Hello! I'm Jenny. There {#blank#}1{#/blank#} many festivals at our school. Let me{#blank#}2{#/blank#} you! This month is October. All the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  love October. In October, there is a Sports Festival. We have a basketball game {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a volleyball game during (在…期间) the festival. In the middle (中旬) of this month, we{#blank#}5{#/blank#} an English speech contest during the English Festival. October 19th is the day for a school trip. We go to Beijing {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the teachers. On the last day of this month, there is a Music Festival. On that day, we can enjoy beautiful songs, piano music and so on. It is wonderful. Next month, there is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Art Festival. Students often display (展示) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} pictures on that day. I study and play games{#blank#}9{#/blank#} my school.

    Is it good for students to do housework? Some people think students need not do a{#blank#}1{#/blank#} housework. They think the o{#blank#}2{#/blank#} thing students need do is to study well. I don't think so. It is good for students to do some housework for three r{#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    Firstly, to do some housework can m{#blank#}4{#/blank#} you independent（独立的）. You can't depend on（依靠） others all your life. So, you should l{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to do some housework now. Secondly, to do some housework can k{#blank#}6{#/blank#} you healthy and strong, some hard housework can be treated as a kind of physical（身体的）e{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Finally, to do some house work can s{#blank#}8{#/blank#} your parents' work. They must be happy if you say “Have a r{#blank#}9{#/blank#}, and I will do the housework for you.”

    So sometimes it is not b{#blank#}10{#/blank#} for students to do some housework.

    I am Jackie Lee, an American Chinese. Let me tell you about my grandfather's life story.

    My grandfather was b{#blank#}1{#/blank#} in 1932 and grew up in a poor village in Fujian, China. At the age of 14, he first heard of America. It was said to be the land of gold and poor people could easily become r{#blank#}2{#/blank#} there.

    So, my grandfather came to America. “I thought it was easy to m{#blank#}3{#/blank#} money in America,” he told me, “But when I a{#blank#}4{#/blank#} in Los Angeles, I realized it was not true. I couldn't find a good job because I spoke little English. I wanted to go to a language school to learn English, b{#blank#}5{#/blank#} I couldn't pay for it. Later, I worked in a small r{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, serving the guests, cleaning up the tables, washing the dishes and sweeping the floors. I was s{#blank#}7{#/blank#} a helpful and honest worker that my boss（老板）was happy with me. I was popular with my workmates, t{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Life became easier and in the end I entered an evening school to learn English.”

    My grandfather kept working hard, and finally made h{#blank#}9{#/blank#} dream come true. Things do not come easily in life. That is what I have learned f{#blank#}10{#/blank#} my grandfather.

    A magician (魔术师) was working on a ship. The audience (观众) would be {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (difference) every week, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} parrot saw the shows each week and began to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (understand) how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started shouting, "Look, it's not the same hat", "Look, he is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (put) the flowers under the table." The magician was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (anger) but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the captain's parrot. One day the ship had {#blank#}7{#/blank#} accident and sank. The magician found {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (he) on a piece of wood in the ocean {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the parrot. They stared at each other with hate, but did not say a word. This went on for some {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (day). After a week the parrot said, "OK, I give up. Where's the boat?"
