Susie: What are you going to do this weekend, Jimmy?

Jimmy: Not much. I suppose I'll just listen to the new CD that I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Susie: Oh, what CD is this?

Jimmy: Well, it's all music. There's no singing. I like {#blank#}2{#/blank#} music that can relax my mind after a long week at work.

Susie: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} nice. Well, if you have spare time, do you want to watch a movie with me?

Jimmy: Hmm, it depends on which movie. I only like movies that are funny. I just want to laugh and not think too much. You know what I mean?

Susie: Oh, in that {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, I'll ask someone who likes serious movies.

Jimmy: What's the movie about?

Susie: It's about World War II and the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} director is famous. I prefer movies that give me something to think about.

    Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother reads magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we{#blank#}1{#/blank#}life without paper or print?

    Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could{#blank#}2{#/blank#}be produced one at a time by hand and they were expensive and rare. Because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.

    Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. Then more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and{#blank#}3{#/blank#}spread quickly.

    Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines,{#blank#}4{#/blank#}MP3 players.

    Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? I am not sure.

    I'm Sue. There are many {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in my family. I must help my mom make food in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} After dinner I must help do the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I must do a lot of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and sports. My parents think they are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for me. I must get up at 6:00 every morning and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} playing the violin after school. I can't go {#blank#}7{#/blank#} or {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to music on school nights. On weekends, I must clean my room and wash my clothes. The rules are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} but I think they can help me. So I always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} them.
