    One day, the old woman is badly ill in bed, but she doesn't forget her pictures. She says to his grandson, Hand, “②I want to give my pictures to a school, then the students will remember me__But which school do you think is the best, my dear?”

Luckily she was3to stop the cat from eatingthe fish. That afternoon was a great success and everyone enjoyed the dish verymuch.

She was in an armchair just near the window, whenthrough the window she was surprised to see the neighbour's cat5inthe garden. Why, the fish dish must be poisonous (有毒的).

I often {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (read, reads) picture hooks on the bench. In autumn, the leaves turned yellow and red. I often {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (take, took) a walk with my parents.

A: Hello! Kitty. It's sunny today. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}? 

B: I'm studying for a test. What about you? 

A: I'm listening to music, but it's boring. I want to go to the Xinyang Zoo. 

B: {#blank#}2{#/blank#}? 

A: Because the Xinyang Zoo is a very interesting place. Do you want to go with me? 

B: Sounds great! {#blank#}3{#/blank#}? 

A: Let's ride a bike. It's a good for us. 

B: {#blank#}4{#/blank#}?

A: It takes us about fifteen minutes. 

B: Well, Let's meet at 8: 00 at my home, OK? 

A: I'm sorry. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

B: Me, too. And I have to do sports every morning. 

A: We do have too many rules! What about 9: 30? 

B: OK. 

Years ago， I used to smoke after lunch or dinner. When I visited my brother，I would smoke1 and make sure that my niece(侄女) wouldn't see me2 I knew that she always did everything I did. I didn't want her to think smoking was right. However, when I went to the study room to smoke, she would3 me and watch me smoke from behind the door. 

Most of my family didn't know I was a 4 . A few months later, when we were at a family party, my niece looked at me and said, "I love you, aunt. I just want you to know that smoking will make you5 and die quickly. And you keep6 in the study room, thinking I wouldn't see you. So7 you know it is wrong since you are hiding it. ''

I didn't say a word. My face turned red. "What?" they shouted. Everyone was 8 when they heard that. Her mother looked at her and said, "No, your aunt doesn't smoke. You must have made a9 " . The girl answered, " Why are you trying to make me lie? That's worse than smoking. " 10 fell into silence. Soon after that , I gave up smoking and I hoped my niece wouldn't remember. I didn't want to leave a bad impression(印象) on her. 

I should say "Thank you" to my niece. When one of our family members offers an advice out of love and support (支持)is usually good idea to pay attention.
