Jimmy started painting when he was three years old. When he was five he was already very good at it. He won the first p【小题1】 in many painting competitions. He painted many beautiful and interesting pictures and people p【小题2】 a lot of money for them.

Jimmy’s pictures were d【小题3】 from other people’s because he never painted them on all of the paper. He painted on the bottom half of it, and the other half was always e【小题4】 .

“That’s very clever,” everybody said. “Nobody else does that!” They all believed that the boy was a genius in painting. One day, somebody asked him, “Why do you paint on the bottom half of your pictures, but not on the t【小题5】 half?” “Because I’m small, my brush can’t reach very high.” Jimmy said.

One day, while I was cooking in the kitchen, someone knocked on the door. I opened 【小题1】 door and saw a young take-away man standing outside 【小题2】 a lot of steamed hairy crabs (蒸大闸蟹) in his hands. I remembered I didn’t have an order like that.

So I said, “What’s up? I didn’t order any food or vegetables. You must be mistaken.”

“I know you didn’t order anything.” The young man said, “This is not for you, 【小题3】 it is your WeChat friend who asked me to show you. This is the food he is going 【小题4】 have for dinner today. There 【小题5】 no power in his house and he can’t post a moment on Wechat (发朋友圈), he is afraid you won’t see it. So I am here. Hurry up, I have more than ten houses to go!”

Two friends are having a picnic together. Their 【小题1】 (name) are Jack and Tim. Tim doesn’t like working. 【小题2】 the afternoon, Jack says to Tim, “Here’s some money. Go and buy some 【小题3】, please.”

“I’m too tired (累),” answers Tim, “You go.”

So Jack goes to the 【小题4】 /ʃɒp/ and buys the meat. 

After he 【小题5】 (come) back, he says to Tim, “Here’s the meat now. Please cook 【小题6】.”

But Tim answers, “No, I’m not good at cooking. You do it,” So Jack cooks the meat.

Then he says to Tim, “Go and 【小题7】 /get/ some water.”

“No, I don’t want to make 【小题8】 (I) clothes wet (湿),” Tim answers. 

At last Jack says, “The meal is OK. Come and 【小题9】 /i:t/ it.”

“Yes, I’ll do that,” answers Tim, “I don’t like to say ‘【小题10】’ all the time.”
