Claire is my cousin. When we were young, we often went to school{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. So I knew a lot about Claire. When Claire was at primary school, she liked junk food{#blank#}2{#/blank#}hamburgers and ice-cream. She often drank coffee in the evening. Then she stayed up late to{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. At home and at school, she{#blank#}4{#/blank#}exercised. Sure, she wasn't in good{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Her mother took her to the hospital{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a month Because of this, Claire missed a lot of lessons. {#blank#}7{#/blank#}all her classmates were worried about her. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , when Claire was in Grade Eight her life changed. She gave up junk food. She got into the habit of eating healthy food. She liked reading and often wrote something. In 2013, Claire wrote a book about the life of a sixteen-year-old girl. Many children loved her book. As a result (结果), Claire became famous. And she became a great young{#blank#}9{#/blank#}After that people often read her articles on the Internet. Her classmates and teachers were really{#blank#}10{#/blank#} when they read her articles.

    Most people sleep at night, but Frank sleeps during (在……期间) the day and works at night. His work is to guard（守卫） a big {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Frank likes his work. He knows that it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to guard the building at night. If he hears any noise, he goes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to see what it is. Most of the time he walks around inside the big building, but he also walks around outside. When he is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he can sit on a chair by the door (门). It is very cold in winter. He always {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a warm coat when he is working.

    Frank used to feel lonely (过去感到孤独) because no one {#blank#}6{#/blank#} with him in the evening. One night when Frank was walking outside, he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a noise. He went very quietly to the noise to see if someone was there, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he only saw a small dog. Frank talked to the dog. It {#blank#}9{#/blank#} cold. He took the dog inside the building, and the dog followed {#blank#}10{#/blank#} around happily.

    Now Frank is not lonely. The dog is his good friend.

    A young eagle (鹰)was learning to hunt (捕猎)when he saw a large pig running around in the forest below. "Ooh, that looks delicious," he said. "No, dear," his mum said, "you're not {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to hunt something so big yet. Begin {#blank#}2{#/blank#}mice." Being a good boy, the eagle listened to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}mum and learned how to hunt mice proficiently (熟练地). Then he wanted {#blank#}4{#/blank#}pigs again. "No, dear," his mum said, "perhaps you should learn {#blank#}5{#/blank#}to catch rabbits now." So he did so, then he {#blank#}6{#/blank#}of the pigs again. "No, dear," his mum said, "now it's time for young sheep." The young eagle soon became {#blank#}7{#/blank#}at catching young sheep and then one day, he saw a pig running {#blank#}8{#/blank#}below. He looked at the pig, then at his mum's eyes. She nodded and the young eagle took off from his branch (树枝)and flew {#blank#}9{#/blank#} down. He had the pig for dinner that day.

    I don't know what your {#blank#}10{#/blank#} are. I hope that they are big. And I hope that you are taking small daily steps every day that are required to get there.
