There is none of the actions that we usually see on TV today. There are also no stressful moments, busy offices or 【小题3】 (crowd) cities. Away from it all 【小题4】 (set) in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness.

Most weekends, my friends and I cook something all together and have a fun—themed party. So far, we 【小题1】 (have) traditional Spanish, Mexican and Italian themed evenings 【小题2】 have been a lot of fun! This week, I suggested we should have an English afternoon tea party so these are the things I think we will need to know:
First of all, tea 【小题3】 (be) very important! Use your best teapot and cups and make sure there is plenty of milk and sugar to add to the tea. I 【小题4】 (person) like English breakfast tea bags but I know a lot of people like Earl Grey. Maybe you could put lots of 【小题5】 (differ) types of tea out so that people can try all of 【小题6】. Next, you need to prepare sandwiches. At tea parties, we often make “mini” sandwiches, so that they are easier for people 【小题7】 (eat). In England, we spread butter onto the bread before 【小题8】 (add) the fillings. Then, every tea party needs scones (烤饼)! Finally, all afternoon tea parties have a good 【小题9】 (select) of cakes and biscuits.
Now that you have all of your food, you can decorate your party room 【小题10】 flags and Union Jacks to make this a very British afternoon tea party!

Michael loves scuba-diving (斯库巴潜水). By 9, he was an extraordinary swimmer and a good listener in the pool.
Michael’s first dive, 【小题1】, was truly unforgettable. Instead of using a boat, the plan was to go down a ladder at the boat and drop into about 15 feet of water. Everything went perfectly. His instructor Polly led him to the nearby reef. While 【小题2】 (explore) the reef in 27 feet of water, Michael suddenly signaled a problem with his mask. Polly signaled back for him to clear it. He cleared it 【小题3】 then later signaled the problem again. His mask was completely flooded 【小题4】 water. Michael made a sign 【小题5】 he wanted to go up. Polly signaled, “NO! Stay with me!”
