A man was tired of living in his small house in the country.  He wanted to sell it and buy a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  one than the old one nearby. He tried to sell it for a long time, but{#blank#}2{#/blank#} wanted to buy it. So at last, he decided to use a house salesman. The salesman soon put a picture of the man's house on a magazine. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  days later, the owner saw a very beautiful picture of the house, with a wonderful introduction to its gardens, on a magazine. After the house owner had read {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the whole introduction, he at once called up the salesman and said,“I'm sorry, but I've decided not to sell this house after all. After {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  your introduction, now I know that It's just the kind of house I'm going to live in for the rest of my life.

    If you visit a Chinese family you should knock at the door first. When the door {#blank#}1{#/blank#} you will not move before the host says: Come in, please." After you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the room you will not sit down until the host asks you{#blank#}3{#/blank#} a seat. When a cup of tea is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} on a tea table before you, you will say "Thank you" and take it with your two {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, or they will think you are not polite. Before entering the house in Japan, you should take off your shoes. In European {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, even if your shoes become very dirty, this is not {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. In a Malay house, a guest never {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has {#blank#}9{#/blank#} enough. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it. This will make the host very pleased.

A: Hello. Nick! Have you {#blank#}1{#/blank#} David?

B: No, I haven't. What' wrong?

A: I found a yellow jacket on the playground. I think it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

B: It can' be his. The jacket is much too small for him.

A: Then it {#blank#}3{#/blank#} be Bob's. I saw him on the playground just now.

B: But Bob' jacket is black.

A: {#blank#}4{#/blank#} do you think it could be?

B: Let me have a look. Oh. It must be John's.

A: Why do you think so?

B: Look! I found his school ID card in one of the pockets(口袋).

A: You're right. Let' go and give it to him.

B: OK. He is in the library and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} books. Let's go.

    There is a park near my house. In the park, there are some bushes(树丛). I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}enjoy doing some reading on the bench (长凳) beside the bushes, but now I always tell myself{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the bushes.

    Last Sunday, I went to read on a bench there. I was{#blank#}3{#/blank#}reading my favorite Sherlock Holmes when I suddenly heard something{#blank#}4{#/blank#}from the bushes. I thought it{#blank#}5{#/blank#}be a cat or something like that and took no notice of it. Suddenly, a yellow four-legged, cat-like animal ran past me. I couldn't help shouting! I{#blank#}6{#/blank#}what it was. And{#blank#}7{#/blank#}as fast as I could.
