Mr．Black has two cats．One is much big,

1．________

and other is quite small．He likes them very

2．________

well．One morning, Mr．King, one of his friends,

3．________

came to see him．When he saw two holes on

4．________

the wall-a big hole and a small one, he was

5．________

surprising and asked,“Why are there two holes,

6．________

my old friend?”“Let the cat in and out of,”Mr．

7．________

Black answered．“But doesn’t one hole enough?”

8．________

asked for the friend．“Do you think that the big

9．________

cat can go over the small hole?”replied Mr．Black．

I was standing in park garden when I saw a mother

1．________

leading her little daughter towards a mass of Chinese rose

2．________

so I could see that the little girl was blind．The mother

3．________

set the hand of her daughter on a rose flower and telling

4．________

her it is “a red rose flower”．The little girl bowed her

5．________

head to the flower and breathed deep, saying, “What a nice

6．________

smell!” Joy shone on mother face and her eyes were full of

7．________

happiness and kindness．I found the girl’s face so lovely

8．________

as the flowers．The mother and the daughter stepped some

9．________

other places then．How happy they were looked!

Dear Xiao Hua,

It is four days since Mother accepted the operation．

1．________

She is feeling much more better．The doctors told me

2．________

the operation was successful, but because her old age

3．________

she had to stay in hospital for other two weeks．The

4．________

doctors also say it was quite necessary for her to

5．________

do so．We expect to get a full report in two and three

6．________

days．Please tell the good news to the rest of family

7．________

as soon as possible．You needn’t to come here．I’m

8．________

able to look after Mother by myself．You’d better

9．________

send flowers to Mother．She will feel happily．

10．________

Yours,

Xiao Hui

It was the sixteenth of December．Mary went a ride in the bus

1．________

to see Covent Garden．She bought a ticket to the conductor．

2．________

When she got on she could smell the fruit and flowers in the market．

3．________

She noticed that everyone seemed to being in a hurry．Some men were

4．________

carried large boxes of vegetables, and others were trying to sell big Christmas trees．

5．________

As Mary looked at them, she thought over her own home．

6．________

The most wonderfully moment of all the year was when she saw the

7．________

Christmas tree with its candles lighted．Before she went to the bed

8．________

on Christmas Eve she used to go outside and saw the snow on

9．________

the mountains and frosty light of the stars in the dark blue sky．

10．________

She was glad that she was going home for Christmas．

Jack had gone to the university to study the history but at the end of his

1．________

first year, his history professor failed him in his examinations, and he told

2．________

that he would have to leave the university．However, his father decided

3．________

he would go to see the professor to ask her to let Jack to continue his studies the following year．

4．________

“If you let him pass this time, I’m surely he’ll improve a lot

5．________

next year and pass the examinations at the end of it real well,” he said

6．________

“No, that’s quite possible!” replied the professor．“Do you know

7．________

last month I asked him when Napoleon died, and he not know!”

8．________

“Please, sir, give him other chance,” said Jack’s father．“You see, I am afraid

9．________

we don’t have any newspapers in our house, so none of us even know．”
