    Most children like watching TV. It's very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  . By watching TV they can see and learn a lot and know many things about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} country and the world. Of course, they can also {#blank#}3{#/blank#} over the radio. But they can learn better and more {#blank#}4{#/blank#} on TV. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  ? Because they can hear and watch at the same time. But they can't see {#blank#}6{#/blank#} over the radio. TV helps to open children's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . It helps to open their minds, too. They learn newer and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  ways of doing things. Many children watch TV only on Saturday or Sunday evening. They are always busy  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their lessons. But a few children watch TV every night. They go to bed very {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. They can' t have a good rest. How about you, my young friend?

(5) Last month, Mrs Obama, U.S. First Lady, paid a week-long visit to China focusing on {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. She visited some schools and universities.

    During the summer holidays, I worked as a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}at a vet's(兽医诊所), so I saw lots of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog I'd ever seen. She had thin snow-white hair on her fat body. She had big round eyes and always seemed surprised, but she was blind.

    She was brought to the vet's because her owner didn't want her any more. I thought Minnie was a sweet dog, though. "No one can know her by the ways she looks, "I thought. So we took care of her. Finally, I put an{#blank#}2{#/blank#}in the newspaper; Funny looking dog, who is quiet and has blind but beautiful eyes, needs a loving family. "Then a young man called. He said on the phone that his grandfather's sixteen-year-old dog had just died. I gave Minnie a good bath and made her hair feel soft. Then we waited for them to arrive.

    At last, an old car{#blank#}3{#/blank#}in front of the vet's. Two kids ran to the door. They took her happily into their arms. Then they ran to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see what he would say about Minnie. Inside the car, the grandfather held Minnie in his{#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Minnie licked his face. It was love at the first lick.

    "She is wonderful!" the old man smiled. I was thankful that Minnie had found a good home. Then I saw that the grandfather's eyes were a milky white colour, he was blind, too.
