Mother always said I was born to swim. I was     41     at the amazing fact. If this was true, then why was I afraid of water? I went to swim every summer, but I made    42     progress. I was worried and blamed myself several times. When I watched people swimming    43    , how I wished I had learnt to swim!
The story of how I learnt to swim is dramatic. One summer afternoon, my     44    and I went to the swimming pool to swim. While he was     45   his clothes, I was wandering along the bank of the pool. Suddenly I heard a voice, “    46  !” and then came a big noise and     47   splashes(溅水). Just when I was     48    the swimmer’s skills, I slipped into the pool! I was so afraid that I     49  at once! But the water kept coming towards me and I     50   lots of it. I was moving upside down and trying to reach the    51   . I was struggling very hard to keep my head     52    the water. A(n)    53    was like a hundred years to me. To my surprise, I was able to keep the style! Just then, my father saw me and he seemed to be   54   . He then said, “Calm down, just     55   your arms and legs like this. Right!” And I     56    it! I finally learnt to swim! You can’t imagine how happy I was and I wanted to     57 for joy!
From this experience I learnt that one’s power is     58   . Sometimes you could show that power in an emergency. If you believe that, you will discover the power     59    within yourself and achieve your goals. And one has to stay calm when it’s     60   . To calm down helps you to think clearly and make the best decision.

Many of Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English fluently when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.
It is not uncommon that many students, who are bad speakers of English, can write English perfectly. This proves that they are not unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they don’t have enough practices and confidence.
Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners to whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy. They will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best to get rid of this trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that more practice will help you to succeed.

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的);be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve . Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are ever exactly alike (相同). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.

Dear editor,
Under China’s current (现在的) educational system, there are those who do nothing but study. They of course are thought to be model students.
But I feel that there is another type of student who, perhaps not as diligent (勤奋的) as the first type, uses his time more efficiently and achieves a lot academically.
Last year, a classmate of mine was accepted by a top university. It surprised all of us. It was because, unlike most of us, he didn’t spend too much of his time studying.
When I asked him the secret of his success, he said that the key was properly and scientifically arranging his time.
“ I spent a lot of time keeping fit and as a result, I was able to better concentrate (集中) on my class work.”
The moral (教训) of the story is: it isn’t necessary to sit at your desk all day long to get high academic (学术) grades.
Yours,
Zhang Zishu

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome things they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12. “Oh, dear!” I cried, “ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched(可怜的) creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learnt. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.
