Dear Peter,

　　I'm writing to ask you some advice. Babara

1．________

and me are getting very worried about Tom. He

2．________

has been staying out very late at night or is

3．________

always so tired to do well in school. He wouldn't

4．________

listen anything we say. We have tried not to

5．________

give him pocket money, and it doesn't do any good.

6．________

I'm afraid he is sure of that we are just trying

7．________

to make him to do what we want to prove(证明)

8．________

we are strong, but the fact is that we were worried

9．________

about his future. I know you and Kate can help me.

10．________

Any advice would be very welcome.

　　Last week my parents and I took a two-day trip to Emei

Mountain in Sichuan. As everyone knows, it's famous

1．________

mountain with all kinds of plants and animals. The weather

2．________

was fine. It was about noon we arrived at the foot of

3．________

the mountain. The three of them were very excited. As we

4．________

climbed the mountain, we fed monkeys, visiting temples

5．________

and told stories. on the way up I was busy taking picture

6．________

since the scenery was so beautiful. The time passes quickly.

7．________

Evening came down. We spent the night in a hotel at the top

8．________

of the mountain. The food was expensive and the service was

9．________

good. I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my

10．________

head touched the pillow(枕头).

　　We drink tea every day. But more than three

hundred years ago the most of the people in Europe

1．________

didn't know anything with tea. Some people had

2．________

heard about it, but very little of them knew

3．________

what to do it.

4．________

　　There is a story about an English sailor who

went to countries to the east, the west and the

5．________

south. He had gone to India and China. One day he

6．________

came home and brought some tea as a present to his

7．________

mother. She told her friends about the present and

8．________

asked them to a“tea party”. When her friends came

to the“tea party”, the old woman offered them brown

tea leaves. The old woman's friends began to eat

them. Of course, somebody liked the tea leaves.

9．________

　　At that time the sailor came in. He looked at the

table and said,“Mother, what have you done about with

10．________

the tea?”

　　“I boiled it, as you said.”

　　“And what did you do with the water?”

　　“I threw it away, of course, ”answered the old woman.

　　“Now you may throw away the leaves too, ”said her son.

　　One day a young man was writing a letter to his best

1．________

friend who lived just a few miles in a nearby town.

2．________

Among other things, he was telling her how much he

loved her and how wonderfully he thought she was. The

3．________

more he wrote, the less poetic(有诗意的)he became.

4．________

Finally, he said that to be with her he would suffer the

greatest difficulties, he would face the greatest dangerous

5．________

that anyone can imagine. In fact, to spend only one minute

with her, he would climb the tallest mountain, swim across

6．________

the widest river, enter the deepest forest, or fight the

7．________

fiercest(凶猛)animals in the world.

　　He finished the letter, signed his name and then suddenly

remembered that if he had forgotten something quite

8．________

importance. In a postscript(附言)below his name, he

9．________

added, “By the way, I'll be over to see you on

Wednesday night if it won't rain.”

10．________

　　My favorite sport is football. I was a member of

1．________

our school football team. We practice for three times

2．________

every week and often watch football match on TV

3．________

together. Play football not only makes us grow up

4．________

tall and strong but also give us a sense of fair play and

5．________

team spirit. We must keep in mind that we play

6．________

for the team instead ourselves. Also, the sport

7．________

teaches us the important of obedience(服从). Each

8．________

player must obey captain, who is the leader of

9．________

the team. And they must not break the rules too

10．________

often if we want to with the game.
