lesson about 53 . When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this 54 because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that

Have you ever heard of ALS Ice Bucket Challenge? Certainly you do. It is an activity held by an American charity. It not only helps the ALS patients to get the money to treat their disease, but also makes more and more People know about the disease, so that they can give more care to the patients.

Ice Bucket Challenge became popular on social media during July-August, 2014,In the USA.The organizer holds the activity to make people experience ALS patients’ pain. In the activity, people need to pour the ice water down from their heads, and ten nominate another three people to

take part in the challenge. Within 24 hours , They can choose to

accept the challenge, or donate 100 dollars, or do the both.ALS makes people's muscle become hard. So it is hard for the

patients to move.Stephen Hawking, a famous British physicist, is one of the patients. This activitymakes people know about the illness and the pain that the patients suffer.

六.任务型阅读 阅读下面短文,并根据所读文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词,每空只填一个单词(每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)Success is not easy to talk about because for some people it

means power( 权 力 ), for some people it means wealth( 财 富 ), for

others it is fame(名声) or great achievements(成就). But I have my

own understanding of it. There are different ways to succeed.Success means to try your best. Many people believe that

success means to win. In my opinion, it means to try your best when you do everything, no matter you will win or not. When you are taking part in a long-distance race, if you keep on running as fast as

you can, you are successful, although you may be the last to pass the finishing-line.

Success means to work hard. No one can be successful without any hard work. Tomas Edison succeeded, because he had

experimented(实验) thousands of times to find the best material for

lights. Every success calls for hard work. Success means not to lose heart. No one can always be the

winner. You will certainly lose or fail some day. It is important for you not to lose heart. Nobel had failed many times when he was doing his experiments. Sometimes his lab was on fire and he was nearly killed. But he never lost heart and kept on trying. Finally he invented

a new explosive(炸药). So when you fail or meet any difficulty, just

believe in yourself, stand up and give the difficulty a heavy strike(一击).

Trying your best

Whatever we do, we should do 79 best, no matter we will win or not.When you 80 part in a long-distance race, if you keep on trying your best to 81 , you are successful, although you may be the last to pass the finishing-line.
