Zhou Zhijie，15，from Shanghai：

I have heard that although Senior 3 is a hard year，Senior I and Senior 2 are less stressful．I hope there'll be time then to enjoy sports．There will be plenty to see：the Tennis Masters Cup will be held in Shanghai，and of course there is the 2008 Beijing Olympics．I am going to do something for it and I'm sure Hl really enjoy it．

Jin Xin，16，from Harbin，Heilongjiang：

I really enjoy science．I visit many science exhibitions．I am interested in UFOs too．I'm crazy about making model planes，although I'm not very good at it because I don’t really have enough scientific knowledge．I'll be learning more science in senior high．In a word，sometime in the future I'm going to build an excellent model plane!

I hope I can be taller in senior high schoo1．I am only 155 cm．Many people grow faster in senior high and I hope I will too．I want to be 162 cm．But I'm not so sure about that，since most girls in my family don't grow any taller than 160cm．I hope I'm different．

Carol and Susan are very good friends. They are in the same    1   at school and they often visit    2   home at weekends. Now they are    3   eight years old. Carol’s mother has got a new baby. Carol is very    4   to have a little sister. So she is always talking about her to Susan. At first Susan is very    5   in the new baby because she doesn’t have any brothers or sisters. But    6   some time she begins to get tired of Carol’s endless talking about it. She also feels a little jealous of her friend. One morning when the two girls    7   in the school ground, Carol says to Susan, “Do you    8  , Sue, my baby sister has put on nearly half a pound in weight this week.”

“That is not very    9  .” answers Susan. “I know a baby and he puts on ten pounds a day.”

“Oh, that can’t be    10  .” answers Carol laughingly. “Whose baby is it?” “An elephant’s.” says Susan.
