    It was a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  day during the summer holiday. My mother and I got on the bus to my grandma's village. It was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  dry that I was really thirsty. I began to think of the sweet watermelons and other {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  in Grandma's house. I could hardly wait to arrive there.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}  took us two hours to get there . Grandma brought out a big watermelon and cut it. It was nice to eat the watermelon {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  such a hot day.

    When I was waiting for a bus at a station, I saw a young man get into a telephone box near the station. After a short time, he came out and{#blank#}1{#/blank#} very sad (难过的). As he saw me, he came over.

    "Good afternoon, sir," he said. "{#blank#}2{#/blank#} was Abraham Lincoln born, do you know?"

    I felt a little {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at his words. "Something may be wrong (有毛病的) with him," I thought. Then he asked {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and I could see that he was not joking (开玩笑). So I thought for a minute and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him that Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809.

    The young man thanked {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  turned around and walked into the telephone box again. A few minutes later, he came out {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. He thanked me again and told me that he wanted to make a telephone call to his friend but he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} his telephone number.

    "You {#blank#}9{#/blank#} me remember it," he said. "His telephone number is '180909', and you can remember it easily {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you know when the great man was born."

    "Goodbye, Lightning," Molly said to her horse. "I'll see you in a few weeks." Outside, her father called; "Molly, we' ll be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}!"

    Molly ran into the car. She sat in the back seat (后座){#blank#}2{#/blank#} her brother. Her mother and father sat in front. "Just think, tomorrow we'll be in New York City!" her mom said. Molly worried about the trip. She was{#blank#}3{#/blank#} that she wouldn't like being in a big city.

    She looked out the car as her father {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to the airport (机场). She saw large green corn fields (玉米地). And the tall green flees grew best in the summer sun. It took them forty{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to get to the airport. The airport was busy The 10-hour flight (飞行) was not very {#blank#}6{#/blank#}for Molly. She didn't like looking out the plane. She read a book on the plane,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}the book was a little boring.

    When the plane {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the family climbed in a taxi. The {#blank#}9{#/blank#} was full of cars. Molly couldn't see green anywhere. "This is a lot different than back home," Molly said. "Yes. Do you {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it, Molly?" asked her mother. "Well, I' m not very sure," said Molly, "but I'll try."
