24、   Hobbies are also a way of making friends. Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to see your friends again. But the most exciting of all is that the new term is a chance to take up new hobbies. It is common in Britain for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays.

Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free periods or after school. You have to pay for some classes and other classes are free. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics class my school offered. But when I learnt how to play the drums, my parents had to pay for the lessons.

The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club. Both classes offered exams that students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But the students with hobbies left school with many extra skills.

I haven't continued any of the hobbies I began at school. But I have never regretted taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class.

26、   Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “I’m interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers.

When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers’ ideas.

Opinion writing — opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking.

27、   Kites are one of the most popular Chinese inventions. Used for both fun and work, Chinese kites are an important part of Chinese culture and history. It is believed that the invention of the kite was an important step in the invention of the airplane.

The first kite was invented in ancient China around 3,000 years ago. And the first Chinese kites were made out of wood, but once paper was invented, paper kites became popular. Bamboo and silk are also used in making kites.

For example, during the Qing Dynasty, it was believed that flying a kite and then letting it go was a way to let go of trouble, bad luck, and illness.

Kites became a form of recreation（娱乐）during the Tang Dynasty among the wealthy family. Once the paper kites were invented, the popularity of kites spread to the common Chinese.

28、六 填词

Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around, looking for its m【1】 piece. But because it was not complete , it could only roll  (滚)  very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine a【2】the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but n【3】 of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on l【4】 for the lost piece. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit p【5】. The circle put the piece into itself , It could be whole with nothing lost. It was so h【6】 and began to roll. As it was a perfect circle, it could roll very f【7】, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled very slowly.

Sometimes we are perfect when we lose some thing. A man who o【8】  everything is poor in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know some one loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.

We couldn't be perfect. But we must be brave e【9】 to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to s【10】 happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always have a wonderful time in our life.
