    I like the smell (气味) in the air when it first begins to rain. It's {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of clean and fresh. I like the sound of rain when it hits things. I like closing my eyes and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to the rain coming down. and I like hearing {#blank#}6{#/blank#} sounds of rain. I like rainy days, because they give me an excuse (借口) to stay in and be lazy. That is one of the best {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in my daily life.

I was both {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and happy. I gave each of my parents a kiss and said "Thank you" to them.

    Then they gave me a box. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it and wondered what was in it. I quickly opened the cover of it and saw a CD about a flute（长笛）in the box. My parents knew I really liked to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the flute, so they bought it for me {#blank#}9{#/blank#} telling me. I was very happy. It wasn't because of the present, but the love from my parents. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} my parents always asked me not to do this or that, I knew they loved me. I thought that was the best present for me.
