Every child likes cartoons，and so do I. When I was young， 1 cartoons on Saturday morning was the most exciting thing. I used to wake up before the cartoons started at 7：30. At that time，no matter what was on TV would make me impatient. But soon，I would be cheered up by my favourite Mighty Mouse，Bugs Bunny and so on. The happiness usually lasted for about 3 hours till lunchtime. And among them，I liked Astro Boy （阿童木） 2 .
Astro Boy is a famous Japanese cartoon character 3 a long history. He4 as a comic book character in 1951 and was the first cartoon character on Japanese television in 1963.
Astro Boy's story began when Dr. Boyton's son Toby died in 5 car accident. Dr. Boyton，a scientist，created Astro Boy 6 his son. When Astro Boy was first built，Dr. Boyton wanted to keep it a secret. But the secret was finally out. People got to know Astro Boy and he became popular soon.
7 Astro Boy is a robot，he has many amazing powers. His eyes can turn into powerful searchlights and his ears can make his hearing stronger by one thousand times. The light from his fingers is 8 to destroy everything. And his legs can turn into rockets，so he can fly higher and 9 . Like a superman，he saves people in trouble and fights against bad men bravely. His stories have continued for more than 50 years in comic books and on television. This cartoon is really a great 10 .
Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs. They loved each other and played together so often that they made a way through the grass between their houses.
One evening，Brownie's family noticed that Brownie didn't come home. They went out to look for him but with no 1 . Brownie didn't show up the next day，and by the next week，he was still 2 .
Spotty went to Brownie's house alone. He barked loudly. But Brownie's family was too busy to care about the 3 dog.
Finally，one morning Spotty refused to take "no" for an answer. He followed Ted，Brownie's 4 ，everywhere he went. He barked，then ran towards a nearby empty ground and looked back，as if to say， " 5 !"
Ted followed the dog across the 6 . The little dog took the man to a tree a half mile from the house. There Ted found the poor Brownie 7 . One of his legs was caught in a trap. Ted wished he had come 8 so that he would have suffered less.
Then Ted noticed something 9 . In a circle around the injured （受伤的） dog，he saw a lot of dog food. It was the remains （残留物） of lots of meals.
Spotty visited Brownie every day. He stayed with Brownie to 10 him. He stayed close to him at night to keep him warm and touched him to raise his spirits.
Lots of people love to keep pets，but they don't know how to communicate with their pets. If your answer is "yes"，here are some tips for you.
Your pet may not exactly understand your words，but it can at least pick up something in your voice. For example，if you speak with it in a cold and hard voice，it might realize that you are unhappy with it.
Use non-verbal （非语言） communication. Your non-verbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. Nonverbal communication is often used to teach your pet to do a certain activity. When you teach your dog to sit，you would actually use both verbal and non-verbal communication （hand signals） to give it the "sit order".
Don't punish your pet. Punishing your pet is never a good idea. Punishment can make your pet afraid of you. However，some pets like cats，can not make any connection between your punishment and the behavior you punish them for.
A. Chat with your pet. B. They don't understand why you do that at all. C. For example，if you are sitting on your horse，you would use your legs and hands to tell your horse the direction. D. In addition，you will possibly lose its trust and respect for you. E. Are you one of the keepers？ |
It was around 10 o'clock at night and it was raining cats and dogs in our street. Everyone was at home，watching TV，reading or sleeping. However，my mom and I had to run back home from shopping to keep us from getting totally wet.
When we arrived home，I asked my mom to make some hot pancakes. It would be great to have pancakes during heavy rains. Later，we three sat at the table，having a good conversation as usual while eating delicious pancakes. Suddenly，we heard a noise from somewhere near my house. We got worried and went outside to see what happened.
We saw a dog，abandoned （遗弃） by someone near the pipe next to our house. I could hardly see any other puppies as cute as this dog，shaking and fully wet on that cold rainy night. I felt sorry for the dog and gave my pancakes and some bread to him. He ate it in just a few seconds. Then we decided to take him home. We gave him good food and a hot shower，and dried him with our own towel and named it Charlie.
Ever since that lucky rainy night，Charlie has been with us. Every day，he plays games happily with us and keeps thieves and unexpected guests out of our home. He loves us as much as we love him. Whenever I have trouble with others，Charlie，my pet dog，will always be there to support me.
Now he is our family member. When someone asks how many people there are in my family，I always say there are four，my mom，my dad，me and Charlie. My pet dog is the best gift I have received in my life.
a. Charlie keeps thieves out of their home.
b. They saw a dog staying alone near their house.
c. Charlie was given food and a hot shower.
d. A noise was heard while they were eating pancakes.
e. They ran back home because of a heavy rain.
To the children，cartoons play an important part in their life. Cartoons can open their minds，free their ideas and help them build up correct ideas of world and life. If you talk to Chinese post 80s and 90s about their favourite cartoon characters，they will probably recommend the following ones.

My favourite thing to do in my free time is to volunteer. I have volunteered in different projects and done different types of work.
However，no matter what work I was given，I loved it the same and I often encourage others to give it a go. Here are the main reasons why I think voluntary work is worth doing.
① It's a chance to get experience and skills.
When volunteering，you are doing a job，even though you're not being paid. So you can get valuable experience and skills which are likely to be useful in the future. For example，some voluntary work can develop your soft skills such as how to work in a team.
② You can meet new people.
One of the best things about volunteering is meeting the other volunteers!They are likely to be very interesting and inspiring people like you，so you may make good friends in this way.
③ ▲
Many people who do voluntary work say that it has helped them to feel more confident in all kinds of ways. For example，I have always been quite a shy person，but my volunteering experience has helped me to build confidence. Now I feel more comfortable talking to strangers，and even in front of a crowd!
④ You can have lots of fun!
Doing an activity that you don't always do，with someone like you，will bring a lot of fun. If you volunteer in an Animal Rescue Centre，you can help take care of animals and play with them. In return，they will bring you a lot of happiness. You will also feel good，knowing that you are doing something for a good reason.
Most importantly，as the saying goes "The roses in her hand，flavor in mine. " We can actually get a lot through helping others. Therefore，I suggest that you look for volunteering chances in your community or city. There are many different things that you can get started with. You can start with something small. Remember that any type of volunteering is good and valuable.
An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon die out. Many species could disappear very soon if we don't do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered but most of them are because of humans. However，there are things that we can do to save endangered species.
Habitat （栖息地） destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered. When humans move into a new area，the animals' habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans cut down trees and build houses and farms.
Endangered species are also the result of overhunting and overfishing. Some seal species are endangered because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Other animals are killed for their fur，bones or skin，or just for sports. Overfishing means that large sea animals like whales and sharks have all become endangered species，because too many are caught to make things like shark's fin soup.
So what can people and governments do to protect animals and stop species from becoming endangered？We should not pollute natural areas，and the public can help by not buying any products that are made from animals' body parts，such as seal fur coats or crocodile bags. Governments can help，too，by making it against the law to hunt，fish，buy or sell endangered species. They can also provide money for nature reserves and zoos. If we all work together by taking these steps，we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can keep living in harmony with other creatures，too.
