Denny was a photographer. He travelled around and always did anything he could to take a good photo even if it was 1. He had photos of earthquakes, forest fires and even wars.

    His wife wanted to go with him, 2 he refused. "I travel for my work, not for 3 . I won't have time to look after you. Sometimes there's even nowhere to 4, and I don't often have a good meal or a bath for days. You won't enjoy yourself."

    "I can look after myself. Please take me with you." His wife begged.

    Denny finally 5. When he was asked to go to Africa, he said to his wife, "You can go to Africa with me if you like. I'll take photos of wild 6 there. It should be interesting and not too 7."

    His wife had an enjoyable time at first. Then Denny went to 8 some lions to photo. His wife went with him, but soon she got lost. Suddenly, Denny heard her crying. He ran back and saw a 9 running after her. Quickly Denny took his camera out and pointed it at his wife and the lion. Then he shouted, "10, woman! I can't get you both in the picture!"

    Whenever my child caused me to change my schedule, I thought to myself, "We don't have time for this." Therefore, the two words I most commonly spoke to my child were: "Hurry up". But my promise to 1 was made almost three years ago, and I began my journey to grasp what 2 in life.

    My younger daughter is my living reminder of why I must keep trying to slow down.

    The two of us had taken a bike ride to the 3. After buying an ice cream for my daughter, she sat down at a table 4 admiring it she held in her hand. Suddenly a look of worry came across her face. "Do I have to rush, Mama?"

    I could have 5. Perhaps the pains of a 6 life don't ever completely disappear, I thought sadly. As my child looked up at me waiting to know 7 she could take her time, I knew I had a choice. I could sit there in sorrow thinking about the number of times when I rushed my child through life…or I could 8 the fact that today I'm trying to do things 9. I chose to live in today.

    "You don't have to rush," I said 10. Her whole face immediately brightened and her shoulders relaxed. And so we sat side-by-side talking. There were even moments when we sat in 11  just smiling at each other.

    When she got to the last bite, she held out a spoonful of ice crystals and sweet juice for me. "I 12 the last bite for you, Mama," my daughter said 13. I realized I just got the deal of a lifetime. I gave my child a little time… and 14, she gave me her last bite and reminded me that things taste sweeter and love comes 15 when you stop rushing through life.

Students should like vacations. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} last week, I asked some students what they did last summer vacation. Their answers surprised me a lot. Some said they just {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stay) at home and played computer games all day. Some said they had many classes in summer school. And many students even said their vacation was {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(real) boring. The summer vacation this year is coming soon. Do you want to have a better one? Here {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) some tips(小建议) for you.

It was half past five in the evening when Sarah came home from work. She walked into the living room and looked after three children. The children were fourteen, thirteen and 'nine years old. They were watching TV. The room was dirty and untidy. There were empty glasses and dirty clothes on the floor. There were cakes on the sofa. Toys were everywhere. 

Sarah got angry. "How dirty and untidy this place is!" she said to her children. "I can't work all day and then do housework all evening. I'm not doing the housework!" And so, Sarah didn't do the housework. She didn't clean. She didn't do 'the dishes. She didn't wash the clothes. Every evening she sat in the sofa and watched TV. 

Two weeks later, every dish in the house was dirty. All the children's clothes were dirty, too. Every trash can,（垃圾桶）was full. The whole house was dirty and untidy. 

Then one day Sarah got very surprised when she came home from work. The kitchen was clean. The children cleaned the kitchen! The next day, the living room was clean, and the children were washing their clothes. Sarah told the children. "OK, III do housework again. But you must help me."

Now Sarah and the three children do the housework together. Then they all sit in the sofa and watch TV.
