21、Saturday, June 16th
In the morning, we went camping along a road in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our lunch at one oˈclock, it was dark and windy. Soon, it rained heavily. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to stay.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining. There were hours to go before we reached the campsite(野营地). It was even worse that our small compass(指南针) showed that we went the wrong way. We had lost our way!
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining cats and dogs. Chris said we could set up a tent, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, talked and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us were very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.

22、Reading is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.
First, reading is fun. You can always keep yourself happy if you like reading. You will never feel bored or tired.
Next, you can read a book almost anywhere---in a car, on a plane, or even in the bathroom. All you need is a book!
Another good reason for reading is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby, you will get better and better at it. And you will read faster and find it easier to understand what you read. As your reading skills improve, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much better.
Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not true. You can read on computers, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be.
Good readers may become writers too. They always have more things to write about.
If you wish to become a good reader, here are four important points to remember about speed of reading:
Knowing why you are reading---what you are reading to find out---will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.
Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are instructions for making or doing something, solving math problems, and science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important idea.
Some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and news from local newspapers, which tell what was happening to friends and neighbors.
In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow or from slow to fast as you go along. You need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.

25、首字母填空
Before books came into being, people learned stories by heart and taught new ones to each other. A【1】 it was hard to remember them all. Things grew a little e【2】when writing was invented. The first writers made marks by pressing sticks into slabs(厚板) of soft clay. At first, the new marks were j【3】 used to make lists. But soon people wrote down laws, and then stories.
In ancient China, people there first carved words into bone or tortoiseshell. Later they used ink to write on strips of bamboo or silk. Then the Chinese invented paper. Paper-making didn’t come into the West u【4】 A. D.700. At last, it spread to Europe. H【5】, all these early books still had one big problem. If there were pictures, each page had to be painted by hand, one at a time. This made books rare and expensive—though also very beautiful.
To solve the problem, the Chinese carved a page of words and pictures into a block of wood or stone, Then they printed the entire page at once by spreading ink on the block and pressing it a【6】 the paper. This let them make many c【7】 of a book much more quickly.
Then a German invented movable, metal letters, so books became fast and easy to make. As there are more books. more people learn to read.
Once, books were so expensive that only the rich could buy. But with the improvement of people’s living c【8】 books have become a treasure everyone could enjoy. Today, computers let us read books anytime, anywhere while it seemed i【9】 in the past. You can even read a book on your phone. It is really a good way to r【10】.
