Hans said to his friend Kurt, "I'm going to take my car and drive to London." Kurt said," Driving to London is very difficult. You aren't going to find your hotel." But Hans was not afraid. He drove to Calais, put his car on his ship, took it off at Dover and drove to London.

    He stopped near the city and looked at his map. Then he drove into London, but he didn't find his hotel. He drove round and round for an hour, and then he stopped and got out of his car. A taxi came, and Hans stopped it. "Take me to the Brussels Hotel." he said. But he didn't get into the taxi; he got back into his car. The taxi man laughed, but then he drove to the Brussels Hotel and Hans followed him in his car. They got to the hotel in two minutes.

    A couple of young men were fishing at a lake. Suddenly the policeman jumped out of the forest.

    At once, one of the men threw his rod (鱼竿) down and started running through the forest, and the policeman ran after him.

    After about half a mile, the man stopped and stooped (弯腰) over his hands on his legs to catch his breath. The policeman finally caught up to him, "Let me see your fishing license (证件), Boy!" the policeman said.

    The man pulled out his wallet and gave the policeman a fishing license.

    "Well, guy." said the policeman, "You must be about stupid as a box of rocks! You don't have to run from me if you have a fishing license."

    "Yes, Sir", replied the young man, "But my friend back there, well, doesn't have one."

Shortly after Mary left the university, she went to travel in Canada. When she returned to New York, she told a lot of funny things to her best friend, Jack. Jack has become very {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(interest) in Canada from then on. And he decided to have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} visit there. 

The next summer vacation, Jack and Mary had a plan {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(go) to Canada together. But Mary's mother was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(serious) ill so she went to the airport to see her friend off. 

When they got to the airport, Mary had to go to the washroom. After she came back, she couldn't find Jack because there were so many people in the airport. She looked {#blank#}5{#/blank#} him everywhere, but it was hard to find Jack among the people. 

Suddenly, Mary saw Jack. She felt very happy {#blank#}6{#/blank#} shouted, "Hi, Jack. Here, here!" At the same time, Jack waved his arms. "I'm here!" In three minutes, so many policemen came to the front of Jack and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(catch) him, "Please come with us to the police office. "

After the policemen found out the truth, they let {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they) free. Why? Because the word "hijack" in English has different {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(meaning). You can look it up in the dictionary {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you want to know about it. 

 Old Mother Wind was talking with the Tall Tree in the forest, "I' ve just passed by the grass, and there I saw the Best Thing in the world. "

Bobby Mouse happened to sit under the tree and heard those1 . "The Best Thing in the world — what can that be?" he 2 "Well, it must be a lot of delicious nuts! I' ll go and find it. " Then Bobby Mouse ran 3 the grass. 

 He was running so4 that he didn't see Peter Rabbit until Peter Rabbit jumped out and asked, "5 are you going in such a hurry?"

"To find the Best Thing in the world, " Bobby Mouse answered. 

"The Best Thing in the world? I really6 eating carrots. That must be lots of carrots. I' ll go and join7 . " Peter Rabbit said to Bobby Mouse and ran after him. 

 Before long, they met Johnny Chuck, who asked the 8 question as Peter Rabbit just did. 

"To find the Best Thing in the world! Would you like to join us?" they shouted. 

"The Best Thing in the world?" said Johnny Chuck. "9 is more enjoyable than my own little home, the warm sunshine and the beautiful blue sky. I will 10 go with you!" So he stayed at home and played among the flowers with Old Mother Wind happily. 

 When Bobby Mouse and Peter Rabbit finally reached the grass, they had run far and fast all day long and still they didn't find the Best Thing in the world. When the 11 came, they started going back home. Now they didn't hurry in the dark12 they were very tired and hungry. 

 They came across Old Mother Wind halfway home. 

"Did you13 the Best Thing in the world?" asked Old Mother Wind. 

"No!" Their 14 sounded very sad. 

"Johnny Chuck has it, " she said. "It is being15 with the things you have. The Best Thing in the World is just around you. "

When Mrs. Gullickson was assigning (分配) a partner to us for a project, I 1 I could work with my friend or someone I could have fun with. Unluckily, I was told that I would work with that serious guy I didn't like working with.

Although I was not pleased with the result, I 2 tried my best to get on well with my partner. However, He looked at me as if I weren't there. He made me think I might mess up (搞糟) our 3 .

At first, our study on this task didn't go well because I was not 4 when talking with him about the difficult work. I even wanted to give up, but 5 this thought soon because I wanted to show I wouldn't chicken out (退缩).

After many talks, we somehow 6 our plans. I had to say he pushed ahead with most of the project. 7 he did let me join in it as much as I could, which gave me more confidence. I guessed I could see 8 Mrs. Gullickson paired him with me.

One day I knew that he was sent to hospital for a serious illness when the final presentation (汇报) was coming. I shared my 9 about the final presentation, but he told me "You can make it". 

I finally got the A-plus grade for our team. He thanked me for my hard work and I thought I was so 10 to be his partner. We were glad that we had got closer, both on study and relationship.
