“Thank you,” ______ the woman, “you are very kind. You see I’m weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was now going to market to ______ the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.

“We are all going to the _____.” said the boys. “Let us have the basket.” And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked ______   with the heavy basket, but happily.

The other day, I saw a little girl stop and ______   a piece of orange peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶), “I wish ______   would throw that on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may step on it and fall.”

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears(眼泪) in your eyes tell others that you are sad.

When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No” . You nod(点头) and people know you are saying “Yes” . Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you know where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
