Rosa liked making up stories. She was so sure that her classmates believed her from time to time. In fact, the whole class believed her! At first she supposed it was 1. Now, as she got up to talk before the class, she knew that making up stories had some way of coming back to make you sad.

    Rosa's parents were separated. Nine months out of the year, Rosa lived with her mother in an apartment on Anderson Street. But when summer 2, she went to her father's farm in Arizona.

    The farm was great! Rosa rode horses and helped with some farm work. Her father, however, was so 3 that he couldn't find time to go to other places with her. When she arrived each summer, her father would meet her at the airport and take her out to eat. And the day she went back to the city he would always buy her a present.

    When summer came to a close, Rosa returned to her mother. At school she heard lots of stories her friends told about their family trips. Rosa wished she had a 4to talk about too.

    Not long after 5 began, Rosa was looking through travel magazines in the school library. They talked about many exciting places, like England and Germany. When Rosa's friends asked what she had done in the summer, she made up something that was not6. Remembering the travel magazines she had read, she told her classmates that she and her father had gone to England.

    When the class began studying England, Mr Thomas asked Rosa to tell all the things she could 7 about her trip to England!

    Jack is my best friend. He is in a new school. He likes it very much. It's not far from his home. And it usually takes him 10 minutes to get to school by bike. School begins at 8: 00 every morning. But these days Jack is often late for school. This morning, he is late again. The teacher is very angry.

    "How do you usually come to school?" asks the teacher. "By bike." Jack answers. "What time do you usually get up?" "At 6: 30." "Well, it's not late. What time do you usually leave home?" "I leave home at 7: 55." "Why not leave home earlier?" "My mother is ill (生病的). She stays in bed all day. I must look after her and give her medicine at the right time， so I'm often late for school," says Jack with tears (泪水) in his eyes. "I see, Jack, you are a good boy!" says the teacher.

    We should not use more water than we actually need. If we do, we will not have enough water in the future.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}It is not a difficult question to answer. If we remove more fresh water than nature replaces, we have taken too much.

    Many cities run campaigns (运动) to get people to stop wasting water. They show them ways they can cut back on water use.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}What's more, they carry out programs that offer money to reduce water use. For example, they give people shower heads and toilets that use less water.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Another threat (威胁) to our water supply is pollution. When our sources of fresh water get polluted, we can no longer use this water. This also endangers (危及) the animals that depend on the water.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}We can save lots of water by not letting taps (水龙头) run while we brush our teeth or by turning off taps right after washing hands. By collecting cold water when we're taking warm showers, we can also save water.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}In this way, we can make full use of water.

     Once there was a good vegetable patch (菜地), and there grew a very big tree. Both the vegetables and the tree 1 the place wonderful. But no one knew that the vegetables in the patch and the tree couldn't 2 each other for a long time. The vegetables didn't like the tree's shade (树荫) because it stopped them from getting enough 3. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables. The 4 was that the vegetables drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him a little water.

     They kept this situation 5 the vegetables got completely bored with the tree one day. Then they decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would die.

     What would the tree do? Without question, the tree answered back 6 refusing to shade the vegetables from the sun. It was so hot that the vegetables became dry. Before long, all of them 7died.

     At that time, the vegetables and the tree realized that it was 8to help each other than to fight. They learned that they should 9 those around them. From then on, they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow. Before long, they together showed 10 a beautiful picture.
