Children sometimes get sick(生病) and need to go to hospital. Some of them have to stay there for a few {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (day). It is not good for {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (they) to think about their sickness all day long. They need some other things to think about, so people ask animals {#blank#}3{#/blank#} help. In some places, workers from zoos often take animals {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (visit) children in hospital. They may bring a little dog or a cute monkey with them. Children are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (exciting) to see them.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} some children cannot get close to the animals. The animals may make their sickness get even {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bad). How can we help {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (that) children? The hospitals get another good idea. They work with zoos to make movies. The movies are all about {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (love) animals. Children in hospital can watch these movies and learn the animals' living habits. A man {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (call) Denny Sanford made a TV network (网络 )to show these movies. It is used in many hospitals in the US today.

    Some people still live in their hometown. However, others may only visit {#blank#}1{#/blank#} once or twice a year. Millions of Chinese leave the countryside {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (search) for work in the cities. Among these is Hua Xing. He {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live) in Wenzhou for the last 13 years. With a hard job {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a factory, he seldom visits his hometown. "I haven't been back for three years. It's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (shame)," he says.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (develop) have been good in Hua Xing's hometown since 2002, for example, new roads {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (appear). A new school {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (build). However, some things will never change in his hometown. The big old tree is still beside the playground. Children in his time {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (usual) liked to play together under it. It was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} happy childhood.
