Andy doesn't like cleaning his room. This morning, when Andy is lying in bed, Mum walks into his room. She finds there are many clothes on the floor. Mum gets angry and says, "Look at your room, Andy! I don't want to come into your room at all. Today your brother Ryan wants to go to the zoo. Get up and put your clothes on quickly if you would like to go with us. "

Andy gets out of his bed and finds his coat, jeans and scarf on the floor, but he only finds one of his shoes. "Can you help me find the other one, Mum? "Andy asks. His mum says, "No, Andy. I don't know where it is. It's your fault(错误)to put your things everywhere. Now,  ▲  . l will check it after we come back. And you can't ask your grandpa for help. "

Then Mum leaves for the zoo with Dad and Ryan. Andy has to clean his room at home and it takes him a morning to do the cleaning. Finally, he finds his shoe on the bed! When Mum comes back, she sees Andy's room is very tidy. She says, "Good job, Andy! Here is some ice cream for you. "

"Come on, Dad! It's 7:20 a. m. now,"says Harry.

"I need to wash the car now,"Mr. Smith says."Walk to school this morning,OK?"

"But the school is a little far,"says Jane.

"Walking is good. Now get your schoolbags and go!"

Then Jane and Harry walk to school. It takes 30 minutes. When they get to school, they are very tired. In the evening, Jane and Harry have a big meal with their grandpa. They tell him they are not happy to walk to school. Grandpa says, "That's good for you. I used to(过去常常) walk five miles to school every day."

"Really?"Jane says."But I don't like walking."

Grandpa says,"Kids need to walk or run every day. It's good for your health."

"Oh,I'll start walking every day," Harry says."I'd like to be healthy."

"I will join you, Harry,"says Jane.

Betty collected a basket of seashells. She showed them to Amy." Look! They are all1 . These are big, and those are small. Some look like beautiful animals… Well, I can use them to make a birthday present for my Dad! How wonderful!"

Suddenly, Amy saw the sea water rising along the beach. She was 2 and cried," The waves! They will take your toys!"

" Put my seashells onto the bus, Amy!" Betty ra n 3 to get her toys.

Just when Amy was about to get the basket onto the bus, she fell down and the shells4 into pieces.

When Betty 5 , she saw the pieces and cried. Amy tried to tell her what happened, but Betty still looked 6 and didn't talk to Amy. Amy didn't know what to do, so she took them home.

The next morning at school, Amy found Betty on her 7 . She walked over to her desk and took out a frame(框) and a bag of seashells." Betty, I 8 some nice seashell pieces from the broken ones last night. Shall we glue(粘) them to the frame together? We can put a( an) 9 of your family in it. It will be a wonderful present." Amy said. Betty agreed. Together they made a beautiful frame.

" Sorry, I wasn't careful yesterday, Betty." Amy said."I know the shells are 10 to you."

"I should also say‘ sorry' to you. I like them, but you' re my best friend." Betty smiled.

Last night, when I was preparing for my English exam in my bedroom, I suddenly heard a loud noise. The glass on the edge (边缘) of the desk {#blank#}1{#/blank#} onto the floor. The glass was {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. The light in the room was shaking. I looked out of the window and found the whole building was shaking too. I realized (意识到) that a(n) {#blank#}3{#/blank#} had happened. I{#blank#}4{#/blank#} myself that I must be brave and stay calm and try not to cry. I crawled (爬) and hid myself under the bed. Several minutes later, the building didn't shake any more. So I crawled out and ran out of the building as quickly as I could. Or I couldn't {#blank#}5{#/blank#} what would happen. What a terrible experience!

I was born in Los Angeles, California. As a child, I would ask the neighbors, "Do you want to know what{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (happen) in my house last night?" Then I'd like {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (tell) them all my family secrets! I believe those {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (story) were the beginning of my writing career(生涯)!

I went to college at UCLA and UC Berkeley where I studied English. After{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (leave) college, I taught high school{#blank#}5{#/blank#}half a year. I was a terrible teacher. My students were out of control. So I{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(give) up the job and got a new one writing educational books for children. 

My writing partner was Steve Mooser. Neither of us had ever written for children, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}we decided to learn more about it by going to a meeting of children's book writers. We couldn't find one, so we threw one ourselves, setting up the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). We welcome anyone who shows an interest in children's books. 

Today, the SCBWI is{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (large) children's writing organization in the world with more than 22, 000 numbers! They are child-loving and creative. Those are my favorite kind of people. 

I've written a lot of books for young people. I love my work. Every day, I am thankful that I became {#blank#}9{#/blank#}famous writer. I will try my best to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (creative)than before and live in the world of children's books.
