What do people think of the computer?Let's listen{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Henry．

    My name is Henry and I work for a newspaper．Everyday I need to meet many people and ask them many{#blank#}2{#/blank#}．They are about different things in their lives，such as{#blank#}3{#/blank#}jams．Then I work on the computer and write down their ideas．These ideas are what people will{#blank#}4{#/blank#}in the newspaper．People are able to get a lot of{#blank#}5{#/blank#}from the newspaper．So，the computer is important to me.

    There was once a very special lion called Simba. Simba would play in this beautiful place, running and jumping with his friends, the leopards(豹)and other lions in the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Simba had a very special gift—every time he spoke loudly, he{#blank#}2{#/blank#}such a strong wind. And it seemed like a hurricane(飓风).

    On the land where Simba lived were lots of animals: giraffes, elephants, etc. And even though it wasn't a particularly{#blank#}3{#/blank#}place, there were lots of trees and animals. One day, as Simba was{#blank#}4{#/blank#}with his friends, they saw enormous machines destroying part of the plain by building oil wells.

    Day by day, the men built more and more oil wells, destroying the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}nature in the process. Simba had fewer and fewer friends to play with, and fewer{#blank#}6{#/blank#}to run on. Then a{#blank#}7{#/blank#}lion told him that the only way to stop the people using petrol (汽油)was to{#blank#}8{#/blank#}renewable energies. Such as the wind.

    So he decided to help people with one of the most{#blank#}9{#/blank#}renewable energies in the world: wind power. Then he went round all the countries in the world roaring(咆哮)with all his might to create a great wind. It would help men{#blank#}10{#/blank#}more renewable energy. In the end, Simba succeeded in getting people to stop using petrol, and his home became lively again.

Andy: Do you like your life in Grade 9, Paul?

Paul: Yes, I do. But I must {#blank#}1{#/blank#} very early every day. I don't want to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} school.

Andy: Really? Do you feel tired at school?

Paul: No. But I feel tired {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. We usually have too much homework.

Andy: No students like too much homework. Then when do you {#blank#}4{#/blank#}?

Paul: At ten o'clock.

Andy: Ten o'clock? Why don't you start to do your homework earlier (更早)?

Paul: Well, I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}for a walk first after dinner. And then I start to do my homework at 7:00.

    Once there was a teacher who took all of his students for tea. What made the student surprised was that all the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}on the table were different. Each of them took a cup and stalled drinking their own tea, looking at the others' cups.

    The teacher said, "Do you notice your behavior(行为)? You are all looking at each other's tea cups and some of you even envy(羡慕)the{#blank#}2{#/blank#}cups of others. "Then he{#blank#}3{#/blank#}on." I put the different cups here on purpose(故意地)!Life is like this tea. You all have the same thing in your cups—tea. And yet you can't{#blank#}4{#/blank#}enjoy it with your envy of another's cup. You forget{#blank#}5{#/blank#}your own life when you envy someone else's life. So now, taste your own tea! Does it matter from which cup it comes?"

A: Mary, nice to meet you. Could you tell us {#blank#}1{#/blank#} about yourself?

B: Certainly. I'm from Germany and I live in Guangzhou with my parents now.

A: What are your {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

B: I like singing and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} volleyball.

A: Do you have any friends in China?

B: Yes, I do. And all of them are very {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

A: What's your dream?

B: I'd like to travel all {#blank#}5{#/blank#} China with my parents.
