Hello, I'm Martin. My birthday is coming. And I⑴_______ (have) a party at my house this Sunday. I really want some of my friends to come to my birthday party, but it's not easy to find my house. I write something to them and tell them how⑵______ (find) my house.

    Go along Guangming Street and don't turn left or right. Just walk straight for about ten minutes and you can see a bus stop on your right. ⑶You can take the No.5 bus and get off at the third stop. Then you are on Happy Street. Walk along the street and you'll see a bank at the corner of the street. ⑷ 我家就在银行旁边。

    An 11-year-old blind girl is proud of walking alone every day to and from school. Why? She has to walk past so many barriers (障碍物) in her way. The girl's home is near the school, yet her mother follows her without letting her know.

    The case of the girl shows the barrier-free facilities (设施) are not enough in her city. Many other cities are short of barrier-free facilities as well. There's no well-designed path for the blind. In fact, in the early 2000s, some cities started to build barrier-free facilities for disabled people. However, almost 20 years later, only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality.

    It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers. Few workers are sent to move them away, so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them. Also, some other barrier-free facilities are badly destroyed（毁坏）. Only a few workers are assigned (分配) to do the task of repairing the broken ones.

    Some ideas can make a difference-build more barrier-free facilities and employ more of them require money. In a word, more money is needed to carry on with the work. It's our duty to make life easy for disabled people, so that they can live without barriers some day.

Dear Lisa,

    I'm going to have a party on September 27. It's my 12th birthday. I would like to enjoy this day with my family members and friends together.

    I will be very happy if you can come to join us. You are always my best friend. Your sister Jenny is welcome too. She is a nice girl. I like her. Because it's a princess—theme (公主主题的) party, please wear your beautiful clothes and shoes.

    There is a lot of fun at the party. My mum wants to cook a lot of Chinese food for us. Because September 27, 2015 is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, my grandma says she can make some moon cakes. You never eat them, right? They are delicious. There are also film DVDs and fun games for us. I'm sure all of us can have great fun on that day.

    The party is in my house, and it starts at 3:00 p.m. Can you come? Tell me please.

Yours,

Emma

    Good morning, boys and girls! {#blank#}1{#/blank#} A baseball, a schoolbag and a school ID card are in it. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, but you can't see the last name. It is blue. And the schoolbag is black. Some English books, a pencil box, a watch and a tape player are in it. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The watch is red and the tape player is black. What about the school ID card? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} and the card number is B-765. There is not the telephone number on it. I don't know how to contact (联系) you. Are these things yours? If they are, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}You can also call me at 779-8846, too.

Mr. and Mrs. Albino, with 64 children, have the world's largest family. Not one of their children is adopted(领养).

When people hear about the Albinos' large family, the first question they ask is, "How is it possible? How can one woman give birth to 64 children in her lifetime?" The answer is simple: {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Soon after the Albinos got married, the children came quickly, in twos and threes. The first 21 children were boys. Mrs. Albino loved her sons, but she wanted a daughter very much.

The Albinos spent the early years in Argentina. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} To travel from Argentina to Chile, they had to cross the Andes Mountains. Mr. and Mrs. Albino and their 21 sons made the difficult, two-week journey on mules. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

During the snowstorm, Mrs. Albino gave birth to triplets, a boy and two girls!

The oldest Albino children are in their thirties and forties. They are on their own now, but 18 of the Albino children still live with their parents. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} The shack has electricity but no toilet or running water. The children wash in a small bowl in the dusty backyard.

At times there is very little food in the Albinos' small house when there is not enough food for everyone, Mrs. Albino makes sure the youngest children do not go hungry. "The smallest eat first, and then the bigger ones. We've always done it that way," she says. Obviously, the Albinos do not have enough money for their big family, then, do they continue to have children?

The Albinos do not use birth control because it is against their religion(宗教). They could let other people take care of their children, but Mrs. Albino will not allow it, "When my two brothers and I were babies," she says, "our mother left us at an orphanage(孤儿院) and never returned. We lived there together until we were five. Then a couple adopted my brothers and I was left behind. I was heartbroken.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Even if I didn't have much money, I would always take care of my children by myself." Mrs. Albino has kept her promise.
