    Fire can help people in many ways. It can be very 1. Fire can keep your house2, give light and cook food. But fire can burn things, too. Nobody knows how people began to 3 fire, but there are many interesting old 4 about how a man or woman started a fire. One is about a man. The man lived a very long time ago. He went up to the5and brought fire down. Today people know how to make a fire with matches(火柴). Children sometimes like to 6 with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of 7, and then it could burn a house. A small fire can turn into a 8 fire very quickly, so you must be 9with matches. Be careful with fire, and it will 10 you. But if you aren't careful with fire, it may hurt you.

Dear Simon,

    Here is something about my weekdays and weekends.

    Monday? Oh, I don't like Monday because I have to go back to school again after the weekend. Tuesday is not so bad. I usually play tennis with my friends after school. On Wednesday evening I don't go out. I stay at home and do my homework. I like Thursday best because the next day is Friday. I always go out on Friday — maybe go to the cinema, go to a disco or do some other things. I love the weekend. On Saturday I stay in bed until lunchtime. And then I go shopping in the afternoon. In the evening I go to a club, and there are good bands every Saturday. Then on Sunday I go to my friend's house or he comes to mine. I usually visit my grandmother for an hour in the afternoon. Then the weekend is over and it is Monday. And I feel bad again!

    Write to me soon and tell me about your weekdays and weekends.

Best wishes!

    The summer holiday is coming soon. What are you going to do during the holiday?

    I will visit my uncle in Fox Town. Fox Town is a clean and quiet place. I will go swimming and fishing with my cousin Max. And I will also help my uncle pick grapes (葡萄).

—— Danny

    I'm going to Shanghai, not for a trip, but to take an English course. My mum thinks my English is poor and she hopes I can make it better during the summer holiday. I don't want to take the course at all.

—— Stephanie

    I won't go anywhere during the holiday. I have so many things to do. I will learn writing and drawing, work as a guide (导游) at a history museum, read two books, and of course, do my homework. What a busy holiday it will be!

    Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard; others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents or classmates.

    Li Wei, a junior 2 student from Hefei, could not understand his teacher and did badly in his lessons. He became so worried about it that he started to hurt himself with a knife.

    Another 14-year-old student, Yang Fang from Guangzhou, was afraid of exams. She got very nervous, and when she looked at the paper, she couldn't think of anything to write.

    In fact, many students have mental (心理的) problems. However, most of them don't ask for advice or help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to a doctor; others don't want to talk about their secrets.

    Liang Yuezhu, a teacher, has the following advice for young people:

    Talk to your parents or teachers often.

    Take part in group activities and play sports.

    Go to a doctor if you feel unhappy or unwell.

    Have you watched the TV show Home With Kids（《家有儿女》）？You may hear many people make the sound of "Hahahahaha!" when something funny happens. But every time, the laughter(笑声) sounds the same.

    This is canned(录音的) laughter. US sound engineer Charley Douglass made it in the 1950s. He recorded(录音) different kinds of laughter. When editors needed certain laughter, he just pressed the play button(按钮).

    Canned laughter was popular during that time. When audiences(观众) heard it, they laughed with the actors.

    But about 10 years later, some people thought canned laughter sounded silly. They wanted real laughter because it is more vivid（生动的）。Some famous sitcoms, such as Friends and the Big Bang Theory (《生活大爆炸》),use this kind of laughter.

    The Big Bang Theory sells tickets to audience around the world. They can join the live recording. All the laughter you hear is from the real audience!

    So which kind of laughter do you like?

— Her dream is       ( be) an engineer.
