Each morning a rich man found a poor man sitting on a park bench（凳）．The poor man always 1there, looking at the big   2  in which the rich man lived. One day the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, “Excuse me, but I just want to know 3 you sit here and look at my hotel    4 ”.“Sir ,” said the poor man, “I am a failure. I have no money, no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I'll sleep in that hotel.”

      The rich man said, “Tonight your dream will  5  . I will pay for the   6  room in that hotel for you   7  a whole month.”

      A few days later, the rich man  8 the poor man's room to ask him if he was enjoying  9  .To his  10 , he found that the man had moved out of the hotel, back to his   11 .When the rich man asked why, the poor man said, “You see,   12    I'm down here sleeping on my bench, I dream I'm up there , in that big hotel. It's a    13 dream. But when I was  14  there, I dreamed I was back to this cold bench. It was a terrible dream , and I   15  get any sleep at all.”

    I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly (相当地) easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!

    One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn't do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.

    It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann. played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe. I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards. I smiled confidently. Miss Forsythe's understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.

Kate is both my neighbour and my best friend. I first met her five years ago. 

Kate is tall and slim(苗条的). She has long hair. She has big eyes and a small nose. I like her smiling face best. It makes her look really pretty and kind. Kate is a friendly girl. She always has a smile on her face and looks happy. She likes to help people. She helps me with my homework and she is very patient. When I feel bored or unhappy, I often go to her. She will talk to me and tell me interesting things. 

Kate wants to work with children. She would like to be a teacher when she grows up. I think she will be a great teacher. 

As I repeated my shopping list in my broken Italian, the grocery (杂货店) worker in front of me couldn't help 1 . Was he getting mad?

We had just 2 to Italy, and I was trying to learn Italian. We had lived here for a short time years earlier, so I had 3 learned some words. But this time I wanted to 4 the language well. I even put notes on things in the house, labeling (标签) everything in 5 .

We kept a grocery-shopping list on the kitchen wall, and added things on 6 we made a trip to the store. I encouraged my husband to write things down in Italian, so I would get used to reading the list and speaking to the 7 in Italian.

One day we decided to hold a housewarming party because we hadn't met our Italian friends for long. At the party, they all seemed interested in my efforts to learn 8 language when they noticed the Italian labels and my Italian grocery list. I spoke to them in my broken Italian and was 9 that I was already able to understand and join in simple conversations.

The next day, I went to the grocery store 10 with the shopping list. Once there, I managed to 11 most things on the list and find them on my own. But there were some things on the 12 I just didn't understand. So, I found a worker and talked to him in Italian, reading out the 13 things on the list. That's when he started laughing. Quickly, he asked to see the list. "Perhaps someone has 14 on you," he said in English. "Things like ‘husband' on the list can't be found in any store."

Then I realized that while hanging around the kitchen, our friends at the party also "15 " my shopping list.

Julie is a nice girl. Now she is on holiday in Singapore {#blank#}1{#/blank#} her twin sister, Anna. It's a sunny and warm day, so they want {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ( go) and play tennis on the beach. Julie and Anna are very excited, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they run all the way there. 

At the beach, they take out {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( they) tennis rackets and a tennis ball and start to play. Anna hits the ball so hard that it goes behind some rocks. Julie {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( run) off to find it. When she is looking for the ball, she sees that there {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( be) a wooden box behind the rocks. Julie opens it and finds {#blank#}7{#/blank#} old map inside. 

When Julie shows the map to Anna, she can't believe her {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( eye). "This is amazing! Let's take it to the local museum. " says she. The man at the local museum is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( real) happy. He says that it's the oldest map in the country. It tells us {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to find a chest full of treasure(财富). When Julie and Anna know it, they feel very happy. "This is the best holiday ever!" they say.
