In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. I call these things  1 and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming pool. But he did  2 the water. Any kind of 3 ride seemed to give him pleasure.  4 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being  5 the water, moving through it, having it all around me. I was not a strong  6 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 7 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and  8 those summer days with my father, who  9 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the  0 person not in swimsuit.
After swimming, I would go  11 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me  12 anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk while he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his 13 . But my father always showed up and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s fine.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get  14 an ice cream…
A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is memory.” And I think it is not only what we “l(fā)ook at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but  15 , in that childhood, look at us.

Frankenstein is one of the world’s most famous horror stories. It’s about a doctor who creates a new man from the body parts of dead people and brings it to life. But the experiment goes wrong and the monster(怪獸) kills the doctor and many others. The story has been read by millions since it was first published and in the last hundred years it has been made into dozens of movies. Many people are surprised to learn its writer was a 19-year-old woman, called Mary Shelley.

Mary was born into a rich London family in August 1797. She was educated by her parents and when she was 13 decided to become a writer. In 1812, she met the famous writer Percy Shelley and they soon got married. Sadly for Mary, their first child died soon after birth in Italy. In her diary, Mary wrote about a dream: “I dreamt that my little baby came to life again—that it had only been cold and that we rubbed it before the fire and it lived.”

In 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-odl May visited the poet Lord Byron at his home in Switzerland. Because of the bad weather they stayed indoors reading horror stories. One night, Byron asked everyone to write their own story. Mary thought of her dream and wrote the story Frankenstein.

Frankenstein was published when Mary was 21, and became a huge success. Many people didn’t think a 19-year-old woman could write so well and believed her husband was the real writer.

Although famous, Shelley’s life was full of sadness. Only one of her four children lived and in 1822 her husband died in a swimming accident. Mary was broken-hearted and decided not to marry again. She devoted herself to her child and continued to write until her death in 1851.

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish   1  in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.

Recently, a new lifestyle called low carbon life is   2  every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are   3  energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can’t wait  4  my ideas on how to promote it.

First，we should   5  a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy.   6  the no-car day, neither students   7  teachers are allowed to drive to school. At the same time，just walk or run. Use our   8  and enjoy the fun.

Second, we had better not use plastic bags   9  . No one can stand the “white pollution”，   10  it is wise to use cloth bags which can   11  again and again.

12 ，one thing   13  we should keep in mind is that every big thing comes from the small details. So, as students, we ought to turn   14  the lights the moment we leave, use  15  sides of the paper, and reuse our textbooks and so on.

All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these：no-car days, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let’s do it now.
