Dear Alex,
My name is Tina. I'm a middle school student and I would like to make a request. Could you please play a s1. for my best friend Mary tomorrow night? It will be her 2. (fourteen) birthday tomorrow. I want to give her 3. amazing gift. The song I would like you to play is I'll Be There for You b4. Rembrandts. I plan to invite her to have dinner at Blue Moon Restaurant which is the 5. (nice) restaurant in our neighborhood. There we can have some delicious food. She will go home because she has to study for an 6. (importance) exam. I know she always listens to 7. (you) program when she studies. 8. I hope she will hear this song tomorrow night. When we 9. (be) new at school, we became good friends. We had the same 10.(hobby)—listening to the radio and playing the guitar. I want her to know no matter what happens, I will always be there for her.

颜色对进食的影响
When you see your favorite food on a red plate, you probably feel hungry. B1. you feel hungrier when it's on a white plate. Why? 2. (recent), a research shows that colors have great influences on our eating. In the 3. (one) place, colors can really affect our feelings about food. For example, when you add red dye (染料) to water, it tastes 4. (sweet) than normal water, as if you've added sugar. The food that you think is the most delicious will probably taste worse to you if you change 5. (it) color to blue. This is because blue is not a very 6. (nature) color for food.
Besides, 7. (color) can also affect how much we eat. In one experiment, people were asked to serve their some pasta w8. white sauce. The people with red plates 9. (eat) a little. However, 10. people with white plates took more than those with red plates. Can you guess why this happens?
回忆
A few years ago, we lived in a house b1. the sea. We have been there until I was eight. But then in the 2. (nine) year my parents suggested moving to the town centre. S3. we moved.
It was 4. (total) OK living in the city. I 5. (enjoy) going to the shopping centre near my new home, for example. And I didn't mind seeing other houses from my w6., but I couldn't stand crossing all those busy streets! Sometimes I felt like shouting at the 7. (driver) of all those cars!
I always loved living by the sea, and I missed hearing the sound of the waves outside our old house. The life in the old house was the 8. (fine) memory in my mind. Sometimes I imagined having 9. house of my own, not living in other people's house all the time, on the beach. And I could live by 10. (I) and practice seeing without annoying anyone!
