Finally, Dorothy, the Lion, the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow saw the Great Oz. But Oz refused (拒绝) to help t    1     if they didn’t kill the Wicked Witch of the West on the land of the Winkies.

She was very angry and decided to kill them.

She took out a silver whistle and blew it o    4    . Wolves came from all directions and went to find them. “This is my fight. Stand behind me!” the Woodman said. He h    5     his axe above his head. When the wolves arrived, he cut off their heads one by one.

The Wicked Witch took her silver whistle again and blew it twice. This time big crows with sharp beaks went to them. “This is my fight,” the Scarecrow said, “l   6    down on the ground, everyone!” The Scarecrow opened his arms w    7    . When the crows came, he broke their necks one by one.

The witch was angry. She took her silver whistle again and blew it once more. T    8     of black bees appeared. The Scarecrow t    9     out his straw and covered Dorothy, Toto and the Lion with it. When the bees arrived, they only found the Tin Woodman. They tried to sting him but they c    10     hurt his body. Soon all the bees were dead because a bee couldn’t live after it stung.

Have you ever dreamed of enjoying the beautiful countryside and listening to the wind on a cold night? Then you need to go camping. But before you go, you really n    11     to know where to start. Let’s see what US middle school students always do to p    12     for their camping.

First of all, they d    13     which place to camp. They often choose lakes, mountains, the forest or the seaside. Camping grounds are all over the US. When they make their decision, they will tell their parents where they will go. Safety is the most important thing. If they are going to a far-away area, they will t    14     something like a knife, flashlight and other tools to keep themselves s    15     from danger. They also take enough food and water. If they can’t find their way, a good m    16     is always necessary.

One of the most important things is a tent. Most tents are light and e    17     to put up. They come with a groundsheet, which stops water from getting in, as well as a fly screen, so that bugs don’t fly into the tent at night.

Depending on (取决于) different a    18     they plan to do, US students bring different clothes. For example, if they want to go hiking, they will take a sun hat, a strong pair of walking boots, some lightweight trousers, and a waterproof (防水的) c    19    .

Do you know all the things US students do when they go camping? Summer vacation is right around the corner. Why not go camping with your parents or f     20     ? Go and have a good time!

Last weekend I watched a film called Home Coming. It’s about China saving its people from other countries.

A big war broke out in a country in North Africa. M   21    of Chinese people were in danger. They all looked f   22    to coming back to China and seeing their families. The Chinese government (政府) began to help them get a   23    quickly.

One thing t   24    me the most. When Zong Dawei, the main character, finally got back home, it was Chinese New Year. The s   25    of fireworks was everywhere. That was a happy moment, but because of his experiences in North Africa, Zong was often afraid of l   26    to these sounds.

The contrast (对比) b   27    the gunfire in war and the fireworks in peace (和平) taught me the cruelty (残酷) of war, the hard-won peace and the hard work of my motherland to let us live a happy and safe l   28   . It not only let me feel the power of our motherland but also m   29    me feel proud of being Chinese.

After seeing the exciting film, I d    30     to work hard at school, hoping that I could work for the development (发展) of China in the future. I hoped my dream would come true.

Zibo barbecue(烧烤) is hot. On each t    31     is a small stove(炉子). People can help themselves to wrap skewers（裹肉串）in a thin pancake, usually with a spring onion(葱) i    32     the pancake.

Facts from Meituan and Dazhong Dianping s    33     that booking volume(预订量) for accommodation(住宿) in Zibo during the five-day May Day holiday is higher t    34     that in 2019.

Sarah was a very brave lady who liked to p    41     people from danger. One day, she heard someone shouting from her n    42     house. She saw a bad person hurting her neighbor and knew she had to act quickly. Sarah pushed the bad person away to keep her neighbor s    43    .

But then the bad person h    44     Sarah, too. Luckily, Sarah could get a    45     and helped her neighbor. She believed that anyone could be brave like her if they had the a    46     to protect themselves.

Sarah thought that being brave was not e    47    . So she started a self- defense (自卫) class to help people learn how to protect t    48     and others. She knew that it was i    49     to get away from danger.

