1 . Have you ever     1     (be) to Wuyuan? It is in the northeast of Jiangxi Province. People call it “the hometown of books”, “the hometown of tea” and “the     2     (beautiful) village in China”.

I     3     (go) there with my friends in April last year. We had a wonderful experience. We visited Changxi village, a place famous for making green tea. People live     4     quiet and simple life there. Next we passed through the oldest lane (空中走廊) to experience the beautiful Rainbow Bridge. Although it was built 800 years ago, it stands as strong as ever.     5     (final), we had a look at the Yuanyang Lake. Along the lake is a forest with about 185 kinds of plants that are green all year round.

Friends are very necessary in our life. Everyone     1     (need) friends. We all like to feel close to someone.     2     is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. However, friends always don’t get     3     well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will become friends again. If our friends move away, we will feel very lonely. And we will miss     4     (they) very much, but we can call them and write to them     5     (happy). And we can also make new     6     (friend).

There is more good news for people who have friends. They live     7     (long) than people who don’t have any friends. Why?     8     friends can make us feel happy.     9    (Be) happy helps us stay healthy.

All in all, it is     10     (importance) for us to have friends in our life.

Long long ago, there was a rabbit (兔子) called Rita and a duck called Diana. One day, Rita     1     (notice) Diana swimming in the lake happily. She said to Diana, “You can swim happily in the lake. How lucky you are! I wish I could     2     (变化) into a duck.”

“Really? I wish I could become a rabbit! Your legs are     3     strong that you can jump very far.” said Diana.

Just then a fairy (仙女) appeared. “I’ll make your wishes come true.” said the fairy. After that Rita became a duck! She waddled (摇摆地行走) to the lake to swim. Diana became a rabbit. She thanked the fairy for her     4     (kind), and then she jumped into the forest happily.

At the end of the day, Rita was wet and cold. Diana got     5     trouble, too. It’s getting dark and she found herself in the forest. She wished to go back to the lake!

Everyone should be happy to be themselves. Don’t always admire others.
