When I was a kid, I liked summer best. 36 ? Because I could do what I like. I could go 37 at the pool. I could 38 my beautiful skirts. And of course there 39 no school. But autumn (秋天) is my 40 season now.
Summer is too hot, so I always 41 in the house. I 42 like it. Winter is usually too 43 . I don’t like to go outside and I have to wear lots of warm clothes. In spring (春天) it usually rains. It’s my second favorite season.
Autumn is the best. It isn’t too hot 44 too cold. The temperature (温度) is 45 18℃and 22℃. It’s a great time of the year. I like it.

her home she had shoes on . H
, they were much too large for her f
---shoes that her mother had used till then and the poor little girl l
them when she was running across the street when two carriages(四轮马车) were p
by terribly fast. When she looked for them, one was not to be found, and a boy hid the o
and ran away with it, saying he would use it as a house for his mouse.
In the old c that she wore were boxes of matches, and she carried a box also in her hand. No one had bought so much as a box all the long day, and no one had g
her even a penny.
Poor little girl, shaking with cold and hunger, she walked slowly, q and carefully along , a perfect picture of great unhappiness.
