Dear Mom and Dad,
I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t 21 about me. You know that Alice is one of my 22 friends. If you want to talk with me, you can 23 68610598 after 6:00 pm.
Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will 24 me to do so if I tell you first. 25 I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid 26 . I hope I can make decisions for 27 .
At home, there are too many 28 for me to obey: Don’t stay out so 29 ; don’t have meals before 30 hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be 31 teenagers, but we need freedom, too.
I don’t like doing my homework 32 at home. I’d love to study 33 Alice. We can learn a lot from each other. 34 please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you 35 , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.
Yours,
Lillian

As a single mother of four children and working at a low-paid job, I couldn’t get enough money for the family, but we had ____ on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always enough. Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was ____. I’ve always been glad about that.

On the way home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, ____ my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually ____. She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything ____ we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, ready to be angry again.
This is what she told me: “I was looking ____, thinking of what to buy, and I ____ to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she ____ for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so ____ as I did that day.

Do you know that you can use the Internet to buy things? For several , Americans have enjoyed online shopping. Now online shopping is starting in the world. In many countries, people can their computers and shop for clothes, food, toys and many other things.
Online shopping is in fashion in England. For example, the ABC Company is one of the biggest in 15 European countries. It sells different kinds of things over the Internet, and in one year it made ＄100 million. In France, until last year online shopping was only possible one web page. Then the government allowed more online shopping. The Frenchmen spend much money a year things through these web pages. French businesses are hoping this new online shopping will help them sell more things in the future.
Some people like online shopping because it allows them to do shopping without leaving their homes. And they don’t have the problems of traffic in the cities. But they usually worry the quality of the things for sale over the Internet. Good quality is to them. So the companies will have to be more careful about the quality of the things sell. Because people always care about both the quality the price. Enjoy online shopping!

As a teenager， I am often asked what I am going to be in the future．A lawyer? A doctor? Or a scientist? No， my ideal career is to be a teacher．One of the for that is I want to be a teacher like Mr. Chen.
“Look! Do you know what it is? A-ha， it’s the ! And it will always move around the sun.” Mr. Chen said and pointed to his head．He then touched the nose and ， “Can you tell me the name of this mountain? It is the highest mountain on Earth! What’s the of it? Yes， it’s 8844.43 metres…” I’ll never forget my first geography lesson．He was humorous that we all fell in love with his lessons ．It’s Mr. Chen who opened the door of geography for us.
Generally speaking， most of the teachers are strict students and sometimes a little bit demanding（苛求的）， not so with Mr. Chen．He is a lighthouse， showing us the way to the treasure of knowledge．He is a friend and easy to get with， always encouraging us to speak out loud without our shyness and other disadvantages．He is an example， volunteering his time to students and other teachers．
One day I happened to meet him in the hospital．Seeing the cut on his arm， I realized he was donating his ．I was moved and was another lesson， a lesson of love and devotion.
Every time I see my globe（地球仪）， it would me of Mr. Chen．He is the most unforgettable teacher I have met and he will always be．Someday I hope I am to be a teacher like him.

Thank you for helping me to discover what I do best and to do it even .
Thank you for understanding all of us and giving us the time and care each of us needs.
