Some newspapers are published once a week，b（85） most of the papers are published once a day with many pages，some even published twice a day! You know different people enjoy reading different newspapers．Some like world news，and others prefer short stories．They just choose what they are i（86） in．

"Here:you（4） the onions，you dig the holes，and…" Soon they would be（5） or their arms would be sore（酸痛的）， and they would leave me to myself．
But during a recent spring,（6） I was working in the garden， my 13﹣year﹣old son， Josiah noticed me． He（7） a tool and began helping． Working as a team， we finished the job in no time at all． I（8） Josiah， realising that I'd enjoyed working with him．
The same thing happened﹣one or two of the（9） would appear and join in the gardening from time to time． Each time， I would feel（10） that the work was lighter because of their help．
One day， when I was picking the peas（豌豆） and having a taste（11） ， Abby saw me and ran over． I put several peas into her mouth． She just loved how （12） they were．

Finally， I'm sure we'll make the town better（9） we don't drop litter． If we all do something（10） （help） now， our town will be much better for everyone in the future．

No smoking in public places is good for people's （7） （健康）． 400， 000 people in England have given up smoking（8） （慢慢地） and the number of people with heart problems has fallen by more than 2%． It also has a good （9） （影响） on non﹣smokers． For example， the number of children with asthma has dropped by around 20%．
