Of all the seasons of the year, I think that spring is the loveliest and most {#blank#}1{#/blank#} season. In the bitter cold winter, we long for the spring when the weather is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} hot nor cold. Everything seems to be fresh and wakening. It is a time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} going on picnics. It is also the time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we Chinese have the{#blank#}5{#/blank#} festival —-the Spring Festival, according to our country's custom.
In spring, there are all {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of flowers blooming in gardens and parks. Grass and trees turn {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . Birds sing in the woods. The climate is mild and the air is invigorating. Poets describe spring as a season{#blank#}8{#/blank#} of hope, as the “year's king”.
Spring is a splendid picture in our life. Spring {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to us and we should make good use of it. We should study and work {#blank#}10{#/blank#} .

    I have twin brothers， Tim and Tom. They look the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} and a lot of people don't know which is which. They{#blank#}2{#/blank#}have brown hair and blue eyes， and they always  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the same jeans and T-shirts.

    They like wearing the same things， and they like doing the same things， {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. For example， they both like pop music， soccer and computers. They like{#blank#}5{#/blank#}soccer matches on TV every weekend. They'd like to play computer games every night， but our mother says they can't{#blank#}6{#/blank#}they have a lot of homework to do.

    They are twins， but there are some differences {#blank#}7{#/blank#}them. Tim {#blank#}8{#/blank#}hard at school， but Tom doesn't.

    Our mother is often away from home because she travels a{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in her job， so I{#blank#}10{#/blank#} to take care of my twin brothers in house. But I think it's fun to have twin brothers.

    That was a hot summer. When I was five years old just before my sister came to the world， my mother asked me what we  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(应该)name the new baby. I think for a minute and said， “Let's call her Gravy!”

    You know， we pour gravy over meat and it tastes good! My parents found my idea interesting but at last they named the new baby Caroline， {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（代替）. As soon as I saw Caroline I just {#blank#}3{#/blank#} ( 掉入）in love with her.

     Having a sister {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (改变) my life. When my sister and I played together， we often fought and argued with each other {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （几个）times a week. It made our parents angry. But at the same time， we learned to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（关心）for each other.

     In North America， there are many kinds of families but most families have {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （超出）one child. Of course， some have three or more. In China， most children don't have brothers or sisters and they often feel {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（孤独的）. Some middle school students in China wish that they had a brother or sister. If you are one of them， I have a good idea for you. You can treat your friends or classmates {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  （当作）your brothers and sisters! You know that the good family {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (关系) and friendship can lead to a happy life.

    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.

    My name is Chi Ming.I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(冠词) twelve-year-old student.This is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(I) father.He is very busy and I seldom(很少) have dinner with{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (he). My mother is busy too,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (连词)she can have dinner at home. I've{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (get)a sister and{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (代词)is ten years old. We are happy to be{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (介词)our mother. I eat{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (noodle). My mother and my brother eat rice with{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (carrot). They are good for{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (eye).
