Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, sometimes we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

    No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get on well. That doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up(和解) and become friends again.

    Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much, but we can call them and write to them. It could be that we could even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

    There's more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don't. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be that they just know that someone cares. If someone cares about you, you should also take good care of yourself.

"As for(至于) me, I have only one trick, but it usually works. Will you please3  me some of yours?", "Well, if I am not busy some day, I'll teach you one or two easier ones. "

    Just at that moment they heard something  4. That was a dog. The cat climbed5  a tree quickly. "This is my only trick," she called down to the fox. "Which trick are you going to6  , Mr Fox?" The fox sat there. He used his head 7  one of his many good ways.

    The dog came nearer. The fox thought and  8  . At last he found a way to run. Running away was    9    best way.   But that was too late.   Before he started 10, the dog came to him. That was the end of the fox.

    Hi! My name is Alice. I am a middle school student but I think my life is different from most other students. After school, I always hunt wild birds and animals with my father, uncles and brothers. I also help them to plant and harvest (收割) crops. I want to be a cooper. A cooper is someone who works with wood and fixes (修理) chairs and other things made of wood. I made lots of things like tables and other furniture.

    My elder sister does many different kinds of things every day. She makes our candles (蜡烛) by using the oil and fat from sheep and cows. These candles give us light at night. She also gets the wool from sheep. My mother and grandmother also teach her to sew. She can make letters and pictures on the cloths with needles.

    I think we live a very happy country life.
