Everyone has a childhood and childhood experiences are often very{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(interest).Children often make us laugh.

    I often remember my childhood,the years{#blank#}2{#/blank#}many funny things happened.When I was two-year-old child,both my parents were always very busy{#blank#}3{#/blank#}their work.My mother worked as{#blank#}4{#/blank#}sales manager in a company while my father served in the army.So I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(live) with my grandma in a village.I was always waiting for my parents at home. Once my father sent{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(we) a photo of his in soldier's uniform,which{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(post) on the table reminding me of him.

    Once my mother came to see me and we were{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(go) to the downtown together.On the way we saw a group of{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(soldier).And when I saw them,I became very excited.I shouted in a loud voice,"This is my father,that one is my father,and he is my father,too..."

    {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hear) this,my mother laughed and said she would remember that moment all her life.

    What on earth does happiness mean? I can't give you its exact definition, but I'm sure if you love and help others, you'll get it.

    I'll never forget {#blank#}1{#/blank#}old lady. She lives in a small house alone. It is said that her husband and her son died in a road accident years ago. Her life is bitter, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} she often helps others with a smile. Whenever{#blank#}3{#/blank#} snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (live) nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of{#blank#}5{#/blank#} （laugh）and love.

    But I'm sad to see some people getting their happiness {#blank#}6{#/blank#}bad ways. They talk {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（noisy）in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy themselves and they laugh at others' shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at that time, but they will never get true happiness because they {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（lose）their personality already.

    Now I know {#blank#}9{#/blank#} happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness. Above all, I have come to understand that bringing happiness to others {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) getting ourselves happiness.

    Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult{#blank#}1{#/blank#}was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that this year she could{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(easy) buy a special one {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(please) him, just like her mother, who was always delighted to receive her gift.

    Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not {#blank#}4{#/blank#}pleasant experience: people stepped on your feet or {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(push) you with their elbows (肘部)，hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.

    Jane paused in front of a counter {#blank#}6{#/blank#}some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her.“ Worth double the price. ” But Jane knew from past experience that her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(choose) of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

    Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes on sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoked a pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

    When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already {#blank#}9{#/blank#}table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(inform).
