—I _______ Shanghai to meet my old friends.

    Michael had taught us English for two years before he moved to New York. He worked very hard and was patient with his students, so we all 1 him very much since he left. It was not long before Michael came back to Los Angeles 2 a short visit. The teachers and students held a small party for 3.

    At the party, people walked 4 and talked with each other. I certainly would not give up the good 5 to learn English. I tried to think of all kinds of topics 6 with another English teacher, Mrs. Green.

    Just before I was going to run out of my 7, suddenly I heard Michael say to others loudly, “I dig New York!” I asked Mrs. Green at once, “Is it really 8 to find a job in New York? Why does Michael have to do 9 work since he is such a good teacher?”

    Mrs. Green didn't seem to understand 10 I said. “Why do you think of that?” she asked.

    “Haven't you heard him say that he is digging New York? Is he 11 an underground passage(地下通道)?” I asked.

    When Mrs. Green finally 12 what I meant, she laughed to tears. Then she asked us whether we knew the 13 of “I dig New York”. All of us shook heads and said “14“. Michael told us that “I dig New York” means “I love New York” in American slang(俚语). 15 few people say that now, we still hear it sometimes.

The computer is a very wonderful machine. It is a very 1 today. It seems that we can not live or work without it. Computers 2 in many ways---in offices, in factories, in big shops, at schools, and even at home. 3 The computer, people are living a better life.

The computer is one of the greatest inventions of the 4 century. The first computer was built in America and it was named Eniac. It was not only very 5, but also quite heavy. It was as big as two rooms!

But the computer is developing very fast. Today they are becoming smaller and smaller, lighter and lighter, and 6 faster and faster. There are many different kinds of computers on the market. You can choose any one you like.

7 The computer can do a lot of things for people, it helps us to learn about the real world. With the computer you can 8  an e-mail just in a few seconds to your friend far away from you, but it will take the post office quite a long time to deliver a 9 to your friend.

Now the computer really gives us a very nice picture about the world of tomorrow. So as a student in the 21^st century, we have to work hard and learn how to10the computer very well. Don't you think so?
