1．Dear Nancy,
　　Friendship (友谊) is important in a person's life. Now I want to tell you some of my (1)       about it.
　　Today I met (2)       18-year-old girl named Lily. She told me her experience. Some years ago she (3)      her best friend Bob's heart in a basketball game. She wasn't happy and didn't know (4)      to get Bob back. From then on, Lily (5)       had true friendship.
　　This is not only Lily's problem. We all may meet kinds of problems in our life. Almost all the people have friends but only (6)       of them can get true friendship. That's because they think what their friends do is what they should do. And they won't (7)       it before losing it.
　　How can we get true friendship? It (8)      much time and also needs love. If you spend much time (9)      good to your friends, they can feel it and love you, too. When there are problems what we should do is to face them but not to ignore (忽视) them. Try to find a way to do with them.
　　I also hope you can have true friendship in your life. I'm sure you'll be much (10)      .
Yours,
Gina

2．　　What would the future life be like?I think we can travel (1)       and more safely in many places even into space. Maybe one day we can work in Beijing, sleep-in-Chengdu and visit the moon for a (2)      .
　　We will have new energy (能源) and it doesn't make (3)      . Possibly, people will find ways to use cleaner things, such as sea water, to make energy (4)       polluting the earth.
　　We will have machines that can copy everything in the future. Put a cake on the machine and (5)      will make a new one. We can (6)       food and present to our friends easily.
　　We will have clever robots that work for us, and the robots can (7)       us useful things and take away our trash. Now we have to press a key (按键) or type a word to make a machine work. But in the future, (8)       we think of something, the machine can make it for us. The machine can understand (9)       ideas.
　　We can go into computer games and films, and everything will feel (10)      . We can make our homes like forests or sunny beaches or anything we want. Maybe, one day we can collect(收集) our dreams and put our dreams on DVDs.

4．　　If you think you're too shy and want to be a little braver, try the followings. You can make it.
　　Tell people you're shy. (1)       When they get to know you're a shy kid, they understand you better. This also helps you feel easier in talks.
　　(2)      When you smile, people think you're friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too. And most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
　　Learn to be a good talker. If you find it hard to start talks, (3)      Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?
　　(4)      Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don't waste time worrying about your looks or whether people like you or not.
　　(5)      Each time after you say "hi" or smile at someone for the first time, say "I did it!" to yourself. Keep trying and one day you'll never be shy when you talk to others.
