Where the Sidewalk Ends is a book full of fascinating poems written     1     Shel Silverstein. It contains more than 100 of all kinds of poems-some are happy, some are funny and some are     2     (excite). Each poem comes with a nice drawing by the author     3     (he). Some of the pictures are very silly.

My favourite poem     4     (call) Snowman. It is about     5     happy snowman, which always wants to see July. Other animals say that he will melt (融化) by then. But the snowman wants to see July so     6     (bad) that no matter what other people say, it does not bother the snowman one bit. This poem never says if he actually sees July. So you can only guess.

Another poem I really like is Santa and the reindeer. This poem is about Christmas. Santa has to give     7     (variety) presents to the children while one of his reindeer is always asking what’s for him. I guess Santa gets really annoyed because he puts a flea (虱子) in the reindeer’s ear. And the next thing you know, they fly away and are ready     8     (continue) their journey through the world handing out presents to all the children     9     have behaved well.

This book is fun to read because of all those unique poems. The     10     (character) of this book do many unusual things such as selling sisters, talking to fish and a lot more.

When I was young, I loved a book     1     (call) Grandmother. It’s about a girl     2     grandmother went to heaven. At that time, I didn’t really know what the words meant, but I liked the sounds of them when they were being read.

One night, I asked my grandmother     3     (read) it to me. I smiled 59.     4     (sweet) while she read. When she finished, I asked, “Grandma, do all people die?” “Yes,” she answered, “soone r or later.” “Why?” I asked. “How could you enjoy every second of your life if you knew you could live forever? But, what if you die?” She explained in a calm and     5    (peace) state of mind.“You never know how much you enjoy something until you lose it. It takes losing something to know     6     (it) value.”

I gave my grandmother a kiss on her face and     7     (say) goodnight before    8     (fall) into sleep. I told her that I would love her forever. It was later     9     my life that I learned the meaning and the     10     (important) of her words.

Do you wear school uniforms at school? Nowadays students     1     (require) to wear school uniforms in many schools. Actually, there are many advantages of it.

A lot of research shows that wearing the same clothes will help to improve learning. Children don't have to think about     2     they're wearing, which can help to fix their attention on the tasks at hand. The classroom which is filled with students     3     (dress) in the same clothes takes on a more serious feel, too. Young people who regard learning as more of     4     honor than a burden tend to perform better in their studies, and some people argue that uniforms can help achieve this.

Wearing school uniforms may reduce teasing as well. When everyone is wearing the same clothes,     5     is not easy to pick people out for being different, at least not on the surface. Kids may also have less     6     (press) to wear certain types or brands of clothing.

One of the greatest benefits of wearing school uniforms is its ability     7     (create) a level playing field. Students come from     8     (vary) social backgrounds. If poor children are dressed the same as their wealthy counterparts (同龄人) at school, they     9     (focus) on what they have in common rather than their differences. This is     10     (particular) important in schools.

As a growing number of online users began to show interest     6     raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer     7     (much) science content about cloud spotting than before. So she started to learn more by     8     (refer) to specialized books and consulting professionals.

Zheng has now shared nearly 200 pieces of popular science content. Looking ahead, she has plans to hold several gallery     9     (exhibition). By doing this, she hopes to inspire more people     10     (enjoy) the beauty in the sky.
