---- She failed the exam and she has no friends _________.

On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t   1  her,” Lauren said, who sat beside me, “or they will make fun of you.”

Amy had many physical differences —lots of   2  for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really ugly teeth.

Every day as we drove to school, kids would shout insults (侮辱) at Amy. “God, what a

 3  face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her   4 , and now her eyes are frightening me! Make her put them back on!” I also did that because I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.

But while I was insulting her, my heart   5  for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look   6 , because she was so ashamed and alone. Then I wanted to stand up for her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates   7  the night of our class roller skating party.

Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn’t know how to   8 , but I could see how much she wanted to   9  like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. We began the journey together around the skating rink. She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in   10 .

On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me  11   together, but   12  insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year.

After graduation, I never heard from Amy again. However, I never   13  her and I’ve always   14  if I changed her life for the better. But I know for sure she changed my life. After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress (給…留下印象) people by trying to   15  like them. I became myself.

Are your parents “helicopters”(直升飛機(jī))? That’s a new term I read about. It means parents who “hover” over(盤(pán)旋) their children.They _1    about every little thing in their child’s life: Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Too hot? Too cold? Do you need more books? __2  pens? More anything? More everything?
These  3  love their children and want to 4  that everything in their life is perfect. Some kids may become upset but 5  like being pampered(縱容). The pampered kids like the idea of being waited on hand and foot. They like the idea of not  6  to make decisions.
I don’t think this is a good idea. I think it’s important for kids to do things for   7  . I think it’s important for kids to make decisions. This    8  them grow up. It helps them to   9 an independent(獨(dú)立的) and responsible(負(fù)責(zé)任的) person.
   10  can you become independent and responsible? It’s easy, just    11  with little things. You can make your own meals sometimes for help with the cooking. You can also  12   your own bed and clean your room. You can   13  your parents that you can be responsible with money.
Your parents are “helicopter”  14  they love you. So, tell them that you understand and that they really shouldn’t worry. Tell them they can “   15  ” the helicopter because you are a responsible kid.

When I was a kid, I liked summer best. 36 ?  Because I could do what I like. I could go 37 at the pool. I could 38 my beautiful skirts. And of course there 39 no school. But autumn (秋天) is my 40 season now.

Summer is too hot, so I always 41 in the house. I 42 like it. Winter is usually too 43 . I don’t like to go outside and I have to wear lots of warm clothes. In spring (春天) it usually rains. It’s my second favorite season.

Autumn is the best. It isn’t too hot 44 too cold. The temperature (溫度) is 45 18℃and 22℃. It’s a great time of the year. I like it.
