One day, Jack's parents told him that his grandpa would retire (退休) after working for forty years. Jack said1, "I'm only seven, so it means my grandpa has been…er…a really long time!"

    His parents said, "Yes. There is a (n)2place in his heart that we don't know how to fill. That's why we are going to have a surprise party for him."

    Jack loved his grandpa and wanted to do something3for him. He remembered the business card his grandpa had given him two years before. He knew that his grandpa would no longer hold the position on that card, so he decided to build a new one for his grandpa.

    When the big night came, Jack was4. He put his gift in a small box. But he didn't want to put his gift together with others'. He carried it around with him the whole5.

    When all the other people6, he took his grandpa's hand and brought him over to a chair and gave him the gift.

    His grandpa smiled, "Well, it must be a beautiful7. May I open it now?" "Sure!" Jack said excitedly.

    As Jack's grandpa opened the gift, tears came into his eyes. He was touched by Jack's gift. Jack gave him the greatest gift he had8got! It was a business card with his new position FULL-TIME GRANDPA! Jack said, "Now your9job is my grandpa."

    "Well10do l get paid?" his grandpa asked, smiling. "As many hugs (拥抱) as you want!" With these words, Jack gave his grandpa a hug. "Well, I guess that means I'm the richest man in the world!" said the grandpa.

In the past, my old grandmother didn't enjoy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(谈话) on the phone. Actually, she hated the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(产品), so she always {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(避免) using it. She told us that she preferred speaking to people in person. It {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(几乎) made her sad that she couldn't see the person she was talking to. The other day, we chatted with my grandmother and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (提及) video calling over the Internet. It was invented for people to see each other on applications. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (突然), we came up with a creative idea. We bought her a laptop which was a(n) {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (国际) brand. One of my cousins went over to her house and taught her how to use it. When she met anything she didn't understand, my cousin would explain it to her. Luckily, she was a quick learner. Now, she is happy and we can tell by the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (表情) on her face. She says it's also very {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (便利的) because it's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (可移动). She can put it anywhere in the house because it is small and doesn't take up much room. Without {#blank#}11{#/blank#} (怀疑), it brings her much {#blank#}12{#/blank#} (快乐). She even shares her {#blank#}13{#/blank#} (每天) life with us while she' s {#blank#}14{#/blank#} (煮) something in the kitchen! My cousin and I became the {#blank#}15{#/blank#}(英雄) in her heart.

Maddie Clybum used to be self﹣abased（自卑的）because she was born with an ear that never developed. Other kids used to laugh at this lovely six﹣year﹣old girl. What was worse， {#blank#}1{#/blank#}hearing was getting weaker and weaker because of these situations. But now everything has{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. 

Dr. Chery Lewin，a famous doctor in a hospital in Los Angeles，the US{#blank#}3{#/blank#}，which is in fact a 3 D product. 

Nothing was easy for the doctor. The first {#blank#}4{#/blank#}was to scan（扫描） Maddie's good ear. 

Then，she developed a man﹣made ear using 3 D technology that looked quite{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. 

It was the first time that Maddie saw her new ear. "I have something really helpful {#blank#}6{#/blank#}you. This is your new big ear. "The doctor explained to her how she had got her new ear，surprising the girl a lot. 

Her mom Erin could hardly wait. "People used to ask uncomfortable {#blank#}7{#/blank#}and my daughter has been silent for years. They used to make fun of her {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. "

Now everything has changed and she has never been so {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. 

On the day of her operation（手术）. Maddie was excited and worried. After a nine﹣hour her amazing 3 D ear came out. Her mom cried with tears （眼泪） {#blank#}10{#/blank#}she saw a photo of her daughter's new ear. 

Whoever Maddie meets now，she is used to saying "I {#blank#}11{#/blank#}my new ear. "

Hello, I'm John. Last weekend, my parents took me to visit my grandparents in town. Look! This is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} photo of my grandparents' house. In the photo, my parents and I are growing vegetables {#blank#}2{#/blank#} front of it. The house is on a farm. It has two floors. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}are many flowers and trees around the house. Every day, my grandparents water the plants and feed( 喂 ) the animals. There is a lake near their house. Sometimes my grandpa goes {#blank#}4{#/blank#}there. There are about two {#blank#}5{#/blank#} families in the town. Some {#blank#}6{#/blank#} keep cows and pigs, and others grow rice. People there know {#blank#}7{#/blank#} other. They are all friendly. There are buses to the city center every day, so people usually {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the bus to do shopping. When {#blank#}9{#/blank#} stayed there, I heard the birds singing and woke up early. Then I fed the chickens {#blank#}10{#/blank#} milked the cows. We had a good time on the farm.

I think it is a wonderful place to live. I hope you can come and have fun!
