Now I  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}   (read) an article about Kevin Richardson. He is a South African animal behaviour scientist who has spent many years  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}   (live) with lions in an animal reserve. He has created such love and trust with the lions that he  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (consider) to be one of the family.  Kevin never   {#blank#}4{#/blank#}   (worry) about the danger of being so close to the lions, though if you watch him lie down with three or four huge lions, you wonder if maybe he should! He knows their personalities in the same way as a mother knows about her children. So far, he   {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (make) documentaries about his experiences. His wonderful film, White Lion, follows the story of how a very special lion survived, though he   {#blank#}6{#/blank#}   (face) many problems.

    Tonny's work is interesting but kind of dangerous. Thieves{#blank#}1{#/blank#} him and he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}   six  hours every day. He wants {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  an actor.  He enjoys{#blank#}4{#/blank#}   to the music. At the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}   of this month,she is in France.

   Lofton is a little village（村庄）in England. It is not f{#blank#}1{#/blank#} from the city of Manchester (曼彻斯特). Not many families l{#blank#}2{#/blank#} around the village, so the people all know each o{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . Most of them are friendly and helpful.
   Though their homes are in Lofton, many people have jobs in Manchester. S{#blank#}4{#/blank#} work in large factories there. A few work in shops or offices. Most of these people go to work by t{#blank#}5{#/blank#} . It usually t{#blank#}6{#/blank#}  about half an hour to go from Lofton to Manchester.
In the evening a lot of people like watching TV. But if they go to see a film or go to a concert (音乐会), they have to go to Manchester, because there are no c{#blank#}7{#/blank#}  in Lofton.
   Like many other villages near towns or cities, it is clean and quiet. So life in Lofton may not be so e{#blank#}8{#/blank#}  as the life in the b{#blank#}9{#/blank#} cities, but it can be just as interesting. That is why people in Lofton l{#blank#}10{#/blank#}  their village.

    One day，I took my daughter to the park．As soon as we got there，my daughter {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（run） to the swing （秋千）and asked for a push．When I was helping my daughter，I noticed another girl trying to make her own swing {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（go） high by herself．Her old grandmother was sitting on the chair nearby and smiling at us．Gradually，my daughter {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（push） higher and higher by me．

    Then I walked towards the little girl．I asked if I {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（give） a big push to her．She smiled and said “Yes”． For the next hour，I pushed the swings，and played with my daughter and the little girl． When we went home，I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（be） tired but very happy．

    One day two years later，after a day's work，I went to pick up my daughter before going home．

    While I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（wait） outside the school gate，a little girl smiled sweetly at me and gave me a big hug．As I watched her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（run） away，I realized that she was the girl whom I gave a big push in the park．

    So far，I {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（not forget） her sweet smile and the warm hug that she gave me．

    In fact，if we give love to others，love {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（find） its way back to us．It may travel from heart to heart or it may blossom （开花）in the heart．The love we share，the kindness we {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（give），and the happiness we create will come back to us with a pleasant surprise．

    There are twelve months in a year and my favourite month is June. June 1 is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(children) Day. On that day, my mother often {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(buy) some beautiful clothes for me. On the 12^th,we have a basketball game. Basketball is my favourite {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.I like watching basketball games {#blank#}4{#/blank#}TV. My birthday is in July. I want {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(have) a birthday party and invite my friends to my home.

Dear Liz,

    Thank you very much {#blank#}1{#/blank#} your letter and the photos of your {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(friend) and family. Your parents and friends look really nice {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the photo. Now I can tell you something about me and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} family here in New York.

    I've got two brothers. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they) names are Lukas and Andreas and they {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) 16 and 19. My mother is French and her name is Christine. Dad is American and his name's Dieter. Our house {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(have) got four bedrooms and a small garden. My room is tidy, but my {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(brother) is not. They don't often clean it. We have a dog, Zak, and we think he's cute. We {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(love) it a lot.

    Please tell me all about {#blank#}10{#/blank#} friends and school in your next letter. I'd like to know about English schools.

Love,

Laura
