It is an 38 story: Robinson Crusoe hated the comfortable life in his hometown. So , he wanted to be a seaman and travelled around the world. But one day, a terrible thing happened. A great storm came and their boat crashed! No one was alive in this accident except Robinson.
He was the 39 man in the world－Because all his friends were 40 but he was alive. 41 , at the same time he was the most tragic(悲慘的) man of all－He must face the fact.
Alone on an island 42 food, water or gun! But, all roads lead to Rome! He just used his 43 to work hard. Then, he made a cave, built a house, grew corn and kept goats. In the end, he could 44 the life on the island. In his twenty-fourth year on the island, he saved a wild man, and gave him the name of “Friday”. With Robinson’s 45 , “Friday” learned to become a good servant(仆人). Finally, they got a boat and 46 the island!
Surely, the writer of Robinson Crusoe is really a hero! It’s too 47 to describe Robinson with words. We could say that Robinson was very 48 , and also he was brave...Certainly, too many good words can describe him. But now, I don’t think it is 49 , the most important thing is 50 we have learned from the story. That is, use our own hands to work hard with

You eat to stay fit and keep your body working, right? Then reading is food for your mind and soul. Reading informs you of what's happening around. Reading encourages you to think and imagine, think out of the box and imagine the impossible.
In the past, people just read books, only books. Today, we have books online, which makes reading easy. The web, our new storehouse of information, is just a click away. But this is in no way has stolen the magic of reading books, the sound of their pages fluttering(翻頁)and the smells of…You can lie in bed with a book, but with a computer you possibly can't. No matter how you read, reading is important.
Remember those bedtime stories? We read fun facts about animals, plants and the universe. We ask "why" and "how". In books, we find the answers. Children who are introduced to reading at an early age seem to have a better understanding of phonics(語音學(xué)). They master language skills easily, have a richer vocabulary and have greater reading abilities. Children, who grow up reading good books, mostly stand out. The way they think and act is very different from those who have never been introduced to reading. Reading not only adds to their knowledge but also shape their personalities.
The more you read, the more creative you will become. Reading develops vocabulary, improves language skills and sharpens(使敏捷)your problem-solving abilities. Reading gives you knowledge and make you more confident. The more you read about others' life experiences, the better decision-maker you will become.
Reading about the importance of reading can lead you to read more, and more, and more. So choose a book you like and don't stop reading until you reach the end. And even after that read as much as you can.

The Big Lottery is giving money to groups of teenagers between 14 and 19 who want to become active citizens. The teenagers who would like to help make the area you live in better, cleaner, safer and more friendly can actually get money for improving your local community (社區(qū)).We have $ 80,000 to give away. We are looking for young people to take part in schemes(規(guī)劃) and projects near to where they live.
Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.
Meeting the neighbors: Everybody needs good neighbors. Knock on people’s door and find out what they would like improving in your area. Set a date for a meeting and then make some plans together. If you don’t want to go round to their houses, then you could always put a note through their doors.
Neighborhood watch: Neighborhood watch schemes are very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it’s very nice to know that a neighbor is keeping an eye on it. It’s a good way to make the area you live in safer. You could set one up easily and quickly.(Paragraph 4)
Lending a hand: There are often elderly people living in the neighborhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their garden for them or maybe walk their dog.(Paragraph 5)
No littering: Nobody likes picking up other people’s rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find. You never know, one day you might find something valuable.
Recycling: Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some areas already provide places to people to recycle bottles, tins, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in your neighborhood. If it’s not, do something about it.
So go on … Just tell us what kind of project you want to join in. Then we’ll send you more details. Take positive action and help make your neighborhood a better place to live in.
