Mr. Green is a farmer. He works     1     a big farm. He has a cute son.     2     (he) name is Bruce. Bruce is 7 years old and he     3     (have) a big head. One day, Bruce comes home. He is not happy. “    4     are you not happy, my dear?” Mr. Green asks. Bruce says, “Dad, you have a small head.     5     why do I have a big head?” “Big head means you are a     6     /ˈklevə(r)/ boy in China.” says Mr. Green. Bruce     7     (try) to believe (相信) his father. Five minutes later, Bruce’s mother asks him to buy two     8     (kilo) of rice. Bruce can’t find a big     9     (shop) bag. His mother says, “No     10     /ˈprɒbləm/! You can use (使用) your hat.”

I used to live in my own room alone. But one day it all changed when I was asked to share my room with my brother Mike. I asked my parents not to do this,     1     it didn’t work. As soon as Mike entered my room, it began to become dirty.

    2     evening, I was doing some homework on my computer. Later, I left my seat without saving the homework. When I returned, he was using my computer to play games. Sadly, he had closed my program without saving it. All I had done disappeared! I shouted at     3    . My mother also asked him to leave my room at once.

At 10:00 p. m., I finished my homework. When I was going to turn     4     the computer, I saw the picture of my brother and I that he had drew and put on my table. Looking at his lovely face, I began to feel really sorry. I found him and said to him, “From now     5    , my room is not only mine. It is ours!”That night, Mike and I shared not only the room, but also the bed.

One night I was sitting in my kitchen half-listening as my fifteen-year-old son Tommy     1     (fight) with his brother Kevin. Later, Kevin went upstairs with a hurt look on his face. I didn’t think it was a big problem.

About twenty minutes later, as I     2     (walk) upstairs, I heard Kevin crying in his room. I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to talk?”

There was no answer. I tried again. Still,     3     (something) happened. So I took a piece of paper and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk,     4     (I) can write notes to each other” and slipped (使滑动) it under the door.

An hour later, I was still sitting on the floor outside his door. A note slipped out. As I read it, I couldn’t help crying. It said, “Nobody in this family loves me, I am not the youngest     5     the oldest and I am not the smartest. Tommy thinks I’m too weak and Dad wishes he had another Kevin who’s     6     (good) at basketball. You are never around to even notice me.

He was right about my part. Feeling sorry for him, I wrote back, “Kevin, I do love you. And everyone in this family loves you.”

I could hear him crying softly, half an hour later, a note with “Thanks” came out.

I wrote back, “For what?”

He returned, “Loving me.”

Since then, I     7     (try) my best to care about my family members. When one of us notices that the other is unhappy, we     8     (smile) and say, “Write it on paper.”

Hi! I am Rick. I’m from England. I have     1     big family. Today, I want to tell you something about our life. My parents get up at 7:00 a. m.every day. We have breakfast at 8:00 a. m. After breakfast, Dad goes to work     2     foot. Mom, my sister, my brother and I go out by bus.

It’s only ten     3     (minute) bus ride. My mom works in a store from 9: 00 a.m. to 3: 15 p. m. After we get home, my sister usually       4     (watch) shows on TV with my brother and me. It’s 6: 30 p. m. now and we     5     (eat) dinner together as usual. After that, it’s important for us     6     (do) our homework carefully before reading. Of course, we can’t be too     7     (noise) because my parents are     8     (real) strict in our study. On weekends, we always go out to help people in need and I practice     9     (run) for the coming sports meeting next week. On Sundays, our family often either go to the movies     10     take a walk. We have a good time!

Everything went black! All the     1     (light) in our apartment went out, including the TV. Mum     2     (take) out the candles and Dad went to see what was going on. I went     3     our next-door neighbour, Mr. Smith. With a candle in his hand, Mr. Smith answered     4     door. Uh-oh! He didn’t have lights, either. I found that all the buildings in our neighbourhood were dark.     5     (we) neighbors went downstairs and began chatting (聊天) outside. They were not     6     (worry) at all. Then we heard a scary sound after a bright flash of lightning (闪电).

It started to rain heavily. Mr. Smith turned on the radio     7     (get) some information. The weatherman said that the storm was the cause of all the problems. It hit a tower at the power (电) station before the flash of lightning. That was the reason why the lights     8     (sudden) went out before the rain came. Finally, the lights came back. We cheered loudly.     9     it’s time to go back, we didn’t end the conversations. The event gave neighbors a chance to spend     10     (much) time together than before.

The bell rang and school was over. Usually Frank’s mother would come to school and take     1     (he) home. But today she was not here. Frank waited for ten     2     (minute) and then he decided to go home on foot. When he got home, he could not get in     3     he did not bring the key with him. He knocked at the door.     4     his surprise, no one answered. Frank thought his mother was in the washing room, so he waited     5     (quiet) for his mother. After a few minutes, he knocked again, but there was still no answer. “What is     6     (happen) now? Is there anything wrong with my mother?” He thought to himself and got     7     (worry). Just at that moment, he heard the friendly voice of his neighbour, Jack. Frank told Jack his problem. “    8     (not) worry,   just come to my home and stay with me.” Jack said to him. Then they had     9     good time. They were playing games     10     Frank’s mother came back. She said sorry to Frank. She lost her phone and her car got broken on the way to school!

【推荐3】I was feeling a little sad because my mother had lost her job. One day, while I     1    (walk) on the street, I heard that a beautiful piece of piano music     2    (play) above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly     3    (find) out where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano.

She was singing songs about love, confidence and keeping on trying.     4    way she was singing made me relaxed. I stood there quietly,     5     (watch) her playing on such a crowded New York square. I thought that she must be brave enough to perform in front of so many people.

She noticed me. I walked over and told her how     6    (beauty) her music sounded. “Thank you,” she said.

“I have been going through a hard time recently, but you've made me hopeful again,” I said to her.

“I'm glad that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”

“Well, my mum     7    (lose) her job, and I'm not so sure what to do...”

“Did you notice the way you were walking? Your head was down,” she said. “don't be upset, because opportunity comes     8     different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should smile more... lift your head up.”

I looked at her,     9    (amaze) at how she was encouraging me. “Why are you playing the piano here now?” I asked her with a smile.

She explained that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried o cheer them up by playing music.

I smiled a little     10    (wide) , realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.
