A few months ago, a strange thing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (发生) in my life. I heard a strange {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (噪音) outside the window every night. I was scared and didn't know what to do. I thought there might be a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (小偷) standing outside the window. I asked my parents to see what it was. But they didn't find {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (任何东西). They thought it might be the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (风). But I didn't think so.

    That lasted for a few days. I couldn't sleep {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (好). Sometimes I even couldn't fall {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (睡着的). One day, I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (买) a flashlight(手电筒) in a market, At  midnight, as soon as I heard the strange sound, I jumped out of my bed with the flashlight. I saw a black cat jumping up and down {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (在……附近) the window. He might want to make friends with my pet cat, but he couldn't get into my house.

    Do you think it is strange? Have you ever had this kind of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (经历) in your life?

    Dogs are good pets. They are very f{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to people and also very beautiful. Most dogs get on very well with children and their parents. Others are good watch-dogs b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} they bark loudly when a stranger arrives.

    When you buy a dog, an important thing to think about is its s{#blank#}3{#/blank#} —buy a small dog if your home is small and a bigger one if yours is larger. Many people don't know how much to feed their dogs. Dogs eat a{#blank#}4{#/blank#} anything! They like meat, rice and lots of other things. You can buy lots of food made for dogs in shops. Don't let your dogs eat too much. Feed it only once a day. Always l{#blank#}5{#/blank#} water for your dog. It can get thirsty very quickly, especially in s{#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

    Remember that dogs need exercise. You should take it for a walk every day. Don't keep your dog i{#blank#}7{#/blank#}all day.
