If your birthday is coming，what presents will your parents buy for you? It is not easy for Chinese parents {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (choose)a birthday present for their children．Many American parents also have the same problem．But {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (luck)，they have got American Girl， — an American company．It is famous {#blank#}3{#/blank#} its beautiful girl dolls． {#blank#}4{#/blank#} there are many famous dolls in the world，dolls from American Girl are becoming one of the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (popular)birthday gifts for girls．

    What makes the doll from American Girls so popular among girls? The secret is her matching hair，skin，eye color，clothing and so on．That is to say，the dolls' hair，skin and eye color go very well with their clothes．And buyers can buy different  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (kind)of dolls．The company hopes their dolls can make girls udder—stand that it is OK to be different  {#blank#}7{#/blank#} others．

    The company gives each doll  {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (she) own name and special back— ground．They also invite writers to write books about the dolls．The stories in the books are mainly about different periods of American history． So while the girls {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (play)with their dolls，they can get a lot of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (funny)．What's more，they can learn something about history．
