It was meant to be the holiday of a lifetime—my first trip abroad alone, without my parents. I had organized everything myself and I would show them how independent I could be.

    I had arranged to stay in a farmhouse outside a village in southern Italy. My schedule said that the plane would arrive in Italy at five o'clock in the afternoon and it was a thirty-minute drive from the airport to the village. I wanted to get to my destination before it got dark, so I could have a drink, watch the sunset and enjoy an evening meal.

    The problems began at the airport. My plane was three hours late taking off. I walked around the airport, looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the cafes. I didn't eat anything. That was a mistake! When the plane finally took off, they gave me a cold, tasteless meal which I could not eat.

    We arrived in Italy in the early evening and I was feeling lightheaded from the Lack of food. The sun was setting as I was collecting my bags! I missed it completely! I went to the desk to find my hire car and that was when I discovered the next problem. The receptionist couldn't find my name in the computer and there were no more cars. There were no buses or trains to the village, and the taxis were in strike.

    The receptionist felt sorry for me. She phoned her brother, Alessandro, who agreed to take me to the village. I waited for Alessandro at the front gate and he arrived driving a very old car with smoke pouring out of the engine. We set off. Fifteen minutes later we broke down. I was tired and depressed and very, very hungry. I began to think my parents were right. Maybe I was too young to travel on my own. Luckily, Alessandro was a mechanic. After an hour, he fixed the car and we started driving again.

    It was nearly midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse. A man opened the door and smiled. "Come in," he said. "We have been waiting for you." I sat with a group of the friendliest people I've ever met and had a meal that was absolutely wonderful. And I'm glad to say that the rest of my trip runlet out to be exactly the same.

It's hard to imagine life without the Internet. How greatly it has changed our lives in the past 15 years since it was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (wide) used! {#blank#}2{#/blank#} , the Internet has also caused some traditions to fall away.

E-mail is quicker and cheaper. It's also very convenient {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(ring)up people no matter where he or she is. Getting a handwritten letter from a friend has become a rare(少有的) {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(pleasant).

Who would like to pay 60 yuan for 12 songs in a plastic case if you can find music online for free?

When almost any fact can be found within seconds through Google and Baidu, personal memory becomes less important. The {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (website) can remember it for us.

When was the last time you watched the world out of a window? When was the last time you read a favorite book once again? When was the last time you sat in the cinema with your family? More and more people lose 

{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) on the Internet. They show less interest and spend less time in the outside world.

You've spent the past few years {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (talk) with your friends on WeChat, or reading about their moments(朋友圈). Meeting {#blank#}8{#/blank#}friend is no longer as important as it once was.

Have you ever found yourself doing homework with one eye on a WeChat window? A growing number of people say the Internet is stopping young people {#blank#}9{#/blank#}focusing their attention on anything for a long time.

When you surf the Internet, it feels like something you're enjoying and nobody knows it. But when you realize just how many people are watching your {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(day) life, it might just make you mad. Many people have realized their personal information can be easily found on the Internet even if they don't want to.

Betty is not beautiful . She is too tall and thin. The kids in our class often laugh at(嘲笑) her, so Betty is 1 happy in school. 

I like making many friends, 2 I don't like talking with Betty. Just like other girls, I stay away from 3 , enjoying being with my group of friends. 

On the last day of the term, Mom says, "Ella, Betty will spend(度过) the 4 with us. "

"5 ? No one likes her. If my friends know it, they may 6 being friends with me. "

"Betty's father left. Her mom has to work. I must help her. She will come tomorrow. Treat her like yourfriend. OK?"

On the 7 day of the holiday, Betty comes over. We do homework, make meals and play chess, …We don't 8 a lot, but I get to know more about Betty. She's kind and she is good 9 making things. 

One sunny day, Betty says she wants to make a small treehouse in the old tree in the yard. I am interested in it. So when Betty does it, I 10 her. Finally, we work together to build the treehouse. It's so 11 that we can't move around freely but we feel warm here. 

From that day on, Betty and I spend hours in the 12 . We talk more—yes, we 13 . Most of them are true things that happen to us, so we know more about each other. 

But one day, a heavy rain comes to the village. Betty and I run 14 to save the treehouse but it is broken. I feel my heart is also broken. 

When the sun comes out, I still feel 15 , but Betty goes to help my parents to clean the yard. With tools in her hand, Betty says she wants to make another treehouse and fill(使…充满) it with more stories. Hearing this, I know that our friendship is stronger than the treehouse. 

 My name is Cindy. I have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} sister and her name is Linda. I am tidy,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Linda is not. She is not tidy.

What is your favorite cartoon? It may be difficult for you to decide. But for Lang Lang, Tom and Jery is the best one. When he was two years old, he saw Tom playing the piano. This was bis first time to enjoy western music and this experience encouraged him to learn to play the piano. His talent in the keyboard（琴键）bas taken him from his hometown to the world.
