W: What do you like to do in your free time, John?

M: I'm {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in listening to music.

W: Oh, what kind of music do you like best?

M: Well, I like {#blank#}2{#/blank#}music that helps me relax after work. What about you? What do you usually do on your weekends?

W: I like watching movies. If you are free, would you like to watch a movie with me this weekend? The director is really famous.

M: Hmm,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} which movie. I only like movies that are funny. I just want to laugh and not think too much. You know what I mean?

W: Oh, in that case, I'll ask someone {#blank#}4{#/blank#} likes serious movies.

M: What's the movie about?

W: It's about {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the environment. I prefer movies that give me something to think about.

M: Sounds great! Have a nice weekend!

    Everyone has a true friend in his life. Mary Allen was my best friend—like the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.

    When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} occasions(场合)—like my wedding and Mary's. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we {#blank#}3{#/blank#} less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped ＂Address Unknown.＂ I had no idea how to find Mary.

    Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my {#blank#}4{#/blank#} when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.

    Last Friday night, the weather was really bad. It was raining heavily. I was {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. There would be a school trip to a country park the next day and I was afraid that the trip would be canceled (被取消) because of the bad {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. I went to bed early that night, hoping that it would be a nice day the next day.

    I woke up early the next morning. I looked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the window. The rain stopped! The sky was full of clouds. It was cloudy. I quickly {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the television for the weather report. The report said it wouldn't be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} on the weekend. Great!

    I went to school and everybody was excited that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} school trip was not canceled. When we arrived at the country park, we {#blank#}7{#/blank#} that the sun was shining. We played games and enjoyed our lunch there. However, we couldn't fly the kite {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it was not windy at all.

    At four o'clock, it was time to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Miss Black said it might become foggy (有雾的) soon and we might not be able to see {#blank#}10{#/blank#} clearly. So we picked up our things quickly and left.
