Dear Tommy,

    I'm your good friend Gina. Here{#blank#}1{#/blank#}a photo of my room. The {#blank#}2{#/blank#}on the sofa is me. A red quilt is on the bed. Red is my{#blank#}3{#/blank#} color. A basketball and a volleyball are under my bed. A pair of shoes is {#blank#}4{#/blank#}my bed , too. I know {#blank#}5{#/blank#} are good for us, so I like to do sports. I like to play them {#blank#}6{#/blank#}my friends after school.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} is that on the desk? It's an apple. I like apples. My mother likes{#blank#}8{#/blank#}, too. I always eat apples with my mom after dinner. I like listening to （听）the radio. It's relaxing for me . So I have a(n){#blank#}9{#/blank#}on the table.

    I think my room is tidy. What about {#blank#}10{#/blank#}?

Yours,

    When I was a child in kindergarten, I had to take a nap(小睡) every single day. It was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(probable) my least favorite thing about being in kindergarten.

    But now, as {#blank#}2{#/blank#} adult, I love taking naps. Being able to relax and get some rest in the middle of the day is great! But attitudes toward naps {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) quite different when comparing the US and China.

    In the US, taking a nap in the middle of the day {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (look) down upon. People {#blank#}5{#/blank#} take naps are seen as lazy. If you fall {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(sleep) at work, you can even be fired. But in China people have a much more relaxed attitude toward taking naps {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in the US.

    On the one hand, it is true that you spend less time {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (work) if you take a nap. But on the other hand, having a short rest can help you work {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(well). A good rest can improve your mood as well. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}why not take a nap during lunch break and make the rest of the day more enjoyable?

    One day a man {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（buy）a lot of coconuts（椰子）and put them all on his horse. He was moving{#blank#}2{#/blank#}（it）to his friends' house. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the way, the man met a boy. “How long would it take{#blank#}4{#/blank#}（get）to the house?" he asked the boy.

    "If you go {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（slow）, "the boy said, "you will get there very soon. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} if you go fast, it will take you all day. ”

    "What a funny answer!" said the man. He did not{#blank#}7{#/blank#}（listen）to the boy. He made his horse run as fast as possible. Some coconuts fell off. He had to stop {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（pick）them up. Then he made his horse run fast again. But the coconuts fell off again, and he stopped again.

    He did this many {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（time）, and it was night when he finally got to his {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（friends）house.

—Yeah. "Made in China" is seen all over the world now.
