—Great idea. You do need a break.

    Mr Brown's horse was lost at night. All of his friends were very {#blank#}1{#/blank#} to hear that and came to see him together. After {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（听） his story, one of them said, “Why didn't you close the door of the stable(马厩) last night?” “You aren't a deaf man”, the second said. “Didn't you {#blank#}3{#/blank#}anything at that moment? The thief(小偷) must {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(赶走) the horse away out of the gate, and couldn't carry it on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} back.” “I agree with you,” said the third man. “How {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(careful) you are! Every evening before I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to bed, I lock my stable first and put the key in my box. Why didn't you do so?”The more they said, the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}excited they became. At last Mr Brown couldn't stand any more and said {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(angry), “None of you would help me look for my horse or catch the thief. Do you think that it's all my fault(错误）?{#blank#}10{#/blank#} don't you blame(责备) the thief?”

    Anny is my little daughter. She is only six years old. She always does some {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（housework） at home. It is easy {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（do） for her.

    The number one chore she does {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to take out the rubbish. She does it well and never forgets to do it. Sometimes, if the rubbish is too heavy {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（carry）, I will help her.

    Anny often helps me {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（clean） the floor. I hate mopping（用拖把拖洗） the floor. After I finish the work, I often have a serious backache, because there is something wrong {#blank#}6{#/blank#} my back. But Anny loves it, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} she likes playing with water.

    Anny also knows how {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（put） empty dinner plates into the dishwasher（洗碗机）. She even helps {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to put the dirty clothes into the washing machine when I am doing some washing. Anny is really {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（help） at home.

— You're so kind.
