We look at the world around us everyday, but somehow we don't manage to see it until what we've become used to suddenly disappeared. That's to say that you may get used to some places and some 1 around you. For example, the neatly-dressed woman I used to see --or look at on my way to work each 2.

    For three years, no matter 3the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 a.m. On 4 days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime turn out clean cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 5, she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 6all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how 7I expected to see her each morning. You might say I 8her.

    "Did she have an accident? Something 9?" I thought to myself about her disappearance. Now that she was gone, I felt I had 10her. I began to realize that part of our  11life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar strangers: the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 12walks her dog along the street ever morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 13markers in our lives. They add weight to our 14 of places and belongings.

    Think about it, while walking to work, 15we mark where we are by passing a certain building, why not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though unnamed , person?

    My brother Jerry is a clerk at a clothes store. He works very 1 hours every day. He usually 2 at six in the morning. After he brushes his 3, he starts to 4 for thirty minutes. He thinks running is 5 for his health. Then he has breakfast. After breakfast, he 6 a bus to work. He is very busy. He has no time 7 home for lunch, so he eats 8 at the store. In the 9, he works for four hours. He has dinner at home. On weekends, he is not busy. He usually goes to the movies 10 me.

My mother gets up at 6:30. It takes her about{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(40) minutes (分钟) to go to school on the bus. She has two{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(class) in the morning. We{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(usual) have lunch at a restaurant near school. At 14:00, she has an English class. She is kind{#blank#}8{#/blank#}her students, so they like her a lot. At 17:40, she comes back home. She cooks dinner at 17:50. At 18:30, we have dinner. After dinner, she reads a book about English. Sometimes (有时), she helps me with my study. She can help me with my English{#blank#}9{#/blank#}Chinese. I think she is a very good mother. I love {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(she) a lot. 

It was about two o'clock in the early morning {#blank#}1{#/blank#} 21 September, 1999. Tommy was sleeping when the earthquake started. He felt a slight shake, then he {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a loud noise like thunder. Soon the real noise came, like bombs under the ground. The earth started to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} . People screamed in fear. Some ran out of the building. He tried his {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to run out too, but he couldn't.

Outside, people were running in all directions while pieces of glass and bricks were falling down. Then the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} began to come down too!

Finally, the noise and shaking ended. It was dark and silent around him. He could not see anything at all, and he did not know if anyone else was near him. He felt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and his heart was beating fast. A moment of fear went through his mind, but he told {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to calm down since he was still alive. He shouted for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , but no one came. He started to move slowly in the darkness. Luckily, there was just enough space for him to move.

Hours later, Tommy heard {#blank#}9{#/blank#} noise above him. He screamed, "Help! Please help! I'm here!" Then he heard shouts from excited people. They {#blank#}10{#/blank#} moved away the bricks. At last, Tommy was safe.

Once upon a time, in the middle of a pool, there lived a frog. One day, a princess( 公 主 )rowed. 1 the pool in a boat. As she moved past, the frog raised his head and called to her. 

"Kiss me, and I will 2 a handsome prince. "

"Not likely, "replied the princess, "I rule my own kingdom;I 3 my own armies, I make my own laws. I need 4 prince, handsome or otherwise. What else do you have to offer?"

"Kiss me, and I will give you great5 . "

"I think not, "answered the princess, "I 6 all the money in my country. Your great riches won't bring me any 7  , just make my money less valuable. Is that the best you have to 8 !"

"Kiss me, and 1 will promise you attractive 9 "

"Ha-ha, "sneered (讥讽)the princess, "How very 10 !I may be not good-looking.11 beauty does not last. "

"What do you want then?"the frog stuck to his 12

The princess thought hard, and moved 13

"I want to be happy, "she said quietly and kissed the frog. 

"You 14 love, riches, beauty, and yet you want happiness from kissing a frog! This isn't a fairy tale you know. "laughed the frog, diving into the clear, blue pool. 

Actually, frogs always15 you in the end. It's hard to escape from them.
