Dear Dick,

　　How are the things with you? Have you

1．________

had a good summer? Where do you go for your

2．________

summer holidays? What have you and Pat been doing? I

miss both you a lot. My French course

3．________

was coming to a close. My French teacher is

4．________

very friendly. She's so patient with every

5．________

of us. She not only teaches our French. She

6．________

also takes us out and shows us around. I've

7．________

gone to the Arcade Triomphe and the Louvre.

8．________

I've never seen so splendid collections of works

9．________

of art .You must come to Paris one of these day.

10．________

　　See you in London in September.

Yours

Jim

Wilt is taller and stronger than other man. He is

1．________

sometimes called a giant. He is so taller that he

2．________

had a special, extra-long bed to sleep and a special

3．________

car with enough of space for his long legs. Basket

4．________

ball is a game for the tall and the strong. And Wilt

5．________

was more than that. There were other players big as

6．________

Wilt, but no one also were so skillful at shooting

7．________

baskets and jump up high to get rebounds. During

8．________

his playing days, Wilt was paid for about 200 000

9．________

a year. That was how the President of the United

10．________

States earned for being President.

　　My dog, hero, isn't afraid of most things. But he is afraid of the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器). He

 always

hide himself when Mum cleans the house.

1．________

　　A few weeks ago, Mum took my new baby

2．________

sister to home. Her name is Barbie. She has

a room of her own. Hero seems to know this.

　　Last Saturday, Mum began to clean the living -

room, there Hero was. Barbie was sleeping

4．________

in her room. Hero jumped out from under

5．________

a chair and ran toward Barbie's room. He sat down at the

door. Mum went on the work. She came closer

6．________

and closer Hero. But he didn't move at all.

7．________

Then Mum ran the cleaner right up to her

8．________

front foot. Hero shook all over. But he didn't

9．________

let Mum to get by.“You can't take the

10．________

cleaner into Barbie's room,”he seemed to say.

　　A tree frog is less an inch long, yet its

1．________

loud, clear call can be hear almost a mile away.

2．________

It is hard to find the position of the sound

and even though the creature may

3．________

be sit nearby. Probably more persons hear than

4．________

ever watch the tiny animal. Only the full - grown

5．________

frog can sing, and the action is an interesting

6．________

and surprising sight to watch. The tree frog sits on

its hind legs, makes the sound. Its white neck

7．________

is filled up when it looks like a shiny

8．________

ball about burst. With the mouth

9．________

close the frog makes it's sound. The part

10．________

under its jaw is then a bag of loose skin.

　Some of us think that we can learn English well

1． _____

if we learn the grammar rules and remember as much

2． _____

words as we can. But I don't agree to them. I don't

3． _____

think its enough only to memorize rules from a grammar

4． _____

book or learn by heart a lot of words. We must learn

5． _____

through practice (实践), I think. That was to say,

6． _____

we must learn English with listening, speaking,

7． _____

reading and writing. So we'd better to speak

8． _____

English both in and out of class and keep on to read

9． _____

and listening whenever we can. In this way, we can

learn English good.
