Two businessmen{#blank#}1{#/blank#}  (fly) to Australia to play in a weekend golf match. Their team won and they both received green jackets. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}their last night in Australia, they stayed up late drinking beer. They were still drunk in the morning, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they drove their rented car to the airport. The road was empty. Suddenly, something jumped in front of the car. The driver couldn't stop in time and the car hit it.

    The men got out of the car and found a large kangaroo{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  (lie) on the road. The drunken men began to laugh and decided to take some photos with the “dead” kangaroo. One of the men decided to put the jacket on{#blank#}5{#/blank#} kangaroo. So they dressed the poor kangaroo in a green jacket. Then they posed with it for some photos. Suddenly, something amazing happened. The kangaroo opened {#blank#}6{#/blank#} eyes. It was not dead. But it was very {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (anger). The kangaroo hit the two men and knocked them out. Then it ran {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.In the kangaroo's new green jacket were the car keys, a passport, and the air tickets.

    Later that day, a motorist phoned the police. “You're {#blank#}9{#/blank#}going to believe this,” he said, “but a kangaroo in a green golf jacket{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (run) along the road to the airport!” The police finally found out the whole story, and they punished the two drunken men.

    Jane Scott is fourteen years old and last year she {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (begin) to study in a middle school. She likes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (dance) and singing and spends a lot of time on them. But she hates math and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (not study) hard at it. She thinks it difficult to learn math. Once she failed the math exam, and now she decides to give it up. Her father is angry with her when he knows about it.

    It was Sunday. Mr. Scott gave a call to his sister. She teaches math in another school. He hoped she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (come) and tell his daughter how {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (learn) math. The woman came quickly and said, “You're a clever girl, Jane. I'm sure you'll soon do well in math if you work hard at it. ”

    “I'm afraid I can't, Aunt,” said Jane. “I am not interested in math at all.”

    “I don't think so.” said the woman. “You {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (be) good at it if you try your best. You {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do) more exercises and practice a math problem again until you make it. Well, here's a math problem. Think it over and practice it again and again, then you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (work) it out. ”

    “OK,” said the girl, “Let me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (have) a try.”

    About an hour later Jane took the exercise book to her aunt and said, “I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (do) the problem ten times by now.”

    “Well done!” her aunt said happily, “What answers did you get?!”

    “Ten answers.”

    Mohandas Gandhi is called the national father of India.That's because he fought for India to get freedom in a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(peace) way.

    He {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(educated) in law at University College London in 1891. After graduation, he became a {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(law). Two years later,he went to South Africa{#blank#}4{#/blank#}he worked for an Indian company and offered some guidance to the company for its legal problems.While in South Africa, he found himself treated{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fair).

    During the twenty years in South Africa, Gandhi was sentenced{#blank#}6{#/blank#}prison for many times. In 1896, after he was attacked by white South Africans, Gandhi began to teach the Indians a way of non-cooperation with the South African government.

    In the following years Gandhi became a leader in many fights. He played{#blank#}7{#/blank#}active part in starting his movement of non-violence against Great Britain.In order to get economic independence, all of the Indians refused{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(buy) British goods.It was Gandhi{#blank#}9{#/blank#}helped the Indians to develop native Indian industries. He devoted himself to{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(fight ) for equal rights for Indians.

    Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (destroy) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or roofs. One person was killed, several were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (serious) hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were home-less after the storm.

    A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the morning and lasted for over an hour.

    "I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(eat) with my wife and children," he said, "when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(climb) out but then I saw that one of my children was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (miss). I went back inside and found him, safe {#blank#}8{#/blank#}very frightened."

    Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (feel) that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

    Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department brought {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) food, clothes and shelter.

This is where my kids grew up

    For years now, I've been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is more than just a building. In the front room, there's a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines. Every growth stage {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(mark) in pencils, with each child's name and the date.

    Of all the objects and all the memories, it's this one thing in a home that's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hard) to leave behind. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress. Friends I know have visited their previous home only {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(discover) their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. Over the years, I've talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do {#blank#}5{#/blank#} about it.

    They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} work is about capturing the beautiful things in life. She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(take) photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints, and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph {#blank#}8{#/blank#} we had experienced in all those years. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(transform) them into a beautiful history of my family.

    Three weeks later, my children's wonderful gift made its way to me —{#blank#}10{#/blank#} life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
