— No. I often play basketball with my friends.
Once there was a farmer who lost his watch in his barn (谷仓). The watch was cheap but it was very 1 to him because it was a present from his father.
After 2 the watch in the barn for a long time, he gave up and asked for 3 from a group of children playing nearby. He 4 them that the person who found the watch would be rewarded.
Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn 5. They searched everywhere but still could not find the 6. Just when the farmer was going to give up, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another 7.
The farmer looked at him and thought." Why not? After all, this kid looks honest." So the farmer 8 the little boy back into the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The surprised farmer asked the boy how he 9 where the rest had failed(失败). The boy replied," I did nothing but sit quietly and listened for the sound of the watch."
This shows us that sometimes a 10 mind can think better than an excited one.

My favourite sport is baseball. It is fun to play, and it is fun to watch.
I went to my first baseball game with my grandparents when I was 7 years old. It was really wonderful. We had a good time. I was happy to be with my grandparents. My grandfather made me love the game.
My dad knew I loved baseball, so he gave me a baseball on my eighth birthday.
When I was 12 years old, my friend came to me and asked me to join his team and play baseball. I agreed. From then on, I got to learn more about baseball. I practiced a lot and I learned how to play better.
My favoutrite baseball player is Derrek Lee. Derrek Lee joined the Chicago Cubs in 2004. That year was a good year for him, but 2006 was his best year. One of my favourite things about Derrek Lee is that he is a very nice person. He never shouts at others. He always has a big smile on his face. He seems happy all the time.
Linda was a sixteen-year-old girl in Canada. She was feeling bad for several days. Her mother took her to a hospital and the doctors found out that she had cancer.
Linda's life changed. She began to go to the hospital often for treatment(治疗),and she also became depressed.
The hospitals and the doctors were good, but Linda did not have hope herself. Linda's mother called a flower shop close to the hospital. "I want some beautiful flowers for my daughter. She is a teen girl with cancer." She told the shop owner.
Later, the flowers arrived. Then Linda saw something unusual. It was a card. It read, "Linda,
I own (拥有) this flower shop. I had cancer when I was fifteen years old. I am 24 years old now. Good luck. My heart goes out to you. Alice.
Linda smiled. She finally felt some real hope. She found the will (意志)to live.
Little things make a big difference. All of us can give little things like kindness, encouragement and hope to others.
Nowadays, computers and Internets are playing an important part in our life. Some people even say they can't live without them. We usually need to set passwords (密码) when we use computers and Internet. But not all the passwords are safe. In order to keep our accounts (账户)and personal information safe, we must learn how to make safe passwords.
How can you make your computer and Internet passwords safe? Experts have some advice for you. You'd better remember the advice and they are useful for you. Here are the suggestions.
Firstly, make your password out of capital(大写) letters. If your password is made of capital letters, it will be difficult for others to get into your account. It only takes a hacker(黑客) 10 minutes to work out a six- letter password made of small letters. But the same password in capital letters takes 10 hours to work out.
Secondly, add numbers or symbols to your passwords. It may be much safer. Sometimes such password is not easy to remember, but it is really safe.
Thirdly, never use personal information for passwords and use different passwords for different accounts. Experts say that a user should change his or her passwords every 90 days. In this way, hacker won't guess your passwords.
