    Different people like different things. What do these people like?

    Daming's grandparents like {#blank#}1{#/blank#} some exercise in a park every day. Daming's mother likes to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} for clothes. She spends much money on them. Betty's cousin likes to read {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and magazines and she also loves films. Tony's sister likes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and going to concerts.

    How do you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} presents for them?

    In Germany there are different {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (kind) of high schools. Some prepare students for work, and others prepare them {#blank#}2{#/blank#} college. All schools are great places for making friends and learning German.

    Short days Most high schools in Germany begin at about 8: 00 a. m. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} end at about 3: 30 p. m. This {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (mean) your morning will be busy with classes. You will have time to do 1180 homework and take part {#blank#}5{#/blank#} private (私人的) clubs after school.

    I'm sitting outside Grandpa's pigeon loft(鸽子房）and waiting for Goldie to come home. I'm really nervous about it because I{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(ask) to do an important job.

    Goldie is Grandpa's champion(冠军)racing pigeon. She's famous because she{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(win) lots of cups. This morning she had a race—flew two hundred miles away with lots of other pigeons. And now she{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(race) back home.

    "Come on, Goldie. Come on, Goldie!" That's me, calling Goldie back home. But I can't see her yet.

    I really want Goldie to win this race. I want{#blank#}4{#/blank#}give Grandpa the good news when I see him tonight in the hospital. My eyes search the blue sky，still no sign of Goldie.

    "Calm down, Danny!" I tell myself.

    But it's hard to be calm. This job is very important. I'll tell you why.

    Before the race, they{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(put)a ring on every pigeon's leg. When Goldie comes back, I will catch her to take her ring off, as fast{#blank#}6{#/blank#}I can, and put it in a little metal tube(管子),then put that tube in Grandpa's special clock. That will record the time when Goldie finishes the race. It should be Grandpa's job. But while he{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(prepare) for the race, he fell ill suddenly and was sent to hospital.

    So that's why I'm nervous, waiting for Goldie. I'm getting more nervous every minute, because Goldie{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) here now. But the sky is blue and empty.

    "{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(not worry), "I tell myself." Goldie always comes back. "But where is she? What will I tell Grandpa?

    I wait until it's nearly dark. I give up! Then I lock{#blank#}10{#/blank#}other pigeons in the loft. I have to see Grandpa tonight in the hospital.
