It's over three years since I began to learn English. I'm glad that I am getting on well with it. I find English quite difficult, but very interesting. When I first______________________________ , I thought I had only to remember the new words and learn some grammar. I knew________________________________________about English idioms . I thought each English word had the same meaning in Chinese. When I learn to say "I see a book on the desk", I thought the English word "see" was________________________________________ like the Chinese word "kan". So one day when my teacher asked me, "What are you doing?" I answered, 6'I'm seeing a book." 66That's wrong," the teacher said. "You don't see a book. You read a book. You can't use English words like Chinese ones. Be ________________________________________of to make the same mistake again."

After that I began to pay more attention to the differences between Chinese and English. For example, in English we say a "high mountain", but a "tall man". In Chinese we use the same word "gao" for both. Again in English we say " __________ the sports meeting", "attend the meeting" and "join the army",______________________________in Chinese we can use "can jia" for all three. It's interesting, isn't it?
So to study English doesn't only mean ______________________________, it can be great fun, too! We not only have to pay attention to pronunciation, grammar, spelling and handwriting, we also have to understand English idioms. We can learn English well only in this way.
But all this is only a beginning and I still have a long way to go. I'll try my best and work even harder than before. I must speak and listen to English more ______________________________ in and out of class. I must learn English well so that I can work well when I grow up.

It's every teenager's nightmare: exam time. During the last three days of the term, we have six exams.
My easiest exam was maths. All of its questions were from earlier exams.
The biology exam was hard. At first, I thought I had failed it. It asked lots of things we never studied in class, so we could use our textbooks. But there wasn't enough time to check every question. I guessed on many of them. But my teacher said I did well.
On the career planning and computer applications exam, we had a lot to do: a PowerPoint presentation, a book report and a class evaluation. I felt like I needed more time, but some of my classmates didn't think so' much. They just quickly wrote down some answers and then played games.
I don't think I did very well in the English exam. We had to write an essay（读后感）about books we've read in class. But I didn't study enough.
At our school, we can "test out:' of some classes. That means students can study by themselves and then take a class exam. If they pass, they don't have to take the class, I tested out of both computer and health classes.
Studying for those exams was terrible. Those classes go for six months, but I had to teach myself everything in three weeks. Also, I had to do three big projects at the same time. I watched no TV for almost three weeks! I am so glad it's all over, and now it's the summer holiday.
For my classmates, it will be two and a half months of fun without school and homework. But I'm a Chinese, and you know what Chinese parents do with their kids' free time: still more homework.

D．Read the passage and answer the questions（依据短文内容回答问题）：（共12分）
One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one-after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite（咬）the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and、started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.” The others thought for a while and said: "That was why!’’A smart French said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.”Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense. A Japanese said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.”once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked,'6Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?" Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty（忠诚）or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
