Once my mother told me a story. In Africa,when an antelope(玲羊）wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is，“ I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion，or I will be 1. k illed   ’’ At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream. The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the

2. s lowest antelope or I will die of 3. h unger . ” So, almost at the same time, the antelope and the lion get up and start running toward the rising sun.

This is life ： full of chances and challenge. Whether you are an antelope or a lion,you must go 4. a head when the sun rises. For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard，sooner or later，we will fall

5. b ehind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later I knew an exam was a kind of competition. In competitions, there are always

6. w inners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know competition well. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.

Each time 1 saw children playing games and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. However, I remembered my parents’ words： “You must work very hard in order to have a good 7. f uture ’’ So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.

I was still not sure what competition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking competition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. I 8. s uddenly knew what competition was. It is not as 9. c ruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, competition is the opposite ： it is kind and necessary.

I learned a lot from 10. r ealizing this fact. Now I understand more about the world. Competition is important for us all.

We use passwords (密碼）to keep our personal information secret and safe，but some passwords we use may not be as reliable as we think.

Splash Data, a computer security company, recently released a list of the 25 worst passwords of 2011. This list is based on the research of hackers’ files containing stolen passwords. According to the list, “password” is the worst and most common password. Many others on the list are numbers in order either forward ( for example, 1234) or backward. Letters on the keyboard in order, such as “ qwerty ’’ are also common, as well as some first names and animals. “ Hackers can easily break into many accounts(賬戶）just by trying common passwords again and again, ’’ said Morgan Slain，CEO of Splash Data.     How can you make a strong password? It should be eight characters or more，with a mix of letters，numbers and symbols. One way to create a long and easy-to-remember password is to separate short words with spaces or numbers. Having safe passwords is necessary for surfing the Internet safely. But it’s not the only thing you must do to keep safety online.

Here are some other web safety tips：

• Never give out information that will allow someone to find you offline. That includes your full name，address and phone number.

• Don’t include your real name as part of your online screen name.

• Never meet people you met on the Internet in person. If you insist on breaking this rule, meet in a very public place and consider taking an adult with you.

Macao is only forty miles from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. You can get there by sea. It is an interesting place and it had a long history. Macao is part of China and most people living there are Chinese.

The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts to guard the city and the harbor. They also built churches，schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.

Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to gamble with their money. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.

When you are hot and tired，there are small cool gardens to rest in. when you are hungry，there are good restaurants with many kinds of food. Nearby there are some islands, which are also nice and are easy to get to. There is certainly a lot to do in Macao.
