that’s the reason for running for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.
I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, I want them to have the c 84 to go to college—even if their parents aren’t rich. And I want them to get good jobs: jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them s 85 time with their own kids and retire with dignity (尊贵).
Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to p 86 our country—but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe.
I am so proud of both of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am grateful every day for your patience, confidence, grace, and humor as you, your mom and I prepare to start our new life t 87 in the White House. Love, Dad

A few years ago I became interested in green issues, and last summer I decided I really wanted to do something to help the planet. I talked to Hazel and the children, and we decided to go green. cars – we had two. That wasn’t a problem because we live in a town and there’s good public transport. Anyway, I’ve always liked walking and we’ve all got bikes now. We’ve s 82 eating meat, and started eating more vegetables. We don’t go to the supermarket, but we buy and eat food from a local f 83 , and I grow a lot of our vegetables in the garden. It’s great! We’ve saved a lot of money because we don’t buy things we don’t need. Next week I’m getting some hens, so we can have our own eggs.

You might think that castles exist only in fairy tales, but castles are real places that were used by real people long ago. Castles in Japan and in England did not l 81 the same, but they were all used to protect people and animals.
English castles were usually b 82 using stone or bricks. Japanese castles were usually made of wood. In both countries castles had moats, or small rivers, around them to protect people and animals within the walls. The b 83 across the moat could be pulled up to keep out unwanted people.
Both countries developed a style of castle with inner walls as well as an outer wall. This meant that an attacker who got past the outer wall would still not reach the people who lived i 84 .
In the center of a Japanese castle of this kind was a tower that could be well defended（防卫）. The lords of the castle usually lived in a 85 building. The soldiers lived outside the castle, but nearby in case there was an attack.
In England, living in a castle was like living in a small town. Castles were always b 86 places full of farmers, animals, and soldiers.
Today castles are not used in the same way that they were used many years ago. In each country we can visit castles and i 87 how people once lived.

Because deaf people cannot hear, they have special ways of communicating. One way is lip (嘴唇) reading. With training, people can learn to understand what someone is saying by looking at the m 81 of the speaker. Speaking is possible but difficult for the deaf. Because they cannot hear their own voices, it takes a lot of training to be able to make the c 82 sounds, and not all deaf people can get this skill. The way of communicating is sign
language, which is the most useful in real life.
In many ways, sign language is s 83 to spoken languages though actually there is some difference. The “words” of sign language are its signs. The signs are formed with movements of the
hands, face and body. Each sign has a different meaning. Signs are mixed up to form sentences. The basic sign language is hand signs that take the place of letters. The signs, which are put together, can e 84 the same thoughts, feelings and so on as a spoken language. And just as different countries usually speak different languages, most countries have their own variation (变化) of sign language.
In addition to knowing sign language, it is also helpful to know s 85 about
how deaf people communicate. Hand waving or hitting a table or the floor to get someone’s attention is fine. Also, lots of eye c 86 is necessary. Information can be read from their eyes. Lastly, it is good to remember that most deaf people s 87 think of themselves different from other people, and you don’t have to, either!

How many people travel every year? Perhaps the moment you are reading this story, more than 100 airplanes will have taken off all over the world.

and set a reminder (提醒). If you want to find local food or a museum, just turn on an app. Isn’t that advanced (先进的)? For example, Google Cardboard is a cheap virtual reality device (虚拟现实装置) that is used with your smartphone. It makes you feel like you’re r 83 there. If you want to visit the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the device will lead you to the tower and show you the way to get in.
Airports make a difference
The picture of a chaotic (混乱的) airport is d 84 . Maybe we won’t see it any longer. Future airport designs aim to focus on a local feel. Travelers will be greeted by local artworks as they wait for their luggage. They will also provide local street food in waiting areas. Now we have some good e 85 . Travelers can enjoy a mini-jungle inside Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The library in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol also gives travelers a unique experience. How should other airports show their local features in the future?
The rise of experience hotels
In the future, travelers may not always stay in normal rooms. They have started to find some i 86 places to make their travel experiences more colorful. Can you imagine swinging into a treehouse by a zipline (滑索)? You can find o 87 in Laos (老挝). How about sleeping in a Trojan Horse? Just go to Belgium. Travelers will look for more fun experiences from their accommodation (住宿) in coming years.

London g 82 quickly. Around1600, the population was a quarter of a million. By 1700 it was already half a million and by 1900 it was about one million. In 1750 one in ten of the population of Britain lived in the capital compared with one in forty in France and one in eight in Spain.
Most of the old city was burnt by a great fire in 1666. A 83 the fire the city was rebuilt. Three centuries later, m 84 of central and eastern London was damaged in the Second World War by bombs.
London was once an important sea-port(海港). It was the closest port to Europe. Ships came up the river into the middle of London. Goods(货物) were b 85 into the port and were taken all over the country by canal and later by rail and road.

More play and less work makes for more talented(有才能的) children. Some officials suggested that school hours for children aged 7 to 12 should be reduced, and that they should be e 81 to spend at least an hour a day on team sports.
All work and no play makes children depressed. Becky, an 8-year-old girl, used to be happy when she finished classes every day, but now, life has
become unhappy. To make sure she has enough time for the lessons, she has to study until 11 at night to finish her homework.
Some ideas are offered for helping cultivate(培养) kids’ talents. The ideas i 82 cutting down classroom hours, introducing more team sports for children, getting parents to stop putting too much pressure on children and some other suggestions. It is believed that all these can help train young people to be confident.
“I used to go to the park with my parents on weekends before because I like playing tennis with my dad and I can play well,” a boy said, “But now, I h 83 have time to do that any more.”
“I would like to try other things, such as drawing,” Nara said. She was interested in drawing, but her parents thought it was not a bright way for her.
Children now spend more time doing homework than playing, and we all know it’s quite n 84 for them to have plenty of sleep. A lot of homework and heavy school bags are driving more young children away from a joyful childhood.
Parents believe that b 85 well in school is a sure way to make their children have a bright future. The study showed that about 80 percent of parents said they expected their children to get a university degree or some form of higher education. About 15 percent of students in primary school and 40 percent in middle school said they thought their parents were not s 86 with their marks.
“Parents must always be willing to talk to their children and make them happy,” an educator advised, “Encourage him or her to be confident when he or she faces d 87 . Parents should know what their children like and what they want.”

device, the Apple Watch. Mr. Cook said it is the “most personal” device Apple has ever c 81 . The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist(手腕). There will be three models with straps to attach them to your wrist. An Apple Watch will be able to do many of the s 82 things as an iPhone. It will show email, texts, news, health readings and other information. These apps will be customized for the watch. It will be different than just seeing what is on your phone.
Like a phone, you will be able to r 83 calls on your wrist. Mr. Cook smiled while describing this. ‘I've been wanting to do this since I was five years old,’ he said. ‘The day is finally here.\has only been something possible in the future.
Mr. Cook said you could capture and send your heartbeat to another person with an Apple Watch. ‘This is a closer w 84 to tell someone that you are thinking about them,’ he said. ‘I hope someone sends me one of those.’
The watches will be a 85 in stores in late April. They will be sold at different prices, beginning at $349 to its high-end model of thousands of dollars. Apple hopes to excite consumers so they will want to buy and wear computers on their bodies. The first smartwatches from Samsung, Sony and LG have not been selling well. O 86 five million smartwatches were sold last year. Another wearable computer, Google Glass eyewear, is no longer on the market. Like a phone, it will also need to be charged each night. It remains to be seen w 87 people really want to carry both a smartphone and a smartwatch.
