— I'm afraid she isn't, because Kitty doesn't like music at all.

    This weekend is Tim's {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(nine) birthday, he asked his father to buy him {#blank#}2{#/blank#}new ipad. But this worries Tim's father much, can Tim use the ipad {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (correct)? Will it be a good or bad present for the little boy?

    We all know that the computer is a great {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (invent) in the world, it is very {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use) for people's life. It's interesting for people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} watch movies or play games with ipads or computers. Now {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (million) of people are using it every day.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}it also may be bad to young people in some ways. Some children are very {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (interest) in playing games or reading books, it may hurt {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) eyes and make their study worse. All the parents hope their children can find better ways of using it.

    In most cultures, when you meet someone for the first time, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is usual to greet him.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(one) a young woman from England went to Hong Kong to study. When she first arrived, she knew {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(less) about the Chinese culture of language. One day, she went to a bank to get some money. To her surprise, the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch. In the British culture it would mean an invitation(邀请) to lunch. Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young {#blank#}4{#/blank#} man) interest in dating the girl. Since this bank clerk was a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(strange) to the British woman, she was very puzzled(疑惑的) and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(quick) answered that she had eaten already. After that she was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}same question.

    By now she had understood that it couldn't be an invitation {#blank#}8{#/blank#}was puzzled why they asked it. In the following days, she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(try) to understand why so many people kept asking this. At last she thought that these people {#blank#}10{#/blank#}be concerned about(关心) her health. She was rather thin at that time and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well.

    Long ago, there was a big cat in the house. He was strong {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he caught many mice while they were stealing food, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} all the mice were afraid of it. One day the mice had a meeting to talk about the way to deal with their common enemy. They didn't agree with each other. Some said this, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} some said that.

    At last a young mouse got up {#blank#}4{#/blank#} said that he had a good idea, "We could tie a bell around the neck of the cat. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} when he comes near, we can hear the sound of the bell {#blank#}6{#/blank#} run away."

    Everyone approved of this proposal (建议), {#blank#}7{#/blank#} an old wise mouse got up and said, "That is all very well, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} who will tie the bell to the cat?" The mice looked at each other, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} nobody spoke. Until now, they haven't decided whether it is a good idea {#blank#}10{#/blank#} not.
