（一）Most American families are smaller than the families in o 81 countries. Most American families e 82 have one or two children.

C 83 in the US will leave their parents' home when they grow up. They usually live far f 84 their parents because they want to find good jobs. They often w 85 to their parents or telephone them. And they often go to visit their parents on h 86 .

Parents usually let their children choose their o 87 jobs. Americans think it important for young people to decide on their lives by themselves.

Children are asked to do some work around their house. And in many families, children are paid (付钱)for d 88 some housework so that they learn how to make money for their own use.

Do you often help y 89 parents do housework? Do you want to live with your parents w 90 you grow up ?

（二）Lofton is a little village （村庄）in England. It is not f__81___ from the city of Manchester. Not many families l__82___ around the village, so the people all know each o__83___. Most of them are friendly and helpful.

（三）One day I found a little girl sitting in the park sadly. Lots of people passed by but never s 81 to see why she looked so sad. As I got closer I saw that her b 82 had a strange shape. That’s a hump (驼背)! Perhaps that was the r 83 why people just passed by and make no effort to help. I sat down beside her and said, “Hello!” Then she, in a low voice, said, “Hi.” I smiled and she smiled b 84 , shyly. Then we talked there u 85 it got dark. I asked the girl why she was so sad. She looked at me and said with a sad face, “Because of

the hump.”

“But, you make me t 86 of an angel (天使), sweet and friendly,” I said. She looked at me and asked, “Really?” I said, “Yes, I think you are an angel and you come here to watch over all those people walking by.” When she h 87 this, the little girl jumped up. “I am! I’m an angel!” I was happy because she was no sad any m 88 .

After that, my life also changed. I learned how to s 89 both happiness and sadness with others. I believe now we give something to others in the s 90 way we get the same.

(四)There was a big earthquake under the India Ocean Area o 81 December 26th 2004 and it c 82 a large tsunami. Tsunamis are great sea waves produced especially by an earthquake.

That morning my classmates and I went to the seaside and had breakfast when we h 83 a loud noise like bombs. People in the sea ran w 84 to the bank and s 85 , ‘Water is coming!’ Someone told us to run to a higher place. We ran as q 86 as we could.

Since we did not know what happened, we were very f 87 . We looked back and saw a t 88 picture. The water waves were so strong that cars were made to fall upside down and the flood w 89 away everything on the seaside . We were safe but the n 90 of victims was over 140,000. People call the day ‘Black Sunday’.

（五）Man has a big brain. He can think and s 76 languages. Scientists once thought that man isn’t the same as animals b 77 man can think and learn. They know now that dogs, monkeys and birds can learn, too.

They are beginning to u 78 that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals can’t speak. They make much n 79 when they are afraid, or unhappy. Apes(猿) can learn some things more quickly than man. One or two of them have learned a few words. But they cannot join words to make s 80 . They cannot think l 81 us because they have no language. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been a 82 to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very w 83 when he is four or five, b 84 no animals learn to speak.

How do children learn it? Scientists don’t really know w 85 happens inside our body when we speak. They only know that man can speak because he has a brain.

（六）Reading books is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.

First, reading books is f 72 . You can always keep yourself interested and help you to have an enjoyable time if you like reading. This is especially u 73 when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become lost in a book.

Next, you can read a book a 74 : in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed —even in the bath. All you n 75 is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.

A 76 good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it. This m 77 that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much e 78 . Many school subjects depend on（依赖于）good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.

Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not t 79 . You have to be able to read to use a computer and, the better you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is never out of date!

Good readers are most likely to be good w 80 , too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby, one of the best. W 81 other hobby could be more useful, or more enjoyable?

（七）Michel is a young girl who works for the police as a handwriting expert(专家). She has helped

c 72 many criminals by using her special talents.

Michel says that it is i 75 for people to hide their handwriting. She can discover most of

w 76 she needs to know just by looking at the writing with her own eyes. She also has machines t 77 help her make out different kinds of paper and ink. This knowledge is o 78 great help to the police.

Michel believes that handwriting is a good sign of what kind of person the w 79 is. “I wouldn’t go out with a fellow i 80 I didn’t like his handwriting.” She

says. And she adds she fell in l 81 with her future husband, a young policeman after she studied his handwriting. It is later proved to be all right, however.

（八）Water and its importance to human life were the centre of the world’s attention last week. March 22nd was World Water Day and had the theme “Water for Life”.

There are more than one billion people in the world who live w 67 safe drinking water. The United Nations h 68 to cut this number in half by 2015. Solving s 69 a big problem seems like an unreal challenge（挑战）. But e 70 ，even teenagers, can do something to help. A teenage girl in the U.S. has set an example to others of her age around the world.

Rene Haggerty, 13, was awarded the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize for her work collecting waste batteries which p___71______ water.

In 2003, Haggerty went on a field trip to the Great Lakes Science Centre in Ohio. There, she saw an exhibition about how chemicals in old batteries h____72 the water of Lake Erie. Haggerty learnt that recycling the batteries was an easy way to solve the problem. “I think everybody can do it, because everyone u 73 batteries, and it can make a big difference.” With these words, she began her action in her area. She talked to the government and school. She got permission to start a recycling programmme in the school as well as the public libraries, hospitals and churches. With the help from her family, friends and l___74____ officers, she gathered, transported and made an educational video. Over the past two years, she collected four tons（吨）of batteries.
