Once there was an    【小题1】   between the colors. Each color thought it was the best and most important. So each color looked down upon others. Here are their debates.
Green said: “Clearly I am the most important. I am the    【小题2】  of life and hope. I’m the color of grass, trees and leaves.    【小题3】   me, all animals would die.”
Yellow laughed: “I bring happiness and warmth into the world. Every time people look at a yellow sunflower, they start to smile. Without me there    【小题4】   be no fun.”
Orange shouted: “I am the color of    【小题5】  and strength. I have the most important vitamins (维生素). Think of carrots,    【小题6】  and oranges. When I appear in the sky, everyone is shocked at my beauty and nobody gives another thought to any of you.”
Red could no    【小题7】   stand it, “I am the color of danger and bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood.”
Their voices   【小题8】   louder and louder. The thunder(雷) got angry and the rain started to pour. When they became calm, the rain said, “You foolish colors. Don’t you know that each of you is unique (独一无二)? If you don’t agree, just follow me.” They did as the rain told   【小题9】   and together made the most    【小题10】   rainbow (彩虹).

It was Christmas Day．Tina was alone in the great city house．Her parents went to the hospital because their oldest boy was ill．
"What a boring Christmas!" Tina thought to herself． At that moment，she  【小题1】 music in the street． She ran to the window and saw a little boy  【小题2】．He was singing and beating a drum．Tina saw that he wore no 【小题3】．
"Are you cold?" asked Tina．
The little boy smiled，but she couldn't hear 【小题4】   he said．So she told him to come in． He was a little nervous，but the carpet (地毯) felt warm to 【小题5】  poor feet．He told Tina that his name was Guido．And he was  【小题6】 poor that he had to go singing from house to house for some money to buy his dinner．
"My mama is away，and I am   【小题7】a sad Christmas．But I'll try to make it nice 【小题8】 you，" said Tina．They played games and Guido sang to her．Then they had a big dinner． Guido was very happy．
That night，Tina told her mother， " Now I know something．Whenever you 【小题9】 sad and lonely，find somebody  【小题10】 and lonelier than yourself and cheer them up．It will make you feel all right． "

My children are【小题1】   up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger our house seems to get【小题2】  . So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a【小题3】     home.
We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have 【小题4】   to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite 【小题5】   at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them. For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his【小题6】   birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either.
He 【小题7】    next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with【小题8】    toys.
As for 【小题9】   , I did not want to give up my football shirts, but, to be【小题10】   , I have not played for a while now. I am getting older, too!

Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may  【小题1】 time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can turn up   【小题2】  bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can  【小题3】bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice  【小题4】 to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.

When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.
When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep   【小题1】  .
When I was two     【小题2】   through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from     1    【小题3】   .
When I   【小题4】  _and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up.
When I was seven coughing badly, she said    【小题5】   ice cream for me.
But I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”
When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreams.
But I shouted back     【小题6】  , “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”
When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back   【小题7】  ten!”
【小题8】   I talked back again----“I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”
Now I’m an adult, thinking back to     【小题9】   times.
I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream.
And had scary dreams after watching that film.
I was late for school from staying out past ten.
I regret talking back, not listening to Mom.
Mom knows best,  【小题10】   for me she wanted only the best！
