The police do many things for us. They help keep our things and us safe and help keep cars {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（move） safely. They take care of people who are {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (hurt). Then they send these people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a doctor.

    The police go around town to see {#blank#}4{#/blank#} everything is all right. They get around town in many ways. Some of them walk or go by car. In some big cities, some of the police ride on {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(horse). It is strange.

    As {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (them) go around town, the police help people. Sometimes they find lost children and take them home. If the police see a fight，they will put {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(冠词) end to it right away. Sometimes people will ask the police how to get to a place in town. The police can always tell the people which way to go.

    Some police stand at crossings. They tell the cars when to go and when to stop. They help children {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (cross ) the street. They also help people who can't walk too {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (well).

    Without the police, our streets would not be safe. Cars might go too fast and hurt people. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(lose) people might never be found. The police do a good job. We need them. And we should thank them for a job well done.

    Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and often help each other.

    But neither of them would like {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) their head. They're both poor though they work hard. Once Uncle Li went to town {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) some medicine for his wife.

    In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive (昂贵的). He told Uncle Wang about it.

    They decided {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (carry) some apples to the city. However, a lot of apples had already been carried there when they arrived. They didn't know what {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (do). They felt unhappy and returned to their village. They didn't understand why they couldn't make money, but they both agreed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (buy) more apples and take them to the market because they thought they didn't bring enough. How foolish they were!
