Have you ever heard of friendships among animals? At a zoo in Germany, an unusual friendship developed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a cat and a bear.

    No one is quite sure how the friendship first began. One day, some {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (worker) in the zoo noticed a black cat was in the bears cage(笼子), and the two animals were playing together peacefully. They were surprised {#blank#}3{#/blank#} well the small cat seemed to get along with the large bear. The bear keeper allowed the cat to stay with the bear, And later the pair and their unusual friendship {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (become)a hot topic at the zoo.

    After several years, a new cage {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (build) for the bear. However, the cat was still in the same cage, so it walked around {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (angry) and cried to be with the bear. The bear keeper finally took pity on the cat {#blank#}7{#/blank#} let it stay with the bear. The cat and the bear got {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (close) than before. They often sat together and shared meals in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} sun.

    Sometimes it may be natural for animals {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (have) their own ideas about who would make a good friend. These may surprise humans, who usually expect animals to form relationships with others of the same species.

    I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. I came to this country in 1913 where I held several jobs {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (earn) a few dollars before enlisting in World War I.

    After being discharged, I bought my own cab and have owned one ever since. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} hasn't been too easy at times, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a rainy day.

    Most people think taxi drivers are tough. But I think people get the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} impression that they are bad. Taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (regard) as honest fellows. I've been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} with drunks. Even if they get a little headstrong once in a while, I just agree with them and then they behave {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they).

    I believe honesty is one of the greatest {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (gift) there is. I believe in God and try to be a good member of my parish. I try to act toward others like I think God wants me to act. I have been trying this for a long time, and the longer I try, the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (easy) it gets.

    Li Fang graduated(毕业) last year. Now she is a teacher in a poor v{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. It is far f{#blank#}2{#/blank#} a city. The life there is hard, but she never {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (give) up. She likes to teach the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (child). She doesn't want anyone in her class to drop o{#blank#}5{#/blank#} of school. She often says to them, "With a good {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (educate), you can make a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(different). You can make a good life for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you)." She always helps her students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} every possible way. All the students like her. They think she is very great. Li Fang works hard. She is n{#blank#}10{#/blank#} late for work. She loves staying with the children.

    Australia is the one of the greatest {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(island) in the world. It is a little{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(small) than China. It is{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is small. The population of Australia is nearly as {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (large) as that of Shanghai. The sky in Australia is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (swim) in the rivers. Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia. We went to a wild flowers' exhibition. We had a wonderful time there. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and it was comfortable{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(have) a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (we). It is never too hot in summer{#blank#}8{#/blank#} too cold in winter. But it often{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(rain) in winter, so bring {#blank#}10{#/blank#} umbrella with you.
