I ____ perhaps a bit more birthday cheer was needed here. I bought some balloons, birthday hats, and ___ novelties(新颖小巧而价廉的物品) at a store.

Other people ____ what we were doing and ____ their voices, so it really sounded like we had a party going on!
Then I bought her a small present and a card as ____ planned. The real fun was packing them to be sent. I ____ everything so it was like opening a mini birthday party! At the last minute I added a pack of cupcakes and a box of birthday candles ____ sending them off. I got a call a few days later.

Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich 5soil. It was on the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward 6(move) took place 7because the English were searching for better land than the population was increasing. Settlements of the west part of both countries developed quickly after gold 8(discover) in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.
Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some 9(strike) differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, 10(like) the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.

Which of the types of mass transit 5(describe) below are you familiar with? If a regular bus can hold dozens of people, imagine what a bus 6 (two) the size can hold! In Great Britain, there are many buses that are known as double-deckers (cars with two floors).
Buses in Haiti are often very crowded. It’s not 7(common) for passengers to actually sit on the rooftops. Buses are sometimes called “tap-taps”, because the 8(ride) on the roof tap（敲击）when they want to be dropped off.
Many large cities around the world take advantage of the space beneath the streets and run underground trains. People in Paris, Mexico City and Tokyo may use the subway system to get to school, to work, or to visit friends in other 9 (neighbor). Both the Japanese and French have developedHigh-speed trains to link various cities. While electric trains in North America average 130 kph, the French TGV (high-speed-train) is the world’s fastest, 10(average) over 270 kph!
