Shopkeeper: Can I help you?

Shopkeeper: What about these jeans? They are made of the best cotton. And they {#blank#}2{#/blank#}trips and sports.

Andy: They look nice, but I don't like the colour. Do you have {#blank#}3{#/blank#} jeans?

Shopkeeper: Yes. They cost 300 yuan.

    A few weeks ago, I visited Sydney, a perfect place to surf (冲浪). I knew I couldn't {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the city without going surfing myself. I booked a group surf lesson when I was in Byron Bay. Byron Bay is a really {#blank#}2{#/blank#} place for professional surfers to go!

    We first were asked to learn how to read the sea conditions and what to expect in the water. Then we did a warm-up by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} along the beach. Next, it was time to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} how to stand on the surfboard. We did it on the sand. After a lot of practice, we were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to go out into the sea and try it out on the water. I have to say, surfing is much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} than it looks. When you watch people from the beach, they make it look so easy! I failed many {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to stand up. Then one of the coaches came to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} me and held my board steady (平稳的).

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I learned how to do that and by the end of the lesson I had managed to "walk on water". It was a pretty amazing feeling and I felt so proud of {#blank#}10{#/blank#}!

    There's a saying, "You are what you eat." It means it is important to eat good food so that we can {#blank#}1{#/blank#} healthy. Kids in Japan are a good example of this.

    A report by UNICRF(联合国儿童基金会)shows that the health of Japanese children tops the world. Experts say there are many reasons of this. A national school lunch program {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a key role.

    In Japan, children{#blank#}3{#/blank#} packed lunches to school in the past. But now, they usually eat lunches in their school classrooms. Nutritionist(营养师)makes the menus for the school lunches. All primary schools and a lot of junior high schools in Japan use these menus. Children hand out food to each other. After lunch, teachers let children {#blank#}4{#/blank#} up the room by themselves. They believe it is also a good way to help improve children's living skills. When they grow up, they {#blank#}5{#/blank#} able to look after themselves.
