Many years ago I studied in a university in the biggest city in our country. It's beautiful but it's hot in summer. So I usually went back to my 1 when my summer holiday began. It is a small village but it's cool and quiet. I could study in the daytime and have a good sleep at night.
One day I had some problems to solve. But I didn't take the 2 home. My father told me Charlie, one of my classmates, had a library. I went to his house at once. We didn't see each other after I 3 middle school. At first he didn't recognize(认出) me. He 4 me up and down. And then he called out, "oh, dear! It's you, Fred!"
Of course we were 5 to meet each other again and talked a lot about our classmates and teachers. Later on he showed me around his library. It wasn't big but there were a lot of nice books in it. And the dictionaries I 6 were in them. At last I said, "7 you lend some dictionaries to me, please?"
"I'm sorry I don't lend anything in my library to 8," said the young man.
" Are you afraid I'll lose them?"
" No, I'm not. I'm afraid you won't 9 them to me. Look! All the books here are not 10, but borrowed!"

A
At school many things happen to us. We may feel excited when we have success in a school play. We may feel sorry if we lose an important game. We want to keep the memory for the rest of our lives.
How to keep the memory? Our English teacher, Miss Wang, has taught us a good way of remembering things to make our own yearbook. What is a yearbook? A yearbook is a kind of book which is used to keep the memory of exciting moments. It's usually made at the end of the year.
Last year, we began to make our yearbook. First we chose the persons who had done something special, then some students interviewed(采访) them, some wrote down their stories, others took photos of them. Everyone in our class had something to do. Finally, our teacher helped us to put the things together. We had our first yearbook. All of us put a lot of love into making the yearbook. It is so wonderful that not only the students but also our parents and teachers will remember the special time for ever.

A young man went to a car shop. He was wearing rubber boots(橡胶靴子) and a dirty jacket. He needed a haircut(理发) very much. The young man looked at an expensive car carefully and then asked the shop owner(店主), "How much is this car?" "Nine thousand two hundred and eighteen," the owner answered. "I want sixteen of them," the young man said. The shop owner smiled coldly. He showed the door to the young man.
In another shop on the other side of the street the business was done(生意做成了). The young man took money out of his pocket and paid for the cars. He said the cars were for himself and his friends were. Each of them wanted to get one. He said that he and his friends were working on a fishing-boat. "We have got much money this season," the young man said, "and we want to buy cars."
—He was a _______.
(3)Mr. Smith works in an office. He is very busy and has no time to have a good rest. Every evening, when he comes from his office, he's always tired and wants to go to bed early. But his wife often has a lot of interesting things to tell him after supper. She doesn't stop talking until she falls asleep, but it's usually too late and Mr Smith has to get up in time in the morning when she is asleep.
One day the man felt terrible and couldn't go to work. He decided to go to see a doctor. And Mrs Smith went to the hospital with him. Before her husband said what was the matter with him, the woman told the doctor all and the man understood why. The doctor wrote out a prescription. And when Mr Smith brought the medicine to the resulting-room, the doctor said to Mrs Smith, "The bottle of medicine is for your husband and the pills are for you."
"For me?" the woman said in surprise, "I'm fine. I don't need any medicine!" "I don't think so, Madam," said the doctor, "They are sleeping pills, your husband will soon be all right if you take them."

Almost every Chinese person can recite(背诵) the two lines of the famous poem, "Every grain on the plate comes from hard work". But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.
A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Absolutely not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2013, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese people are well-known for being friendly and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food?
⒈ Don't order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.
⒉ Don't leave any food in your bowls while having meals.
⒊ Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
