We become so comfortable 6        the life that has been planned out for us that we feel that 7        is stupid and unsafe to risk 8       (lose) it for the small hope of achieving something that is more fulfilling.

Taking a risk is still a risk. We can,and will fail. But that is 9        makes it exciting for me.

Are the school holidays too long? We asked children,parents and teachers whether the summer break should be shorter. 1       Ruby Mullin,nine This idea is mean. There's no other word for it. Children need to calm down and have a good holiday at the end of a busy school year. The long holidays give you time to do things you wouldn't otherwise get to do,like in my family we go to Ireland and see relatives and friends there. It might seem long to some people. 2       Anthony Seldon,head teacher of Wellington College in Berkshire If it hadn't been for the long summer holiday,I wouldn't have come into teaching. 3       Whether it's painting,hiking or,as in my case,writing books,it adds such a lot to what teachers have to give. And as for all these worries about pupils forgetting all they've learned,children have up to nine weeks in summer,and their exam results don't suffer. We all know that some of the most valuable learning experiences take place away from the classroom.

Nachelle Crowther,mother of three kids 4      The sixweek break seems designed for another age,when mothers didn't work and your mum lived round the corner to give you a hand. If I was able to take a sixweek holiday,great,I'd love it―but in the real world,that isn't possible. Instead,I end up spending a fortune―around £600―on childcare for each week when I'm working.

Sarah Radford,a primary school teacher at Botley school,Oxford

I've taught for more than 20 years,and summer is the only holiday when teachers can properly switch off from the intense work of planning and assessing (評估) .If it was shortened,the result would be an increase in teachers' stress levels and a harmful effect on our ability to teach. Children need that time for unstructured play,and to have time not being assessed,simply being themselves. 5      

   A. Should children have less time off school during the summer?

   B. However,time flies when you're having fun.

   C. It's important for teachers to do other things.

   D. A shorter summer holiday would be much better.

   F.   T have 9inreferenre for a lon^ cummer holiHav to have,fun

   F. A long summer holiday can also improve childrenparents relationship.

   G. And then school lessons will help their learning when they're back in school.

Last Sunday I saw the worse storm in years. It came down suddenly but went on for more than three hours. After the lunch,I went into my room have a rest. The air was hot and all were quiet. Then a strong wind started blowing into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew highly into the air and some flew out of the opened window. As I ran out to catch it,big drops of rain began to fall. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the home. I ran out of my room to find out that a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom.

After school,I was about to enter into my apartment when I saw a little dirty dog lie beside the dustbin. He looked extremely weak. Immediately the homeless dog filled me of sympathy. So I decided to take him home. I gave him some food and a bath. After the bath he looked energy and refreshed. What a lovely dog!

When my parents got home,I asked that I could keep the dog. To my surprised and joy,they agreed. Up to now,he has become member of our family and everyone had enjoyed his company.
