Mr. White works in a big office. He's able to deal with all kinds of matters, so he's always  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} more than his workmates. Of course he's often busy and has no time to do the housework. His wife {#blank#}2{#/blank#} him well and does all at home.
Bad luck! Their daughter was hurt in a traffic accident last month and had to be in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . Mrs. White was looking after her there and she couldn't go home. As Mr. White {#blank#}4{#/blank#} did any cleaning, the rooms were all disorderly (凌乱的).
Yesterday morning, before Mr. White got up, the telephone {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . He sat up to answer it. His friend told him to write an important telephone number down. But he could find {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a pen nor a piece of paper. Then he found there {#blank#}7{#/blank#} much dust (灰尘) on the table and wrote the number on it. But soon he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it and went to work.
Two hours later his wife came back and looked for a sweater for her daughter. Her husband came back while she was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the table. He couldn't see the number on the table and called out{#blank#}10{#/blank#} , "Who let you clean the table?"

     Mr. Smith{#blank#}1{#/blank#}  from the England. He is an English teaher in NO.8 Middle School. He doesn't know much{#blank#}2{#/blank#} . Does he like{#blank#}3{#/blank#}  it? Sure, he{#blank#}4{#/blank#} . He{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to Chinese classes every week. Look! He{#blank#}6{#/blank#} Chinese now. He{#blank#}7{#/blank#}  working in China very much. He can{#blank#}8{#/blank#}  about something in Chinese now.He{#blank#}9{#/blank#} the Chinese people{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  very friendly.

    When I told my Mends l was going to move from the city to the countryside，they couldn't believe it．I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}because I'd never been out of the city before．Would {#blank#}2{#/blank#}be very different? Well, see for yourself．

    Many things are different about the city and the countryside．In the city, I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.in a tall apartment building with my parents．Our building was filled with people, but I only knew a few of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}．Now we live in an old farmhouse．Our nearest neighbors are about one kilometer away．But all the neighbors are {#blank#}5{#/blank#}．They often come to visit us with lots of food．

    However, some things in the city and the countryside are the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}．In the city, my mom and I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to go shopping on the weekend．We went to different shopping centers．

Here in the countryside we {#blank#}8{#/blank#}shop in farmers' markets on the weekend．The greatest thing that is the same is friends．I made some good friends in both the city and the countryside．We do homework and read {#blank#}9{#/blank#} together every day．

    When I think about the most important things,  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}family and friends, maybe there aren't so many differences between the city and the countryside．Personally, I think they're both great．
