The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely {#blank#}1{#/blank#} by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on {#blank#}3{#/blank#} cheek! She stepped back {#blank#}4{#/blank#}surprised and put up her hands, as if in 50．{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I guessed that there was probably a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed {#blank#}7{#/blank#}his nose touched George's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} hand. They both apologized－ another  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} mistake!

    The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland. It can be found in several parts of the world. It will bring you into a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} world and make your dreams come true, {#blank#}11{#/blank#} you are travelling through space, visiting a pirate ship or meeting your favourite fairy tale or Disney cartoon character. As you wander around the {#blank#}12{#/blank#} amusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or on the street. Of course Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from giant {#blank#}13{#/blank#} ship to terrifying free-fall drops. With all these {#blank#}14{#/blank#}, no wonder tourism is increasing {#blank#}15{#/blank#}there is a Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland!

    Crows(乌鸦) are remarkably intelligent birds. Now these feathered geniuses are given a job: Six crows have been trained to pick up rubbish in the Puy du Fou historical theme park in western France. Whenever the six crows put cigarette ends or other small {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (piece) of trash in a special container, it offers a treat to reward the crows {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their efforts.

    The idea came from one of the park's employees, Christophe. In 2012, the theme park held a show during which the crows picked up roses and brought them to a “princess”. It was the show {#blank#}3{#/blank#} inspired him. Since then, six crows {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(raise) and trained to do the same with rubbish. The training system is similar to the one for testing crows' intelligence, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a food dispenser(分发器) gives away a food reward when a crow {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (correct) performs a task. Christophe also introduced other species of birds to go through the training. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (compare) with other birds, crows are much cleverer.

    The purpose of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (train) the crows is to educate the people to reflect on themselves. Since the birds are able to protect the environment, we need to care about it too. “It is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} funny way to remind people not {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(throw) the rubbish everywhere,” said Christophe.

    It was Mother's Day morning last year. My five­year­old son, Tenyson, and I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (leave)the supermarket after shopping when an old woman fell over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her, but the woman was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (serious) hurt and shaking with pain.

    At the front of the supermarket a charity (慈善) group was selling flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (buy) the lady a flower. "It will make {#blank#}4{#/blank#} feel better," he said. I was amazed that he'd come up {#blank#}5{#/blank#} such a sweet idea. So we went to the flower seller to buy a flower for the lady.

    By now rescuers had arrived, and were attending the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (injure) woman. As we walked up to her, my son became frightened by all the blood and medical {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (equip). He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

    Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband {#blank#}8{#/blank#} told him, "My son was very upset for your wife and bought her this flower to cheer her up."

    At that, the old man was moved and said, "Thank you so much, you have a good son. Happy Mother's Day to you."

    The man then gave his wife the flower, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (tell) her who it was from. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with thanks in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

    Dogs are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} very popular pet. Most of them just live with their families. But some dogs have very special jobs {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (do). A group of dogs {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (know) as "Therapy Dogs". These dogs are family pets with special training, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} allows them to go into public buildings and comfort people {#blank#}5{#/blank#} need. The dogs are trained to be calm and quiet. Loud noises and unfamiliar places don't frighten them. They enjoy spending time with people.

    Some therapy dogs go into places, such as hospitals and nursing homes. When the dogs visit the patients, the patients are cheered up. They have fun {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pet) the dogs and look forward to their visits. The dogs help to brighten their day. Therapy dogs can improve people's health as well. Studies show that when people pet animals, their blood {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (press) and heart rates go down. They are calmer and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) mood improves.

    Other therapy dogs work in schools and libraries. They serve as warm and caring {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (friend) to children, but they also do {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (much). In one town in California, therapy dogs have become children's reading buddies. The dogs make a great audience. The children look forward to reading to the dogs, and the dogs love the attention.
