I come from a large family, and I share the same personality with several family members. But it’ s clear that I’ m most like my grandfather, although we’ re different __________ some ways, too.

My grandfather and I both like to spend time outdoors. We both enjoy riding our bikes and watching sports. We’ re brave, too. I really like to go fishing with my grandfather. We __________ love nature. We also enjoy working in his garden to grow fruit and vegetables. I remember that an apple tree __________ there last year.

__________, it’ s a different story when winter comes. Unlike my grandfather, I love being outside in the snow. I like to have snowball fights with my friends, but he __________ to sit by the fire and read. Sometimes he and I play cards, __________ I don’ t really enjoy that very much. I’ m too energetic __________ for so long! On __________ other hand, when we play one of my favorite video games, I have fun. But my grandfather does not feel excited at all. He’ s also kind of slow!

In fact, it doesn’ t really matter to me __________ we do together. I like being with my grandfather and spending much __________ time with him. Because the time we spend together is unforgettable and valuable.

Eric stayed at home alone one night. His parents had to __________ his grandpa in the hospital. He often stayed alone before, so he wasn’t __________ about anything. As he waited for his parents to return home, he watched the latest films on TV. His _________ became heavier and heavier as time passed.

Suddenly Eric’ s eyes opened wide. What was that __________ in the next room? Eric noticed that the window was slowly opened. For a minute Eric was so frightened that he could not __________ , and his body felt like ice.

He knew that he mustn’t lose his head and began to think of the things he could do. He couldn’t __________ the telephone without passing the window where he had heard the noise. Again he heard the sound of someone trying to __________ into his room through the window.

Eric’ s drums were standing near the TV. “Wait, maybe there is something I can do,” thought Eric. He picked up the drumsticks and beat on the drums as __________ as he could. The commotion(骚动) was so terrible that Eric surprised __________ himself . He also surprised the person near the window, who __________ as fast as possible.

There are many kinds of museums in China. And here are the most representative art museums.

As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.

One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said.

“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded(折叠的) in half, wrote their names in bold(黑体字) with the most eye-catching colour, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’ s name directly. “

“I couldn’t understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”

After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.
