David is an English school boy. His school is not far{#blank#}1{#/blank#} his home. He usually takes a bus to school. But he's often{#blank#}2{#/blank#} for school.
It's a fine day today. David gets up{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . He has breakfast, and then he{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to the bus station. He takes a bus at seven o'clock. His {#blank#}5{#/blank#} begin at half past seven. But today he is also late. Do you know why? Because he takes a wrong bus!

    Thanksgiving is an American festival. It is celebrated on the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Thursday in November. It is a time for a special dinner among family and friends. People make short {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and give thanks for their food.

    We have celebrated the festival since the first pioneers (先驱者) arrived in America in the 17th century. While they were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the Atlantic (大西洋), many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}than any English winter. The local people taught the pioneers how to grow corn. The next year they celebrated together by {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a dinner of the new food.

    We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} dinner. The main dish of this dinner is almost always turkey. We all help to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the food. We lay the table, and then before we begin dinner, my father gives thanks for the food. We often talk a lot and tell stories after dinner as well.

    During the festival, there are lots of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} things to see and do. We live in New York, and we go to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (游行). Thanksgiving is the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Football is also important at Thanksgiving. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy {#blank#}10{#/blank#} very much.

    In China, there are always many interesting stories about inventions. Chopsticks are one of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（important） inventions in Chinese history. Do you know the story behind the chopsticks? Let me tell you.

    According {#blank#}2{#/blank#}a famous story, Dayu, the Emperor of the Xia dynasty, was the person {#blank#}3{#/blank#}invented chopsticks. At that time there was a flood in China. Yu was very  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（worry） about his people and the flood. And he tried his best {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（find） some ways to control the flood.

    One day, he was having his lunch at home  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}someone came and told him that the flood was coming again. He stopped {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（eat） and set out at once. He was hungry and wanted to pick up some meals on the table to eat {#blank#}8{#/blank#}（quick）. But the food was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}hot to pick up with hands. Then he used two branches（树枝） from a tree to pick up the food. They were the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（one） pair of chopsticks.

    Many students aren't getting enough sleep at night, which means they end up feeling sleepy during class. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}during the day may be a solution.

    According to Forbes, a mid-afternoon nap can {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, increase your energy and help you study even better. But {#blank#}3{#/blank#}should a nap last? The proper time should be between 10 and 30 minutes, Peter Venn, a sleep expert said.

    Sleeping for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, such as five minutes or so, is not helpful. That's just not enough time to rest. But if you sleep for too long, you may {#blank#}5{#/blank#}feeling uncomfortable.
