Twenty-four years ago, a German boy, Frank, threw a special bottle off a ship. So many years later, a 13-year-old 【小题1】 (Canada) boy, Barry Hall, found it in the sand. At that time he 【小题2】 (dig) a hole and playing with his friend on the beach. “I saw that bottle.” Barry told, “and there was a message, with 【小题3】 address in it.” It said, “My name is Frank, and I’m ten years old. I have a bad illness. Mr. Cooper saved me and 【小题4】 (treat) me so that I became much better. I missed school for 【小题5】 (many) than five weeks already. To be honest, I’m really worried about my subjects at school, especially chemistry. 【小题6】 I’m still unable to go back to the class, I will study by 【小题7】 (I). I think I can increase my knowledge 【小题8】 this way. I believe the future will be fine! Dear friend, if you find this letter, please write back to me.”

In fact, at that time, Barry had a difficult time in his life as well. 【小题9】, Frank’s words encouraged him. Instead of giving up, he decided 【小题10】 (face) the difficulties and work hard.

My friend Bruce isn’t tall enough but likes doing sports. He’s good at r【小题1】 and playing basketball, s【小题2】 he is stronger than us all. Last summer Bruce went to see his grandpa. The old man lives on a farm. He likes a【小题3】 and he has three dogs, two cats and a horse. Bruce wanted to l【小题4】 to ride a horse. He asked his grandpa to teach him. The old man a【小题5】. At first he rode c【小题6】 and soon he enjoyed himself there. One afternoon Bruce rode the horse a【小题7】. When it walked by a horse, a large dog ran out. The horse was very a【小题8】 and began to run away quickly. Bruce fell down and h【小题9】 his leg. The horse pulled him to a tree and then ran to call a doctor. “What a c【小题10】 horse!” I said after my friend told me about it half a month later. “I don’t think so,” said Bruce. “It came back with a vet(兽医)!”

How time flies! Now we are in the 【小题1】 (nine) grade. Our junior high school years will come to an end in several months, 【小题2】 I still remember the first time when we came to the school. We came from different places and we met 【小题3】 the first time, so we didn’t know each other. In the past three years, we have not only experienced lots of difficulties, but also had many beautiful 【小题4】 (memory) in our school life. We once 【小题5】 (fight), and then we made peace with each other. We are good friends now.

I remembered that our school held 【小题6】 sports meeting last autumn. We came to school 【小题7】 (early) than usual. Although it was September and it was a little cold, we didn’t feel cold at all. We ran, jumped and cheered for 【小题8】 (we) teammates. 【小题9】 (luck), we won the first prize in our school. How happy we were!

I will put all of these 【小题10】 (value) things in my heart forever.
