Lucy wanted{#blank#}1{#/blank#} a present for her mother on Mother's Day. But she didn't have{#blank#}2{#/blank#} money. She was very{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . She thought and thought. She had an idea. She could make a present by herself. So she used a piece of paper to make a{#blank#}4{#/blank#} . On the front, she drew a beautiful picture of birds and{#blank#}5{#/blank#} . On the back , she{#blank#}6{#/blank#} , "To my dearest mummy in the world. Happy Mother's Day! "
On that day, Lucy gave{#blank#}7{#/blank#} the card. After she saw the card, a tear (眼泪){#blank#}8{#/blank#} down from her face. "Why are you{#blank#}9{#/blank#} ?" Lucy asked, "You don't like it, right?" "Of course not," she said, "I love it very much. I'm the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}mother in the world. I have such a great daughter. "

    Every day standing at my information desk, I have to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} lots of questions of the visitors coming from all over the world. People may ask {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the strange things sometimes, I'm often {#blank#}3{#/blank#} at the different questions that people ask.

    I am {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to give information about bus and subway routes(路线) in the city. Of course, visitors always have questions about the best ways of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to some interesting places. But quite often people are interested to know about museums, hospitals or {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . Once a man wants me {#blank#}7{#/blank#} care of his dog, and another {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a woman asked me to watch her seven {#blank#}9{#/blank#}!

    I love my job though I am always {#blank#}10{#/blank#} busy.

    She was a student at a secondary school. The school was across the street from my house. Every day， I w{#blank#}1{#/blank#} her play basketball after school from my house. She played very well，b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} than any one of her classmate. And she never stopped. She practised over and over again， sometimes u{#blank#}3{#/blank#} dark.

One day， I asked her， "Why do you practise so hard? You are playing very well."

"That's b{#blank#}4{#/blank#}．I want to play in the city basketball team，" She looked d{#blank#}5{#/blank#} into my eyes and said. "But I'm still not good enough. I must work hard." I was moved by her great c{#blank#}6{#/blank#}.

     Another day， I saw her crying on the grass，i{#blank#}7{#/blank#} of playing basketball. I walked across the street and sat down by her side.

"Why are you crying， girl?" I asked.

"The c{#blank#}8{#/blank#} of the city basketball team told me I couldn't go on playing basketball because I was too short."

     But some days later I saw her playing basketball again， practising e{#blank#}9{#/blank#} harder than before. I was curious and asked her the reason.

"My father told me if my d{#blank#}10{#/blank#}is big enough， nothing can stop me."

    I was moved again.

    I believe there are many things that we can do to make life in our town a lot better for teenagers.

    First of all, I think more bike lanes should {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (build). A lot of teenagers in my town bike everywhere, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it's very dangerous because there is a lot of traffic. If there are more bike lanes in the future, it will be much {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(safe) for us.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (two), I believe that we need more places for teenagers to go to. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my opinion, teenagers won't cause problems in the street if there are more places for us to go to. So we need more {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (club) and other places where we can meet.

    Thirdly, teenagers here need more sports facilities. There {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) places to play ball games so far like tennis and basketball, but what about other sports, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} skating and rollerblading?

    Finally, I'm sure we'll make the town better {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we don't drop litter. If we all do something {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(help) now, our town will be much better for everyone in the future.

    My name is Xiao Jun. I come from the countryside. Now I'm studying in a big city. People can eat all {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of foods and do lots of things. It's so convenient (便利的). Many people like living in the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. But I don't like it very much. In the city, the traffic is heavy and the cost of living is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. It's noisy, too.

    I miss the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} in the countryside. There {#blank#}5{#/blank#} many houses with big yards. The {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is fresh and the water is clean. We {#blank#}7{#/blank#} see green trees and colourful flowers here and there. More people like {#blank#}8{#/blank#} in the countryside now.
