There are four seasons in the year. Then I will i{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the four seasons of the year.

    In the year, the f{#blank#}2{#/blank#} season is spring. Spring is a beautiful season.

    Summer comes a{#blank#}3{#/blank#} spring. It's the h{#blank#}4{#/blank#}in a year. In summer there are some persons at home and t{#blank#}5{#/blank#} on the air-conditioner(空调). Summer is hot and sunny. But I like summer very much. Because I can eat some ice-creams and go s{#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

    I think autumn is better than summer. Autumn is a wonderful season and a h{#blank#}7{#/blank#} season. In autumn I can eat so many fruit and food. And the trees are golden.

    Winter is the l{#blank#}8{#/blank#} season of the year. In winter I can play s{#blank#}9{#/blank#} with my friends.

    In my city, every season has three m{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. The weather of the season is different from that of any other.

    Long long ago, there was a small village in the Middle East. In the village there was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} old man called Sthira. He lived by himself. His only son had gone far away to study. Sthira's friends {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(wonder) whether his son would return, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Sthira always said, "Whatever happens, happens for good.”

    One day the old man's son returned and the villagers were very happy for Sthira. He thanked the villagers and said {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (polite),"Whatever happens, happens for good.” However, later, Sthira's son broke his {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Once again the villagers came to visit him and once again the old man thanked {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (they) and said, "Whatever happens, happens for good." Some of the villagers were surprised {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(hear) this. Why? What was good? His son's leg got badly hurt!

 After a few days, the army came to the village and forced all the young men to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the army. When they found his son had a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (break) leg, they left him behind. Once again, all the villagers came to congratulate him on his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} luck, like always, the old man was still thankful to them and said. “Whatever happens, happens for good.”

Do you know Fu Niu Lele? It is the mascot (吉祥物) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games (残奥会). {#blank#}2{#/blank#} can it be the mascot? Because in Chinese culture，cattle (牛) are hardworking, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and brave(勇敢的). The mascot of cattle is a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of Chinese people. It also {#blank#}5{#/blank#} for the harmony (和谐) between people and the environment. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the mascot shows disabled (残疾的) players are very strong. It also sends Chinese people's best {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to all disabled people around the world.

    Beijing successfully (成功地) held the Paralympics {#blank#}8{#/blank#} September 6th to 17^th in 2008. Many players from all over the world {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the games. There were 20 different kinds of sports for them. Our country tried its best {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the Paralympics best.

Dear Brad,

    In about 3 months, I will take a very important test. If I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (pass) the test with good grades, I can get to the 10^th grade and choose a good school {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (study) in. Now I am trying my best to make my dream {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (come) true. At the same time, I'm the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class. I am so busy with my school work and duties as a monitor that I don't have enough time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (keep) a balance between them. Gradually I become lazy. The other day, my head teacher {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (tell) me that she was disappointed in my poor performance as the class monitor. Her words really discouraged me.

    What should I do now, to give up or not to give up as the class monitor? I must {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(do) my best in school because how well I do will influence where I go after this school year is over and it can affect the rest of my life. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (be) a class monitor is also a valuable learning experience because my teacher trusts me {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) a good leader. I don't want {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (go) to my parents for suggestions, for they will get worried about me. Can you tell me how {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (choose)?

                                                                                                                                                                                  Yours,

                                                                                                                                                                                   Gates
