① Arat Montoya, 36, lives in West Linn, a city in the US. He is from a family of bakers. But he doesn't like making bread. When his father asked him to follow the family tradition, Montoya said,"I'm sorry, Dad. I love dogs." he said.

②Montoya spent a few years working at a dog club. After the club closed, Montoya started to offer(提 供) a doggie day care service(服务). He has a" Doggie School Bus" and he works as the driver. The bus runs five days a week and the service is $30 per(每一) dog each day.

③Montoya's service is pretty nice. Every morning at about 7 a. m., he drives the school bus to the owners'(主人) houses to pick up the dogs and takes them to" school"—a farm. The dogs are full of excitement because" go to school" means they can play all day. They can run around and play with each other at" school". When" school" finishes, Montoya takes the dogs back home. He also sends some videos and pictures to show the dogs'" school" life to the dogs' owners.

④ It shows that the doggie day care service is a great business(生意) idea. Montoya loves taking care of those dogs. And the dogs love going to" school". The most important is that the dogs' owners speak highly of Montoya and his business. All of them are happy about this doggie day care service.

⑤Now, more than 300 owners ask Montoya to take care of their dogs."I'm the happiest man in the world," Montoya said." Doing what I like truly makes me happy."

My name is Kelly. I'm from the UK. Look! This is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} classroom. It's very big and clean. After class, the boys and girls are talking happily

 But what are the school things {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ? They are a book, some notebooks, two {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and  a ruler. There is John's name on the maths book. So it must be his. And Sarah also {#blank#}4{#/blank#} her name on the blue notebook. It is hers. Lucy is happy to find her ruler. I think one of the two erasers is Tony' s. So I ask him, "Tony, is that your eraser?""Oh, yes, it's my eraser." Then, Tony takes away his eraser. What about the other eraser {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the orange notebook? Are these Lily' s?I want to ask Henry for help.
