Dear Lucy, In your last letter, you asked me how to show love to your parents. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

★Make a picture for them. Whether with pencils or paints, it'll be valuable to them forever.

★Cook them a dinner! It can be some rice, some cheese or some hot dogs.  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

★Tell them that you love them very often. Your love can make them feel warm and proud.

★ {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  Probably the biggest way to show them you love them is never to lie. This shows them that you not only love them, but also believe in and respect them.

★ {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Watch a film with your mom once in a while, or go to a sports match with your dad once in a while just to show them how much you care and want to be closer to them.

★If you do something wrong, say sorry to them and explain it! They will know your regret. You could do something for them to show that you want to make it up to them。 {#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Yours,

Agony

Nowadays there's a general discussion on zoos among people. These two students write their different ideas on a newspaper.
Zoos Do a Good Job —— Maria Smith
I know a large number of people think it is not wise to keep animals in zoos. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , I believe that it is good to keep animals in zoos.
Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.
Secondly, zoos {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the animals very well. The animals are given food and cleaned regularly. In the wild (野外) , it is not always easy for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . But animals kept in zoos never suffer from hunger.
Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they take care of. They {#blank#}5{#/blank#} them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance to live. There would be fewer kinds of animals in the world if there were no zoos.
Zoos Are Unnatural ——Philip Black
In my opinion, zoos are not good for animals; they are only good for people.
It is not natural and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . In zoos, they can't do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad.
Most cages are not very clean, either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals {#blank#}8{#/blank#} looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that we treat other people—-with respect.
Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it, either.

    A man walked i{#blank#}1{#/blank#} a doctor's examining room. "Put out your tongue," the doctor said.   

  “OK. There is nothing s{#blank#}2{#/blank#},” the doctor said. "It's clear what's wrong with you.  You need more exercise." “But. doctor." the man said. “I don't think…”

    “Don't tell me what you think," the doctor said “I am the doctor, not you; I know what you need. I see hundreds of people like you. N{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of them get any exercise. They sit in the office all day and in f{#blank#}4{#/blank#} of the television in the evening. What you need is to walk quickly at l{#blank#}5{#/blank#} twenty minutes a day.”

    “Doctor, you don't understand;" the man said “I.”

“There is no e {#blank#}6{#/blank#},” the doctor said. "You must spare some time for exercise. If you don't, you will get fat and have health problems when you are old.”

    “But I walk every day," the man said.

    “Oh, yes, and I know what kind of walking that is. You walk a few metres to the office from your house, and a few more metres to a r{#blank#}7{#/blank#} for lunch and back.”

    “Please listen to me, doctor!" the man s{#blank#}8{#/blank#} at the doctor angrily.

    “I'm a mailman.”the man w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} on, “I walk for seven hours every day.”

     For a moment the doctor was silent, then he said quietly, "Put your tongue out a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, will you?"

    I once had an unforgettable experience that has affected and directed the way I think and act now.

    When I was about seven years old, my grandfather {#blank#}1{#/blank#} me to a fish pond on a farm and told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone. “You may create lots of circles in your life, but the waves {#blank#}3{#/blank#}come from those circles will disturb (干扰) the peace of all the people around you,” he said {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. “Remember that your circle may spread to many other circles, meaning that your thoughts or actions may disturb others' {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. You are responsible for what you put in your circle. If you want, the good or peace that comes from your circles{#blank#}6{#/blank#}to others. At the same time, the anger or jealousy (嫉妒) coming from your circle will also spread to other circles. You should allow the good feelings {#blank#}7{#/blank#} others, not the bad ones, because you are responsible for both.”

    That was the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} time I heared my grandfather tell me these. I had realized that each person's {#blank#}9{#/blank#}or anger can move out into the world. If we are filled with doubt or anger, we cannot create world peace. We spread the feeling and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak {#blank#}10{#/blank#} or not. These circles are spreading into the world. Creating beauty or making troubles to other circles of life.

    Doing sports is good for our health. Do you like sports? {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (哪一个) sport do you like best? My favorite sport is riding a bicycle. Why do I like bike riding? The main {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (原因) is that I like to go to different places. When I'm {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (空闲的), I often ask a few friends to go bike riding. On the way, we meet different people and see different {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (建筑物). It's so interesting.

    Sometimes we ride on rainy days, too. We {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (选择) a road with few cars and ride slowly and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (小心地). It is so good to enjoy the wet and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (清新的). The sound of the rain makes me feel quiet and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (舒适的).

    So what do you think about bike riding? Are you {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (愿意的) to join us? Bike riding is truly a great sport. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (希望) more people can ride bikes with us.

    You might have heard the story of The Tortoise and the Hare (《龟兔赛跑》). The hare lost because he was sleeping {#blank#}1{#/blank#}of keeping running during the race. However, there is another more interesting story.

    Once {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a time, a rabbit (家兔) and a turtle (海龟) were arguing about who was faster. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}could give an answer, so they decided to have a race.

    Before the race, the story The Tortoise and the Hare{#blank#}4{#/blank#} the rabbit of his friend, the hare." He should be able to teach me{#blank#}5{#/blank#}useful lesson." So he called the hare." How can I{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the race?" he asked. The hare answered, "Don't be{#blank#}7{#/blank#}like me!"

    The next day, the two animals met. When the fox called "Go!" in  a loud {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, the rabbit started running as fast as possible. Soon, he couldn't see the turtle. He didn't slow down. He ran the whole race {#blank#}9{#/blank#}he reached the finishing line.

    In the end, however, he was so{#blank#}10{#/blank#}that he found the turtle was already at the finishing line!" How did you get here so fast?" asked the rabbit. The turtle smiled and said, "Well, I also called the tortoise. He told me to take a taxi!"
