Come and meet my family. This is a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}of my family. I'm Frank. And I{#blank#}2{#/blank#}twelve. I'm a student of No. 11 Middle School.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}is my father.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}name is Eric Brown. He{#blank#}5{#/blank#}a teacher in my school. He teaches English. And this is my{#blank#}6{#/blank#}She is a teacher, too. Who is the{#blank#}7{#/blank#}near(在旁边）my father? Oh，she is my sister. My grandparents are not{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the photo{#blank#}9{#/blank#}are not in China. I have a happy family and I love my{#blank#}10{#/blank#}very much.

—I don't know. You can ask our teacher.

    In America, when people say "man's best friend", they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a lovely animal--dog!

These words show the friendship {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people and animals. Dogs and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (others) pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets {#blank#}4{#/blank#}they die!

    Animals can help people too. Dogs can {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (teach) to be the "eyes" of a blind person or the "ears" of a deaf person. Scientists have found {#blank#}6{#/blank#}pets help people live longer! They make people {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(happy) too.

    Americans hold "Be Kind to Animals Week" in the first week of May.  Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you can do this too. How? First, think about how animals make your tile richer. If you have a pet, spend more time this week playing with it. Remember {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (give) it delicious food.

    If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(friend) with it. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals that can't speak for {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they).

—Thanks. Tom hasn't come yet, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (wait) for him.

    In a small house outside London lives an old man. People often see him look {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his flowers in his garden all the time.

    One day, a young painter {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (go) by the old man's house. He looked at the nice garden and the special room, picturing how happy he would be if he lived in such a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (beauty) place. Suddenly he found the old gardener {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (terrible) blind. Shocked, he walked to the old man and asked, "Why are you taking care of the flowers every day which you can't see in fact?" The old man smiled, "I can tell you four reasons. First, I was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} gardener when I was young and I really love this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last, it's you."

    "Me? But you don't know me," answered the painter, still puzzled.

"Yeah, it's true that I don't know you. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I know flowers are gifts which everyone loves. And the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good mood," answered the old man,

    The words of the gardener warm me with {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (please). He looked after the flowers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (make) others enjoy the warm sunshine in spring. He can't see the beautiful flowers he planted, just like Beethoven, who can't hear his wonderful music {#blank#}9{#/blank#} The old man is alone but not lonely. All of his flowers are his friends and neighbours. They {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (grow) in his heart. I believe that he can hear the voice of them.
