Last week I took a train home. My friend gave me her newspaper and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (say) there was an article(文章) I would like. I opened the newspaper. I saw a picture of a little girl and her mother, and there were some words {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the picture. It {#blank#}3{#/blank#} "Mom, do caterpillars (毛虫) know they become butterflies (蝴蝶), or does God surprise them? "I was very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (surprised) to see these words. They let me remember something about myself.

    Two years ago, doctors told me that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was very difficult for me to be a mother. But I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (real) wanted to be a mom. Would God surprise me and let me have a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (child)? After two weeks, it was Christmas Day. My husband gave me a present. It was a butterfly ring. I liked it very much. A few {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (day) later, I learned I was pregnant (怀孕的). I had waited for four years. Finally, I had my own baby. Life is full of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hope). Maybe some surprises are {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wait) for you in the future.

    There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In spring, the weather is warm. It is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} good time for walking. And the Sun always {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (shine) brightly. Summer comes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} spring. It is very hot. The children like to go {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (swim). It often rains. Sometimes it rains {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (heavy). In autumn it is cool. It's also a time {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (take) a walk. The farmers are busy {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (harvest). The leaves fall {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the trees. Winter is a very cold season in a year. The wind blows {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (strong). Sometimes it snows, and we can make {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (snowman).

    Nick is a 14-year-old boy. His life is full {#blank#}1{#/blank#} exams and studies on weekdays. He has little free time. He thinks playing computer games {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) the best way to relax. When he has time, he sits in front of the computer. Just like that way, he doesn't eat {#blank#}3{#/blank#}drink for several hours.

    Last weekend, he played games on the computer again. He was too excited and didn't {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (want) to move. He didn't have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (something) for six hours. When he had to go to the bathroom, he found he could not move. His parents {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (take) him to the hospital at once. The doctor told him he should have a good rest and pay attention {#blank#}7{#/blank#} exercise. After coming back from the hospital, Nick follows the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (doctor) advice. He often plays soccer with his friends. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} sometimes he still plays computer games on weekends, he never does it for long. Now be lives {#blank#}10{#/blank#} happy and healthy life.

    A kiwi is a strange bird because it cannot fly. It has no wings or tail. It {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (not have) feathers like other birds. Its feathers look like hair. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (sleep) during the day and it smells things {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) than most birds do.

    The kiwi lives only in New Zealand and it's endangered(濒危的) now. Take the North Island brown kiwi for example. There {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) about 35,000 individuals left in the world. Many {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (animal), such as dogs, cats, and so on, threaten this beautiful, small bird. In some areas, most {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (kiwi) do not reach the age of breeding. So the brown kiwi population has gone down greatly.

    New Zealanders want their kiwis {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (live). The government says that people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (can) kill kiwis. There is a picture of a kiwis on New Zealand money. Sometimes, people from New Zealand are called "kiwis".
