Fire can 36 many things. It is dangerous to everyone, but it is 37 useful. We cannot live without 38.In other words, fire is both the 39 and enemy of us. This 40 on whether we use it wisely or not.
To the people 41 live in the forest area, fire is particularly dangerous. It is the location 42 most of their houses are made of wood, which 43 catches fire. Especially in winter the air is 44 and the wind is often 45 .If one of these houses is on fire, the wind will 46 the fire to the neighboring houses quickly, and the fire will soon 47 all over the area. If this happens 48 , it may not be too bad. 49 if it happens at night, the situation will be very bad, for most people are 50 ,and many of them can
not run away in time. If they can, they will just 51 all the things behind. Some people even do not know 52 is going on, and they 53 in their dreams.

When a dish is 37 , the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would 38 every bit of the food on their plates.
As I was hungry, my local colleague 39 much food for me. Since there were other things to do, we did not 40 much time dining. When we planned to leave, there was still about one third of 41 food left. When we were leaving the restaurant, we 42 someone calling us.

Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I 16 a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more responsible. It’s round in the center with two silver bands(带) that 17 around my wrist and all of it is made of silver.
I received this 18 on a gray – sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to19 up my Uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house.20 , I was late because I was 21 out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I 22 my uncle, but I was very late for him. He had 23 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm that day and felt ashamed of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my 24 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Peter, did you have 25 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and 26 apologized for not meeting my Uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 27 was not very nice and you should be sorry for your action.” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again . I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 28 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 29 .
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to respect time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is 30 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

My husband and I sat outside. A small child about three came up the street, accompanied by her mother. As she saw another girl a few feet away, she gave her admiring comment, “Mommy, I like her dress.” Her mom 21 , “Well, why don’t you go and tell her?”
The little girl walked 22 toward the girl wearing the pretty dress. The other one,
23 the same age, was standing with her 24 turned, alongside her parents. They had not heard the compliment (赞美). Receiving no answer, this little one 25 . My husband said to the other girl, “ 26 wants to tell you something.” As she turned around, connection was made.
