Dear Auntie Em,

     Great news! Mrs Mumford just told me I had been chosen as one of the school {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (student) to visit the University of Cape Town in South Africa this summer! She said the program {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (design) for some of the brighter teenagers to experience a different culture. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a good chance!

     The only problem is: mom and dad {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (simple) won't let me go. They said it was dangerous for me, a girl, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (travel) alone. But my guess is that they think it too expensive. I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (keep) telling them I had been on a plane on my own before. They needn't worry about {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (I) because this trio would be almost the same as that time when I had visited you in Texas. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}，they just won't listen!

     Will you help, Auntie Em? It will be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} very important experience to my personal growth.

Love, (and love you even {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (much) if you manage to make mom & dad agree with me.

Returning a father's love

    Smith was a single father, raising a 4-year-old boy by himself. He was often worried about his son, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was growing up without a mother to care for him.

    One day, he went away {#blank#}2{#/blank#} business, leaving the child alone. He worried about the child all the way, not knowing {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he had eaten. But his child always told him not to worry. He went home after he finished his work.

    When he got home, the child was deep asleep. He was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ( tire ) out. He was about to sleep when he was surprised to find an overturned bowl of noodles under the quilt. He hit his {#blank#}5{#/blank#} ( sleep ) son angrily,” Why are you so {#blank#}6{#/blank#} ( care ), making the quilt dirty? Who will wash it?” It was the first time that he had hit his boy after his wife's death.

   “Sorry, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ....” the child explained with tears in his eyes, “This is your supper, Daddy.” In order to let his father eat dinner the moment he got home, the child prepared two {#blank#}8{#/blank#} ( bowl ) of noodles : one for {#blank#}9{#/blank#} ( he ), the other for his father. He was afraid that his father's noodles would get cold, so he placed them under the quilt. Hearing this, the father {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hug ) his boy tightly without saying a word.
