Have you ever been cycling(骑自行车运动)?This spring my elder brother and I      (spend)a long weekend cycling in the countryside. We rode       (slow) along because we hadn't come to break any speed records, or to do sports. We just wanted       (get) some fresh air and a break from schoolwork. We really had a great time      (ride)along country roads. And there was one of the best things about our trip that made us happy: every few       (kilometer) there was a village where we could find everything we needed.

    All the local people were really friendly. However,       the second day, something happened. We were going down the hill when my brakes(刹车)started making       noise, but I didn't mind at all. At midnight we were woken by the noise in the hotel. We were tired      we set off the next morning, but soon felt cheerful when the sun came out.

    What we enjoyed      (our) most about cycling is-it's simple and fun. I think nothing is      (good) than cycling if you are looking for a break that is active and cheap. Why not have a try？

    A dog entered a butcher's shop with a note in his mouth. The note read, "$10 of lamb chops(羊排), please."

    The butcher was very       (surprise). He took the money, put a bag of chops in the       (dog)mouth, and then he closed the shop       (quick).He followed the dog and watched him wait for a green light. Then the dog crossed the road to a bus stop. He checked the timetable and sat on the bench. When a bus arrived, the dog checked the number and got       it.

    As the bus travelled out into the countryside, the dog enjoyed the scenery. After       while, he stood on his back paws(爪子)      (push)the "stop" button. Then the butcher followed       (he)off.

    The dog ran up to a house and dropped his bag on the ground. He went back down the path, took a big run, and       (throw)himself against the door. No answer. He repeated the action a few times. Then a big man opened the door       started complaining about the dos and beating him.

    Seeing this, the butcher ran up and shouted at the man, "What are you doing? This dog is a genius!" The man replied, "Genius? No way！He has forgotten his key for the       (four)time this month!"

    It was Sunday, Jack went to a barber's shop(理发店)to have       (he) hair cut. But he was not happy with the result. While he       (walk) along the street, he met his friend Bob.

    "What has happened to your hair?" Bob laughed and said.

    "I had       (an) bad day today! I didn't like my old hairstyle       I went to a new barber's shop. But this one seems even       (bad) than before, I am going to a party tonight, "Jack said       (sad).

    "Oh, that's really a problem. Now I'll tell you what       (do) when you go into a barber's shop next time: have a look       all the barber's hair, find out       hair looks worst, and then go straight to him."

    "Why?" Jack asked.

    "Who cut that       (man) hair? He couldn't cut it himself, could he? Another barber cut it. So you know he can't be the worst barber, "Bob said.

    Reading is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.

    First, reading is fun. You can always keep      happy if you like reading. You will never       (feeling) bored or tired.

    Next, you can read a book anywhere—in      car, on a plane, or even in the bathroom. All you need      (be) a book!

    Another good reason for reading is that it is      (use). If you read      a hobby, you will get better and better at it. And you will read faster and find it easier to understand      you read. As your reading skills improve, you will      (probable) find your schoolwork becomes much better.

    Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not true. You can read on computers, and the better you read, the      (good) your computer skills will be.

    Good readers may become      (writer) too. They always have more things to write about.

    The most      (value) gift I      (receive) is a photo album from my best friend Kevin. Kevin and I were classmates      all six years of primary school. We both liked playing football and listening to music, so we always had a lot of things to talk      . It is      (wonder) to have such a good friend.

          , last summer, Kevin had to move to another city because of his father's job. Then he gave me a photo album. "It has photos      the memorable events we      (experience) together. I've also      (write) some notes under each photo," he said. I was deeply      (move).

    I put the album beside my bed. I always look at it when I think of Kevin.
