Lofton is a little village（村庄）in England. It is not f{#blank#}1{#/blank#} from the city of Manchester (曼彻斯特). Not many families l{#blank#}2{#/blank#} around the village, so the people all know each o{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . Most of them are friendly and helpful.
   Though their homes are in Lofton, many people have jobs in Manchester. S{#blank#}4{#/blank#} work in large factories there. A few work in shops or offices. Most of these people go to work by t{#blank#}5{#/blank#} . It usually t{#blank#}6{#/blank#}  about half an hour to go from Lofton to Manchester.
In the evening a lot of people like watching TV. But if they go to see a film or go to a concert (音乐会), they have to go to Manchester, because there are no c{#blank#}7{#/blank#}  in Lofton.
   Like many other villages near towns or cities, it is clean and quiet. So life in Lofton may not be so e{#blank#}8{#/blank#}  as the life in the b{#blank#}9{#/blank#} cities, but it can be just as interesting. That is why people in Lofton l{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  their village.

    About three years ago, I felt very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.I didn't like my classmates ,my parents or anyone else. My classmates didn't want to talk {#blank#}2{#/blank#} me and my parents were always saying that other kids were better than me .I thought I was the most unlucky person in the world.

    One day I had a big fight with one of my {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. I was so angry that I hit him in the face .Just at the moment ,a boy stood up and stopped the fight .He was the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of our class. After that ,he often helped me and we {#blank#}5{#/blank#} good friends . Whenever (无论什么时候) I got angry or sad ,he would help me to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} down .My life begins to change because of the boy ,my best friend .We {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a lot of interesting days together . As time goes by ,I become happier with people and things and get along well with everyone here .And it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} that people around me change , too. My parents don't shout at me any more and my classmates become friendly to me .

    But now I can't often see my best friend {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he is seriously ill and is staying in hospital .How I miss the days when we were together ! I hope he will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and come back to school soon.
