Dear Peter,

　　I'm writing to ask you some advice. Babara

1．________

and me are getting very worried about Tom. He

2．________

has been staying out very late at night or is

3．________

Always so tired to do well in school. He wouldn't

4．________

listen anything we say. We have tried not to

5．________

give him pocket money, and it doesn't do any good.

6．________

I'm afraid he is sure of that we are just trying

7．________

to make him to do what we want to prove (证明)

8．________

we are strong, but the fact is that we were worried

9．________

about his future. I know you and Kate can help me.

10．________

Any advice would be very welcome.

Yours,

Mike

　　late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent

1．________

in the middle of the field. As soon as this was done it,

2．________

they had cooked a meal over an open fire. They were

3．________

all hungry and the food smelt well. After a wonderful

4．________

meal, they said stories and sang songs by the camp

5．________

fire. But some times later it began to rain. The boys

6．________

felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into his

7．________

tent. Their sleep-bags warm and comfortable, so

8．________

they all slept soundly: At the middle of the night,

9．________

one of the boys woke up or began shouting. The tent

10．________

had been flooded.

It is believed that before write was developed,

1．________

people in China used to keep records by putting the

2．________

number of stones together. After writing was developed,

3．________

people carved words on animal bones. Later, words carved

4．________

on metal pots. Then people wrote on pieces of bamboo and wood

5．________

and these were tied together to from a book.

6．________

At the same time, other kind of paper was made

7．________

from silk. Because it was expensive, so people invented

8．________

another kind of paper. This kind of paper was so soft

9．________

and light as silk but much more expensive for

10．________

everyday use.
