Last weekend we celebrated Jacob turning nine{#blank#}1{#/blank#}his friends with an art party. Instead of hosting it at our house, we{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（decide ）to try something new to celebrate it. It cost US $50,00 to rent a small restaurant. I worked with a store manager. And I bought{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(balloon) and a few other things from him.

    On the day of the party, the tables in the restaurant{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(cover) and waiters and waitresses were ready to get to work when we arrived. We started with helping the children paint their own canvases(油画){#blank#}5{#/blank#}then create their own T-shirts. I should have advised parents {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(take)some old clothes,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (unlucky)we did not. When one child got paint all over{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(him), I felt bad about that.

    Overall, Jacob had{#blank#}9{#/blank#}wonderful time. We were able to do the art parity for minimal cost. The smile on his face at the end of the day was all{#blank#}10{#/blank#}mattered to me.

    In my family, there {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be) three people. My father is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (farm) and goes to work in the field every day. He isn't good at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (talk) but he gets on well with other people. My mother is very kind and is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (friend) to everybody. So when I have {#blank#}5{#/blank#} problem I will turn{#blank#}6{#/blank#} her for help. My friends say I am clever, because when the teacher asks {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (we) very difficult questions, I can come up with the answers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (quick). But my father thinks I am not patient. He says once I have difficulty in {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (solve) problems, I will {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (easy) give up. This is what I need to improve in the future.

    Nowadays more and more people like to travel, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (especial) when vacations come.A great number of people rush out of their homes or companies to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (travel) spots. They either drive or take a bus, a train, a ship {#blank#}3{#/blank#} so on. Some even ride bikes.

    However, there {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) another way of travelling—poorism. People have a tour in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} poorest areas of the worlds Some people may take a one-day poorest tour, and some even pay to stay in very poor neighborhoods {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (experience) the lowest living standards in the worlds Poorism tours take place around the world, and not just in the third world {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (country).You can, for instance, tour New York neighborhoods in the Bronx. Such tours can take people into the heart of poor areas. These tours may awaken people to pay {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (much) attention to long-standing poverty, or the effects of war.

    Some think that tours in the poor areas can raise social care. And the money from the tour can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (donate) to help the people {#blank#}10{#/blank#} live there.

    Mac was cycling along a road. With a heavy camp bag, he wasn't moving very fast. Suddenly he heard loud breathing behind him. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (look) to his side, he was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (terrify) to find it wasn't a dog but a wolf that was running after him. He reached {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the spray in the bag. With one hand on the handlebar, he fired it. A bright red color covered the wolf and it fell back shaking its head. But a minute {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(late) it was by his side again. He sprayed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} second time, the wolf falling back again but only to quickly restart {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (it) attack. The wolf was getting closer. Mac waved and yelled at passing {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(motorist) but meanwhile rode hard. He knew clearly he must be careful not to slow down. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fortunate) , Paul and Becky were driving along the same road when they spotted the scene. They drove toward Mac. When the car was in front of him, Mac jumped off the bike and dashed for the back door. Paul {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(open) the door so as to let Mac in. It was quite a while {#blank#}10{#/blank#} Mac became calm and thanked them.
