I like my Chinese teacher very much. He is a   16   man, about 25 years old. He is tall    17   black short hair. He is a very humorous(幽默的) person. He often    18  us jokes(笑话) and  19  to make our class more   20   . In class, he is a very   21   teacher. If we don’t listen to him carefully, he will give us some punishment(惩罚) by  22   us some questions. But after class, he becomes a very good    23   of us. He often talks with the girls and plays   24   with the boys. All of us really like him. He is our    25     teacher.

When I was in the middle school, my  1  did an exchange(交流) with a French school.Some of my classmates and I went to  2  in France.The school was in a small and beautiful town.One of my  3 , Robin, was staying with a family.The family had a yard of  4 .One evening, Robin’s host mother asked him which his  5  chicken was.Robin looked at the chickens, and  6  a lovely one.So he pointed(指) at it.

 7  that evening, dinner was ready, and it was a roast chicken（烤鸡）.The host mother was very proud(骄傲的) and asked.“ 8  do you like your chicken?” At that time, Robin 9  what “favorite” meant.Oh, my poor chicken! After that, Robin felt  10  for days because he thought he made the chicken die(死).He also thought it was very delicious, though.

A true friend is always helpful. I didn’t believe it   36  one thing happened to me when I was in Grade 7.

Li Jie was one of my classmates. He and I were also neighbours. He always listened to his mother   37  I didn’t like listening to my mother. I didn’t think it was necessary for  38  to teach me anything. Li Jie knew all about that but he said   39  to me.

One weekend, Li Jie invited me to watch a film. I liked films very much so I went to the   40  with him happily. The film was about the love between a   41  and her son. After watching it, I began to know how great the love of the mother was. I felt   42  that I didn’t listen to my mother before. I decided to think more about my mother than about   43 . After I told that to him, Li Jie smiled and said, “It’s really necessary for you to watch such a film. That was a good choice (选择) for both you and me.”

Suddenly, I knew   44  he invited me to watch the film. Just at that time, I knew a true friend is always   45 .

“You are my best friend.” It’s the nicest thing you can    36     to someone. It’s also the nicest thing you can    37    someone.

Good friendships begin in middle school. It’s the    38    you begin to develop your own personality. Your parents aren’t around so you    39    lots of time every day sharing your life with your classmates. You talk with them, you work with them and you become friends with them. But    40    them will become your “best” friend.

Best friends are the people who like you and    41     you the most. They are the    42    who are easy to work with and easy to have fun with.

Sometimes it’s    43    to find a best friend. And sometimes you can     44    a little lonely. But just because you don’t have best friend now, it doesn’t mean you    45     one in the future. Best friends seem to find each other as if by magic. And when you find your best friend, the magic will last forever.

Mr. White is a farmer. Last month he 36 his truck to town and on the way his truck knocked down a  37  and hurt him. He sent the boy to a  38 at once. He paid a lot of money for that, but the boy’s  39 wanted to get more money from him. So they said their son could no longer lift his 40 arm above his head.

Mr. White’s lawyer(律师) came and asked the boy a few questions in the court(法庭). “Now, my boy,” he said, “you were hurt 41 , weren’t you?” “Yes, sir,” said the boy. “And you can’t lift your right arm now, can you?” “42 , sir.”

“Could you 43  us how you can lift your right arm?” Slowly the boy lifted his right arm before his nose. “Poor boy,” said the lawyer. “And how 44  could you lift it before the accident?” “Oh, very high,” said the boy proudly (自豪) and the arm went up right over his 45 .
