    Many people like to watch TV. Watching TV is one of the most important {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (activity) of the day. TV brings the outside world closer to people's homes. Some people say the world is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (small) than before because of TV.

    What's going on in {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (other) countries? How do people live in places far away? Is there a good sports game somewhere? What's living in the deepest part {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the sea?

    If you want {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (answer) these and other kinds of questions, just turn {#blank#}6{#/blank#} TV. You can see a lot and learn a lot. Of course, people can also learn through reading or {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (listen) to the radio. But with TV they can learn better and more easily.Why? Because they can {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (hear) and watch, too.

    TV helps to open up our eyes. TV also helps to open up our minds. TV often gives {#blank#}9{#/blank#} new ideas. We learn that {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (new) and better ways of doing something can be learned on TV.

 


     Are all wild （野生的） animals always dangerous?

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of people think that all wild animals are{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. But, in fact, few of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} will eat man if he leaves them alone（不招惹它们）. If you meet a lion, I think you will run away, but even a lion will avoid（避免） a man if it {#blank#}4{#/blank#} very hungry. Lions only kill and eat men when they are too old{#blank#}5{#/blank#} their food, such as sheep and other animals.

    We know some animals even are afraid of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} when they happen to（碰巧） see men. Some of them stand and look at a man for some time before they run away. The others {#blank#}7{#/blank#} care of him at all, but they walk {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in another direction. Wild animals only eat a man when they are afraid that the man {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to kill their young babies, or a man is shooting（开枪） at them and they are made angry

    Next time you go to the park, please watch some animals such as tigers, lions and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} in the cages. You can find they don't attack（攻击） people if you don't make them angry.

    Young people are the future masters of the country. Being a youth is one thing, and being a good one is a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Everyone tries to be good, but not everybody has the right idea about it. Age will test youth, and youth will create age. Because we'll have heavy responsibilities（责任） upon our shoulders in future. We must educate o{#blank#}2{#/blank#} to be good. What are the qualifications（素质） for a good young person?

    A good youth should have these qualities. First of all, health, a healthy body is the best riches．W{#blank#}3{#/blank#} it, nothing can be done well. If you are poor in health, you'll have to take m{#blank#}4{#/blank#} day after day. Even you can't work, do sports and so on. Secondly, one must be of good quality. Always do something for others. Help those in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} world this would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability to work with others. Cooperation（合作）and communication are two important keys to better human relations. Everyone needs friends b{#blank#}6{#/blank#} no one can live through his life alone or do everything he wants to.Besides the examples above, patriotism（爱国主义）is the one we should never forget. Patriotism m{#blank#}7{#/blank#} a love of one's country. It is one of the h{#blank#}8{#/blank#} qualities of humans. Everyone should love his o{#blank#}9{#/blank#} country.

    I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and e{#blank#}10{#/blank#} more.

    In 1990, when I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) nine years old, I wanted very much to find {#blank#}2{#/blank#} pen friend. I found Ashley's address in a magazine, and decided {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (write) to her.

    I sent off my letter with a little hope. Very quickly, I received her letter. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my surprise, Ashley was only one month {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (old) than me. I learned some new expressions from her. I{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (real) liked this new friend.

    Letter after letter, year after year, Ashley and I continued to write to one another. A letter would be received and I'd write back right away. We would send each other birthday and Christma {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (gift).

    Eight years later, my parents decided it was time {#blank#}8{#/blank#} me to meet this friend. They drove me down to Mississippi for a few days. We {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (have) a fun time together. We did the things that teenage girls love to do.

    Twenty-five years after the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (one) letter, Ashley and I still have an amazing friendship. Although we don't write letters now, we communicate through mobile phones and the Internet.
