My father is     1    .   He is an artist. He spends all his time     2     (draw). He can draw     3    (good). He likes to help others. Each year, he draws     4    (80)pictures for my school library. The library sells     5    (they) for $50 each. The pictures sell well. Then teachers buy more books for children with the money.This year the library is 150 years old. My father wants     6    (draw) 150 pictures for its birthday. He is drawing     7    (hard) than he used to. He wants to finish drawing the pictures before its birthday in October, so he gets up at 5:30 a.m to draw his pictures. My mother is     8    at drawing, too. So she always helps my father.My father only finishes 33 pictures. But I think he can finish all pictures on time!

My grandfather is a    1    (retire) worker. On summer evenings, we often sat together outside the house    2    (enjoy) the cool air. It was the time that he told me lots of his experiences before liberation.

When my grandfather was fourteen years old, he worked in a coal mine. One day, when he and his two workmates were working in the tunnel, a/an    3     (fortune) thing suddenly happened. A part of the tunnel fell down, and they were shut in it. They had no food     4    (eat). When they were hungry, they only drank some water there. It was very cold in it. In order to keep warm, they hugged one another. In the darkness, they didn’t know whether it was day    5    night, they only felt they had stayed there for a very long time. They were too hungry to speak or move, and thought they    6    (die). At last, the tunnel    7    (dig) through. They were saved. They had been there for fourteen days! My grandfather said they weren’t let out at once. If    8    , they would have died. They were kept at the entrance to the tunnel    9    it was very dim, and they were fed    10    some thin porridge. After a day or two, they had recovered a bit, and they were helped out.

I have loved     1     (watch) films since I was a child.     2     (go) to the local cinema with my parents was a pleasant memory. The cinema was old and uncomfortable, but I liked it and always looked forward to     3     (see) a new movie. Now they’ve stopped     4     (show) films there. The owner would like to go on     5     (run) the cinema, but the cinema is so old that it needs     6     (repair), which means     7     (spend) a lot of money.

The last film shown in this cinema was a detective film. It was five minutes from the end when suddenly all the lights went out and the film stopped.     8     (wait) in the darkness made us kind of anxious. Then the owner appeared with a torch. “I regret to tell you,” he said. “The electricity has failed. We’ve tried     9     (phone) the electricity company, but they said they couldn’t help.” Then he explained to the audience how the film ended.

What a funny and disappointing experience! But I don’t regret     10     (have) the chance to witness the last film in this cinema.
