7 . 语法填空
The two old ladies 1 lived next door were called Joanna and Martha. They were sisters, and had lived there all their lives. Martha was the quiet one, 2 stayed at home and did the housework. She always wore a white apron (围裙), 3 never looked dirty. Joanna, 4 was more sociable, was a secretary until she reached sixty and retired. “I've had enough of that office,” she told Martha. But that wasn’t the real reason 5 she stopped working. She had always dreamed of going on a long, expensive holiday, to beautiful cities, 6 she could spend days in art galleries and museums, and to white sandy beaches, on 7 she could sunbathe and relax.
And now she had the time and the money to do things 8 she wanted to do. But she knew that Martha, 9 was so different from her, and 10 only interest was the house, would not like the idea. Of course, she wouldn’t go traveling alone and leave her sister living in the house all by herself. So what did Joanna do? Stay in the house doing nothing all day long? No! She did spend days “in” art galleries and museums, but, through the Internet!
