All our dreams have something to do with (与…有关) our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the "outside" may have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} influence on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we dream. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a person is hungry or tired or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. If the blanket on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} body has slipped off (滑落) your bed, you may dream that you are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} or resting on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is probably to come {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the experiences you have today.

So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an influence on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why very young children are likely to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of fairies (仙女) , older {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of school examinations,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}people of food, homesick (思乡的) soldiers of their families and prisoners (囚犯) of freedom.

Dear sister,

I've been happy here in New York. But when holidays are coming near, I really feel "There's no place like home", just like the English proverb says, "East, west, home is the b{#blank#}1{#/blank#}."

You must be doing well in English class. The letter you sent to me was written in good English.

Well, I want to i{#blank#}2{#/blank#} my friend Diana to our home. I dare not tell Mama directly. If Dad and Mum say that will be all right, please write to me as soon as possible.

Diana is a poor girl whose parents died last month in a terrible accident. She has to spend the holidays alone. She wants to see China and try e{#blank#}3{#/blank#} that we Chinese do. She p{#blank#}4{#/blank#} speaking Chinese for two years and can speak a little now. She has great curiosity about our family life and will ask you many questions about it. Isn't it a good chance to u{#blank#}5{#/blank#} each other? I'm sure you'll learn many things from her.

Please give my love to our father and mother!

Your sister,

Mei

Hi, my name is Alice. Nice {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (meet) you! Here {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) two nice photos of my family. My grandparents are in the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (one) photo. And you can {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (see) my parents in it. My father is {#blank#}5{#/blank#} English teacher in a middle school, and my mother is a teacher, too. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} are in the next photo? They are my {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (sister), Cindy and Amy. This {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (be) my brother. His nameˈs Eric. 

Do you know{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (this) two boys? Oh, they are {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (I) cousins, Bob and David. I love my family very much

Mary and Lisa are sisters. They like the same colour— blue. They like the same sports— swimming and basketball. They go to the same middle school. But they aren't in the same class. They like music and art. Art is their favourite subject. 

But Mary and Lisa have a big difference (不同之处) . Mary has many friends. They like to play with her. But Lisa doesn't have any friends. Their mum sees the difference. She says to Lisa, "My dear, your smile (微笑) is very beautiful. Why not smile often?" Lisa says OK and she tries smiling often. Children come to Lisa. They like her smile. They want to make friends with her. Now Lisa has many friends. She is very happy.
