Mr. Miller had a shop in a big town. He     21     ladies’ clothes, and he always had two or three shop girls to help him. But none of the shop girls     22     him for very long because they were young, and they did not meet many     23     in a women’s shop.

Last month a     24     girl came to work for him. Her name was Helen, and she was very good.

After a     25     days, Mr. Miller saw a young man     26     the shop. He went straight （直接地）to Helen, spoke to her for a few minutes and then went out of the shop again.

Mr. Miller was rather     27    , and when the young man left, he went to Helen and said, “That young man didn’t buy     28    . What did he want to see?”

Helen answered, “Me, at half past five.”

Breathing is very important to everyone.

You must breathe all the time to s    56     alive. If you try to hold your breath f    57     more than about a minute, your body will let you start breathing again. The air that you breathe is made up of many d    58     gases (气体) mixed together, but your body only needs one of them, oxygen(氧气), to keep you a    59     . If you ran out of (缺少) oxygen, even for a very s    60     time, you would die.

The air that you b    61     out is warm and has water in it. You can see this i    62     you breathe onto a mirror (镜子). The water in your breath cools down and forms a mist(雾) as it hits the old mirror.

I have many birthday presents. All of them are nice, but my favourite present is an English-Chinese dictionary. I got it last year. My parents gave it to me as a birthday present. This present is very useful and helps me a lot with my study. When I meet new words, I can use this dictionary to find the meaning. I think it is really a good helper. This dictionary is not only a birthday present but also my good friend.
