Lisa is serious about the chores in her house. She gives her children things that they 1 . do according to their age. She started by asking John, the2 of her two sons, to help with the dishes. It is now an easy cho re3 . the 15-year-old. His13-year-old brother, Dave, now4 John, too. They take turns (轮流) washing the5 each week. The boys also clean their study tables, make their beds and6 food from the market on Sunday mornings. Besides(除了) these, the boys also know how to cook easy meals 7 their parents are not at home.

The family of 8 live in a big house but they do all the housework themselves.

Lisa says," When I was young, my father wanted us to do things on our own(独立地)and learn how to9 ourselves. Now I'm doing it to my kids." John says," Doing chores is10 . You learn important life skills and responsibility(责任)."

The smell of coffee in my {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(公寓套房) woke me up. I ran into the kitchen and I was surprised to see my grandpa! He was happy to see me. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(摇动) hands with me.

Mom said,"I'll make {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (三明治). Go down to the cellar (地下室) and bring me that jar(罐子) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (装满) with apples."That was the last jar. We saved it to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(接待) Grandpa. I took down the jar and put both my hands around it. I walked very carefully. Suddenly, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(跌倒) to the ground and the jar broke into {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(碎片).

"Are you OK?"Mom came quickly. I had a feeling that she would be unhappy, but she didn't. Grandpa said, "Never mind, Mike. Something unexpected often happens."

"Now go out of the kitchen,"Mom said."I'll make a special {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (黄油) hamburger, and it doesn't need apples."

Grandpa and I went out, but I felt sad. He {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (倾倒) some water and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (增加) some honey to it. I drank it. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} (最后),he cut a {#blank#}12{#/blank#} (西瓜) for me. We enjoyed the food together. About an hour later, Dad came back. Mom called us in for {#blank#}13{#/blank#}(庆祝)Thanksgiving. She {#blank#}14{#/blank#}(准备) a good dinner. We ate a lot of {#blank#}15{#/blank#} (传统的) food like turkeys.

My Room

Hello, I'm Becky Smith. I'm an English girl, but now I'm in Kaifeng, China with my family. I'm in Jinming Middle School. Here is a photo of my family.

These are my grandparents, Mike and Jane. They're my mother's parents. My mother's name is Cathy and my father's name is Jeff. This is my aunt. She is my mother's sister. Her name is Mary Green. And Simon Green is my uncle, Mary's husband. That is Heizai and he is their pet. It is a brown and white dog. These are my brother and sister. My brother's name is Paul, and my sister's name is Cindy. They are in Jinming Middle School, too. They are with my parents in this photo. But I'm not in this photo.

Alison, a very unusual painter, paints pictures for a living. However, she doesn't use her hands when she paints. She uses her mouth!

When she was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (十九), Alison had a car accident. She was h{#blank#}2{#/blank#} so seriously that her family thought she would lose her life. But t{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to the doctor, she was saved. However, her p{#blank#}4{#/blank#} problem caused her to spend many years of her life in hospital. 

Alison {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (需要) plenty of time to relax, but she never gave up. She realised that even though she was disabled (有残疾的), she could express h{#blank#}6{#/blank#} as freely as normal people. This was what got her to start drawing paintings. She believes that she can{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (成功) as others. With great{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(精力), her painting skills have reached a high level and her paintings do not look like they were drawn by someone who used her mouth. Meanwhile, Alison keeps eating h{#blank#}9{#/blank#} food and doing some exercise to stay fit. Alison has become a symbol of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (勇 气). Many disabled people have been cheered up by her active way of living and become more confident.
