There was a man named Ben. He made caps to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} money. One day he went to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} his caps. It was very hot. When he went {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a forest, he wanted to have a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . He came up to a large tree, put his caps on the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , took one of them and put it on his head. Then he lay down and soon fell asleep.
    “Where are my caps?” Ben {#blank#}6{#/blank#} when he woke up. He looked up and saw many monkeys in the trees. Each monkey had a cap on its {#blank#}7{#/blank#} .
    “Give back my caps!” Ben {#blank#}8{#/blank#} at the monkeys. But the monkeys couldn't understand him. Ben got very angry. He took off his own cap, threw it on the ground and cried, “If you want all my caps, you may take this one, too!”
    What {#blank#}9{#/blank#} then? The monkeys did the same. Each monkey took off its cap and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it on the ground. Ben was very glad. He quickly collected all his caps and went on his way.

Helen: Hi, Peter. I think I've made Alice {#blank#}1{#/blank#} and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Peter: What {#blank#}2{#/blank#}?

Helen:You know Ann is Alice's best friend, right?

Peter: Uh-huh.

Helen: Well, the more I got to know Ann, the more I realized that we have a lot in common, so we've been spending more time together {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Peter:But what's wrong with that?

Helen:Umm...it makes Alice unhappy because she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Ann is now better friends with me than with her.

Peter: I see. Mmm...why don't you ask Alice to join you each time you do something with Ann? Then she won't feel left out.

Helen: Oh, good idea! That can make our {#blank#}5{#/blank#} stronger.

    Friends, I'd like to{#blank#}1{#/blank#}you something important. Before you go to another country, it is a great help if you know the language and some of the  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}of the country.

    When people meet each other for the{#blank#}3{#/blank#}time in Britain, they say “How do you do?” and shake{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Usually they do not shake hands when they just meet or say goodbye. But they shake hands after they haven't{#blank#}5{#/blank#}for a long time or when they will be away from each other for a long time.

    Last year a group of German students{#blank#}6{#/blank#}to England for holiday. Their teacher{#blank#}7{#/blank#}them that the English people hardly shake hands. So when they met their English{#blank#}8{#/blank#}at the station, they kept their hands behind their backs. The English students had learned that the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}shake hands as often as possible, so they put their hands in front and got ready to shake hands with them. It {#blank#}10{#/blank#}both of them laugh.

Dear Julia,
