What do you think is the most magic thing in the world To me, it is a smile. A smile can start a friendship (友谊) , stop us from getting angry with each other and also make us feel warm.
Last year, I came here to be a middle school student. I had no friends then and felt very lonely. One day between classes, I ran in the playground. Suddenly I fell over heavily and lay on the ground. I tried to stand on my feet, but I was unable to do so. My ankle (脚踝) was hurting badly. I felt very uncomfortable and did wish that
nobody saw me. But just then I saw a boy running straight towards me. As I looked up, I saw a big and pure (淳朴的) smile. It was from my new classmate Leo. I felt so warm inside. He held my hand to help me stand up. Without saying a word, only a smile started the friendship between Leo and me.
Even best friends quarrel (吵架) sometimes and so do Leo and I. Last week after quarreling, I went home impolitely. Later I calmed down and felt terribly sorry for my rudeness. However, I didn't know what to do with the problem. Then, one day, I sent a smile emoji on my phone to Leo. I waited all day, worrying that he would never talk to me again. In the evening I was doing my homework when suddenly a ringtone (铃声) came to my ears. Leo video chatted with me! I saw a face of big smile on the screen. At that moment, all the complaints (抱怨) and embarrassment (尴尬) went away and there was only full understanding and friendship between us. That’s the magic of a smile.
As you can see, the power of a smile is great. Try to give others smiles every time and you will live in a magical world!

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.___66__ Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say ” instead of “What did you say ” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. ___67___ Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. ___68___ In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”.
There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook ” But the British often leave out the helping verb. ___69___ Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. ___70___ Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
A. English is widely used in China. B. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. C. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. D. They say “Have you a storybook ” E. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. F. First of all, they sound very different.
