It's necessary for parents to teach kids how to cook from an early age. I believe you will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} with what I say. However, you also need to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} that part of teaching your kids how to cook is teaching them about the ingredients(材料).

    One of the best ways you teach them about ingredients is to take them to go shopping with you. I know it won't always be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to do so. Maybe you have to spend some money {#blank#}4{#/blank#} your crying kids the big model car, because you don't want {#blank#}5{#/blank#} people to look at you.

    For one thing, it's great to let your kids see what food looks like in its {#blank#}6{#/blank#} state(状态). I don't mean seeing cows and chickens {#blank#}7{#/blank#} around (though that is good, too). I mean that they can see fruit, meat and vegetables before you {#blank#}8{#/blank#} them up or make them become dishes.

    In fact, if you live near a farmer's market, you can take your kids shopping with you there. At the farmer's market, your kids can talk to the people who grow the food. At {#blank#}9{#/blank#}, it will make your kids see whole(整个的) pineapples(菠萝), but not {#blank#}10{#/blank#} yellow rings with the hole in the middle.

    Britain is f{#blank#}1{#/blank#}as a country of animal lovers, and a many families have at least one pet. Americans also like animals, and about 60% of American families have a pet. People from other countries say that Americans think so much about animals and take them as well as people.

    At weekends people have many ways to see other animals. Many towns have a river with ducks. In Britain, people v{#blank#}2{#/blank#}farm parks, zoos, bird parks, and sea life parks.

    TV s{#blank#}3{#/blank#}about animals are very popular. Children are i{#blank#}4{#/blank#} in animals when they are very small. Children's life is wonderful b{#blank#}5{#/blank#}there are many different animals. Many animals in books have their own character: foxes are cunning(狡猾的), and cats are kind.

    We can watch stories about animals on TV. Animal World is very good. We can know more about animals. And we can see many other animals we can't see in our life.

    Animals are our friends and we s{#blank#}6{#/blank#}take the animals as our friends.

When I was about 14, I had a friend who liked to tell me my shortcomings(缺点). For example: I was very1 , I wasn't a top student, I talked too much. I was too proud and soon. I became so2 that I couldn't stand her at last. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

My father3 me quietly and asked, "Are the things she says true or not? Jane, didn't you ever want to know what you're 4 like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said." I did a she told me. To my great surprise, I5 that about half the things were true. Some I couldn't change, like being very short. But many I could and I wanted to change. For the first time, I had a better understanding of 6 .

I brought the list back to my father7 he refused to read it. "That's just for you," he said, "You know better than any other person the truth about yourself. When people say something true, you'll finally find it will be 8 to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to them all, but only hear the truth and do what you know. It is the 9 thing to do.

Father's 10 have returned to meat many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.

I took my 9-year-old daughter Susan and 5-year-old son Robbie, to the shopping centre. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Petting Zoo". The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?"

Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, "Sure", giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.

A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure (围场) pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.

A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.

She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for petting zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter." Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto (座右铭), which is "Love is Action!"

I knew clearly no one loves little animals than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!" for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It's not only "Love is Action"; it's "Love is SACRIFICIAL (牺牲的) Action!" Love always pays a price.

I was moved. We went back to the petting zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin (下巴) resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!

One day, Miss Wang tells her students to write a composition (写作文)，My Father.Bob writes the composition first and then helps his mother cook. But Eric goes to play with his dog, Coco.When it's time for dinner, he comes back.After dinner, he plays with his phone. Before going to bed, Eric remembers(记起) his composition.But he has no time to do it. He thinks of a way, "I can copy(抄袭) Bob's".

The next day, Miss Wang asks Eric,"Why your    ▲     is the same as Bob's?"

Eric answers"We have the same father."

 My name is Mary. I'm a student. I have a good 1 . Her name is Nancy. I go to school and have 2 with her.

 In my school, many students have lunch in the school dining hall. Nancy and I eat there 3 . Today we have beef noodles for lunch. There are some 4 and carrots in the noodles. I say to Nancy, "The beef noodles are 5 and I like them. But I don't like carrots. Do you like them?"

"Yes, I do, "says Nancy. "But I don't like potatoes. "

"You can eat my carrots and I can eat 6 potatoes. "

"That's a good 7 !"Nancy says.

 After that, we exchange(交换) our vegetables.

"It's important for us to eat many kinds of vegetables. They are good for our health, " Nancy says. "How 8 this? I try to eat potatoes and you try to 9 some carrots. "

"OK, "I say. I know Nancy is right,10 we exchange our vegetables again. It's great and fun.
