This makes many animals l3.their food and homes. Every day, many thousands of animals lose their lives b4. of people.
Many hundreds of kinds of animals are in d5.. They may disappear(消失) one day if people do nothing to s6.them. And once they disappear, they will never r7. any more!
Every animal has its place in nature. People s8. learn to share the world with them. L9., many people are doing something to make the world a better place for both man and animals. And Many countries pass laws , too. I10. more people start to care about animals, animals will live a happier life. I do believe there will be a better future for animals.

Because of my “lazy mother”, I have to wash my clothes and clean my room. I have to help my parents do h6.. I e7. have to go to the dentist by myself. It is really h8. for me to do everything well.
As time goes by, I u9. my mother. She makes me clever and diligent (勤奋的) . I think a g10. mother is worth(等值于) one hundred teachers! Don’t you think so?
Everyone wants a true friend. But what’s a true friend l1.? A true is one who can give you

about your worries. A true friend is b4.than a good friend. A true friend will come over
to h5.you without any request（要求） and be with you in n6.. A true friend is like
a mother who is just a true friend of her c7.. Instead of having hundreds of good friends,
if you have a true friend, you are l8.. Sometimes it is much e9.for us to receive butmore difficult to give, so be a true friend yourself f10.if you want to have a true friend.
If you think of after-school activities as a waste(浪费)of t1., you are wrong! After-school activities can help us grow up in many ways. They o2. us chances(机会) to practise what we learn in class. Through activities, we can also learn more a3. today's society(社会)and a lot of new things that we can't learn from our b4.. What's more, they help to develop our abilities that we need both for our studies now and for our work and life in the f5. .
We are busy with our studies in school. Many students like to stay in the classroom to do homework i6. of going out to relax(放松). I hope the students can have l7. homework and have more time to do after-school activities. Some will make us s8. and healthy; some may even change our life. After-school activities just make it possible for us to breathe(呼吸) f9. air and remove tiredness(消除疲劳). Then, we can pay attention to(注意) our studies and get good grades. So, all the students, come out and take p10. in after-school activities!

There was a naughty (调皮地)little boy a1. the children . One day he caught a bird and held it in his cupped hands . Then he gathered his fingers (手指) around . He said “Let’s trick the old woman. I’ll a2. her what I’m h3. in my hands . Of course ,she’ll answer that I have a b4. . Then I will ask her if (是否)the bird is living or dead . If she says the bird is dead ,I’ll o5. my hands and let the bird fly away . If she says the bird is alive , I’ll quickly crush(压碎) it and show her the dead bird .Either way , she’ll be w6. .”

Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice o1. healthy eating.
Eat with o2.. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.
Listen to your body. Ask y3. if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty—sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop e4. before you feel full.
Eat b5.. The breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body n6. food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.
Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need s7. sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your t8. meals. This doesn’t mean that you can only eat a bag of chips.
Don’t eat dinners l9.. With our busy life, we always put off(推迟) eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours b10. you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest(消化) most of the food before you rest for the next 8—10 hours.
