7．Last June，I （61）passed（pass） The Senior Entrance Examination and had the chance to go to Hebei No.3 High School，which made me very （62）excited（exciting）．During the summer vacation，I had （63）agood time．I went traveling and visited some of my relatives．Of course，I enjoyed different kinds （64）offood．At the same time，I asked my elder brother and sister （65）to（help） me with my new lessons in senior high．
Now I am a student in Hebei No.3 High School，and I like the beautiful school very much．Teachers here are （66）friendly（friend） to us all．The foreign teacher is a man （67）called（call） Mr．Alex，who is short and funny．All of us can not help laughing when he gives us lessons．Besides，we have （68）more（many） subjects to learn than we had in junior school．
With the help of my new teachers （69）andclassmates，I think I can do well in all the subjects．In the future，I want to be one of the top（70）students（student） and pass the College Entrance Examination．I have made up my mind to make contributions to our motherland．

6．On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land，we watch the lines of rain move across the scene，the moon rise over the hills，and the stars appear in the sky．The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house．
Every window in our wooden house has a view，and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before．Each look reminds us where we are．
There is space for our three boys to play outside，to shoot arrows，collect tree seeds，build earth houses and climb trees．
Our kids have learned the names of the trees，and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation．As they tell all who show even a passing interest，maple（楓樹）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees．
The air is clean and fresh．The water from the well has a pleasant taste，and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink．Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water，they never say anything against that．
The seasons change just outside the door． We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars'（楊樹）putting out the first green leaves of spring．The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears，and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter．A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake．

3．Scientists have discovered that（61）staying（stay） in the cold could help us lose weight．Researchers at the University of California found that exposure to the cold increases levels of a protein that helps form brown fat--the type of fat that produces heat and keeps us warm．Brown fat burns energy，（62）whichhelps us lose weight．White fat stores extra energy，which results（63）in weight gain．The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant，（64）comfortable（comfort） temperatures，our body's need for brown fat has decreased．They found that："Outdoor workers in northern Finland who（65）are exposed（expose） to cold temperature have （66）asignificant amount of brown fat when67）compared（compare） to same-aged indoor workers．"The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice．（68）Onegroup was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat．This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets．The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity．People who are obese have（69）lower（low） levels of brown fat than thinner people．Head researcher Hei Sook Sul said，"This protein could become an important target for research into the treatment and prevention of obesity and obesity-related diseases．"She added，"If you can somehow increase levels of this protein，you could（70）possibly（possible） lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food．"
