Mrs. Smith is Lucy and Matt’s mom. She 【小题1】 (work) in the police station. She is a police 【小题2】 (art). She is good at 【小题3】 (draw). She thinks her job is very 【小题4】 (interest).

Last Monday evening, Mrs. Smith’s children and husband (丈夫) Mr. Smith 【小题5】 (be) at home. Mrs. Smith phoned her children and said, “I have to 【小题6】 (do) some more work. Ask Dad to make your dinner.” “Oh, no!” said Matt. “Dad 【小题7】 (not cook)!” The family looked for some food in the kitchen cupboards (橱柜). They 【小题8】 (see) some onions (洋葱), 【小题9】 (potato) and carrots. “What can we make with these?” asked Matt. “I’m very hungry! I think I can eat a horse!” Then Lucy said, “I know! We can 【小题10】 (make) soup.”

Matt 【小题11】 (be) not happy. He said, “I 【小题12】 (not like) soup. I want pasta (意大利面) and meatballs (肉丸)!” “But, Matt,” Mr. Smith said. “Soup is good for your 【小题13】 (health).” Lucy and Mr. Smith made the soup. After finishing the soup, the three of them sat down and started eating. Lucy asked Matt, “So, what ________ you 【小题14】 (think) of it?” “It’s great! I love it!” Matt answered. “Can I have another bowl of soup, please?”

And they all ate 【小题15】 (happy).

Life will be peaceful if you always do kind things. I teach my daughters to d【小题1】 a habit of helping others.

We live in a rural(乡村)area. Most of what we see is beautiful nature. One of the exceptions (例外) to the beauty is the rubbish that some people throw out of their car windows. And there are no necessary public s【小题2】 such as rubbish collection.

A helping behavior(行为) that I often p【小题3】 with my daughters is picking up rubbish in our neighborhood. My daughters often have a m【小题4】 to see who can collect the most rubbish. They will often say to me in an excited voice, “There’s some rubbish, —Daddy, stop the car!” Without t【小题5】 more, we will often get out of the our car and pick it up. Though it may seem s【小题6】, we do it. In fact, we enjoy it. We pick up rubbish in parks, on sidewalks, almost a【小题7】.

One day I saw a man I had never met before picking up rubbish on the road. I stopped. He r【小题8】 his head and said to me with a smile, “I saw you doing this with your family. It’s a good idea to protect our natural world.”

There are many other ways to p【小题9】 kindness for others. You may share a dinner with a begger (乞丐), visit lonely old people in the nursing home, or help the blind cross the street. You can think of something that can be finished e【小题10】 but helpful. It is fun, self-satisfying, and what’s more, it can set a good example. Helping others is helping yourself.

There was a speaking competition last week. We spoke to the w【小题1】, Henry. “I’m so happy that I won,” he said. “It’s been a f【小题2】 experience so far. I a【小题3】 people to speak slowly and clearly. I【小题4】 you can do that, you will s【小题5】.” We also spoke to several other students about English week. All of them enjoyed it very much.
