Food is very important. Everyone needs to{#blank#}1{#/blank#} well if he or she wants to have a strong body(身体). Our brains (大脑) also need a kind of food. This kind of food is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . We begin to get knowledge (知识) When we are very young. Small children are interested in everything around them. They learn {#blank#}3{#/blank#} while (当) they are watching and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . When they are getting older, they begin to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} storybooks, anything they like. When they find something new, they like to ask questions and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to find out the answer.
What is the best {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to get knowledge? If we {#blank#}8{#/blank#} by ourselves, we'll get the most knowledge. If we're {#blank#}9{#/blank#} getting answers from others and do not ask why, we will never learn well. When we study in a right way, we will learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} and understand (理解) better.

    Eric and Chen first met in their Math class at an American college. Chen was an international student f{#blank#}1{#/blank#} China. He wanted to learn about American culture and hoped he and Eric would become good friends. At first, Eric seemed f{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. He always greeted Chen warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Chen. He even i{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Chen to eat lunch with him. But after the term was over and they were in different classes, Eric seemed more distant. They didn't s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} each other very much at college. One day Chen called Eric, But Eric didn't seem very interested in talking to him, Chen was h{#blank#}5{#/blank#} by Eric's change of attitude（态度）. "Eric said we were friends." Chen said. "I thought friends were friends forever. As a foreigner, he doesn't understand the way Americans view friendship.

    Americans use the word "friend" in a very general way. Their friendship is based on common i{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. When the shared activity ends and they have no the same interests, the friendship may die. Now as Eric and Chen are no longer c{#blank#}7{#/blank#}, their "friendship" has changed.

    In some culture's friendship m{#blank#}8{#/blank#} a strong life-long tie between two people—friendship develops slowly, since it is built to last. American friendship develops q{#blank#}9{#/blank#}, and it may change just as quickly.

His friends knew nothing about all of this, because {#blank#}8{#/blank#}of them had his own work to do.

    After a few minutes, David shouted, “{#blank#}9{#/blank#} a big fish I've caught last!" His friends were all surprising when they saw David pulling a big fish up from the water.

    As Grade Eight students, we are very busy. Every day we have to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a lot of time finishing our homework, so we don't have much time to develop (发展) our hobbies. But each Wednesday afternoon we have a free {#blank#}2{#/blank#} at the end of the day. In this class, we can do what we like. So every Wednesday morning we look forward to the end of the last lesson.

    It was Wednesday. The last class was over. All of us were very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and ran out of the classroom. Rope jumping was Lucy and Lily's favorite sport. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} wanted to take part in the rope jumping competition. So they practiced (练习) it again and again so as to win the competition. Tom and Jim's dream was to be runners. They ran very hard so that they could {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their dream come true. John and Sam just wanted to relax themselves. They were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} games. I like reading best of all. So I took out a book and enjoyed it under the tree. As for our teacher, Mr. Li, he stood in front of the teaching building, looking {#blank#}7{#/blank#} us and helping us when necessary.

    All of us joined in different activities. We really had a good {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. How we wish we can have this kind of class every day!
