My family and I went to the Superstar Circus last weekend. We went to the last show at nine o’clock. The horses performed first. The horses danced around when the band started to play in order to make everyone happy.

The young acrobats (杂技演员）were up next. They put on the amazing performance on

two-legged chairs. The most special one was performed by a fifteen-year-old girl. She rode a bicycle on a rope (绳索)，but it was difficult for her to ride the bike on the thin rope. As she tried to ride from one end to the other, she almost fell down twice. The crowd broke into a loud applause (掌声）when she finally finished her performance.

Next, a large elephant stepped carefully on its trainer before walking over him. The people gave them loud applause once again, ll was actually an exciting act!

The clowns (小丑) offered the people the interesting act during the break. They played jokes on each other and even on some of the people in the crowd. We had a laugh as they finished their act with a funny song and dance.

Sometimes what we write online may have bad results we don’t expected. A few years ago, a girl’s birthday party turned into a nightmare (噩梦). Fifteen-year-old Cathy posted her address (地址） and an invitation to her birthday party online. When her parents got back from the cinema that evening, they couldn’t believe their eyes. There were 500 people at the party, and some of them were even breaking windows, making a mess of the house.

Most teens think they know everything about social media and things like this could never happen to them. A study shows more than many young people have got into trouble because of their online activities.

Here are some important tips. They will help you to be safer online.

RULE1: Share with care!

Not everyone will like what you write on Facebook or WeChat. You can never completely control who sees your texts, your pictures, or your videos. Before posting them, everyone should ask themselves two questions: ‘‘How will I feel if my family or teachers see this?” and “How might this post be bad for me in three, five or ten years from now?'1 RULE 2: Be polite when you write!

Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. You don't like it, right? Well, the same is true of online communication. Politeness matters, and anyone can be polite. No one likes it when you “shout” in your messages. If you feel angry or upset while you're writing a message, wait a bit. Read it again later and then send it.

RULE 3: Protect and respect (尊重)！

Don't share your passwords with anyone. Don't post your home or email address online. Pay attention to “cyberbullying (网上欺凌)” 一 don’t say anything bad about other people. If you get messages like that or see them online, talk to parents or teachers.

A. You can share your personal information online.

B. You can write online at any time whether you are angry or not.

C. You can write something impolite online if you don't like someone.

D. You should predict what will happen to you after writing something online.

40. What is the pattern (模式）of the passage?

A. Opinion — Reason pattern 

B. Question — Example pattern

C. Problem 一 Solution (方法）pattern 

D. Cause — Effect (结果）pattern

Our school advises us to do meaningful activities during the summer holiday. Here is my

plan.

First, I will go to an old people's home with my friends for volunteering. We will sing songs and read stories to cheer them up because they always feel lonely. Besides, I plan to visit Ningbo Museum. There I will know more about the history of Ningbo, which is very educational. What's more, I’d like to share a book named Robinson Crusoe with my classmates. From Robinson we can learn to be brave in face of difficulty. Last, I will also help my parents with housework such as sweeping the floor. In this way, I can develop my independence and learn to take care of myself.

I think I will have a meaningful summer vacation with these activities.
