And you must do all these by yourself. If you keep  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  like this for a long time, you are sure to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  in your study.

    Zach told his mom, "I don't want to move. I'm going to miss my friends. I'm also going to miss my tree house. I want to take it with me." "Zach, but we have to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} your father's changed his job. He is already {#blank#}5{#/blank#} waiting for us.

    Without the television set, the radio and more importantly, the computer, we will{#blank#}1{#/blank#} have any fun in our homes today. However, the people in the past had their own clever{#blank#}2{#/blank#}of enjoying themselves.

    Some things are basic for us{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, but the people in the past could live the lives to the full even without them. We should not look down on the wisdom of people long ago.
