Mr Henry lived in a small village. All day he worked on his farm and never went to the 1.

Sometimes he went to the2 town to buy something, but he always walked there and never took a bus or train. His daughter, Ann, 3 her father and found work in a hospital in the capital. As she was 4 ， she had no time to go back to the village. But she 5 her father and asked him to come to the capital. When Mr Henry heard from his daughter, he was quite6 and was soon ready to set off. The next day, as soon as he got to the 7 ， he rang Ann to tell her the time he would arrive.

Mr Henry spent about sixteen hours on the train. As soon as he 8 ， he saw his daughter standing there to meet him. Ann ran up to him and found that her father looked pale.

“What's the matter with you，Dad?” Ann asked 9.

“Nothing,” answered Mr Henry. “I'm just not used to sitting backwards in the train.”

“Oh，dear,” laughed the girl. “Why didn't you exchange 10 with the man opposite you?” “How can I do that?” answered Mr Henry. “No one sat opposite me!”

    The Americans were getting ready to send their first man to the moon, an old Irishman (爱尔兰人) was 1 them on TV in a hotel room. There was an Englishman in the room, 2. And he said to the Irishman, "The Americans are very 3, aren't they? They are going to 4 some men to the moon. It's a very long way from our world." "Oh, that's 5,"the Irishman answered quickly." "The Irishman are going to send some men to the sun in months' 6. That's much 7 away than the moon, you know. "The Englishman was very 8 when he heard this. "Oh, yes it is," he said, "But the sun is too 9 for people to visit."

    The Irishman laughed and answered, "Well, the Irish are clever, too, you know. We 10 go to the sun during the day, of course. We'll go there during the night."

    I was bored last night. So I went to watch the film Treasure Island. I'm not a 1 of pirates(海盗), and I didn't watch many pirate movies. I think this movie is the best one I have seen. It took me to a world of pirates. Though they are pirates, 2 they aren't scary. Eddie Izzard 3 the role of Long John Silver in the movie. I think he acted best. I have never thought much of him. As an actor before, but the movie certainly beat my mind. Toby Regbo, who played Jim Hawkins, performed very 4, too. He told us that the real treasure to us was kindness, not the gold on the island. Other 5 also did a good job.

    The movie was really a 6. So I'd like to 7 it to you. I'm sure you will love it.

A man in Shanwei in eastern Guangdong Province rented 12 trucks to protect his restaurant against typhoon Saola, which became a piece of hot news.

The restaurant is just over 100 {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(metre) away from the sea,but it did not experience any loss from Saola, according to Southern Metropolis Daily. "The tall, huge and strong trucks can protect the restaurant from the typhoon,"said the restaurant owner, Mr Lin. Lin even loaded mud（装载泥浆）onto the trucks to make {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they) heavy enough to keep strong when the typhoon came. Typhoon Saola resulted in a rainstorm in Shanwei. 68{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lucky),it did not do any harm to his restaurant.

These trucks cost Lin {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(much) than 20,000 yuan. Some people thought it was unnecessary to protect the restaurant by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(spend) so much money on the trucks. However, Lin {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(believe) it was valuable. This was not {#blank#}7{#/blank#}first time for Lin to use trucks to protect his restaurant. Lin also saved his restaurant with 12 trucks during the earlier typhoon Doksuri {#blank#}8{#/blank#}August. He said he would do the same {#blank#}9{#/blank#}next typhoon comes.

After learning that Saola was gradually leaving, Lin decided to return the trucks {#blank#}10{#/blank#} reopen the restaurant.
