Hey, friends! Have you ever heard {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my grandfather, Mr Sun? He is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to speak three languages: Chinese, English and French. My grandfather is a good{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . If there is something wrong with your teeth, you can go to see my grandfather. Last year my grandfather retired. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my city and went to the countryside. He built a small house and lived there {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . Well, I found my grandfather never felt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the countryside. In fact he had a great time. Every day many old people went to see him. When the{#blank#}7{#/blank#} was sunny and warm, they usually sat under the tree in front of his house. They talked {#blank#}8{#/blank#} watched his cat climbing the tree. And they {#blank#}9{#/blank#} his parrot sing in the tree. If you also visit his house in the countryside, you'll {#blank#}10{#/blank#} in love with it. Next weekend I'll go to see him.

    The birds had a hard time. They wanted a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}life but they couldn't.

    Pelican said, "People killed my friends. That makes me {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Robin said, "People cut down trees and made us lose our home. We must do something {#blank#}3{#/blank#} this."

    "Yes!  We should do something to protect {#blank#}4{#/blank#} We need a slingshot (弹弓)," said Parakeet.

    "But how can we get a slingshot?" asked Robin.

    "Squirrel would know {#blank#}5{#/blank#}“ said Parakeet.

    So the birds flew {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Squirrel. He had a slingshot. He got it from one of the bird poachers (偷猎者). When the birds arrived, they saw Squirrel {#blank#}7{#/blank#} using the slingshot.

    Squirrel was in the tree just above a poacher. "Zing!" Then the birds {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the poacher shout for help.

    "Now you know what we feel like!" shouted the birds.

    We all need exercise. Exercise uses up food that we eat and keeps the body full {#blank#}1{#/blank#} energy(能量). Exercise makes your heart and muscles(肌肉) strong. Exercise {#blank#}2{#/blank#} makes you feel relaxed. If you exercise several times a week, you will stay happy and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. There are many {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to exercise. You can walk, run or swim.

    However, most people cannot do this. It is too far from their homes to their offices. They have no choice {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to drive to work. First, these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day. Second,  driving is challenging(具有挑战性的), {#blank#}6{#/blank#}in rush hours, and needs too much attention.  It makes a person tired out. When these people arrive home after work, they don't want to take exercise.

    Some western countries, such as the United States, have problems with {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Many people don't have enough exercise. They have to work from morning till night, so they don't have time {#blank#}8{#/blank#} exercise.

    Today, many people in the West are fat, which causes health problems. Doctors say exercise can help people both lose {#blank#}9{#/blank#} and improve their health. So many people are trying to get more exercise. But it takes time to change, and when people don't see a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} right away, they will lose heart and stop exercising.
