My good friend is Bill. He is twelve years old. He {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) born (出生) in New York in 2005. At the age of seven, he {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (start) to go to school. When he was eleven，he {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(leave) New York with his parents and moved to Washington D.C. At his new school, he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meet) me. He became my deskmate (同桌). Because some terrible things were going on, at that time I wasn't enjoying {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(I). I didn't want to say anything to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (anyone). So of course, I didn't say hello to him. However, Bill said to me with a smile (微笑) on his face, "Hi, Dale! Do you need my help?" Bill's smile made me feel better. I didn't keep silent (沉默的) anymore.

    I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (decide) to say something to him. After that Bill and I became good friends.

    Now Bill is still my deskmate. Every day he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (take) the subway to school with me. Like me, he {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (study) and exercises hard. We are in good health. We always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (get) good grades.

    Recently, a very simple sentence, "Amazing, my motherland" has become well-known in China.

    As we know, China has developed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (quick) these years. And it has become one of the most important {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (country) in the world. Foreigners pay more attention to this ancient eastern country—China. Lily is {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Australian girl. She is studying {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a university in Nanjing now. She {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (live) in China for three years. Great changes make {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (she) amazed. “I think finding jobs is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (easy) in China than that in Australia. I will work here after I finish my school work in Nanjing,” Lily said. In Nanjing, we can find new {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (building) everywhere. There {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) much more great changes than before.

    The achievement is so surprising. China is developing the trade {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the friendship with other countries. China is playing an important role in the world.

It's very important to keep (保持) safe at any time! Many students {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the US always take the school bus to school every day. Parents think that taking the school bus {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) very safe. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} sometimes it is also dangerous. Some

students were injured(受伤) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they didn't follow the school bus rules(规定). {#blank#}5{#/blank#} are the school bus rules?

●Arrive at the bus station {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (early).

●Wait for the bus at the bus station.

●{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (not)play around the bus station.

●Don't run here and there at the bus station.

●Don't walk {#blank#}8{#/blank#} fight on the bus when it is going.

●Don't get off the bus if it doesn't stop.

These rules are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (good) for students. Remember them and don't break (打破) {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they). So you can keep yourself safe.
