Mr.Johnson had never taken planes before,but he had read a lot about air accidents.So one day when a friend{#blank#}1{#/blank#} him to take his own small plane,Mr.Johnson was very{#blank#}2{#/blank#} .Finally,his friend persuaded(说服) him that it was very{#blank#}3{#/blank#} ,so Mr.Johnson got into the plane.

His friend{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the engine and began to taxi(滑行) onto the runway of the airport.Mr.Johnson had ever heard the most{#blank#}5{#/blank#} part of a flight were taking off and the landing,so he was very afraid and closed his{#blank#}6{#/blank#}

{#blank#}7{#/blank#}a minute or two he opened his eyes again,looked out of the{#blank#}8{#/blank#} of the plane,and said to his friend, “Look at those people down there.They look as{#blank#}9{#/blank#} as ants,don't they?" "Those are ants,”answered his friend, "we're{#blank#}10{#/blank#} on the ground.”

    One year ago， eleven of my friends and I got together and made a group. We called {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (our) “12 Caring Women”.

    We meet once a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and take turns to hold the activity. We each donate(捐赠) 20 dollars， so we have 240 dollars each month for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (do) good things.

    When we{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(meet)， we discuss what to do in the month. Last month， we donated the money to a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} lady. She had a baby in an earthquake， but didn't have money {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(raise) her baby.

    Over the past year， we have helped many people{#blank#}7{#/blank#} need. We work with the government and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (school). They help us find people in need. If we don't have people to{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in one month， we give the money to the nursing home(养老院).

    When we help people， we feel very happy. I'm writing this passage {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (ask) more people to join us.

    It {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(get) dark. Paul looked out of the window and signed (叹气). Dad said he could come home by 5:30, but it was almost 7:00. Even if Dad came back, it wouldn't be much fun playing baseball in the dark. Paul walked into his room and{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(throw) his baseball into the corner. He tried to do some homework, but couldn't.

    Paul couldn't understand why Dad was so busy. He threw himself into the sofa and soon fell asleep. His book{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(open) to the first page.

    The next day at school, Paul didn't hand in his homework and failed a test. Mrs. Green, his teacher, asked him to stay after school. “This isn't like you. What's wrong?”

    Paul just sat there quietly. “Paul, if you don't want to talk, I will. I know that something wrong     with you, but you have to get it out. You need to tell someone.”

    As Paul walked home, he thought of what Mrs. Green said. When Paul got home, he called his dad. But there was no answer. Then it went to voicemail (语音信箱). Paul began talking: “Dad, I can't play with you next weekend. I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(get) lots of problems with my homework. Also, I really don't want to spend another day looking out of the window and waiting. Whenever you break our plans, Dad, it  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(hurt) me. It's not too late to rebuild our relationship, but we have to start small. I call you to ask you to help me with my homework sometime. Dad, I love you.”

    As Paul ended the call, he felt much relaxed. He didn't know whether his dad{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) different, but it didn't matter. He himself changed. He expressed his feelings to the right person. He had a clear head as he did his homework that evening.

    Hey, friends! Do you know Candy Wang? You often see her on the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}yes? Not long ago I interviewed (采访) this pop star. This time she{#blank#}2{#/blank#}me some important information about herself. In the past, she was very shy. To overcome (克服) her shyness, she tried{#blank#}3{#/blank#} ways. But they didn't work. Later she{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to sing. She took it very{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Every day she practiced singing and then she became a(n){#blank#}6{#/blank#} Now she's not shy anymore.

    I asked Candy how her life was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}after she became famous (出名的). She said there were many good things, like traveling and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}new people all the time. However, sometimes the best thing can also be the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}thing. "After I became famous, I always worried about what I said and did. I worried someone would {#blank#}10{#/blank#}stories about me. I didn't have fun," said Candy.

    An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old, it could not run quickly, and it could not bite(咬), because it was so old. One day，the old cat saw a mouse; it jumped and c{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the mouse. But it could not bite the mouse, so the mouse got out of the cat's mouth and r{#blank#}2{#/blank#} away. Then the old woman became very a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat.,The cat said, "Do not hit your old s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but you should r{#blank#}5{#/blank#} what good work the old did when they were young."
