Last summer, Tina's parents needed to work in another city for a month. And Tina had to stay 1 Aunt Betsy in California.

    Tina never saw Aunt Betsy before, 2 she was a little nervous(紧张的). Aunt Betsy told her the 3 in California was hot, so Tina put some shorts and T-shirts in her bag. She 4 put some books in her bag because she enjoyed reading. Her favorite 5 were about horses(马).

    When the 6 came, Aunt Betsy picked up(接) Tina. On the way to Aunt Betsy's house, Tina 7 many horses in the fields(牧场). Tina liked 8 very much and she wished she could have a horse some day.

    When they 9  Aunt Betsy's house, Tina saw a big picture on the wall. It was about a tall brown 10! Aunt Betsy was in the 11, and she was sitting on the horse.

    “Do you 12  the horse? Her name is Lucky. Usually, I visit her 13 a week, every Saturday afternoon for an hour. We can go 14 together this weekend,” said Aunt Betsy.

    Tina felt 15 because her aunt and she had the same hobby. It was going to be a wonderful holiday.

    Once, a king showed two men a large basket in the garden. He told them to fill it with water from a well（井）. After they1 their work, he left, saying, "When the Sun is down, I will come and see your work."

    Soon after one of them said, "What's the use of doing the foolish work? We can2fill the basket."3man answered, "That is none of your business." The first man said, "You may do as you like, but I am not going to work at4so foolish." He5his bucket and went away. The other man said no word and kept on carrying6. At last the well was almost7.

    As he poured the last bucket of water into the basket, he saw a bright thing in it. He picked it up. It was a beautiful gold ring. Just then the king came.8he saw the ring, he knew that he had found the kind of man he wanted. He told him to keep the ring for himself. "You9so well in this little thing," he said, "10now I know I can believe you with many things."

When was the last time you gave or received a hug（拥抱）？ Do your parents hug you before you go to school？ In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.

You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Friends who haven't seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#} After coming to China, I've noticed that the Chinese seem unwilling（不愿意）to hug.

My Chinese friends tell me that hugging is considered to be very intimate （亲密的） in their culture. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Chinese people don't usually hug in public. But people's attitudes towards hugging can also change.

I remember watching a video story about a "hugging party" that was held in shanghai.. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} The Chinese who took part in the party looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They found that hugging didn't have to be embarrassing and could actually be quite nice.So next time you see your parents, give them a hug and see how it makes you feel.

The oil- paper umbrella has a history of over 1, 000 years in China. There are different s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} about it. The most popular one is about Lu Ban. 

When Lu Ban and his younger sister visited the West Lake, it started raining suddenly. They agreed to have a competition. They should i{#blank#}2{#/blank#} something for people to go out on rainy days. 

Lu Ban spent the whole night building ten pavilions（凉亭）near the lake. The next morning, however, when Lu Ban was p{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of his achievements, his sister held something unusual in her hand. It could be opened into a round shape. It was light and beautiful, so people could carry it e{#blank#}4{#/blank#} wherever they went. 

Lu Ban said, "You've solved the problem wisely, so you w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} the competition. " Then the umbrella was made and it received a lot of praise from people. 

Later, people used much cheaper paper instead of silk, cutting the cost of umbrellas. People also brushed tung oil（桐油）across the surface to make them strong.
