Imagine this： your parents go away on business， but you have to stay at home alone. Would life be as easy as when your parents are ___? Would it be a perfect holiday for you?
Zheng Chenyu says that she would _____ “Where can I find food? How can I cook it?” The 14-year-old girl says that she knows ____ about cooking.
“I can have tomato and egg soup， but that’s all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We don’t know what to do， or how to ____ ourselves，” said Zheng. “And I may forget something important. I may probably ______ television and then burn(煮干) the soup.” _____ Zheng believes that basic life skills， such as cooking and washing clothes， are especially important， she doesn’t think teenagers get enough practice.
“As soon as I leave home， I’ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost ______ for us. We’re very lazy，” she said.
Most teenagers only have time for their ___.They don’t learn any life skills until they go to college. However， Sima Yige doesn’t think so. “I think I’d be all right. I wouldn’t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some ______ dishes because my mum showed me，” the 13-year-old boy said. In his opinion， many teenagers depend(依靠) too much on their parents， and there is much more to learn than cooking， like “______ up your room or even dressing yourself properly”.
For most teenagers it wouldn’t be a holiday at all.

I was so excited after I had found the holiday in the guidebook. It said, “Enjoy a week of sightseeing in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities 41 staying at one of its best hotels. ” Now I wasn’t so sure. I had waited fifteen minutes at reception (前台) when I 42 and now the shower in my room wasn’t working. I 43 hotel reception.
“Hello. This is Room 308. There isn’t any 44 in my bathroom. ”
“Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure!”
“I’ll 45 our hotel engineer at once. ”
An hour later, the engineer came to look at the 46 . He hit the pipes (水管) a few times and looked 47 . “Sorry, but I cannot fix it today. Maybe, tomorrow.” Then he 48 his hand. I couldn’t believe it! He wanted a tip (小费) for doing 49 ! I was very angry. But suddenly, I had a better idea. 50 , I gave the engineer a few coins. He hadn’t fixed my shower but he had taught me something 51 staying in his country. Two minutes later I was at the reception desk. I explained the 52 to the receptionist (接待员) and he replied, “Sorry. This is a 53 situation, but what can we do?” I knew exactly 54 to do. I gave the hotel manager a very large tip. Fifteen minutes later I 55 into Room 405.

Dear Jenny,
How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I’ve been back at school 41 nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great 42 have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say 43 to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to 44 the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we 45 the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans( 豆类) in our 46 time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to 47 you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon 48 we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to go to the streets near our school and ask people to 49 the traffic rules.
I think we are having a different school life now!
Please write back soon and tell 50 more about your school.
Yours,
Wang Wei

She even follows him everywhere. 5 this, Arnold Pointer can’t do fishing — all the fishes are scared at her, and he doesn’t know 6 to do anymore.
It is hard to drive away such an almost 17-feet-long shark for Arnold Pointer. We all know the white sharks are protected 7 the wildlife conservation. At the same time, some special feeling has been 8 between Arnold and “Cindy”, the name the fisherman has given the white shark.

“Never give up!” It is my law(法则) of my life. It has brought me 16 . I learned the law from my father’s 17 story.
My father was 18 in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then 19 in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework 20 midnight. Life was hard, because they had no 21 !
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where 22 people can become rich.
“ 23 don’t I go to America?” he thought to himself, full of hope.
So , my father came to America. “ I had thought it was easy to 24 money in America,” he told me. “But when I arrived there, I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire（雇佣） me because I spoke 25 English. Later, I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, 26 dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was 27 for the first few years. I worked from 10a.m to 11p.m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t 28 the schooling(学费).
My father 29 working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,” he often says to me, “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come 30 in life.” That is what I learned from my father.
