Two girls are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lie) by the lake and talking about their childhood.

Dona: You know what? I used to have short straight hair. When my mum's friends saw me, they said, "Hey, what a lovely son you have!" Isn't that funny?

Cathy: Haha! Did you use to be as wild {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a boy?

Dona: Kind of. I used to play with boys a lot. You know, we used to live in the forest. I always went {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hunt) with my dad. It was fun. Once I hunted for a whole day by {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (I). How brave I was! I also climbed up a very big tree. And my parents were so worried. But I thought I had so wonderful {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (experience).

Cathy: Cool. Well, you don't look like a boy now, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

Dona: No, I don't. I'm {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (much) like a girl now, with long curly hair, and I'm a little bit shy.

Cathy: So you are. Well, believe it or not, I used to be a very fat girl with a round face.

Dona: How come! You're so thin.

Cathy: Well, my mum said that I used to sleep a lot and eat {#blank#}8{#/blank#} lot. She said that I didn't like exercise.

Dona: No wonder you were so fat. Did you use to be very shy?

Cathy: Not really. But I used to be very quiet and I would spend the whole day reading in the room.

Dona: I could {#blank#}9{#/blank#} believe it. Now you even can't stay in the room for a whole morning. You like outdoor activities so much.

Cathy: That's for sure. I need exercise. I don't want to be fat as I used to be.

Dona: Me, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. Shall we do some sports now?

Cathy: Sound like a good idea.

    Danny lived with his mother in a small town. They were poor and got by only with what his mother earned {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a washerwoman. Although they were poor, they were always {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (help) to those in need.

    One day, Danny was walking in town when he {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (see) an old man carrying a huge bag. The man looked tired and hungry. He was walking around asking people to help him carry the bag. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Nobody agreed to help him. Danny offered to give him a hand. The old man told Danny that he had no money to pay him.

    With {#blank#}5{#/blank#} laugh, Danny said that he was just trying to help. He took the bag and put it onto his shoulder. It was heavy! Danny asked the old man where he wanted {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go). He told Danny to follow him. As they walked, Danny {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (realise) that they were heading towards his house.

    The old man stopped right in front of it. "This is my house!" cried Danny. The old man did not say a word. He just {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (turn) around and told Danny, "This bag is for you. Use it well." Then he went off.

    Danny opened the bag and he was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (surprise) to find a lot of money inside. A note inside it said "Help comes to those who help." From then on, Danny and his mother lived happily. They {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (continue) to help those in need.
