Many people travel during the holiday season but do not make sure that their houses and homes  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (protect).Crime goes up {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (rapid) during the winter and summer holiday seasons.Here are some things that you should keep in mind when you go {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a holiday.

     Always give {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(strange)the feeling that you are at home. Have the snow {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (clean) off your stairs or out ofyour driveway during the winter season. You might ask someone to park {#blank#}6{#/blank#} carsin your driveway.

       Tell your newspaper deliverer that you are not at home. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have)a pile of newspapers and other mail on your doorsteps tells people that you arenot at home, so you could also have a neighbor {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a relative get yourmail every day.

       Fix a timer in some of your rooms {#blank#}9{#/blank#} turns lights on andoff during different times of the day. Some TVs also come with a timer that youcould set to be turned on during certain times. Have motion (运动) sensitive lights outside your house that keep thieves away {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you are not at home.

    At each stage of our life，we meet different kinds of people. Some are funny； some teach us lessons in life while others occupy a special space in our heart. The people {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (call)"best friends" are just these special friends.

    In our childhood，"best friends" might have meant the persons who are always by our side，{#blank#}2{#/blank#}it may be in the classroom or in the dining hall. However，as we are getting{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (old) than before，our definition(定义)of "best friends" changes. In my opinion，best friends are those who love you {#blank#}4{#/blank#}who you are and help you become who you should be. People in our life come and go，but some people stay. They are the people we should never lose.

    True friends are those who will never leave you when you need them most. They are always there{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wait)for you and they love you when you forget to love{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(you)．The best feeling in the whole world is knowing that there is {#blank#}7{#/blank#}person who always prays for us and always keeps us in their thoughts. Friendship may not{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(necessary)be based on age，but it is based on{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(understand). Even our parents can be our best friends！So let us build our friendship and try our best {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (see)the good side of everyone!

    I like reading. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I was 9 years old, I caught a bad cold. I had to stay at home for several weeks. My mother bought me some novels. Soon I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (attract) by the stories. Since then I have made use of any time to read. Now, I often surf the Internet at home, where I've found many students like reading as I do. We exchange our reading experience and become online friends. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (read) brings me both happiness and friendship.

    Marty is a disabled boy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} suffers from a muscle disease. Sometimes he is too weak {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(run) or climb stairs as quickly as other people. The doctors don't know {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (exact) what is wrong with him. Luckily, Marty has learned to adapt {#blank#}4{#/blank#} his disability. In order to make his life happy and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (satisfy), Marty keeps busy doing things that do not require physical strength. He has friends with {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he can go to movies and football matches and he has lots of pets. He used to dream of one day being a famous football player and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(represent) his country in the World Cup. Even when he is made fun of, he doesn't get {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (annoy). Disabled {#blank#}9{#/blank#}he is, Marty has become stronger and more independent. He never feels sorry for himself and he enjoys as rich and full a life as everyone else.

    He suggests that we normal people should give the disabled {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (encourage) rather than laugh at them.
