John' s mother went to the hospital to see her son. She looked at his 38 leg. Then she looked into his  39  .She knew what her son would  40 . "You're going to jump again, John, I know it," she said. "  41  will be all right. "
If John hoped to jump again, he would have a  42  to do. He began at once. Even in his hospital bed John started to exercise. He used a wheel(轮子) and other metal things. Soon his  43  looked like a machine shop!
It was May when John  44  the hospital. "Is it all right if I go camping( 宿营) this summer?" he asked the doctors.
" Yes," the doctors said.  " But take it easy on that foot. "
John took only  45 walks at first. He was taking it easy on his foot. But not on anything else. He went swimming and did other kinds of exercises. He exercised  46  his body cried for a rest.

"To  50 a champion fighting back is a wonderful thing to watch. ":

I was woken up by a strange sound. I saw something moving by my window. I was terrified and ran downstairs. I found my mom in the kitchen, getting my brother ready for school.
"Mum, did you hear anything? I, uh. I thought I saw an alien."
"Are you all right? Just a dream ! "Mum answered.
Then I went back to my room. As I walked to the window, I cried, I saw a little alien, no more than three feet tall, with big and black eyes. It tried to run between my legs and escape through the window. Although I was scared, for some reason, I squeezed (挤) my legs together in time to catch it. It took out something and hurt me. I felt a terrible sense of nothingness and fainted (晕倒). Then I woke up.
At first, I could hardly move. I wasn't sure whether it was a dream or not. I pulled myself out of the bed and walked downstairs. I saw my mum in the kitchen. She was really getting my brother ready for school, wearing her pink clothes. Then I realized it was just a dream because in my dream she was wearing her work clothes.
From then on, I always dreamt about aliens and all the dreams felt so real. At that time, I really thought maybe I had some kind of relationship with aliens. About two months later, I stopped having such dreams. Later I realized that l used to have those dreams because I always read books or watched TV programs about aliens before I fell asleep!
【小题1】What did the writer first do when he saw the alien?

      Welcome to Youth Radio, your radio.  Here we're proud to introduce three Amazing Kids.

     Gina, who is thirteen years old, got first prize in the "Young Cook of the Year" competition and she wants to write a recipe book for kids. "I want it to be fun to read and easy enough for children to use," she says. Gina learned by watching her father, who's also good at cooking, in the kitchen.  She wants to encourage other children to cook because "everyone needs to eat so it's a skill that will always be useful!"

     Seventeen-year-old Brian used to love running until he was hurt in a serious accident three years ago. He lost part of one leg and didn't even expect to walk again. Now he's an athlete who has recently taken part in a long race.  "After my accident I wanted to give up," he says. "But now I'm happy to be alive and able to continue running."

     Helen has always been good at science, but she thought it was too difficult to become an inventor. Then she heard about an accident that had happened when a car hit a train in her town.  "That gave me an idea," says the clever sixteen-year-old. It took her over a year to invent a small special machine that tells car .drivers when a train is coming. One company is already interested in selling it, so it may be in he shops soon!

      Do you know a child like them? Please e-mail us at amaxingkids@ mail. com and tell us why he or she should be on our radio. Thank you.
