I always go back and check her work. 6 the chore isn’t done well, Annie will have to do it again. When it 7 (come) to teaching kids to do chores, I start with my oldest (最年长的) child Annie. And I’m hoping that if I teach her well, she will then teach other younger brothers.

The king was 7 (surprise) and started to listen to him. Mao Sui explained the importance of the friendship between Chu and Zhao, and the king agreed to help. Everyone in Zhao 8 (be) happy about the news, and Mao Sui 9 (become) a hero. This story teaches us to believe in 10 (us), like Mao Sui did, and not to be afraid to show our talents to others. Passage 4 No one can be sure 1 the weather is going to be like in the future, but many people think there are going to be some changes (变化).

They say that the ice in the Arctic (北极) is going to melt (融化) in the next years and a lot of the animals there are going 7 (die). There is also going to be more water in 8 sea, so cities near the sea are going to disappear (消失). Another problem is that there are going to be 9 (many) hurricanes and typhoons (飓风和台风) than before. Scientists say they are going to happen all over the world, and many people are going to lose 10 (they) homes.

There, three parrots 2 (stand) on wooden perches. The first parrot cost five thousand gold coins, the second one, ten thousand gold coins; and the 3 (three) one, thirty thousand gold coins. “Oh, wise merchant,” the traveler asked, “How come this guy is five thousand gold coins? It's so expensive 4 this kind of parrot.” “Because I have trained 5 (he) and he can talk,” said the merchant. “How about this guy?” the traveler asked in surprise, “What can he do 6 makes him more expensive?” “Well, apart from 7 (talk),” replied the merchant, “he can also do some amusing actions, 8 dancing.” “And the third one?” the traveler asked, “What magic does he have that makes him 9 (expensive) among them?” The merchant lowered his voice, “I don’t know.

When I am catching cicadas, I only see their wings.
