If you visit the animal shelter (收容所) in Salinas, California, you'll see huge signs that have a picture of a dog and a cat on them. These signs {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (put) in front of the shelter to catch people's attention. The signs make people interested in the shelter and encourage them {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (visit) it—and maybe even take a cat or a dog into their homes.

    Each year, the Salinas shelter {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (accept) thousands of dogs and cats. The animals are either lost ones {#blank#}4{#/blank#} are left by people who can't take care of them. Of all the animals, some of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they) are taken into new homes. Some animals are moved to other shelters to live a better life. Unluckily, some cannot be saved because they are too sick or are thought to be dangerous.

    Animal shelters provide food, medicine, and safe places for animals to sleep in. But they are not the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (good) homes. The animals have to stay in small cages. The people who work at shelters do their best to care for the animals, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the animals do not always get the attention or exercise they need.

    To prevent animals from {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (become) homeless, pet doctors advise the owners to take good care {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their pets. Most pet doctors also suggest people make sure their pets have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} special surgery (外科手术). In this way animals won't have more babies. And it reduces (减少) the number of homeless animals.

    What do you want to be in the future? Different people have different {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (opinion). Let's have a look {#blank#}2{#/blank#} what the students at Green High School think of their future jobs.

    Linda is good at Maths, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} she wants to be a Maths teacher. She likes Maths so much that she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study) hard on Maths every day, even at weekends. For example, Linda {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (do) Maths exercises while her two brothers were watching TV from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock yesterday evening. She also likes kids very much. So it's the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (good) thing for her to be a teacher.

    Maria is good-looking, and her favourite actor is Jackie Chan. She wants to work with {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (he) as an actress. She takes acting classes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (two) a week. She also joins the Acting Club at school.

    What about Andy? He is very strong and brave. He wants to be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} policeman and catch many thieves. Although it's a little dangerous, he thinks it's very {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (excite).

    Swimming is very popular. People like swimming in summer {#blank#}1{#/blank#} water makes people feel cool. If you like swimming and swim in a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} / rɒŋ/ place, it may not be safe. These years, a lot of people lost their lives when they were enjoying {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (them) in the water, and most of them were students. But some people still don't take care {#blank#}4{#/blank#} themselves while swimming. They often think they swim so {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (good) that nothing can happen to them in water. Summer is here {#blank#}6{#/blank#} /əˈgen/.If you go swimming in summer, don't forget that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} /ˈbetə(r)/ swimmers have died in water. They died because they weren't {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (care), not because they can't swim. So don't get into water when you are alone. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} there is a "No swimming" sign, don't get into water. If you remember these, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (swim)will be safer.
