Each year, the news magazine Time For Kids selects several young people to serve as TFK kid reporters. These kids are not{#blank#}1{#/blank#} reporters, but they still have to interview some important people.

    Martin, who lives in New York, is a computer buff, plays the piano, and wants to be an airline pilot when he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. When he got the assignment from TFK to interview Andrew Hsu, he wanted to talk about science. After all, Andrew had just become the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} winner of the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair. The 11-year-old scientist {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the grand prize for identifying a particular genes that plays an important role in keeping the human body healthy.

    Martin soon discovered that being a science whiz is just one of Andrew's achievements. He's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}an athlete who competes in swimming. But the main thing Andrew wanted to tell Martin about was the World Children Organization (WCO). Andrew started this organization along with his brother Patrick. This project is meant to help improve the lives of children.

    Andrew and Patrick believe that{#blank#}6{#/blank#}education is the best way they can make a positive difference for children. They know that there are places where a {#blank#}7{#/blank#}education isn't available to kids. To help{#blank#}8{#/blank#}that need, Andrew and Patrick had the idea of producing videos about science, math, and languages for children in countries where there aren't enough qualified teachers.

    My friend Bob has a large police dog named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, Bob and Jack have a walk in the park. Jack likes these walks very much.

    One Sunday afternoon, I paid a visit to my friend. I stayed there for a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} time. My friend and I had much more talk with each other than ever before. Soon it was time for them to take a walk in the park. We{#blank#}2{#/blank#}that, so Jack became worried about it. He walked around the room several times and then sat down in front of me and looked at me. But I still paid{#blank#}3{#/blank#} attention (注意) to him. I went on talking with my friend. At last, Jack could not wait any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. He sat down in front of me again. But this time, he held my hat in his{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Soon I understood what Jack meant and so did my friend.

    Wonder why you get angry so easily {#blank#}1{#/blank#} your friend smiles all the time? It's probably because you two have different personalities.

    Personality is about {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people think, behave and react in different {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. So what makes people think behave and react in certain ways?

    Part of the reason is that people are {#blank#}4{#/blank#}like this A baby gets its blood type, genes, and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}physical things when it's still inside its mother. These things may help decide the baby will be like.

    But one's personality doesn't stop here. Family life, school learning and life {#blank#}6{#/blank#}can also make you the person you are. This doesn't {#blank#}7{#/blank#}it's impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Don't get too worried about your shortcomings. Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.

    For example, if you don't know how to make friends, find {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the reason Is it because you're too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using {#blank#}10{#/blank#}greetings.

    However it's not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Don't give yourself a hard time .Keep working at it .One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and to be a new you.

Lily: Ann, how do you feel about this dish?

Ann: It is very delicious.

Lily: Quite right. It was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} by a special cook.

Ann: He must be a famous and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} cook.

Lily: He is not a human being but a robot.

Ann: A robot cook? I can't {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it.

After a few {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a delicious dish is finished.

Ann: It sounds really easy and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.
