Do you have any interests in your childhood? In my seventh grade, I developed a/an _____ in solving a Rubik’s Cube. I started by asking my brother to teach me and he asked me to solve a blue cross on a cube by myself.

I spent around 20 minutes mixing the cube and finally got that little blue cross on the top. ______, I jumped up from the chair and raced into my brother’s bedroom. After handing the cube to him, to my surprise, he mixed the perfect blue cross up. Making my work completely disappear.

“Do it again,” he ______ it back to me.

“No, I won’t.” I was angry stepping out of his room.

A few weeks later, my brother wasn’t at home. “I’m going to _____ how to do this without him!” I promised myself. I spent the rest of my night watching a guy on YouTube teach me to solve the first few steps. I mastered those steps.

The next day, I spent the whole school day secretly______ what I had learned the night before. When I made my way to my music class, I tried to find some spare time taking out the cube again and solving what I knew. Noah, my classmate, and also one of my best friends later, laughed at me.

“Do you know how?” I sneered(譏笑）.

“Actually yeah, let me see it. My fastest solving ______ is 15 seconds,” he noted as he began solving the cube. It took him about 25 seconds to finish it.

“Okay, that was cool.” I started solving the cube again. I didn’t know at that time this boy would be my inspiration for cube solving. He taught me each step, each day, and when I ______, he’d remind(提醒) me how to do it. He was the best friend I’d ever had.

Sadly he’s no longer with us now, but the memories of solving cubes together will be there forever. It was this boy who helped me with cube solving. It takes me around a minute to solve a Rubik’s Cube. I am ______ that I can do something not many people can. Thank you, Noah

Playgrounds offer kids fresh air, friends, and exercise. However, each year, more than 200,000 kids go to hospital because they are hurt in one way or another when playing on the playground. So what can we do to improve the situation(狀況)?

We should make sure the playground is safe for the children. It should be soft and thick enough, so when the children fall, they won’t hurt too much. Things like water, rocks or broken glass might cause danger to the kids. Cleaners should check the playground from time to time and clear away these dangerous things. In fact, children themselves also need to help keep the playground clean and safe. That means each time after playing they should pick up the rubbish they’ve produced. If someone finds there is something wrong with the equipment(設(shè)施), he should report to the keeper of the playground, so people will come to fix it.

Teaching kids how to play safely is also very important. Kids should know the rules of the playground, so they won’t get hurt easily. For example, they should never push when others are on seesaws or swings. If someone is going to jump off some equipment, he should first look down to make sure no other kids are in the way. Of course, wearing right clothes may also help to keep safe. Clothes with strings (繩) can get caught on equipment which may hurt the kid badly.

In short, our kids can both enjoy themselves and be safe if we are working together to improve the situation.

1.Do many kids get hurt when playing on the playground every year？

2.What things might cause danger to the kids on the playground?

3.Why should kids know the rules of the playground?

4.What kind of clothes can be caught on equipment?

5.What’s the passage mainly about?
