Susie Sunbeam was not her real name. It was Susan Brown. But everyone called 1 Sunbeam, because she had such a sweet, smiling face. She 2 took brightness with her wherever she went. Her grandfather first gave her this 3, and it seemed to fit the little girl so 4 that soon it took the place of her own.

    Even when Susie was a baby, she laughed and smiled from morning till night. No one ever heard her cry unless she was 5 or hurt. When she had learnt to 6, she loved to go around the house and get things for her mother. 7, she helped her as much as she could.

She loved 8. She would sit by her mother's side for an hour at a time, and ask her many questions. At other times, she would take a new book and read quietly. Susie was always pleasant in her play with other children. She never used a(n) 9 word , but tried to do whatever would make her playmates happy.

    One day, a(n) 10 little girl with an old torn dress passed by. Susie heard some children teasing and laughing at her. She at once ran out to the gate, and asked the little girl to come 11.

    “What are you crying for?” Susie asked. “Because they all 12 at me.” she said.

    Then Susie took the little girl into the house. She 13 the little girl with kind words, and she gave her one of her own best dresses and a good pair of shoes. This brought real 14 to the poor child, and she thought that Sunbeam was the 15 name for Susan Brown.

    Tom is the son of a farm owner. One New Year's Day， when he was 15， his father 1 him to work on the farm for one year when he was free. Tom was 2 with his father's idea. "That isn't my job. I have 3 school work to do. "Hearing this， his father said， "I promise (许诺) to give you the best present if you 4 finish one year's work. "Tom thought for a while and 5.

       Starting one Saturday， the boy got up early and worked 6 until evening， just like any other farmer. Time passed quickly. Tom' s crops (庄稼) grew well. 7 the last day of the year， the father called his son to him. "I'm happy to see that you have worked very hard the whole year，" said the father.  " Now， tell me 8 you want "

    The boy smiled and showed his father a big piece of bread made from his wheat (小麦). "I've already got the 9 present. No pains， no gains. I think this is what you wanted 10 to know.” His father was quite pleased to hear that.

A man came home from work and found his three children outside. They were still in their pajamas (睡衣) , playing in the mud (泥) . Toys were lying all over the garden. The front door{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the house was wide open. 

Walking in the door, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp was upside down on the table. In the living room, the TV was turned up loud. There were toys and clothes all over the place. In the kitchen, there was a{#blank#}2{#/blank#} glass under the table and dishes filled the sink (水槽) . Breakfast food was still on the dining table. The fridge door was open. In the bathroom, the bathtub (浴缸) was full of water. Soap and toilet paper were on the floor. Toothpaste was all over the mirror and walls. 

He quickly went upstairs, looking for his wife. He was worried that she was sick{#blank#}3{#/blank#}that something bad happened. 

As he ran into the bedroom, he found his wife in bed. Still in her pajamas, she was reading anovel. She looked up at him,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and asked how his day went. He looked at her and asked, "What happened here today?"

She smiled{#blank#}5{#/blank#}and answered, "You know every day when you come home from work, you ask me what in the world I do all day?"

"Yes,"he replied. 

She answered, "Well, today I didn't do anything."

Grandparents called me one day. They asked me to spend my vacation with them. They lived in a village. It was quiet and cool in summer. I was very happy and thanked them. I told them to go when my summer vacation began. 

It was July 15th. My parents took me to the supermarket and we bought some delicious food for my grandparents. The next morning dad took me to the train station. It was the first time for me to have a trip by myself. But I wasn't afraid and felt relaxed. The train left at eight twenty. I looked out of the window and found it was beautiful outside. I wasn't tired at all. At three twenty in the afternoon I arrived at the station. I saw my grandpa standing outside. I got off the train and ran to him. He was happy when he saw me. His village was about two kilometers from the station. We got there by bus. There were lots of trees and flowers around it. The village looked very beautiful. 

Peter is a 1 in the Sunshine Middle School. His 2 name is Brown. He is eight years old and he is in 3 , Grade 4. He likes 4 a lot because he thinks they are very cute. He often 5 about animals with his classmates.

Peter visits his uncle and aunt every summer. They 6 on a farm. They have many kinds of animals like cows, 7 , sheep and a big horse. Peter loves all the animals there.

This summer, he is going to 8 how to milk a cow. His 9 cannot believe (相信) it. "We get our milk from the 10 ," they say. "But our friend is going to get it from a cow."

Peter laughs. "Milk doesn't come from the store," he says. "Milk comes from a cow." His friends do not believe him so they 11 their teacher. The teacher says, "Peter is 12 . Milk comes from cows. Cows eat grass. They change (改变) the grass into milk. Then the farmer sells (卖) the milk. And we 13 it in the stores."

The teacher tells them one more thing, "Do you know that a cow has four stomachs (胃)?" The kids feel it is very 14 . They all want 15 to a farm to see the cows.
