I enjoy recording(记录)my daily life with photos and I'm still learning more about it.Two years ago, I started to have an interest in photography in my seventh grade. That day, my father took me to watch a photo show. When I saw the photos, I felt quite surprised. The beautiful photos looked really like oil paintings. After the show, I asked my father to buy me a camera(相机). I thought he wouldn't agree with me because of its high price. But a month later, he gave me a surprise on my birthday and said, "Gina, promise me that you'll keep studying photography. Never give it up." I felt so happy and decided to make good use of the camera.After I got my new camera, I went out to take photos of everything I saw. Flying birds, blooming flowers, sleep cats-anything I am interested in. My photos aren't always that wonderful, but I still enjoy photography. Last month I took part in a photo competition. Although I didn't get any prize, I saw lots of good works there and made some friends with the same interest. It feels good to see the world through my camera.

Every app on my phone wanted me to know 11/11 was coming last month. I asked a coworker if it was a special holiday. She laughed and said it's a shopping holiday. "It's just like Black Friday," she explained. I hoped she was wrong.Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. For me, Thanksgiving is the best US holiday. It's the one holiday that does not need us to buy anything special. Yes, we buy turkeys, but we also invite friends and family to share. Usually, each person cooks a different dish and brings it to the meal. It's a day to be grateful-not for turkeys, but for the people we care about. Black Friday is the next day. Starting around 4 am, thousands of people crowd outside of stores and malls. When the doors open, they rush to the shelves. What are they doing?On Black Friday, stores offer(提供)deep discounts(折扣), but they have a limited(有限的)number of items. As a result, it's "normal" for people to fight each other for cheap TVs and laptops-even toilet paper! In less than 24 hours, many people forget the lesson of Thanksgiving. Instead, they become mindless consumers(消费者).Preparing for 11/11, I opened Taobao to find a discount on winter clothes. Two hours later, I found myself a mindless consumer, too. Although I didn't fight in the crowded stores, I got lost among all kinds of goods and kept buying things I didn't really need. Maybe my coworker was right in some ways, 11/11 is like Black Friday. (1)In the US, _ is a day for shopping.A.ThanksgivingB.Black FridayC.11/11 (2)About Thanksgiving, which is not right?A.It's a day to be grateful for the turkey.B. It is the best holiday in the US. C. People don't need to buy anything special but a turkey. (3)Americans do a lot of shopping on the day after Thanksgiving because _.A. everybody goes shopping on that day B. every shop offers a limited amount of items C. many goods are cheaper than usual (4)What did the writer do during 11/11?A. He bought a lot of things on Taobao. B. He got lost in a shopping mall. C. He went shopping with his coworker. (5)What does the writer think of 11/11?A.People might buy some useless things.B. He likes to shop online on 11/11. C. 11/11 is exactly the same as Black Friday. 16. Science is about asking questions. A science fair project is an experiment(实验)or a research effort. Through such a project, you learn how to find problems and how to solve them.A science fair project includes at least three parts: the display poster board, the exhibit(展览)materials, and the written report.The display poster boardThe display poster board is very important.
