A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I paid no attention to my family or my surroundings.
So, you can imagine what a(an) 16 feeling I had when I learned that my dad had planned a family

vacation for us. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going 17 !”

When we arrived at the campsite, I found that my phone no longer had service. “What’s the matter?” I asked.
My dad said he 18 a place without cell service, and my phone would be useless until we returned

home. I would be trapped in the forest for a week with no way to 19 the outside world! It drove me mad!

On the first night of the trip, I went to bed 20 . But when I awoke in the morning, something 21 .

Instead of burying myself in my phone, my eyes were fixed on something else: my surroundings. I began to

22 the beauty of nature. There were so many things to be discovered: flowers, birds, and other amazing

animals. My anger turned to peace, finally, excitement. I felt 23 as I got so close to the nature. For the

first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad.

The next four days passed in a flash with many fun 24 . I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I

learned how to start a fire together after failing several times. We cooked together and I ate the freshest fish I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life which I had never heard. When the vacation came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my 25 once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. What mattered
most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature. This is exactly the gift I need.

Do you know who was described as “superhuman” by the great inventor and astronomer Galileo? It was Archimedes who solved the king’s problem of the golden crown while taking a bath. He was perhaps one of the most outstanding scientists in the world. He was a mathematician, physicist, engineer, weapon designer and inventor. He was wise in philosophy, active in mathematics and physics. He was also recognized as one of the finest engineers of his time. He was born on the island of Sicily in the city of Syracuse around the year 287 BC and died in 212 BC.
Archimedes showed great love for mathematics. He made many discoveries. For example, he determined the exact value of pi. He invented and developed methods similar to calculus (微积分) and used them to find the area of a circle and an accurate estimation (估计值) of the value of pi.
Today he is regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians in history. Archimedes used his mathematical skills and talents to create useful inventions. One of his most famous inventions is called the Archimedes’ Screw. It was a device that could lift water to higher levels. One of its first uses was to pump water out from a leaking ship. It is still
used today in some places to move water from low places to high places. This invention influenced Leonardo da

Vinci as he worked on developing the functioning flying machine.

Can you imagine counting the sand in the universe? Archimedes once tried to calculate the number of sand grains in the universe. Obviously, it was impossible but it goes to show that he was too smart. His intellectual curiosity and achievements to mathematics, in general, would go on to encourage other mathematicians as well. Most of his achievements were by far ahead of his time. Archimedes was in deed a genius.

While they were travelling together, Huck found out that Jim was now owned by the Phelps, who happened to be the aunt and uncle of Tom
Sawyer. He planned to save Jim disguised as Tom. It was easy for him to be Tom Sawyer because Tom was Huck’s

best friend.

Huck went to see the Phelps and talked with them about the Sawyer family happily. Suddenly he heard a boat on the river. “Tom could be on the boat,” he thought, “and he’s going to walk in here and call out my name before I can stop him. I’ve got to go and meet him.”
So, he told Phelps that he would go into town to get his bags, which were at the boat station. On his halfway to town,his mouth fell open and he looked a bit white in the face.
“Aren’t you dead?” Tom said. “Everybody said that you were murdered!”

“I’m not dead yet,” Huck said, “but listen…” Huck told Tom about his adventures and Tom loved all that.

Tom thought for a bit, and then he said, “I know. You take my bags and say they’re yours. I’ll come to the house in about half an hour.”
“All right,” Huck said, “but there’s another thing. You know old Miss Watson’s slave Jim, he’s a prisoner there, and I’m going to help him escape.”
“Jim?” Tom asked. “But he’s…” Then he stopped and thought. “Right. I’ll help, too. I’ll make a good plan.” He looked very excited.
Huck went back to the house with the bags, and Tom came along half an hour later. Tom told Aunt Polly that he was Sid, Tom’s brother. Aunt Polly was very pleased to see Tom and Sid. Later Jim was held in a shed and Tom

had a risky escape plan. As they carried out their plan, a group of farmers came chasing them. Tom was shot in the leg. Jim was recaptured when Tom passed out.
