Do you know something about the moon? You can {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (seeing) it at night. Sometimes it looks round and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (brightly). It also looks quite near. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the moon is very far from the earth. If you take {#blank#}4{#/blank#} spaceship, you will get there in more than three days. The spaceship {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (go) very fast, at 11 kilometers a second. In 1969 two {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (American) got on the moon by spaceship.

    There are no living things on the moon {#blank#}7{#/blank#} there is no air or water there. That's why people can't {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (liveness) there. But you may know you can jump much higher there than {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the earth. It's full, isn't it?

    I hope some day we Chinese {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (get) to the moon, too.

    Last weekend I went to visit my grandma. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (虽然) her house is far from mine, I still decided to walk there. It was very sunny so I didn't take my {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (雨伞). However, on the way it began to rain hard. And soon I was all {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(湿的). When I was thinking about what to do next,  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (幸运地), there came a taxi. I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (停) it and went into it quickly. When I arrived at my grandma's house, she was very surprised to see me.

     "Is it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (必要的) for you to come here on foot?  Why didn't you drive your car here?" She asked.

   "Because I want to take more exercise." I answered.

     "Why did you come on {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (这样的) a rainy day?"

     "I came to tell you a piece of good news."

   "What good news?"

     "I  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(赢) the first prize in the singing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (比赛)."

     "Congratulations!" said my grandma excitedly, then she {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (给) me a warm blanket to wrap me.

    Why do I want to go to college? No one has ever asked me such a question. But many times I have asked {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. I have come up with a whole variety of reasons. The most important reason is that I want to be a better man.

    Many things make {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different from or better than animals.

    One of the most important things is education. If I fail to receive higher education, my education will not finish. As I want to be a fully developed man, I must get a well-rounded education. Good colleges and universities are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to provide it. I know one can get educated in many ways, but colleges and universities are among the best places to teach me how to educate myself. When I am well-educated, I will be able to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} fit into society.

    Grace is my friend .This is her {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. In it, you can see her {#blank#}2{#/blank#} everywhere. She {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a soccer ball under her chair, two {#blank#}4{#/blank#} under her desk and three basketballs under her {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. She also has some ping-pong balls and ping-pong{#blank#}6{#/blank#}in her bag. Grace loves sports. She thinks they're {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. But she does not{#blank#}8{#/blank#}them. Playing sports is difficult {#blank#}9{#/blank#} her. She {#blank#}10{#/blank#} watches them on TV.

But he wants to know more about Chinese culture so he{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (visit) Beijing again. This time he is going to the Palace Museum.

He{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (show) them to his friends. David's father {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (read) many books about Japanese history three months ago. He thought some things in Japan were interesting.

   Kate is a 10-year-old British girl. She just {#blank#}1{#/blank#}her summer camp two days ago. Now she is writing a letter to her pen friend, Sato.

Dear Sato,

    How's it {#blank#}2{#/blank#}? Are you having a good summer holiday?

    I just came back from a two-week camp with my brother. It was a lot of fun. Every day was different. We went to the forest and watched the birds. The weather kept fine, so we swam in the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and slept in the sun a lot. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#}rained and we had to water the plants in the garden every evening, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}I enjoyed doing it.

    I made some very good {#blank#}6{#/blank#}—a boy and two girls. The boy played the guitar and danced very well. The two girls were classmates and they were {#blank#}7{#/blank#}good at singing. In the evening we often made a fire, sat around it and sang. Sometimes we {#blank#}8{#/blank#} up early in the morning and watched the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}come up. It seemed to be the best summer in my life.

    I hope you are keeping well. Give {#blank#}10{#/blank#}love to your parents and your sister.

Yours,

Kate