Sarah’s story told us that anyone could be a h    50     if they stood up for what was right and helped others.

Your body is like a factory. It takes in “materials” and puts out “goods”（货品）. If you start with poor materials, your goods may not be very high-quality（高质量的）. But if you use b    51     materials, your goods will come out much better.

What does this mean（意味着） in our life? It means getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, and e    52     every day. You may not think about this much as a student, but as you get older, it b    53     very important.

It’s good to start building a better “factory” at a young a    54    . Getting into the habit of living healthily can help you in many ways. If you get enough sleep, you’ll be a    55     to do well in your studies. Eating healthy food helps your body g    56     strong and fight off sickness. And exercise can help you stay f    57     and live a healthy life.

This sounds like a lot to do. So b    58     me and try to start small—go to bed at the same time each night and wake up at the same time as well. Find time to eat an apple each day—they say “an apple a day, k    59     the doctor away”. Try to exercise just a little bit each day, even if it’s only for ten m     60     . Keep doing these little things, and you will have a healthy body and a great life.

Is it good for students to do the housework? Some people think students need not do a    61     housework. They think the o   62    thing that students need to do is study well. I don’t think so. It is good for students to do some housework for three r   63   .

First, doing some housework can m   64    you independent（独立的）. You can’t depend on others all your life. So, you should l   65    to do some housework now. Second, doing some housework can k   66    you healthy and strong. Some hard housework can be treated as a kind of physical（身体的）e   67   . Finally, by doing some housework, you can s   68    your parents’ work. They must be happy if you say “Have a r   69   , and I will do the housework for you”.

So sometimes it is not b   70    for students to do some housework.

Before I begin my story, I would like to tell you a little about myself.

I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York in the n   71    of England. My father was German, b   72    he came to live and work in England. Soon after that, he married my mother, who was English. Her family name was Robinson, so when I was born, they c   73    me Robinson, after her.

My father did well in his business a   74    I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job and live a quiet, comfortable life. But I d   75    want that. I wanted adventure (冒险) and an exciting life.

“I want to be a sailor and go to sea,” I told my p   76   . They were very unhappy about this.

“Please don’t go,” my father said. “You won’t be happy, you know. Sailors have a d   77    and dangerous life.” And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to f   78    about the sea.

But I couldn’t forget, and about a year later, I s   79    a friend in town. His father had a ship, and my friend s   80     to me, “We’re sailing to London tomorrow. Why don’t you come with us?”

A small restaurant in Beijing has warmed people’s hearts for a special set meal offered (提供) for free to those in need.

The “Set Meal A” i    81     a bowl of beef noodles and some vegetables, which costs 22 yuan. The meal is offered for free to people in need, like those fresh graduates(应届毕业生) with l    82     money, homeless people or dustmen. Set Meal A is like a magic phrase, which is designed to secretly help the people in need without harming their dignity(尊严).

After the poster was hung outside the restaurant, many people came to o    90     Set Meal A, and still paid for the food to show their support for Yu’s charity work.

For years I went to school by bus, so I met many “familiar” strangers (熟悉的陌生人). We took the same bus but didn’t know each other’s n    191    . I thought we couldn’t be true friends. How wrong I was! Smiles (微笑) from the “nameless” people changed my thoughts.

But it seemed not easy to set up friendship (建立友谊) with a q    193     girl in the front of the bus. Her old clothes showed me that she didn’t have much m    194    . But she always took a bottle of water for the driver. I guessed she was a k    195     girl. But why did she sit quietly without talking with us? Why did she never r    196     to friendly greetings? Couldn’t she smile?

Then, one evening, I got the answer. I walked to the park nearby and saw the girl sitting a    197     under a tree, lonely and sad. I greeted (问候) her with the same warm smile, but this time her face turned red, then she gave me a shy smile. When she began her first words, I knew w    198     she didn’t speak to us before. Talking was difficult for her.

She t    199     me her story: her parents had to work hard in another city because they were poor. She lived with her grandparents. She said, “I can’t express (表达) myself well. Most of the time, I can’t say what I want to say. I have no friends, but you always smile to me like an angel, so I also want to smile.” That evening, we told our names to each other and said goodbye like old f     200     .
