Most American businesses are open five days a week. American school children attend school five days a week as well. American families {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (usual) have a two-day weekend. The weekend is Saturday {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Sunday.

    Over the weekend, people spend their time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (do) various things. Many families enjoy weekend together. They may go shopping, go for a drive, or visit friends. They may also send {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (invite) friends and have a party at home. Weekends are also good chances to take trips, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} are usually short ones. They will go to the nearby mountains, parks, lakes or other {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (interest）places to relax them. Some even go camping and picnicking there.

    Many families participate {#blank#}7{#/blank#} sports during the weekend. Running, biking, playing volleyball and swimming are popular in the summer. Skiing and skating are the favorite winter {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sport).

    Weekends are also a time for American families {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (work) on something in their yards or on their houses. Many families plant flowers and have vegetable gardens. So weekends {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (use) to paint or repair their houses. For most Americans, weekends are very busy.

    We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (correct) and wisely{#blank#}2{#/blank#}, some of us are upset{#blank#}3{#/blank#} our body styles and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all. We needn't care about it. It is one's inner beauty {#blank#}4{#/blank#} matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (face) with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (remove) the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. Third, we may fall behind others{#blank#}7{#/blank#} makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to work efficiently, full of{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (determine). At last, some of us don't have much pocket money, so we feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some, that's enough. And we can learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to spend money.

    When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} forgiveness is possible-and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. So far, research has shown that people who forgive can have more energy and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(good) sleep.

    So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(breath) and think of something that {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(give) you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don't wait for {#blank#}5{#/blank#} apology. “Many times the person who hurts you may never think of {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(apologize),” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} wrote the book Forgive for Good. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(say) sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.” Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(necessary) mean accepting the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love,{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(beautiful) and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person's position. You may realize that he or she was acting out of carelessness.
