①Do you know why Jenny ran {#blank#}1{#/blank#} out of the room?

    I'm the only girl on a baseball team. You might think it is terrible but really it's fun. I love playing baseball. All of my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}are like family to me. We all support (支持) each other. For example, when I pick up my bat and get ready to hit during a big game, sometimes I get {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. But my teammates will pat (轻拍) me on the back and call my name. They call me "Big Mama". When I hear their voices, I feel confident. They're my friends, even if they are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} boys.

    I've been playing baseball for six years. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} coach is also my dad. We practise every day at the park near our house. My dad is strict and{#blank#}5{#/blank#} us to do our best.

    I take advice he gives me and bring it to my game. Last year, my team {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a championship (锦标). But it's not always {#blank#}7{#/blank#} winning. He also tells us to just smile and have fun. We love to get ice cream after practice. Every year, baseball brings me and my dad{#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

    Some people say girls can't play baseball. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that doesn't get me mad. Instead, it makes me play harder. I want to be known for being a good {#blank#}10{#/blank#} , not just for being the girl. If you're a girl who wants to play baseball, I say go for it!

Holly and Maria are talking about what a good friend is like.

H: Maria, what should a good friend {#blank#}1{#/blank#}like in your mind?

M: I think a good friend is good at sports.

H: You mean he or she is strong?

M: Yes. And he or she must be {#blank#}2{#/blank#}enough. He or she often makes us{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

H: Is there {#blank#}4{#/blank#}else?

M: Er, I think he or she must be handsome or beautiful!

H: I can't agree with you. A beautiful heart is much more {#blank#}5{#/blank#}than a beautiful look.

M: Do you think a good friend should be popular in school, too?

H: Well, at least it doesn't matter to me.

Dear Larry,

    It was lovely to hear from you again and to know that things are going {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with you.

    Thanks for telling me all {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the Chinese Moon Festival. It sounds like you enjoyed a great party in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古) . It makes me think of the festival we took part in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} we traveled in South Africa. The people there kept many goats (山羊) , as well as sheep and cows. Beef was expensive and was only for very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} "times. In all our time there we were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} served beef in the villages, because beef is not usually served to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}

    By the way, I happened to see these pictures and thought you'd like to see {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. A Chinese girl gave Tang Suit to Joan and me when she left school. We {#blank#}8{#/blank#} them on in the university car park. Someone took photos for us though I was wearing my kilt (苏格兰短褶裙) ! It seemed to be {#blank#}9{#/blank#}， different that some suggested that I could start a new look.

    We wore Tang Suit to a dinner which was held on the ship in August when we visited Germany. Some Chinese ladies came and spoke to us. They were interested in my traditional Chinese clothing.

    We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} look forward to hearing from you again.

    Best Wishes!

Yours,

Ken and Joan
