My mother is very nice. She is a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （work） in a clothes store. She usually gets up at 6: 30. Then she cooks breakfast for me. After {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（have） a bowl of porridge and some broccoli, she goes to work at 7: 30. There {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （be）usually many people in her clothes store. So she is very busy.

    My mother's work in the morning is over at 11: 45, and starts again at 1: 30 in the afternoon. So she has to have lunch in the store. Her work in the afternoon {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (end) at 5: 30, and she goes home at 6: 30. Then she has dinner with {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (we）at home. After dinner we watch TV together.

Dear Mike,

    Can you believe I'm in a school of 2030 now? The school is like a  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(beauty) garden. The wall {#blank#}2{#/blank#} our classroom is colourful. Our school {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live) is interesting and wonderful.

    In the morning, we have {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(third) lessons. We study on  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Internet. We use the e-books. The teachers are all robots. They are in different sizes {#blank#}6{#/blank#} they can answer any question about any subject. Our music robot teacher {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (play) the violin well. In the afternoon, we go to Mars {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (have) two classes by plane. That looks like our plane and spaceship. I can make {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  (friend) with aliens. They are friendly and know {#blank#}10{#/blank#} well. After class, we play football with aliens. Then we go back to the Earth. Don't you think the life in this school is very interesting?

Yours,

Mary

    Which do you love to use when you are studying, iPads {#blank#}1{#/blank#}books? Here is{#blank#}2{#/blank#}survey about it.

    Some students think that iPads are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(good), because iPads can give them more choices. They can look {#blank#}4{#/blank#}information in an iPad more easily. At the same time, students can send pictures {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(direct) to a printer to photocopy them. With an iPad, they can keep all their work in it. And they will not forget homework {#blank#}6{#/blank#}teachers can send all the homework to their iPads.

    But others think that books are more {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(help) for learning. First, reading books won't hurt .their eyes. Second, books can help them think harder and deeper, because they may ask themselves some {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(question) when they read books. Third, some students usually use iPads {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(play) games at school, and it is not good {#blank#}10{#/blank#}their study. So they like to use books better.

Breakfast or Lunch?

    After a full week of working or studying, maybe you're too tired to get up early {#blank#}1{#/blank#}Saturday morning. When you finally get up, you've already missed(错过) breakfast, but lunch is still a few hours away. So what do you do?

Well, brunch is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} good idea. Brunch gets its name from the first two {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (letter) of breakfast and the last four letters of lunch.

    Brunch is becoming {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(popular) among young people than before. Beautiful brunches help {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they) get more "likes" on the Internet. In Australia, brunch culture is also popular. I decided {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (try) it with my friend. We visited a cafe that was famous for its flower theme(主题). There {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) a wall full of different kinds of colorful flowers. The food and drinks also had this theme.

    The "flower" brunch tastes great. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you miss your breakfast, you can go there to have a big meal.
