A few days ago, Adrian bought six bottles of ink at a $1 Store. Then he found a deal (交易)on better ink at a local computer store. So Adrian went back to the $1 Store to e 92 the ink for some other things.

We love obento (便当)!
It's time for lunch! Today we have obento. In fact, "obento" is a n 92 for lunch in Japanese. It’s tasty, healthy and eye-catching.
There are some interesting rules in an obento. First, rice is separated from the other dishes. So the rice won't pick up any other flavors(口味). B 93 there is the main dish and the two side dishes. The main dish can be anything from dumplings, to fried chicken, to fish. And the side dish can be anything, like salad.
During obento making, you must learn to combine (结合) the food colors of red, yellow, and green. The red food will make people feel hungry, the yellow food is usually healthy, and the green food is full of vitamins. So if you can put t 94 colors well together, you can make a good obento.
Nowadays the obento plays an i 95 part in Japanese life. When a class goes for an outing, all the students will b 96 their mom-made obento. You see, the obento is a 97 filled with love, just as a mother said, "I remember my mother making obento for me. Now I make obento for my daughter every day. Hopefully, she'll make obento for her children too, w 98 the same love."(200)

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollywood(好莱坞) in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be k 92 as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood”. Bollywood makes twice as many as movies each year as Hollywood—more than 800 films a year.
The movies from Bollywood are very d 93 from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, romance and so on. Because Bollywood films contain so many different fe atures, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.)
A 94 big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script(剧本) is even finished. The directors(导演) and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand i 95 of taking time to type it.
Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand(需求) that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes(到现场实拍) for several films on the same day using the same costumes(服装) . Since most Bollywood movies follow the same k 96 of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors and directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies l 97 than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget(预算) of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very c 98 compared to the average budget of sixty million US. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much.

Hi, Sam
It's been such a long time since I heard from you. 1 don't mean to boast, but I have to tell you about a fantastic performance I was recently lucky enough to enjoy. My parents arranged for us to go and see a Beijing Opera show last week. B 92 I went, I thought that Beijing Opera was only for old people. How w 93 I was! It
was great! The performers wore really colorful costumes and beautiful make-up, which were different from each character. I was amazed by the exciting fight scenes.
The opera we saw was a very old s 94 called Legend of White Snake. It is about a girl, a 95 a snake, who falls in love with a young man, and the problems they face. It was really enjoyable. I stayed seated for the whole show. I really liked how each of the performers had a different role to play and how they each sang and acted differently.
I liked the show very much. When I came home, I s 96 online for more information about Beijing Opera. It seems that some theatres are giving out free tickets to schools in order to a 97 more young people to watch Beijing Opera. I think this is an excellent idea. Beijing Opera is an important part of Chinese c 98 and it is very entertaining to watch.
Anyway, Sam, it is late and I have to go to school tomorrow. Take care and I'll talk to you soon

Body language is one of the best ways to find out what is really going on inside someone's head.
A small movement of the mouth or nose, or a wink (眨眼) of the eye — these actions can say so much more about a person's, feelings than a 92 they say to you.
But you need to be very experienced to u 93 what you see completely. Here are some basic movements made by Westerners — and explanations of what they mean— to get you started.
Pat or rub your stomach. If someone rubs their stomach, they are not feeling sick. They are just h 94 .
Shrug your shoulders (耸肩). This means "I don't know" or "I am not bothered". If your friend shrugs their shoulders when invited to a party, it shows they are not very i 95 in going along to it.
Keep your fingers crossed. It is a gesture that wishes for good 1 96 . Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favorite team gets a penalty (点球) — they wish the player will score a goal.
Rub your chin (下巴) . If someone rubs their chin, it often means they dont believe what someone is s 97 ! So if your friend makes this gesture, it secretly tells you what they feel.
Scratch your head 挠头). If your foreign English teacher scratches his head when you ask a question, then he is confused and might n 98 have understood what you said. Either that, or he cant remember your name!

Children have their own rules in playing games. They s 92 need a referee and rarefy trouble to keep scores. They don’t c93 much about who wins or loses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on i 94 . so that each one's own abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the deciding of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Parents can hardly find children's games i 95 , and they often don't understand why their children play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person or not He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be c 96 . too. In some games it is his place to g 97 orders, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kick someone who has been caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control.
Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be simple, but they make sure that every child has a c 98 to win.

