It was sunny and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} again at this time of year. John went to the beach to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} his weekend. He was lying on the sand and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}to music. Suddenly he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} someone crying for help. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} up hurriedly and looked towards the voice. He saw a little boy waving(挥动) his hands in the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}a little far away. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#} off his clothes and jumped into the water{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. He swam to the little boy, held him, kept his head {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the water and swam back to the beach. At last, the boy was safe. He thanked John a{#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    Layla and her family were driving to the town park. It was a hot day. She wanted to swim in the lake. As they got out of the car, Layla saw {#blank#}1{#/blank#} friends.

    In {#blank#}5{#/blank#} families have picnics near the lake. The kids play and swim in the lake.

    In the morning of autumn, the lake has fog (雾) over it. Layla's dad once {#blank#}6{#/blank#}her something about fog: Hot summer days warm the water, and then cool autumn air {#blank#}7{#/blank#} over the lake's warm water. The water vapor (水蒸气) in the air gets cool. It {#blank#}8{#/blank#} small drops of water (水珠). We can see those drops of water hang in the air as fog.

    Layla loves winter at the park, too. The {#blank#}9{#/blank#} temperatures turn the water into ice. Many people go skating on the ice.
