　　The house next door had been empty for so long that we had quite forgotten what it was to have neighbors．One day, 　　1　　, a great furniture lorry drew up near our front gate and in a short time, all kinds of furniture were 　　2　　 on the pavement．A small car arrived, out of which came seven people, a man, a woman and five children of 　　3　　 ages．The children hurried out and began laughing 　　4　　 as the whole family moved into the house．Windows were 　　5　　 opens furniture was put into 　　6　　; and little faces looked curiously at us over the fence and disappeared．It was our first 　　7　　 to the Robinsons．

　　Though we became firm 　　8　　 with our new neighbors, we often had causes to be made angry by them．Our garden became an unsafe place：little boys 　　9　　 as cowboys or Indians would jump up from behind bushes, 　　10　　 wooden guns at us and 　　11　　 us to put our hands up．Sometimes our lives were 　　12　　; at others, we were killed with a 　　13　　“Bang!Bang!”．Even more dangerous were the arrows that occasionally came sailing 　　14　　 the garden fence．

　　But we did not 　　15　　 go in fear for our lives．The Robinsons were friendly and helpful and when we left for the holidays, we knew we had nothing to fear 　　16　　 our neighbors were around．We understood what it was like to have 　　17　　 in the long, friendless, winter evenings 　　18　　．Mr．Robinson would 　　19　　 in for a cup of tea and chat;or when Mr．Robinson would 　　20　　 over the fence and talk endlessly with father about gardening problems．
