　　I woke up as the plane started to land at Auckland airport．I had not slept for much of the night flight from Singapore because I was so excited．This was my first trip abroad without my parents．It was a school trip for Grade 6 students, all aged 11 years old．

　　After the arrival, we got on a bus which took us to a place called Miranda, where we stayed the night．

　　The next day we got up early, had breakfast, and took the bus to Thames．On the way we stopped at a gold mine(礦)．I searched for pieces of gold but didn't find any．At Thames we visited a cave where we saw a huge spider eating a fly．That was interesting!

　　The third day was very unforgettable．We went to a Maori village．Maoris are the original people who have lived in the New Zealand for thousands of years．I made friends with a Maori boy of my own age called Aaron．Aaron took me to his large house．He had many pets including a dog, a cat, a chicken and···an ostrich(鴕鳥(niǎo))!The ostrich was much taller than me with a funny head and long legs．It was a little bit frightening!

　　That night for dinner we had a barbecue and finally before going to bed we played a game of football．My team won 3 to 1．

　　The next morning was our last day in New Zealand．We went back to Aaron's village where the Maori men lined up and performed a haka－this is a war dance．We then sang a song for them and then everyone became friends．It was a wonderful experience．

　　After that we went to a place called Rototua where we saw boiling bud pools and geysers(間歇性噴泉)．The geysers shot water into the air 10metres high! It was amazing!

　　That night we took the bus back to the airport and said our goodbye to the beautiful country of New Zealand．I would love to come back to visit again some day．

5．Where did the writer see an ostrich?

　　Just before midnight on July the 31th, 1997, some skiers returning to their hotel in the village of Thredbo heard a sound like the passing of ten trains．The frightened skiers rushed to where the noise had come from and found that part of the hillside about the village had dropped down onto two buildings in which nineteen people had been sleeping．The buildings were now buried(掩埋)under tons of earth and huge rocks．

　　As soon as the day broke, rescue(救援)workers began digging for people alive．They used hand tools because they were worried that machines might hurt anyone trapped(圍困)under the rocks．Rain and snow kept falling and there was a danger that more earth and rocks would come down the mountain．

　　For two days , rescue workers never stopped digging．On Thursday evening they found the first body．The next day they found two more．They had almost given up hope of finding anyone alive when, at 5∶37 a.m．on Saturday morning, a special machine they were using found a small movement．

　　Immediately someone shouted to tell the workers to be silent．Everyone stopped talking, no one moved．A fireman lay down over to a hole in a large piece of concrete(混凝土)and shouted down．“Can anyone hear me?” “I can hear you,” came the reply．

　　Worried that their digging could start more rock falling down the mountain, rescue workers began carefully taking away the rocks and dirt on top of the trapped man．By 10 o'clock, a small hole had been made．At 10∶10 a.m．, rescue workers sent two tubes down through the hole, one carrying warm air and the other a warm drink．Then a microphone was passed through the hole so that they could talk to the man．

　　For the next seven hours, two workers talked to the trapped man while others slowly and carefully worked to free him．They found out that his name was Stuart Diver and that he and his wife were sleeping then the disaster happened．His wife was washed away by the mud and water．For more than two days, Stuart had been trapped between two pieces of concretes, with only 30 cm between his head and the concrete above．Every few hours, icy water had rushed over him and he had had to lift his head out of the water to breathe．By the time he was found, he was cold and hungry and had almost given up any hope of being rescued．

　　Finally, at 5∶17 p.m．on Saturday evening, Stuart was pulled out．Rescue workers all over the hillside began shouting with joy．In thousands of homes, people were also cheering as they watched the rescue on their televisions．

　　Never try to work when you are very hungry．If you want to do your homework right after school, you may want to eat something before getting to work．①Always do your homework before you get too tired．Don't wait until very late in the evening, or your homework will seem much harder than it really is．

　　March 5 is the 49th anniversary(周年紀(jì)念日)of the “Learn from Lei Feng Day”, a day named in honor of the Chinese soldier Lei Feng．He died in 1962．Over the past half century, Lei Feng has become an inspiration for the young people．But with the changing of our society, do we still have to learn from Lei Feng? Still, others argue about it．Let's look at the following things, you will get your answer．

　　Do you still remember the story of the two-year-old Yue Yue? She was driven over twice．And 18 people passed by, but none of them helped her．At last it was a cleaner who gave her a hand．But the little girl died of bad hurt．At that time, many people were shocked by this news．People asked what's wrong with Chinese people．

　　After that, something is changing．Some old people fell down on the street, people go to help．Here is another example．Mr Li is a taxi driver．One day he was driving along Center Street, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car．They were trying to run away in their car．Mr Li acted at once and drove the Taxi straight at the thieves．Many other people also came to help．The thieves said they didn't think so many people would help．Even the owner of the shop said she couldn't believe she could get her money back．

　　Do you think we still need to learn from Lei Feng? Yes, I think so．Everyone may be in trouble．Sometimes you may be busy．You just need to do some volunteering when you are free．It also helps a lot．Lei Feng's spirit is great．

　　For us students who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult．Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down．If exams are really making you ill or worried, don't hide your feelings．Talk to someone about it．Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study．If one person doesn't help you, ask someone else．

　　How to get through exams? Here are some①________(建議)：

　　Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills-how to work when you are in an exam．

　　Take short rests during your time of work．If your mind is tired, it will not remember well．

　　Plan your work：study at times when you know you will work at your best．

　　Get enough sleep, and eat ②________(健康)food．

　　You need exercise to work well．Walk, run, play sports-whatever you enjoy．

　　Stop thinking about the future and failing．

　　If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries．But don't be too relaxed!③Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them．

　　If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don't do it! In fact, don't even think about the exam you have finished．What is done is done．④ 你不能改變你已經(jīng)寫(xiě)的東西！

　　To this advice, we could add：

　　If you are studying in the evening, don't go straight to bed．Your mind will still be“going round and round”-thinking too much．Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise．Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things．
