Bridges are built for many reasons. Some bridges are built so that cars{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (cross) over rivers. Others are made for trains to use . In Washington State, there is a very unusual bridge. It was built for squirrels(松鼠) 。

 The town of Longview has a very busy street. Many cars pass it every day. When squirrels tried to cross the street, they {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  (kill) . Amos Peters wanted {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (protect) these small and lovely animals, so he built a bridge for them——one that would let them pass above the traffic.

 The bridge {#blank#}4{#/blank#}    (be)  a symbol of the town for over 40 years since then. And every Christmas, the local people  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}   (add) a small Christmas tree to the center of the bridge .How lovely!　　

 A few years ago, the local people {#blank#}6{#/blank#}   (create) a squirrel festival and they raised money {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  (build)  two more bridges for these lovely animals. For years, because of the bridges . the squirrels in the town have been able to cross safely from one side of the street to the other.

       The Internet is wonderful. It{#blank#}1{#/blank#}  our life nicer, easier and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} interesting. The Internet can {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  us to do a lot of things. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  example, we can do some shopping without{#blank#}5{#/blank#} our house, we can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} on the Internet and we can use the Internet to find {#blank#}7{#/blank#} . When we want to visit a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  place, the Internet can help us find the way. On the Internet, we can also {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  many interesting songs, movies and games. But we{#blank#}10{#/blank#} spend too much time on the Internet.

Who Needs Money?

    The kids in my class are doing an experiment to show that we don't need to spend money to have {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (娱乐), so we aren't going to buy anything for a whole week! All the money we {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (节省) will go to charity. Keep reading to see how it goes!

Day 1:

    I went to a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (免费的) concert with Rachel this evening. We had a great time {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (直到……为止) it started raining! We had to walk home.

Day 2:

    The weather was still bad this morning, and my {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (电脑) didn't work. It needed to be fixed, but I knew it would {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (花费) money, so I asked Jake for help. He {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (设法) to fix it and I lent him some DVDs that he needed. We were both happy!

Day 3:

How can you get some new clothes without going {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (购物)? The answer — a Second-hand Clothes Party. Everyone's got things they don't wear any more, butthat someone else might like. My {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (朋友) and I had a great time trying things on at our party. We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (避免) waiting in line at the stores. I went home with lots of ‘new' clothes!

Day 4:

    The beach is a good place for a vacation. I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}my last summer vacation with my friends there. The weather was hot and {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. We went swimming in the sea (海洋）and  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} beach volleyball on the beach. When we {#blank#}4{#/blank#}tired, we lay(躺）on the beach and  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} many photos of the beach. Some of them are very beautiful. There is a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} near the beach. I spent one day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} it.

We {#blank#}10{#/blank#}had great fun on the beach. And we want to spend our next vacation there, too.
