The world of out-of-doors is full of secrets. And they are so interesting that quite a lot of people are busy studying them. All around us are birds, animals, trees and flowers. The facts about how they  1  and grow are as interesting as anything could be. Do you know that one of the greatest presidents of the USA spent hours and hours  2  birds? A businessman who lives near New York city became so  3  in insects that he began to collect them. He now has more than one thousand different kinds carefully  4  in glass boxes. Come then with me, and I will help you find some of nature’s secrets. Let us go  5  through the woods and fields. Here we shall find how a rabbit tells the other rabbits that there is danger. We shall  6  a mother bear and her young ones as they look for  7  and get ready for winter sleep. We shall watch bees dancing in the air to let other bees know  8  they can find food. I will show you many other interesting things, but the thing that I can  9  you is to keep your eyes and ears  10  when you go out of doors. Nature tells her secrets only to people who look and listen carefully.

From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and weekends they are free and  31 themselves. Some watch television or go to the cinema, others take part in sports. This is decided by their own   32  .
There are many different ways to spend our free time.
Almost everyone has some kind of   33  : it may be something from collecting stamps to ____34___ model planes. Some hobbies are very   35 , but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth(值得…的)  36 of money, others are valuable(有价值的) only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several   37  dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare(罕见的)fifty-cent piece which   38  him $250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder(怀疑) if they are worth any money. However,  39  my brother they are quite valuable.
 40  makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.

Dear Kitty,
I am sorry that I did not write to you earlier because I have been very busy. I was helping    with a charity show to raise money    31   Project Green Hope. A lot of work needed to be finished, so I did not have much free time.
I felt very happy when I    32   to be the host. It was exciting,    33  I was also very nervous. I know that lots of people would come    34   the show and many pop stars would come, too. My job was to    35   each star and I also had many other duties.
We practiced a lot before the show. I had to remember to look at the right camera at the right time. At first, I thought I would never be    36   to remember all the words.
The big day came very quickly, and I was so excited. Twenty minutes before the big event, we    37   the doors and many people came into the theatre to watch the show. The fans of the pop stars were making a lot of noise, so I had to speak    38  .
A lot of    39   has been given to Project Green Hope. I hope more events like this will be organized to raise money for charity and I think more people should be    40   to take part in them.
See you soon .
Best wishes!
Ricky
