There is a telephone on my desk. It's my good friend. It helps me a lot. My telephone number is 8445816. Sometimes when I have something to talk about with my classmates. I don't need to go out. I call them. I write down many telephone numbers of my friends. My best friend John's number is 8459471. When I can't remember my homework, I ask him by telephone. There are some "Telephone Messages" beside my telephone. When I am out, my mother writes down the massages for me.

   Mrs Wilson, the middle-aged wife of a rich businessman, invited some of herfriends to lunch. She was very anxious to try a new way of cooking a fish dish,and she was very pleased with herself when the dish was ready. As the dish was very1, she put it near the open window to cool it for a few minutes.2,five minutes later, when she came back for it, she was frightened to find her neighbour'scat, Chester, at the dish. Luckily she was3to stop the cat from eatingthe fish. That afternoon was a great success and everyone enjoyed the dish verymuch.

   At the end of the afternoon, while she was4,Mrs Wilson felt tired but happy.

Have you seen any scarecrows (稻草人)? In the countryside of our country, some villagers like to set up some scarecrows in the fields in order to prevent birds from harming their crops. They think that this can play a role in driving away birds. In fact, not only farmers love to use scarecrows, but also some airports have installed scarecrows in such a developed technology today, which plays a very good role in driving away birds. Some people will say that birds are not fools, and they will come back to eat after a long time. So do the birds really feel scared? Can scarecrows really play a role in driving away birds? Not very — unless you're willing to put some extra(额外)effort into them.

While traditional scarecrows who couldn't move do work against "pest birds" (eg. crows and blackbirds), the effect is almost always temporary (暂时的). Over time, the birds get used to scarecrows who couldn't move and reuse their destructive (破坏性的)habits.

However, a few tricks can up your scarecrow's game. Researchers have learned that those with realistic facial features(特征)and brightly colored clothes are better at driving away birds. Also, moving a scarecrow around every few days often helps. According to several studies, flailing(大幅波动) scarecrows get the very best results.

Mother's Day first began in America. A mother was very kind. After she died, her daughter wanted to remember her so she wanted to make a day for all the mothers. In 1913, America decided to make the second Sunday of May to be Mother's Day and every family had to put up a national flag to show their love to mothers. Later, it became an important festival to remember and praise(赞扬) all the mothers in the world.

In China, some people want to make our own Mother's Day. There is a famous story about Mother Meng. She loved her son very much and did a lot for her son. Chinese people think she was a great mother, so people want to make lunar(阴历的) April 2nd to be the day. Because Mother Meng's son——Mengzi was born on that day.

On Mother's Day, children often help their mothers do some cleaning and they also buy gifts for their mothers. Some mothers even go for a trip and have some other activities to celebrate this day.

The Fisherman and the Goldfish is a well-known story. As we all know, the fisherman is a kind old man, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his wife is very greedy.

One day, the old fisherman {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a magical goldfish. In order to live, the fish promised to help to make his dreams come true. His greedy wife told the fisherman to ask for a new house at first, and then a castle. After that she asked to be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} queen of the ocean. The goldfish couldn't stand it. At last, the fisherman and his wife went back to the old house {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. 

We know that the fisherman is a kind but weak-willed person from this story. He listened to his wife all the time and never refused his wife. His wife {#blank#}5{#/blank#} got enough. It's not wrong to dream a good life, but you will get nothing if you are too greedy. That's why most greedy people are always poor.
