“Do you want to come with me?” Sally asked her brother. “I’m going to meet some friends at the bike course（赛道，路线）down the block. We’re going to practice for the race next week.”

“No, thanks,” Mark replied. “Sam’s coming over to play basketball.”

Sally rode off on her bike while Mark waited for his friend. Mark was fast, 35 he usually did well in most sports. He didn’t think it would 36 if he practiced the course. It could be hilly or sandy, and Mark knew he would 37 speed along.

The race day finally arrived. “My stomach feels like I ate some butterflies,” Sally told Mark when she saw so many kids around. Then they 38 the other riders at the start line.

“Sally is always nervous,” Mark thought. “Don’t worry. 39 will do fine,” he said. As soon as the starter shouted “Go!”, Mark’s legs pumped up and down like two machines. He moved 40 to the front.

A few minutes later, there wasn’t anyone ahead of him! Mark raced along the course. He rode past some pine trees. Then the path looped(环绕)around a pond. Mark was surprised that the course was so 41 .

His tired legs felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. All at once, a flash of color caught his eyes. There was a line of bike riders on the course ahead of him! “How could this be?” Mark said to himself. “I must have taken a wrong 42 and made one more loop in the course,” he thought.

Mark pushed his achy muscles(肌肉)harder. He realized his 43 alone wouldn’t be enough this time; 44 the course was just as important. He managed to ride past a couple of bike riders, but he couldn’t 45 the riders who were in the lead.

After the race Mark saw his sister. “Wow, you must have done a good job in the race. What place did you get?” Mark asked.

“Third place!” Sally answered excitedly.

“That’s great! I came in ninth place. But I’ll do better next year because I’ll be 46 enough to practice the course with you,” Mark made a face at his sister and replied.

     If you are in America or go to American families to have meals, you should learn some table manners.
Here are some tips:
     Don't circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will become the focus (焦点) of the table.
Everyone would wonder, "Is there anything wrong with the food?" This may give a wrong message that
you don't like the food or something like that.
     Don't push the plate back when finished, leave it where it was. Do you want to let the hostess know
that you've just done a labor?
     Don't lean (倚靠) back and say "I'm through" or "I'm full". Just put the fork and knife across the plate.
That's all.
     Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (块) at a time.
     Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don't do that.
It's not so good.
     It's never good to reach across the table for anything. If the thing you want is not at hand, simply ask
the nearest person for help, like "Mrs Smith, could you pass me the dish?"

       As I was finishing seventh grade, my school decided to make some changes because of financial
(财政)problems. The school would make the classes bigger，so there could be fewer teachers. We
needed to write down the names of all my close friends.
       I found out that none of my close friends were in any of my new classes. Also, my new classmates
were quite different from my old ones. I thought they weren’t as smart as my old classmates. They also
weren’t in the school activities I was in. I couldn’t find common interests with them .
       As the year went on, I began to feel lonely and envy people in other groups. Why could they be with
all their friends? As I found out, they didn't have many friends at first. They had made new friends in their
new classes. They seemed pretty happy with their new friends.
       I decided it was time for me to make new friends. I noticed that the people with many friends were
very active. They often talked to others first, while I was too scared to talk to others and hoped other
people would talk to me first.
       Once I realized that, I found that making friends is very easy if you can accept people for who they
are, respect them, and talk to them. Now I feel a lot happier because I have more friends.

me to find a good job when I grow up, but I would like to have a wonderful  time,  too.  You never think
about fun things for me to do like music, sports. Two days ago, when I was watching a football game on
TV, you asked me to stop and do my homework. After finishing my homework, still I couldn't read my
football magazines. You said I had to go to bed early. That was bad enough, but yesterday was the worst day. I bought some computer games, and put them in my bag so that you wouldn't see them. I told you I
had to do my homework first. I  knew it was wrong to lie to you, but Mom, I didn't quite like what you
did to me! I really love you, Mom, but I wish you could try not to be so hard on me.
