Our trip to the Mining Museum
On Tuesday 4th April, we took a bus to travel to the Mining (矿业) Museum because we had learning about the Gold Rushes.
__【1】___. We went past some famous places such as Sydney Harbor and the Open House along the way. We also chatted to our friends about what we had seen on TV last night.

24、 I’m Kangkang. My grandma has lived in Beijing for more than forty years. She has seen the changes in Beijing herself.
In the 1960s, the whole city was under poor conditions. The roads were narrow and there weren’t many ring roads. Big families were crowded into small and dark houses. Many families couldn’t get enough food. Few children had the chance to receive a good education. People had little money to see a doctor. And there were few hospitals. People kept in touch with their friends and relatives far away mainly by letter and telegram.
China has developed rapidly since 1978. More and more ring roads have appeared and buildings in Beijing are becoming taller and brighter. People’s living conditions have improved a lot. And there are more kinds of food and clothes for people to choose. Children can study not only in modern schools but also on the Internet. People can enjoy good medical care. What’s more, communications are becoming easier and quicker.
Beijing has made rapid progress. I think it is important to remember the past, live in the present and dream about the future.

25、 It was a cold snowy morning after the winter vacation. And it was my first day at my new school. I was walking alone slowly and worrying about lots of things. It was early and there weren’t many people on the road. Suddenly a girl who was riding a bike on ice fell down. She was trying hard to get up but fell again. Without thinking, I went over and helped her. She said “thank you” with a smile and then rode away. Her words warmed me a lot.
Finally, I got to school. The teacher led me to the classroom and introduced me to the class. Then he asked me to sit down beside a girl. I felt so nervous that I didn’t dare to look at her. Soon the first class, English, started. Their textbooks were different from those in my old school. As I was wondering what to do, an English book appeared in front of me. “Let’s share it.” the girl beside me said, “Hi, I’m Carrie.” I looked up. It was the girl I helped this morning. Later on, we became good friends.
From that I learned: To help others is actually to help ourselves.
