In the past in many countries , the father worked and the mother stayed home ,took       of the children ,and did the food shopping, cooking and cleaning.  At present , in most of the families , parents need work on weekdays, so they  have to do the shopping, cooking and cleaning in their free time.

These days ,many children come home        school to an empty apartment or house .A lot of children spend many hours      day in front of the television .Even the families are together, it is common for families members to do things by themselves. For example, they     programs on separate TVs in different rooms, they use the Internet, they       friends on the telephone, and they do other individual by themselves.
Isn’t it strange? Thanks to technology（科技）, people are able to communicate so      with people far away, but sometimes they don’t communicate with people their own homes.

Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate with them politely.
How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space.
Do you know How to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.
Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other countries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk.

Dear neighbors,
We are writing this letter to you because our school has started a group. It is called “Help the Environment”. It works to look after the environment.
Here are some interesting facts that our group has learnt:
Most things that we throw away can be reused or recycled（再利用）.
Some European countries, for example, Germany, already recycle half of their waste.
90% of people in the country would like to recycle more.
We think that most people would agree with these statements:
We need to recycle our waste, not use up the world’s sources（资源）.
It is better to recycle waste than to burn it in the earth or the sea.
Our environment group has decided that one of the best things we can do is collect reusable waste. We will sell this waste to recycling companies and give the money to Friends of the Earth. We would like people living near the school to bring their recyclable waste to the school. But if you are too busy, we will collect it from you once a week.
We hope that you will agree to this. If you do, please give sign the statement below this letter.
Yours,
John Cooper

Trees are greatly useful to man in three very important ways.
The first important way is that they provide man with food, wood and other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees many animals could not live on the earth. It's not easy for man to live on the earth, either.
The second important way is that trees give us shade（阴凉处）. On a hot summer day, people are looking forward to having a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and to animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent drought（旱灾） and floods（水灾）. However, in many parts of the world, man has not realized the third important way. They cut trees down in large numbers. There will be fewer trees in the future.
People should protect trees, or they will find that they have lost the best friends they had in the end.
根据短文内容填空，每句词数不限。

My two little daughters and I usually go out and help others on Thankful Thursday. Last Thursday we were going to buy lunch for the beggars（乞丐）in the street. Then we went to the nearest McDonald’s（麦当劳）.
I ordered 15lunches from it and drove my car to hand them out.
We gave the lunches to the beggars. they were excited. We were happy to see that.
Then we noticed a small, old woman, asking for pocket money. We gave her our last lunch bag. Before we got into the car, she started to speak to us, "No one has ever done anything like this for me before, "she said with a smile. "Well, I’m glad that we were the first, “I answered. "So, when will you eat your lunch," I asked.
She just looked at me with her big, tired brown eyes and said, "OH, dear, I'm not going to eat this lunch. You see, I have a little girl of my own .I usually can’t buy her favorite food, but today she will be so happy! "
I don't know if the kids noticed the tears in my eyes. I have asked many times whether our Actions of Kindness were too small to change anything. Yet at that moment, I realized the truth of words: "We cannot do great things —only small things with great love."
