Do you enjoy eat nuts? Have you ever tired Chinese torreya nuts(香榧)? Zhuji is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（广泛地） known for this special kind of nuts. Most of the Chinese torreya trees are grown in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（东部） of Zhuji. Every autumn, the nuts are picked by the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （当地的） people and then sent for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （加工）. Not everyone gets the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（秘诀）of frying(炒制) the nuts. Only the experienced workers can make it. People in Zhuji take {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（骄傲）in the Chinese torreya nuts, and the nuts are usually {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（放置）out to treat {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( 亲属 ) and friends. Nowadays, more and more people fall in love with the nuts. And it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (创造) good business for Zhuji. What a great {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（影响）the Chinese torreya nuts have on Zhuji!

And my favourite city is Hangzhou. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} October 1st last year, I went to Hangzhou {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (visit) my friends. I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(feel) very happy when I saw them. The weather was great. The sun {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (shine)   all the time but it was not hot. After lunch, we went out and bought {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (lot) of nice things in the stores. We went to one of{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (beautiful) places— West Lake and boated in the lake. How relaxing and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (excite)! We really enjoyed {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (we).

    Long long ago，there was a small village in the Middle East．In the village there was an old man{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Sam．He lived by himself．His only son had gone far away to study．Sam's friends {#blank#}2{#/blank#}whether his son would return，{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Sam always said，"Whatever happens，happens for good．"

    One day the old man's son returned and the villagers were very happy for Sam．He {#blank#}4{#/blank#}the villagers and said politely，"Whatever happens，happens for good．"However，later，Sam's son broke his {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Once again the villagers came to visit him and once again the old man thanked{#blank#}6{#/blank#}and said，"Whatever happens，happens for good．"Some of the villagers were {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to hear this．Why？What was good？His son's leg got badly hurt!

    After a few days，the army came to the village and forced all the young men to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the army．When they found his son had a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （break） leg，they left him behind．Once again，all the villagers came to congratulate him on his {#blank#}10{#/blank#} luck，like always，the old man was still thankful to them and said，"Whatever happens，happens for good．"

    What is the highest mountain on earth? Most of us think the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}is Mount Qomolangma. But there is something that is three hundred and four {#blank#}2{#/blank#}taller than Mount Qomolangma. However, it is mainly underwater. It begins at the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of the Pacific Ocean. Its {#blank#}4{#/blank#}is Manna Loa. In the Hawaiian language, Mauna Loa{#blank#}5{#/blank#}"Long Mountain". It is the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}and most active volcano(火山)on earth．It has produced liquid (液体的)rock more than thirty{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Liquid rock is also called lava(熔岩). Today, Mauna Loa is{#blank#}8{#/blank#}. It doesn't produce lava．However, volcano expels say it is only a matter of time before this happens once again.

Dear expert,

    I'm sorry to tell you that I have too many {#blank#}1{#/blank#}at home. I must {#blank#}2{#/blank#}up early in the morning and make the bed. I am not allowed to go {#blank#}3{#/blank#}at eight on weekends. Also, I have to go to after-school classes .Can you tell me {#blank#}4{#/blank#}to do? Could you give me some {#blank#}5{#/blank#}?

Yours,
