    Everyone has his dreams of the future. But do you know w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} future really is? I think future is now. That is to say, we m{#blank#}2{#/blank#} treasure(珍惜)every minute and second.

    There is an old English{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(say), “Gain time, gain life.” Then what is time? Time is something that can't be seen or touched, but we feel it {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(pass) by. Time is always with us. We often say “Time is money”, but it is more {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(value), because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone a{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, it will never return. That's why we say time is priceless.

    Grasping the present is grasping the future. As students, we should work hard in o {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to create a bright future of our own. We should m{#blank#}8{#/blank#} the best use of every hour and be the master today. We should do everything as {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good) as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.

Time and tide{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wait) for no man. If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow.

—No, Dave is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (funny) than Paul.

    Now my daughter Donna and Laura are good friends. But you know Laura's aunt Lillian was my good friend{#blank#}1{#/blank#}I was a child.

    One day, Donna said to me, "Mom, I made {#blank#}2{#/blank#}new friend at school. Can she come our home tomorrow?" "Sure. You can invite(邀请)her {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(you). "I said and thought of my own friend, Lillian. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter, I was shy, but Lillian made friends with me and helped me{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (much)than anyone else.

    Once, Lillian went on a trip to Florida. That was the first time we had to be away from each other {#blank#}5{#/blank#}a few days. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , three days later, Lillian's sister told me that Lillian couldn't come back anymore. My heart almost {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(break). It made me think about the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(say), " A friend is easier lost than found.

The next day Donna brought her new friend home. "Hi, Mrs Loggia. My name is Laura." Laura was so much like Lillian. I was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(true)surprised when Laura's mom came to pick her up that afternoon. I opened the door  {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (let)her in. "Judy! " "It's me, Lillian's sister." Yes, Laura looked familiar(熟悉的). She was Lillian's niece(外甥女).
