One afternoon, I went into an art museum. While I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} for my friend, I saw a young couple (夫妻). The woman was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the paintings. The man was quiet all the time. I .thought the man was very nice because nobody would like to be bothered (被打扰) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} enjoying the paintings.

    I met them a few {#blank#}4{#/blank#} as I moved through the different rooms of the art museum. Each time I heard the woman talking, I moved away {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    I was paying for some {#blank#}6{#/blank#} at the museum shop when the couple walked slowly to the exit (出口). Before they left, the man {#blank#}7{#/blank#} out a cane (拐杖). "He is a great man," the worker of the shop said. "He {#blank#}8{#/blank#} not to change his life after his eyes got hurt. He can't see {#blank#}9{#/blank#} now. He and his wife-come here whenever there is a new art show. "

    "But what can he get from the art? He can't see!" I said.

    "You are wrong. He sees a lot, more than you and I do," the worker said. "His wife {#blank#}10{#/blank#} each painting so he can see it."

    When I looked through my old photos last Sunday, one photo {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my eyes. In the photo, I was sitting in a chair, hugging Duke, my best friend in the whole world.

    Duke was an interesting name for such a little dog. But he was my friend from the moment I could walk. He stayed with me when I read books. When I went outside playing games, he always drove our cats up to the trees and then walked off feeling proud of himself. When he was hungry he would carry his food dish in his mouth and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it at my mom's feet. When I was sick, he refused {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my bed until I got better than before.

    Now Duke is gone, I won't see him again. But I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a lot from Duke, life can be good when you live it with love and joy. In my heart, Duke is like a teacher who has taught me how we can love and how we can {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

    Millions of years ago, there were lots of trees on the Earth, because summer lasted all year round. A forest{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the Earth like a green carpet.

    What was the forest like? It's not difficult to find out, because parts of that{#blank#}2{#/blank#}forest still stand. The largest of today's rainforest is in South Africa. It covers about a million square miles. All the trees are very tall. The young trees are up to 60 feet high. But it is not easy for some to grow{#blank#}3{#/blank#}, because very little sunlight reaches them.

    In this forest of all trees, not only plant life is rich{#blank#}4{#/blank#}animal life. At different eights live different animals. By the many noises they make you know they are there.
