I have to face some very sad incidents and I keep __4__ them. Because of this, I can’t focus my attention on anything and don’t even feel like talking to __5__.”
Mr. Brown listened carefully, thought for a while and said, “Would you like some lemonade（柠檬汽水）?” Larry felt a little sort out the facts__6__ and nervously replied, “Yes, thank you!”
While __7__ lemonade, Mr. Brown added more salt on purpose and kept the quantity of sugar low. Larry made a __8__ face as soon as he drank a sip of that lemonade. Seeing this, Mr. Brown asked “You don’t like it?”
“Um…it’s just there is a bit too much __9__ in it,” Larry answered.
Mr. Brown stopped him, “Oh, it doesn’t matter. I will throw it away.” As the teacher was lifting the glass to __10__, Larry stopped him and said, “Sir, please don’t throw it away. __11__ we put a little more sugar in the lemonade, it will be fine to drink.”
Hearing this, Mr. Brown said__12__, “This is what I want to hear from you. To improve the __13__ of lemonade, we don’t need to remove the salt from it, we can just add some sugar to it. Similarly, we cannot remove sad things that have __14__ happened to us, but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life. If you keep on crying about your __15__, neither your present will be right nor the future will be bright.”

Book review by Jarrad
On the weekend I read a totally amazing book called The Adventures（历险记）of Siegfried and Hannah. It was such a cool book because it was full of magical journeys to many mysterious lands. You never knew where the characters were going to end up next.
The main characters are a boy called Siegfried and his little sister Hannah. They are always ready for a mysterious adventure every time they step out their door. The book contains twelve separate stories.
I won’t spoil it for you, but what I loved the most was that the main characters were just like real kids. They were the sort of kids that I’d want to be friends with.
I would really recommend（推荐）that you read this book, especially if you like fairies, dragons, magic, adventures and surprises. It is the best book that I have read all year. There was nothing I did not like about this book, except that it should have been longer!

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest(热带雨林)? Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent, but there are more kinds of trees than any other area in the whole world.
Tropical rainforests are in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, Australia, and on the Pacific islands. The largest tropical rainforest is the Amazon (亚马逊)Rainforest in South America, which covers 1. 2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometres. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is the “lungs of our planet” because it produces 20%of the world’s oxygen (氧气). One fifth of the world’s fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants and insects live in the Earth’s rainforests. 80% of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. 25%of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer.
There are four different levels of trees in a rainforest. The forest floor is the lowest layer full of animal life and receives the least amount of light. The under storey is the dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground. The canopy layer is the upper parts of most of the trees. The emergent layer contains a small number of very tall trees.
