Helen: Hi, Peter. I think I've made Alice {#blank#}1{#/blank#} and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Peter: What {#blank#}2{#/blank#}?

Helen:You know Ann is Alice's best friend, right?

Peter: Uh-huh.

Helen: Well, the more I got to know Ann, the more I realized that we have a lot in common, so we've been spending more time together {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

Peter:But what's wrong with that?

Helen:Umm...it makes Alice unhappy because she {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Ann is now better friends with me than with her.

Peter: I see. Mmm...why don't you ask Alice to join you each time you do something with Ann? Then she won't feel left out.

Helen: Oh, good idea! That can make our {#blank#}5{#/blank#} stronger.

    Hi, friends! Do your parents {#blank#}1{#/blank#}you to travel? Greg's dream was to travel around Asia．He got the idea after he finished a long bike {#blank#}2{#/blank#}．

     At first，he {#blank#}3{#/blank#}his parents wouldn't agree to let him go．He didn't tell his parents his idea．He {#blank#}4{#/blank#}told his friend Brooks about it．Brooks also liked riding a bike．They made a plan—to travel from Tokyo to Mumbai(孟买)by bike．

    To pay for the trip，Greg and Brooks tried to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}some money．Before setting out(出发)，they told their parents about their plan．It was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} that their parents agreed．And they got two new {#blank#}7{#/blank#}from their parents．

    On their way, they saw deserts．rainforests and mountains．They visited modem cities and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}villages．And they made many friends．They also learned two new languages一 {#blank#}9{#/blank#}and Japanese．
