 is right field(右外场), and that's the worst!"

    Papa turned toward me, "Things will get better, I 10 you. Do you know 11 you were named David Lorenzo? "

    "Yes, your name is David and Grandfather's name is Lorenzo."

    "And what makes your grandfather so 12  ?"

    "He was the first in the family to 13 this country, "I answered.

    "That is only partly correct. In Mexico your grandfather had been a (n) 14. When he came to America he could only get manual labor(体力劳动) jobs 15 he didn't speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be 16 to teach here, but he did it, "said Papa.

    Papa continued, "Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will 17 you for who you are. I remember that 18 and when you were born I want you to always remember what my father taught me, 19 it takes a few years for people to see who you are. "

    Back in freshman year, I found myself wondering whether it should really be called "volunteering" if students only do it because they have to.

    I ended up volunteering at Weyrich Health Center, helping elderly patients with daily tasks. The more I did these tasks, the more disconnected I felt from the seniors. Though I felt bad for them, I did not want to interact with them.

    Then one rainy day, I met Colonel Hems worth. He invited me to his table and asked for some company. I regarded this as another boring task. However, when I listened to his stories, I learned that he was a brilliant war veteran(老兵), and I found his tales interesting.

    After my brief talk with Colonel, I realized that I shared common characters with all the seniors. I felt like an oxygen molecule(分子)—ready to form a relationship—rather than an isolated gas.

    I met with many learned senior citizens who shared their experiences and wisdom. No longer did I walk aimlessly down the hallways. I found myself enjoying talking with these people as I learned their histories. Why hadn't I realized sooner that volunteer work could enlighten me?

    Some people argue that volunteering and working for change does not help. However, they fail to realize that the world is constantly changing and humans must adapt. My experience at Weyrich Health Center has taught me that refusing to change one's views and accept new ones leads to short-term goals that finally disappear. Communication with others is an important part of life. Volunteering is not just a requirement or a way to improve your resume; it is a time for service and personal growth.

    Now I enjoy volunteering my time surrounded by seniors who bring history alive for me. By communicating with them, I have developed into a more dynamic person.

In order to find, the police visited a great many citizens.

    Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.

    David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.

    Dr. Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.

    He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy. "

    And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr. Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying 'You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls? During the breeding(繁殖) season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep. "

    Although Dr. Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.

    However, some birds thrive(兴旺) in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌) fleeing to quieter areas.

    The winter holiday is coming. As middle school students, my best friend Li Ming and I are going to do something meaningful.……

—Oh，very good.You can't find ________ one in this city.

    Last Friday, my friend David called me and invited me and our friend Tom to a party in his university. Tom and I are in same class. We both wanted to go to the party, but there was a problem--we'd have a final exam on the (come) Monday.

    “Don't worry. We can come back on Sunday and won't miss the exam,” really (want) to go to the party, Tom said. So I decided to go him.

    The party was great and we (true) enjoyed ourselves there. However, we stayed up late on Saturday night and slept all day on Sunday and didn't make it back to our university until Monday morning. We missed the exam. Then we went to our professor's office and explained we missed the exam. We lied that there was a flat tire（车胎漏气）on our way back to the university. Our professor (agree) that we could take the exam the following day.

    When it was time to take the exam, Tom and I (take )to different rooms. After we opened the test paper, we saw only one question, “Which tire?”

    Neither Tom nor I answered the question. Instead we told our professor the truth. Luckily, he later gave (we) the real test paper. And both Tom and I made a (decide): never to lie again.

    Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer who helped shape the course of American literature. His life was full of tragedy and despair, but he managed some of the most influential American literature of the 19th century and continues to influence writers to this day.

    The early life of Edgar Allan Poe was quite miserable.Born in 1809, Poe was not yet three years old when his parents died.Adopted by a wealthy family,he got into trouble at school.He  entered the United States Military Academy at West Point,but he dropped out without graduating. His misery continued to his adult life.Later,because of a failed marriage, he suffered from mental illness. He was so upset about real life that he turned to writing.Expressing himself in an unreal and imaginary world was his only comfort.

    The tragedies in Poe's life influenced the tone,style and contents of his writing.His stories usually include death,which help build his reputation as a master of"dark"literature.In his The

    Tell-Tale Heart, the main character goes crazy and kills his roommate while in The Black Cat, the narrator kills his cat in a fit of madness.

    Poe died at the age of 40 in 1849.His life was tragic and short,but his legacy(遗产) is enormous.Poe is credited with creating crime fiction,and many say he contributed greatly to the appearance of science fiction.Fascinated by the scientific theories and new inventions of his time, he wrote about imaginary societies in the future.Writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle,the author of Sherlock Holmes,regarded Poe as the father of detective fiction. Jules Verne, a French writer who helped popularize science fiction,said Poe's work had a direct influence on the stories he wrote.
