Nobody moved inside the house. Mr. Brown knocked at the bedroom window, he spoke to his wife, he shouted, but she didn’t wake up. At last he stopped and thought for a moment.

Then he spoke to her, and she opened the door for him.

Once I went shopping on my first visit to Macao. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I enjoyed the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a        skirt. Not having much        to enjoy the sun in England, my legs were very white. In England this is not a fashionable look at all . Most women spend every sunny day out trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin, the better the look. I have tried to get darker but         works for me!
As I        one shop, the two shop assistants kept looking at my legs the whole time , talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend     we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained about the shop assistants being very impolite . They     be talking about my white skin. My friend laughed. “They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.       , there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them.”
It just shows that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is       greener on the other side. If the women of the West and East        the same way, Western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the        wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.

It’s possible to do many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick, if you follow the instructions, you will find it’s really interesting.
First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Jin Shang Road, you would write down 73. After you write down your house address number, you double it. Then add 5 to this doubled number. For example, if your address is 73 and you double it, you will get 146. Then you add 5, you will get 151.
And then, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, you’ll get 7550. The next step is to add your age to this total. For example, if you’re 16 years old, you should add 16 to this total. In our example here, the result will be 7566.
After that, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7566 is 7931.
The final step is this: Subtract 615 from the number that you have. Take away 615 from the total. In our example, 7931 minus 615 is 7316.
The result here—7316—is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73 is the address that we started with, and 16 is the age that we used.
Isn’t it interesting? Do you want to have a try now?
小题1:How many steps are there in the trick?
A. Four                          B. Seven                    C. Nine
小题2:The third step is ______.     
A. ＋5                           B. ×50                          C.－615

I played a tennis game against my cousin Ed last week, and I will never forget it.
I had played a lot of games before, but it was one of the most        games I’ve ever had. When Ed first phoned and suggested we play, I       quietly, thinking I was sure to beat him, because I didn’t think Ed could win any games with his fat body.
As long as I can remember: Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family, but strangely        of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often joked about that, Ed        to buy a larger T-shirt or to lose weight. So when Ed arrived for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could        notice. I was so surprised that I was speechless.
My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into       . As a result, at the point in our game, when I’d have predicted(预测) I would win the game by 9 to 1, it was        7 to 9 —and Ed was leading. The sudden realization was       . We continued to play like two       men. When the score was 16 up. I even thought if I could stay alive. When the game finally ended, my cousin and I were lying on the floor on our backs, too tired to move. In some ways, I think that we        won: I won the game, but Cousin Ed won my respect.

It’s fun to receive presents. It also feels good to give to others. So what’s the best way to budget(预算) your money, shop wisely and spend the least money if possible?
Susan Beacham, from a company that teaches money-management skills to kids, gives us some good advice.
“My first tip is to make a list and check it twice,” says Susan. She suggests that kids talk with their families about whom to include in their gift giving and how much to spend. Start by writing down names. Then put a dollar amount next to each name and add it up. Do you have enough money? If not, make changes. And don’t forget—not everyone needs a store-bought gift. Susan points out that some of the best presents are free. Add to your list the names of people you want to give gifts of “time and talent”.
The best gifts don’t cost a thing. Kids can give “time or talent”, says Susan Beacham. Here are some of her top gift ideas.
·For the elder members of your family, do something for them, such as cleaning houses and washing clothes.
·For a friend, create a work of art, like a poem, a drawing or a necklace.
·For teachers, write a note telling her how special she is to you.
·For the people who live around you, show that you care by volunteering. Find out who needs your help and what you can do. Giving your time to help others may end up being the best gift of all!
