Susan had a cake shop at a shopping mall. Her job wasn’t easy     1     she had to begin to work at 8 a.m. and finish it at 9 p.m. every day.     2     (lucky), she wasn’t alone. Her sisters worked together with her in the shop. They made most of the cakes and snacks by     3     (they).

Susan and her sisters usually worked in the kitchen at the back of the shop. During festivals, they were always too busy     4     (get) out of it. They were often tired at that time,     5     they never gave up the work. Susan thought their cakes were     6     (work) of art. She said when she saw the look of joy on the customers’ faces, she had     7     feeling of happiness. Susan not only     8     (success) in business but also helped a lot of people. No matter how busy she was, she tried to spend time     9     (help) at the old people’s home once a month. And she often provided poor children     10     money and food. What a kind lady she was!

I’m going to tell you something about my sister Mary. She studied     1     /'medɪsn/ at college (大学). She’s a doctor now and she operates (动手术) on people with heart disease. It’s     2     important but very tiring job (工作). Some of the operations last for hours. It’s     3     /'nesəsəri/ to be able to stand for a long time and stay focused all the time.

She works really long hours, and she often has to get     4     in the middle of the night if a patient (病人) gets any worse. She works in one of the     5     (hospital) in our city, and she also has a private clinic (私人诊所). I’m not sure how     6     money she makes, but I think it must be a lot.

It is hard work but she loves     7     (she) job. She always     8     (make) time to study something new. For example, she spends half an hour every day     9     (read) medical articles and keeping up to date (与时俱进). She is teaching in a college too. The only problem would be that she doesn’t have     10     /ɪ'nʌf/ time for her son. He’s seven years old and he is a cool pupil now.

Mother’s Day is a special day for mothers all over the world. It’s a celebration that honors the mothers of each family. On this day, we often say “thank you” to our moms. We also prepare some p    1     for our lovely mothers, such as flowers and cakes.

Every Mother’s Day, I     2     make a card and give it to my mom with some flowers. When my mom r    3     these gifts, she gives me a warm hug and a big bright smile. I know she is very s    4     with what I have done for her.

A mother’s love is not only selfless but also priceless. It is just l    5     a circle. It has no beginning and no end.

Let’s love and respect our mothers!

Today I got the chance to v    1     a TV concert of Andy. In the s    2    , the make-up a    3     was busy putting make-up on Andy. After that, the d    4     shouted, “Is everyone ready?” S    5     later, the concert began. The spot light shone down u    6     Andy. He was a super star. He felt r    7     instead of nervous. Suddenly, he passed out and couldn’t went on with it. Rock, who was a    8     the crowd, rushed f    9     to the stage. To our surprise, he gave us a very perfect talk show. He got great p    10     from the audience in the end. It was very unforgettable.
