      I worked in a shop three years ago. A girl started working there a few months after me. I met her often but we never t{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. We just saw each o{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and smiled.

She would always smile in a really happy way until one day when we got to work in the same department again. She smiled as if she was the h{#blank#}3{#/blank#} girl in the world. I went up to her and asked, “What's w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} with you?” She answered, “Why?” I said, “I can feel you're very sad but you're always t{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to hide it.” Her mouth just dropped as if I had discovered her deepest s{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, so we started talking. She told me why she was feeling like that and why she was trying to hide it. Time w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} by and we became good friends. Later she said that I had changed her life in many w{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Today this girl is one of my best friends. She has been there for me in every possible way a friend could be.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you never know when you're helping y{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. I helped this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a t{#blank#}10{#/blank#} friend.

    I have some great friends at summer camp. They can all do different {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (thing). This is Helen. She's good at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (musical). She can sing, and she can play {#blank#}3{#/blank#} piano. Oh, she's a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (greatly) dancer, too. But she can't cook. And she can't play the guitar. Tom is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (real) cool. He is from America. He can speak Chinese well, and he can ride a motorbike. He can't play the piano {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the guitar, but he can sing·

    Then this is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (I) sister Alice. She can run really fast, and she can {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (player) basketball and soccer. She can ride a bike. But she can't ride a motorbike.

    Charles {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (do) well in sports. He can swim, and play tennis and basketball. He can run fast, too. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} he can't cook. Julie can speak Chinese, and she can cook, too.  

    Every summer Carol travels a lot by herself and visits new places. Last August she had a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} vacation, so she was on a tour of four countries in Europe. Europe was beautiful but her vacation wasn't very nice. She was in each country only for three days. She visited too many museums and was always {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. After her vacation she was tired and bored. This summer she is going to spend her vacation in a   {#blank#}3{#/blank#} way. She is going to travel to one country in Asia with friends and visit only one city. They will stay there for seven days and they are going to choose a city near the sea {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they can go swimming and have picnics on the beach. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a happy journey it must be!

    My wife and I were on the beach, with our children. We were{#blank#}1{#/blank#}pictures of some birds.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}I heard my daughter Lisa shouting, "Dad! A bear is right behind{#blank#}3{#/blank#}" Then I saw that small bear. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#}quietly behind us then.

    While my wife and I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}about it, it stood across me. The bear behaved abnormally (表现异常). It hit the camera, cutting it off the tripod (三脚架). The {#blank#}6{#/blank#}got  very  difficult. I was standing there -- between the bear and my family. All of us had little {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of running faster than the bear. The bear opened its mouth. I had to raise my arms {#blank#}8{#/blank#} myself. I caught its {#blank#}9{#/blank#} While I was getting ready to fight (战斗) with it, it started to rain heavily. The bear moved back towards the forest. But before {#blank#}10{#/blank#}to the forest, it bit my arm. The first time I felt afraid. I drove away quickly with my family. I didn't feel my arm hurt till I arrived home.

    Tom is very h{#blank#}1{#/blank#}.He tries to exercise every day.  And his eating habits are very good.  He often eats a lot of v{#blank#}2{#/blank#} , usually ten to eleven t{#blank#}3{#/blank#} a week.  But he doesn't love j {#blank#}4{#/blank#} food very much.  And he h{#blank#}5{#/blank#} drinks coffee. Good food and exercise help him to study better.
