1、阅读下面短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
Who can jump the highest at your school? Who has the most skips(跳绳)? Who’s the fastest at solving a Rubik’s Cube?1. Everyone can be the best at something. Recently, Beijing 101 Middle School held an activity called “Guinness Campus” to help students find their potential(潜力).
“2. There are all kinds of projects for you to take part in. And there are also all kinds of records for you to set, ”said ninth-grader Liu Tongyan. “ I chose ‘Domino(多米诺骨牌)Tower’ because I am good at it. ”
Students needed to build a tower using dominoes. Whoever built the tallest tower in one minute won. Liu set the record with 33 levels. “At first I didn’t do it well, so I tried to learn from others. 3. After trying over and over again, I found some ways to do it faster, ”she said. “The game requires you to be calm and patient. If you lose your patience when the tower falls, you may lose the chance to win. ”
Seventh-grader Wang Siqi set a record for the longest juggle(颠球)of a soccer ball with one foot. He did it for 4 minutes and 34 seconds. “4. 我五岁就学着踢足球。I have been practicing juggling for three or four years, so I believe I can do it well, ” said Wang. “Juggling with only one foot needs good balance and stability, which I’m good at. You also need to train hard, for sure. ”
When asked if he was afraid that someone else would break his record one day, Wang said he was expecting that to happen. “The charm(魅力)of Guinness Campus is that we keep reaching higher goals. 5. 如果有人打破了我的记录, 我将会更努力地尝试。That will help me find the potential within me. ”

I have two sides of family. My mom’ s side lives in Minnesota. For my dad’s side, it’s a little different. They all started in New York, and then they all moved to Florida except my uncle. He teaches English at a high school in New York. My family lives in Minnesota with my mom’s side. So we often take vacations to Florida.
There are some “must-do’ s” in Florida. Going to the beach is one of them. Everyone loves the beach, because we can go fishing and swimming there. There are many big theme parks and these are my favorites. Another thing to do is going to the Port St. Lucie County Fair. I went to a rodeo (竞技表演)for the first time. It was great.
One of my favorite hobbies is fishing. One morning my dad and I went fishing with my grandpa, and my twin cousins. I caught an octopus (章鱼)! It was really exciting. I think everybody should try deep-sea fishing. It is wonderful.

22、We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. At school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too. But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

Life is like a journey on a train with its stations, with changes of routes and with accidents!
At birth we get on the train and meet our parents. They are the ones who give us tickets. We b【1】 that they will always travel by our side. However, at some station our parents will get off the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will get on the train, many of whom will be important—our brothers, s【2】, friends, children, and even the love of our life.
Many will get off during the Journey. Some will move to another car for a w【3】 and come back.
Many will go so unnoticed that we won’t even know when their seats are left empty.
This train ride will be full of happiness, sadness, expectations, hellos and goodbyes.
Success is made up of helping, loving, having a good relationship with all passengers, and making sure that we give our best of ourselves to make their journey c【4】.
The question to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will get off. So, we must live in the best way--love, forgive, and o【5】 the best of ourselves to others, including our seats if necessary. It is because when the time comes for us to get off and leave our seats empty, we should leave b【6】 beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
Thank you for being one of the passengers on my train. Have a very pleasant journey of life!
