    Do you know what couch-potato means? Well, in America, the word is now often used. The American couch-potato becomes maybe even a part of American tradition. You see, in America, many people often spend their free time sitting on a couch（沙发）watching TV. As there are many programs to choose, the TV can be quite interesting and very addictive（上瘾的）. One may sit and watch TV for hour and hour without stop. They do nothing else but watch TV. These people are called couch-potatoes.

    In America, when one watches TV, he is most often sitting on a couch. While watching TV, most of these people look so frozen that they almost look dead. Everyone is sitting still（安静地） with eyes looking right into the same black box. Also because these people are addictive to TV, they don't exercise and usually get very fat. So in many ways, they look like real potatoes. Well, because they look so still and fat, and watch TV on a couch, they are all called couch-potatoes.

    Now you know what couch-potatoes means. The next time if you see someone watching TV too long, just say, "What a couch-potato!"

    I'm Sharon. One of my favorite countries to go on vacation is China. After falling in love with the country on business（生意）trip two years ago, I took my children to China last summer.

    We visited three cities, but Xi'an was the most interesting one. This old city is amazing and our children loved to ride bicycles on the famous City Wall. The wall is about 14 kilometers long and it has a very long history. Visitors can rent bicycles there and it is very cheap. And on each corner（街角）you can take a rest and enjoy a bottle of cold water, because it was very hot when we visited it in July. Trust（相信）me, your children will love the trip!

    It is easier to go down the hill than to climb up the hill, so it is easier to fall into bad habits（习惯）than into good ones. 

    Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little without one being aware of（意识到）their danger. School boys first pick up little bad habits in the school and on the street. When they can't write their lessons, they copy from their schoolmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. If they see their friends gambling（赌博）, they want to gamble. When they get bigger, the habits become stronger and stronger, so that they can no longer get rid of（摆脱, 除掉）them. From copying, they learn to steal, from gambling, they learn to cheat（欺骗）. At last they become distrusted（不信任） by everybody. How necessary it is that we get rid of the bad habits at the beginning. 

Not everyone is successful in making their dreams come true.  Walt Disney was. Usually,  (mouse) are not popular, but Mickey Mouse wins many   (people) hearts. Movies about Mickey Mouse are popular almost everywhere in the world for (many) than eighty years. Walt Disney (make) this famous cartoon character. When he was young, Walt Disney was interested drawing cartoons. And he tried his best (find) better ways of making cartoons move. At that time, some movies just started to use sound. So Disney decided to put sound in his cartoons, . People were excited when they saw Mickey Mouse talk (wonderful) on the movie screen. Mickey became popular with young and old.

    Our English teacher was like a friend to us, and we all liked her. One day she came into the classroom and shouted, "Who did this?" She held up a piece of broken glass and asked, "Who 1 the window?" She seldom became angry, 2 this time she was.

    I broke the window. I did 3 by throwing a baseball. I didn't want to admit (承认) it 4 I didn't have enough money to pay for a big window like that. "My father will be 5 ." I thought. At first I didn't put up my hand, but later something strong in my heart suddenly made me 6. "I did it," I said seriously. How 7 it was for me to say that!

My teacher 8 a book from one of our book shelves and then began walking 9 my desk. I was afraid that she was going to punish(惩罚) me. "I know you like collecting10very much," she said, looking down at my 11 face. "Here is the book about stamps that you are looking for. Now, the book is 12and I shall not punish you. Remember, it's because you told the truth." I couldn't believe it! My teacher wasn't punishing me. I didn't 13 to pay for the broken window. And I got my 14book!

    As time goes, the book is gone, so is my wonderful teacher. But I will 15forget the lesson the teacher gave me that day.

Class Afloat is a Canadian school on a tall ship! The ship is 210 feet long and 30 feet wide, and it can take up to sixty students. The classrooms are well-equipped and comfortable, and there's even a library! It isn't necessary to know anything about sailing—students can learn on the ship.

Not all the students are Canadian. There's usually a mix of nationalities. This year, there are also students from Mexico, the US, Germany, and Turkey. There's a mix of ages too. There are high school students sixteen to eighteen years old, and first-year college students.

The teachers design special study programs for each student. Because the school is a ship, you can do some exciting classes, for example, Marine Biology (studying the animals and plants in the sea) and History of Geography courses about the places you visit. Students also learn all about sailing!

Students don't just study. They must also do the cleaning, cooking and sail the ship. In their free time, students can rest, read, or watch a movie. In the evening, they relax with friends and have club meetings.

Every sixteen to twenty days, the ship stops in a port for three to six days. In port, there's a lot for the students to do—homestays, camping trips, museum tours, hiking, etc. They also go boating and do other water sports. Parents can meet up with the students in one port every term.

Students also take part in two volunteer programs in Senegal and the Dominican Republic. They help local families in different ways, for example, with basic health matters or starting a business. Students learn how, with just a little money and time, they can make changes that improve other people's lives.
