This winter, my mother and I go back to my

1．________

Hometown to celebrate a Spring Festival

2．________

Together with my grandmother．

Having been away to my hometown

3．________

for several year, I knew very little

4．________

about them．I was surprised to find

5．________

which great changes had taken place there．

6．________

I met much of my old friends and

7．________

play together with them．I also learned a lot

8．________

during my stay here．Summer holiday is coming．

9．_________

or I am going to spend my holiday there．

Most American families are small than the

1．________

ones in other countries．Children in the USA will leave their Parents’ home when they grow up．They often

2．________

live far for their parents because they want to find

3．________

good jobs．They often write to their parents or telephone him．And they often go to visit their parents on holiday．

4．________

Parents usual let their children choose their own

5．________

jobs．Americans think its important for young people to

6．________

depend(依靠)on their lives by himself．

7．________

Children are ask to do some work around their houses．

8．________

And in many families, children are paid for do some

9．________

housework so that they can learn what to make money for their own use．

6．________

8．________

I’ll take part for some social activities so that

9．________

I can knew more about the society．

Best wishes！

Dear grandma,

How's it going?I hope that grandpa is good now．I was sorry to hear that he had a cold last week．I hope you are on good health．

Things are fine here．I finished my end-of-year exams last week and get my report card today．I always get nervous when I see the envelope from school in the

mail, but unluckily I did OK this time．I had a really hard time with science this semester, and 1 wasn't surprised find that my worst report was from my science teacher．She said I was lazy, which isn't true．It's just I find that difficult to study science well．

Another disappointed result was in history．The good

news are that my math teacher said I was hard-working．And my Spanish teacher said my listening was good．

Well, that's about the all news I have for now．Mom and Dad send them love．

Love, Alan

It was later in the evening．There was a knock on the door．

1．________

I opened it and found a young man wore dark glasses．He said

2．________

he was a friend of my brother and he had an appointment(約會)

3．________

with him．I didn’t remember my brother had such friend, but

4．________

I had to let him in．As we talked about, I found that he knew

5．________

something about my brother．I came to the conclusion(結(jié)論)that

6．________

he was not telling the truth．Just then my brother comes

7．________

into and the stranger was taken by surprise．I caught hold

8．________

the man while my brother rang the police．As a matter

9．________

of fact he was the thief．
