Yesterday I visited the Hong Shan Forest Zoo. I was{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to find few people there. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} are very important places. They provide homes{#blank#}3{#/blank#} many endangered animals .They also help to educate the public about
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} them . If we {#blank#}5{#/blank#} our zoos, they won't have enough money to take care of so{#blank#}6{#/blank#} fine animals. Therefore, People should go and visit the zoos more often to learn about animals and help to protect them {#blank#}7{#/blank#} .
However, some people don't think so. They think zoos are terrible places for animals to live.“I've visited a lot of zoos in my life, and I have never seen one I like or one that{#blank#}8{#/blank#} animals to live in .”Jenny said The animals{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in small cages and can {#blank#}10{#/blank#} move at all .What's more, they are only given food once a week That's terrible.

    What would you think if you saw a fish walking? Would you look again i{#blank#}1{#/blank#} you saw a fish climbing a tree? There is a fish that does b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} of these things. It is called the tree-climbing fish. It is believed that a traveler to India first told about the tree-climbing fish. The fish was h{#blank#}3{#/blank#}  up in a tree. What was the fish doing in that tree? How did it get there? The traveler t{#blank#}4{#/blank#}a bird might have put it there.

    The next day the traveler saw a fish come out of the w{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. It was hard to believe, but up the road went the fish. It used its fins (鱼鳍) and tail to pull i{#blank#}6{#/blank#} along. It stopped to eat some worms. After the fish ate, it walked slowly over to a tree. Up, up it c{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. When it got high up in the tree, it took a rest.

    The traveler was s{#blank#}8{#/blank#} to see these things and told other people about the tree-climbing fish. The people wanted to know w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} this fish looked like. He explained the one he saw was dark brown and about one foot long.

    People can f{#blank#}10{#/blank#} the tree-climbing fish not only in India but also in the Philippines, Thailand, Pakistan, and other places. At one time, people saw the fish in Florida, America. Because the weather there was too terrible, it was not able to live there any longer.

    My best friend has two first names. One is Heather, and the others Na-ri. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(never see) her use the name Na-ri. But today, for the first time, she is writing a letter with this name.

    She {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(bear) in South Korea and adopted by American parents when she was two years old one day, she told me about her childhood. When she went out to dinner, some South Korean strangers tried to talk to her in Korean. She didn't understand what they {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (say), so she just looked at them. She said that she still remembered how they looked at her. Their eyes seemed to say, "Poor girl. You are an abandoned child." From that day, Heather tried to keep saying to herself that she was American.

    Two days ago, she received a letter from South Korea. The letter {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (send) to Na-ri. She was so surprised that she couldn't open the letter. So I did it for her. The letter was written in Korean. I said, "Heather, you should ask someone {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(read) this for you. It was written in Korean." But she was silent.

    Yesterday, on the way home,I saw her {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (cry) on a bench near my house. "What is it,honey?" I said. She told me that her birth mother had blood cancer, and the only cure for her illness might be Heather's blood. I asked how she knew this. Heather said she had learned Korean secretly. Crying hard, Heather only repeated, "What should I do? What should I do?" I really had no answer.

    This morning, Heather called me. "{#blank#}7{#/blank#}you{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) with me when I write a letter to South Korea?" I gladly went over to her house. Heather didn't seem to have slept at all. I hugged her and told her everything would be okay. Now I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(sit) in front of Heather watching her write a letter. She hasn't told me what she is writing, but I can guess. Heather is writing, "Na-ri is coming, mother."

Dear Mary,

     Now I'm at Bill's home. Please {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(help) me do some things. First, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (get) some food for my dog Robot. After Robot finishes eating his food, you can{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(clean) his small room. Then, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (take) him for a walk. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(not let) him be with Mom's dog Frank. They will fight. Many thanks.

    Your sister

A: Hi, Xu Hui! I hear that our school will make uniforms for us. Do you like wearing school uniforms?

B: Not really. I don't like wearing the same clothes as {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. It's boring.

A: What kind of clothes do you like to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}?

B: I like to wear clothes of my own {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. They're comfortable and make me feel good. But uniforms sometimes look ugly on us.

A: But the school uniform can show us good discipline.  Do you think so?

B: Yes, I agree. I think we students can design our uniforms by {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

A: Sounds interesting! If we can design our own uniforms, we'll be glad to wear.

B: That's right. Let's write a letter to the headmaster and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him about our ideas.

A: That's a good idea!
