NICK: I know, but I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} help Trig than go to bed. He's tearing up his English exercise book and he's throwing his grammar book round the room. I don't think he's very happy.
JENNY: Well, you {#blank#}3{#/blank#}stay up too long.
NICK: Trig, stop it. You {#blank#}4{#/blank#} throw your books at the wall. It won't help and you might break something. You {#blank#}5{#/blank#}work at your English now. What are you learning?

    Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one {#blank#}1{#/blank#} two years. The babies often die {#blank#}2{#/blank#} illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot {#blank#}3{#/blank#} bamboo forests and pandas in China than there are now. But then humans started to cut {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the forests, and there was less bamboo for the pandas. Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the remaining forests. Another 200 {#blank#}5{#/blank#} live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries.

    Today is March 5^th. It is my birthday. I get a lot of{#blank#}1{#/blank#}from my friends and family.

    They are in the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}boxes. My father gives me a yellow box and there is a book in it. My mother says, “It's our present for you, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}it's good for you.” Jack, one of my friends, gives me a small box. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}is in it? There's a pen. My sister gives me a round box. I think it is a big cake, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}it is a football. I like playing football very much, so I am happy to have it. My uncle gives me a big red box. I open it and find{#blank#}6{#/blank#}box in it. What colour is this box? It's green. I open the small box and find a piece of paper in it. It says,” Go to your bedroom, then you'll see a black box. Your{#blank#}7{#/blank#}present is in it.” I go to my bedroom and{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the box on the table. Then I open it. I am very happy to find a radio in it！

    The English people often go out with {#blank#}1{#/blank#} umbrella or a raincoat. Why? Because the weather in England often changes {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    Spring can {#blank#}3{#/blank#} rainy or windy, but the weather is getting {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and you can hope for more sunny days. Summer is the best time for visitors to go to the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} or other places of interest. The weather is sunny and nice. People often go out to have a walk or swim. Autumn is a beautiful season. The green {#blank#}6{#/blank#} start to turn golden, then brown. You'd better {#blank#}7{#/blank#} some photos of autumn trees. In winter, it gets colder. Winds blow (吹) {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in this season, so don't {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to bring a warm sweater with you. January and February are the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of the year. The warmest days are often in July and August. The differences in temperature are not so great between winter and summer in Britain.
