Although half a century has passed, Shao Guohua never forgot the film ticket his teacher gave him that warmed his heart when he was a boy. Shao entered a primary school in Zigong, SichuanProvince, in 1960. Back then, sports and watching movies were the students' favorite times.

Once, the school organized a trip to the movies for the students, and many of Shao's classmates signed up（报名）for it. But the boy had no money to buy 0. 05-yuan ticket. When his classmates lined up to enter the movie theater, the boy stood alone outside. Then Shao's Chinese teacher Mo Xunru saw him and bought a ticket for him.He can't remember what movie it was, but Shao never stopped being thankful to his teacher.

"Ms. Mo made twenty or thirty yuan a month back then, so a 0.05-yuan ticket may not be a big deal for her. But for me, it moved me deeply," said 63-year-old Shao.

After graduating( 毕 业 ) from primary school, Shao moved to another city along with his parents. In the following years, he tried to find his former（以前的）teachers and classmates, but failed. It wasn't until this year that Shao Guohua visited his teacher, Mo Xunru after 50 years." The reunion ( 重 聚 ) was emotional, " said Shao, who is over sixty himself now. " The 89-year-old Mo did not hear well anymore and seemed to not know me at first sight, but she was still as kind as she used to be." Shao left 1, 000 yuan to his teacher as well as a letter which reads:

"Dear Ms. Mo, wish you good health. Your student: Shao Guohua."

Mrs. Baylor has a pet parrot. The bird is smart and it's learning (学习) to talk these days.

This morning, Mrs Baylor goes shopping and leaves (留) the parrot at home. There is something wrong with her sink (水槽) and Mrs. Baylor forgets a plumber(水管工) will come to fix it.

KNOCK(敲门声) KNOCK "Who is it? " the parrot calls.

"It's the plumber." the man says. He waits, but no one comes to the door. 

KNOCK KNOCK "Who is it? " the parrot calls.

"It's the plumber!" the man says. But still, no one opens the door.

KNOCK KNOCK "Who is it? " the parrot calls.

The man lets out a shout (吼叫), "IT'S THE PLUMBER! " This time, he shouts so loud that he loses his breath (呼吸)and falls down (倒下).

Just then, Mrs. Baylor comes back and she just finds a man on the ground.

"Oh, my dear!" she says, "Who is this?" And the parrot shouts, "IT'S THE PLUMBER!" 

Hello! I am Dale. This {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) my bedroom. You can see a key, a map, a jacket, two {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (cup) and a quilt in it. What's this {#blank#}3{#/blank#} English? It's a key. It's black. I use it in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} morning and in the evening. What's that in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (England)? It's a blue map. That is a jacket. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} color is it? It's brown and white. It isn't {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (I) jacket. It's my friend Lisa's. Brown and white are her favorite {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (color). This is my cup. It's white. What's that on the quilt? It's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (a) orange. My friend, Eric gives it to me. Oh, you can also {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (see) another(另一个) white cup in the bedroom. It's my sister Lucy's.

I used to spend my free time doing boring things. For example, I enjoyed playing with my phone, using the Internet and watching TV. Even worse, I played and played u{#blank#}1{#/blank#} it was very late at night. At last, I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(意识到) it was not good for me. So this summer, I decided to go through a whole holiday without my phone or the Internet. And I went to my grandparents' home in the countryside.

 As soon as I arrived at my grandparents' home, I felt great. How a{#blank#}3{#/blank#}! How lovely and peaceful the village was! The {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(小溪) was clean. All kinds of plants were more beautiful than you could imagine. The following three days, I did {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (无论什么) I could to help my grandparents. I helped them harvest (收割) corns, feed the chickens and milk the cow. On the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(第四) day,I made some new friends there. We went fishing, and rode bicycles everywhere. Sometimes when I woke up at {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (午夜),I could even hear frogs. We really enjoyed o{#blank#}8{#/blank#} and had fun running after each other every day. T{#blank#}9{#/blank#} there was no phone or the Internet in the countryside, I felt so happy.

 Happy time is always short, especially for children. Soon my holiday was o{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. I had to leave the village and go back to the city. I really didn't feel like leaving. I believe the memory will stay in my mind for a long time.

Dear Sara, 

I'm writing to say sorry to you. 

Next week is your birthday. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that I could come to your party. But I need to take part in an important tennis match that day. I have practised a lot in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of winning the match, so I can't go to your birthday party. But I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to give you a gift in person. Would you like to have dinner with me this Sunday?

Best {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to you!

Yours, 

Daniel
