Birds can fly in the air. Fishes can {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in water. Tigers live on land. They are all animals. People like many interesting and beautiful animals but{#blank#}2{#/blank#} dislike many of them. The Mickey and Mouse appears (出现) on a lot of toys and clothes for{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . It is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} favorite all over the world. But a real mouse isn't cute. No one {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it.

    I'm a teacher. My students can always make me feel happy. It was near Christmas during my {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (one) term teaching at a new school. Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bring) a Christmas gift. In fact, I loved the children {#blank#}3{#/blank#} enjoyed teaching, so I wasn't expecting any gifts.

    Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (get) a toy monkey from a shy girl. I was told, "He is my favourite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor." {#blank#}5{#/blank#} happy I was!

    Next came a Dew set of Christmas tree lights that was "missing" from a mother's cupboard.

    Finally, I came to one little boy's gift which I had never received. It was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} old，dirty and broken Christmas storybook. Just when I wanted to express my happiness, I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stop) by the giver, "And see, it is new! It still has the price tag."

    When other children laughed at him, I stopped {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) and said, "Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, let's share one together. "Everyone listened {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (quiet) because I read the most wonderful Christmas Story of my life.

    I have kept those Christmas gifts since then. They always remind me {#blank#}10{#/blank#} my lovely kids.

    Rose is one of the funniest girls in her class. She {#blank#}1{#/blank#} like a boy, and she is good at performing. So she {#blank#}2{#/blank#}to play Harry Potter by her classmates last week. She said happily, " I'm sure that I am able to do the job well because I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the book many times already."

    Dick, one of Rose's best classmates, is also an actor in the play. He likes to perform the play with Rose. He said, "We are confident that we {#blank#}4{#/blank#} well in our school art festival next week."

    Everyone in the school is looking forward to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their performance.
