I'm thinking about what I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do) this summer. Maybe I'll get a job. If I get a job, I'll have enough money {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (buy) some new things. Maybe I'll buy some new clothes. I'd like to have some new dresses when I start school again in September. Or I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (buy) some books or some music CDs. I really love jazz. I can buy some more CDs for my jazz {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (collect). Or I can use the money to pay for tennis lessons. I play tennis pretty well, but I'd like to learn to play it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (well). Or maybe I can use the money to pay for the piano lessons. I'd like {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (learn) to play it.

If I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (not get) a job this summer, I'll visit my grandparents in San Francisco. They live in a beautiful old house near the beach. That will be fun. My grandparents are always very nice to me. They'll let me {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sleep) late. I won't have to get up before 10 o'clock every day. I'll eat delicious food because my grandmother is an excellent cook. She always {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cook) my favorite food. I'll also go to the beach with {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they). I like swimming in the sea.

    Tina and Vera are sisters. They live in a big city. Tina is not as old{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Vera. She is older than her. She thinks living in the city is much{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(interesting)than in the countryside. She likes the lights in her city. She thinks the lights in her city are the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(beautiful) in the world. She enjoys{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(read) and she reads{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(many)books than Vera.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, Vera dislikes living in the city. She thinks living in the countryside{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) much better. She often{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(visit) her grandparents in the countryside and takes vacations there. She often takes walks{#blank#}9{#/blank#} supper. It makes her{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(feel) very relaxed.

    Rose and Susan are classmates. Today Rose want to speak{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Susan, but Susan isn't in. Her mother answers(接) the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, and she asks Susan to call Rose{#blank#}3{#/blank#}this evening. Rose and Susan want to{#blank#}4{#/blank#}to the Chinese Corner(汉语角). They like to{#blank#}5{#/blank#}[spiːk] Chinese there. It is helpful to them. 

    Walking down the city streets, you look up and see a red telephone box. Behind it, on the road, a big red double-decker bus {#blank#}1{#/blank#} by, carrying citizens and tourists. This is London. And the red bus has been a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of the city.

    Modern transportation has changed the way we live. One important kind of transport has been the bus. In London, buses play a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} role than other kinds of transport. They are {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to go around the city. Red tourist buses have open roofs, which let people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} many photos as they drive past Big Ben, the Thames, the London Eye, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} so on.

But how did the bus become special to London culture? Horse-drawn buses have been used in London {#blank#}7{#/blank#} 1829. By the early 20^th century, motor-buses were driving around London. Bus companies used different {#blank#}8{#/blank#} at that time. The biggest company chose red. In 1933, when London transport was grouped into a single company, they chose {#blank#}9{#/blank#} most widely used color at that time—red.

    And so the color red stayed in London. But it was during the mid-1950s that the red double-decker was born. All of them were built {#blank#}10{#/blank#} 1954 and 1968. That is why they still look traditional.

    Most students want to study well. The key is to improve their study habits.

    First, you need to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}a plan carefully. Many students complain(抱怨)that they cannot find enough {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to read books or do something. That's because they don't have a good plan to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}with their time. They should make a list of the important things: when to do the homework, when to do the sports, when to have a rest and so on.

Second, you should find a right place. Though students can find many good places for study, a quiet and bright place like a classroom or a library is much{#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    At last, you need to have some tests. Having a test can be a good way to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}your advantages or weaknesses(弱点)in study. Then you can make a better plan. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}short, if you make a nice plan, find a right place to pay {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to your study and make good use of tests in time, you'll {#blank#}8{#/blank#}become a better student.
