I'm a terrible cook. I've tried hard and it's no use. I have

（1）_______

got lots of cookery book. I choose a dish I want to cook

（2）_______

it, read the recipe（食谱）, prepare all the necessary

（3）_______

ingredients（配料）and to follow the instructions. But the

（4）_______

result is terrible, and I just had a sandwich of some

（5）_______

others quick snacks（快餐）. So I often eat out. I don't like

（6）_______

grand restaurants. It's not the cost. It is just that I don't

（7）_______

feel ease in them. First the waiter gives me a menu

（8）_______

which can't understand because it is complicated and has

（9）_______

lots of foreign words. At the end of the meal when I cost the

（10）_______

bill, I never know how much to leave as a tip. I prefer fast food

places, like hamburger（汉堡包）shops where you pay at once and

sit down to eat straight away.

　　When I found out that my train would three hours

（1）_______

late, I changed my idea and would get a bus instead.

（2）_______

I was about to rush out of the train station while a

（3）_______

well-dressed old man took me on the arm.“Young

（4）_______

lady,”said the gentleman.“shouldn't you find out

（5）_______

the bus schedule（时间表）after you rush to catch the

（6）_______

bus?”I stared at him with my mouth opened. How did

（7）_______

he read my mind? Before I could say any-thing more, he

（8）_______

added,“You see, my train is still running late. The same

（9）_______

idea came to me. But I think good conversation help pass

（10）_______

me:“A life of senior middle school is unforgettable.”

seemed unpleasant. Face all the strange things around me,

I often miss my old friends and classmates. I didn't want

(5)______

to talk others or make friends with others. Little by little, my

(6)______

school record went from bad to worse, especially my

(7)______

maths. I couldn't even pass the exam. I lost the heart and

(8)______

missed the happy times all day long. I told me,“I don't

(9)______

belong to it. I don't like the life here.”
