Mary works in a bank. She is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} busy every day that she{#blank#}2{#/blank#} no time to make dinner. There is a(n){#blank#}3{#/blank#}near Mary's house. After Mary comes back home from work, she likes to go to the restaurant{#blank#}4{#/blank#}dinner.

    One day,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Mary was in the restaurant, she saw{#blank#}6{#/blank#}old man next to her looking for (寻找)something on the floor(地板).Mary felt surprised. So she{#blank#}7{#/blank#}the old man.

    "{#blank#}8{#/blank#}are you looking for?"

    "Oh, a piece(块)of bread," the man answered.

    "A piece of bread? Oh, the floor is so{#blank#}9{#/blank#}.Please take this piece." Mary gave(给)a big piece of bread to the old man.

    "But my teeth{#blank#}10{#/blank#}in that piece of bread."

    My friend Jenny has a great interest in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(learn) English. One day, I found she was writing something and I walked over to her: she was studying the grammar—the using of "it".

    However, she covered(遮盖) it when I came by. I was very {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(surprise) and asked her, "What are you doing?" "Nothing," she answered {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a low voice.

    I didn't know why, did I{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (find) her "secret"? I just wanted to say "sorry". She replied, "Please don't laugh {#blank#}5{#/blank#} me." "I did not do that. Why do you think in that way?" Then she told me that her English was not good and she was a little shy in learning English before others. That was the reason {#blank#}6{#/blank#} she did not make any progress in the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(speak) and written English. And I told her that no one would laugh at her in learning but {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(she)!

    Then I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (give) her some advice on learning English. I asked her to try her best{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (show) her English in order to find her mistakes and tell some stories to her friends and write about the things that she does during the day, and then she could make some progress.
