Grandmother's Problem

    There was once a grandmother living in her grandson's house. The man loved  1 grandmother very much. However, she had some strange habits, so the man thought she needed medical help. Perhaps, he thought, it was time for her to 2 the rest of her life in a special hospital.

    "I'd like you to examine my grandmother," he told a doctor, "then let me know 3 you think she needs special care."

    "All right," the doctor said, "send her to me next Tuesday."Tuesday came and the old woman went to see the doctor. She 4 in front of him and he asked her lots of questions.  She answered them all, and the doctor was 5  .

    "There's 6 with this woman," he thought."I don't understand why her grandson has sent her to me. Perhaps he's the one  7  needs special care."

    He decided to ask her one last question. "Why do you think," he asked her, "your grandson wants you 8 special care?"

  "I like hamburgers," she said.  The doctor laughed."I like hamburgers, too!"

    "You 9 ?"the old woman said, "I'm so glad. Then you must come to my house and have a hamburger 10 me.  I've got boxes and boxes of them in my bedroom."

    Bruce shook his money box again.

    There wasn't 1in it! He 2 counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52. The bicycle 3 he wanted was at least $90. How on earth(究竟) was he going to get 4rest of the money?

    He knew 5 his friends all had bicycles. It was hard 6 out(闲逛) with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. He couldn't get money from his parents,7 he knew they had no extra(额外的) money.

    There 8 only one way to get money, and that was to earn(挣钱) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr. Clay 9 advice.

    "Well, you can start right here," said Mr. Clay. "You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing".

    That was the 10 of Bruce's part-time(兼职) job. For the next three months, he worked every day after finishing 11 homework. He took dogs for walks and cleaned rooms.

    The day finally came when Bruce counted his money and 12 $94.32. He wasted 13 time and went down to the shop to choose the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, 14forward to show his new bicycle to his friends. Bruce liked his bicycle very much because he had bought 15 with his own money. At last, his dream came true, and his parents were proud of him.

Hello! I am Jenny. I have a 1 brother whose name is Henry. He is only five years old. What does he 2 ? He has brown hair and big eyes. His nose is 3 and his mouth is small, too. 

He is interested in playing 4 and my dad often teaches him to play basketball at weekends. Now, he is in a blue T- shirt and 5 a pair of basketball shoes. 

He likes to eat 6 very much.7 my mum usually cooks it for lunch four times a week. When we eat fish, my 8 often cuts off the head of the fish and eats it. She always says it's 9 . 

Today is Henry's birthday. In the evening, there is a(n)10 in my house. Some of my parents' friends, my uncle and my aunt are all at the party. They also bring a birthday cake for Henry. After eating the 11 , we begin to have dinner. There is a plate of fish12 the table. My uncle 13 , " Henry, here is some fish. " Henry cuts off all the heads of the fish and 14 them into his bowl. And then he says, "Mum, the rest of the fish is for you. The head of the fish is not delicious, is it?"

In our everyday life, parents always hide(隐藏) their love to 15 and show it in another way. But some of us ignore(忽视) it and misunderstand them. Children need to care more about their parents and pay attention to(关注) their feelings.
