— Two days ago.

    Hi, everyone. This is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(I)friend Jim.He is an{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (America) boy.He is in Class 3{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (连词)it is Miss Smith's class.Miss Smith is from a small{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (city) and she is{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(冠词)English teacher.

    There{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be)two photos on Jim's desk. Jim and his dog are{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (介词)them. The dog is black.{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they)are good friends. The weather{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be)hot today. It's time for them to go{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(swim).

    Now more and more Chinese teenagers find life more difficult without their parents. They don't know how {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) housework {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their parents almost do everything at home. That is a big problem.

    Joy is a fourteen-year-old girl. One day, her parents went away on a trip, so she was alone at home. At first she {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(think) she would be happy because her parents were not in. She could do what she liked. But when it was six o'clock in the afternoon, she felt {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(hunger)."Oh, it's time {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(have) dinner. Where can I get my dinner?" she said to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(she). Later she found some meat and vegetables in the fridge, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} she didn't know how to cook them. At that moment, she missed her parents very much. At last she could only go to the supermarket to buy some food to eat.

    Many teenagers have {#blank#}8{#/blank#} same problem. So I think they should learn some life skills, like {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(cook), tidying up their rooms or dressing themselves. They shouldn't depend {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their parents too much.

    There was a small village by the sea in America. Every summer lots of people came here {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(spend) their holidays. But a few of them came here only to end their lives. Two months ago right here a young woman jumped into the sea in the darkness of the night. From then on, the people in the village began to pay more attention {#blank#}2{#/blank#}each of the visitors. If someone looked {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(happy) or worried, they would watch him all day long with care. They would never let the same thing happen again.

    A week {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(late) came several visitors. Among them there was a young woman. One day she looked different {#blank#}5{#/blank#}others. She went out alone at night. A villager found her. The villager made no noise and followed her. When the young woman {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(walk) to the beach, the villager rushed at(冲向) her and tried hard {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(pull) her back. "Let me go. Don't pull me!" cried the young woman, "I was playing on the beach this afternoon. Now I can't find the key to my suitcase. I think it must be left here." "But {#blank#}8{#/blank#}don't you look for it tomorrow morning?" said the villager. "Tomorrow morning I'll leave here and catch the early bus to New York. I must leave {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the day breaks(破晓) ." When the villager heard that, he had a good laugh and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(help) her look for the key in the moonlight.
