—Oh, it's so easy. I wonder why I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (not think) of that.

    Many people may think that animals in the zoo are happy, free and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (luck), but most of them are sad. Do you {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (know) why? Animals {#blank#}3{#/blank#} tigers, lions, and bears usually {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (live) in forests or mountains. They run, jump, play with their {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (child) and catch small animals for food. But now they have to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (stay) in cages, small rooms in the zoo. They don't have to find food by {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (they) because the zoo keepers feed them. They do nothing but eat, walk {#blank#}8{#/blank#} sleep every day. Their life in the zoo {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) quite different from that in the forest because they are not free. Maybe they miss their mothers and their friends. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} fact, they feel lonely.

    John was a kind man. When he was young, he hoped {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(become) a singer. But he didn't have enough money {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (buy) books about music. And his parents didn't expect him {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) a singer. So his dream didn't come tree. At the age of fifteen, he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (leave) his village and found a job in a small town. He worked there for five years. Later his mother became very ill (生病的) and he had to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (stop) his work to come back and look after (照顾) her. Three years later his mother died and he wanted to leave his village again and  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (work) in other places. However, John couldn't. His father was ill. John decided{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stay) at home and look after him. Every day he {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (do) many things for his father. Day by day, John became old. But he still didn't forget his dream to be a singer. Now he has lots of time so he plans to learn to sing at a music school.

    It was a fine day last Sunday. John went to Tianlong supermarket to do some {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（shop）. Because it's a little far away from his home, he drove his car there. It was difficult for him to find a place {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（park） his car. At last he found one at the corner between two buildings. After parking his car he went into the supermarket to buy the things he needed. Twenty minutes later, he finished shopping and took the things {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（slow） back to the car park. Suddenly he found two young men trying hard to open the door of his car. They were both {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（wear） black clothes. John knew they were the car thieves. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}he was afraid and didn't know what to do. He thought {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a moment. Then he got {#blank#}7{#/blank#} idea. He went up to them and shouted loudly: "Can I help you? I think you lost your {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（key）. You can use {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（I）." "Can your keys open this door? Why?" "Yes, because it's my car." When the two men heard this, they ran away as {#blank#}10{#/blank#} as they could. In this way, he stopped the thieves from stealing his car. How clever John was!