In the United States, when you become rich, you want people to know about it And even if you aren't very rich, you want people to think that you are. That is w 92 "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbours.
The expression was f 93 used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning (挣) $125 a week at the age of 23.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people did things just to keep up with the rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories about this. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very c 97 name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series a 98 in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

When you cut your skin, you bleed (流血) . If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!
When doctors understand how blood goes around i 92 the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called "blood transfusion" (输血). The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the s 93 person.
But there are two problems. First, it does not always w 94 . Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the s 95 kind of blood. There are four groups—O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else s 96 .
There is a 97 problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood u 98 someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a place to keep blood for a very long time—"blood bank".

“Fire! Fire!” What horrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and s 92 out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.
I began to run, but as I was still only half awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite
direction. The smoke grew t 93 and I could see flames all around and the floor became hot under my bare feet. I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet was caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fell over was l 94 a bundle（一捆）of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the below with pieces of wood all around me.
I saw a flaming doorway in front, put the bundle of clothes over my face and ran. The fire around my feet burned me t 95 , but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in my s 96 . Then I saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed when she saw me and came running madly. “My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowd cheered widely as she took the smoke bundle out of my a 97 . I had some difficulty in recognizing her. She was Mayor’s wife, and I had s98 her baby. I was a hero.

A Bike Hire Plan Has Started in London
London has become a cycle friendly area after the action of a new bike hire (租用)project. It has been designed to e 92 more people to cycle in and around central London. So how does it work? First you have to sign up to the project to get a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes, which are kept at parking stations in and around central London. You have to pay for the key and then you pay as you go, according to the l 93 of time you use the bike. The organization, Transport for London, runs the project and h 94 to have 6,000 bikes and 400 parking stations by the end of the year. The new hire system wants to ease congestion (缓解拥堵) in London and is expected to have up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre.
London Mayor Boris Johnston started the project and said London used to be a f 95 of thousands of shining cars and the project might change the outlook of their streets. However, a few problems have appeared s 96 the project was started last Friday. Transport for London admitted they could expect a few small difficulties and allow cyclists not to pay for the first day as a bush. Some people found they couldn’t park their bike e 97 and nobody recorded their hire time of the bike on the first day. Others aren’t satisfied with the number of the parking stations for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles. Although the organization has received some complaints, the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very a 98 about the Bike Hire Plan, saying, “My plan for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big step forward.”

On two wheels in a green Land
It's often said that the best way to see a country is to use the method of transport which is traditional in that place. So people should see Australia on horseback, Nepal on foot and the US by car. If this is true, then a bicycle is the p (92) way to visit Sri Lanka. Although the 18-speed mountain bike I used is not an everyday sight, more traditional types can be seen all over the c (93) .
Sharing the same kind of transport as local people changes the way you see the place. You are traveling at a speed that fits the environment. It is not so slow that you only see a s (94) area each day, and not so fast that the details of the countryside are missed. Better still, you can stop whenever you want to listen to the birds or the sound of water, you can talk to people, smell their cooking or take a photo. H (95) , this doesn't mean that cycling in Sri Lanka is relaxing. If you want to see the whole country, you have to leave the towns and villages and cycle through forest—where the temperature is 37°C, cross rivers, climb hills and go over paths which are made of mud, rock or sand.
The most pleasant paths in the forest follow the irrigation canals. T (96) carry water into the bright green rice fields. During the afternoon, groups of children, farm workers and water buffaloes all come to s (97) in canals. Then, when you climb up the hills in the centre of the country, you see that the side of every hill is covered with rows of trees in another lovely green. In fact, the whole country is covered in more different and beautiful shades of green t (98) I've ever thought.
Now I'm wondering where to ride my bike next — perhaps along the canals of the Netherlands, or through the city streets of China...

Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or use it to do good things; they can spend it by buying things they want; or they can save it. Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to f 98 saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finances. For example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.

peace. Many artists t 92 . The king looked at all the pictures. But there were o 93 two he
really liked, and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a beautiful lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all
around it. Overhead was a b 94 sky with white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it
was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains, too. But these were lifeless and awful. Above was an angry sky, and from the sky rain was f 95 and wind was blowing. Down the side of the mountain there was a running waterfall (瀑布). This did not l 96 peaceful at all.
But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a small tree growing in a h 97 in the rock. In the tree a mother bird had built her nest (巢). There, in the midst of the angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest—in perfect peace.

meaning of peace."
