I'm Molly Brown, a student from New York. Every day, there are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} terrible rules around me. In the morning, Mom's rules come—“Get up now and make your bed!”, “Don't leave your dirty dishes in the kitchen!” After that, I run to school {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I can't be late. At school, I also have more rules {#blank#}3{#/blank#} —don't be noisy, don't eat in class, …

    I can't play basketball after school except on weekends. Dad's rule is “You {#blank#}4{#/blank#} do your homework.” After dinner, I have to read a book. So I can't relax, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. No games, no TV programs, only rules, rules.

    However, Dr. Know tells me that parents and school are sometimes {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, but they make rules to help us to behave well in daily life. I believe rules are necessary.

Susie: What are you going to do this weekend, Jimmy?

Jimmy: Not much. I suppose I'll just listen to the new CD that I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Susie: Oh, what CD is this?

Jimmy: Well, it's all music. There's no singing. I like {#blank#}2{#/blank#} music that can relax my mind after a long week at work.

Susie: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} nice. Well, if you have spare time, do you want to watch a movie with me?

Jimmy: Hmm, it depends on which movie. I only like movies that are funny. I just want to laugh and not think too much. You know what I mean?

Susie: Oh, in that {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, I'll ask someone who likes serious movies.

Jimmy: What's the movie about?

Susie: It's about World War II and the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} director is famous. I prefer movies that give me something to think about.
