An earthquake may   (1)   some places at any time. Do you know what to do when it happens? Please let me tell you.

   When a quake begins and if you are outside, you must get into the open air and stay   (2)   buildings, trees and other dangerous things. If you are inside, you must stand in a corner,   (3)   get under a heavy desk or a table. If you are driving a car, or a bus, you must drive to   (4)   of the road and stop.

After an earthquake, you must try to talk to everyone in your family to see if they are   (5)   and see if gas, water, and electrical lines are   (6)  . Please don’t smoke or use lights. A gas line may be broken. You must keep the telephone lines clear. Don’t use your phone or drive your car  (7)   you are sure everything is all right.

From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and at weekends they are free and   (1)  themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, others take part in sports. This is decided by their own   (2)  .

There are many different ways to spend our   (3)  time.

Almost everyone has some kind of hobby : it may be something from collecting stamps to making model planes. Some hobbies are very   (4)  , but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth   (5)  of money; others are valuable only to their owners.

I know a man who has a coin collection worth several   (6)   dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece which   (7)   him＄250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder if they are worth any money. However,   (8)   my brother they are quite valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.

That’s what a hobby means, I think. It is something we   (9)  to do in our free time just for the   (10)   of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.

Even in early times, people could realize the importance of dreams and knew that dreams gave meaning to life. Every great achievement has been the result of years of dreaming.(1)If a person has a dream and holds fast to it, he or she will find a way to bring it into reality(现实).

Children do not have much experience or knowledge. However, they are natural dreamers. We should not laugh at them for being naive. With their rich imagination, they will come up with fantastic dreams. History is full of examples. Many great men were dreamers when they were children. One such dreamer was Thomas Edison.

Sports can help people to keep healthy. People of all ages must take care of their health and do exercise regularly (有规律的). My favorite sport is swimming. I go to the swimming pool once a week. But I like relaxing by the lake or the river and swimming there.
