Last summer I went to India with my family. We spent 10 days traveling around Rajasthan and I will never forget it. We saw lots of things like the Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) and we went to a tiger reserve(保护区). Our guide was called Krishna and he was really nice especially when I didn’t always understand things he would explain it to me and answer all my stupid questions. Also when I got ill with a fever， he was really kind and gave me medicine and got a priest(神父) to give me a blessing in a Hindu temple we visited， and then I got well again very quickly.
There were lots of amazing parts of the holiday. One was when we got to ride on elephants in Jaipur. My sister and I rode an elephant called Lucky. We were in a camel cart but Krishna talked to the camel’s owner and we were allowed to ride on them， which was really cool. I also really liked the Taj Mahal because it was even prettier than I imagined. My sister lost her shoes. But the people in India are really kind， so we found them again. The weather was really hot which was nice because Krishna gave us lots of time to spend in the pool and relax in-between going to see all the amazing places.
This was the best holiday that I have ever been on. I wish I could come back another year.

Some students will have no time to relax， while others have no plan for the coming February.
Denial， a high school student， who is going to take part in the college entrance examination， said he had to go to the capital city of Guangdong Province every weekend. He has found a new professor who can help him prepare for the exam. His family is not rich， but his parents offer him 800 yuan for each lesson and 200 yuan to pay for the bus ticket. He said he would try his best to pass the exam next year. Therefore， he has to practice playing the piano 6 hours a day before every lesson. He said he even thought sleeping was a waste of time. How hard-working he is!
However， not every student has a perfect plan like Denial. His younger sister doesn’t get up until noon. She said holiday was boring because she couldn’t play with her classmates. That’s why she keeps sleeping for a long time to avoid being bored. What a special reason， isn’t it?
Do you like their holiday plans? If not， why not listen to Aunt Li for advice?
Dear students，
How can you have a wonderful holiday? Both relaxing and studying are very important for you. I suggest you make good use of your time every day and make a plan before the holiday begins. Two hours’ study is not a long time， right? Don’t spend too much time playing computer games or watching TV. It’s bad for your eyes and neck. If your parents are free at the weekend， going out for a picnic sounds great.
Have you made up your mind， students?

Most of us probably live without vegetables， but how about a world without chocolate? Now that would be possible! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.
There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage(短缺)—chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa(可可豆)， the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate， not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore， the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However， new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana， the world’s largest producers， have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse， many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber(橡胶). This way， the farmers can make more money.
To prevent more farmers from changing， researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Center， in the UK， are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.
First， each new plant is stored at the Control Center for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Center’s fields， studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease free， will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.
To create new stronger types of cocoa， scientists at the Control Center are combining(结合) the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage， there is now hope!
1.The first paragraph tells us that the world could soon be without vegetables.
2.Chocolate has become more popular in China and India.
3.Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber， corn and bananas because these crops can make them more money.
4.It takes scientists at the Control Center 3 years to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow.
5.One of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Center is to produce stronger types of cocoa plants.
