My friend Kate was a pretty girl whose sweet voice

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡drew others¡¯ attentions. Last year, she left to study at a music

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡1.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡school. Yesterday she called to say that she wants to see me but

¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡2.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡not at my house. So we fixed a time and a place and then hung.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡3.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Today I met her at a given time and place. Greatly

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡4.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡to my surprise, I found her so much changing. She

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡5.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡looked very sorrowful and worrying. She said she had made

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡6.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡such little progress that she was almost hopeless of success.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡7.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡She wondered that whether she had been wasting her

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡8.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡time doing nothing. I knew she just needed some encouragement.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡9.______

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡So I did what I could persuade her to gain her courage again.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Like many other places, our hometown is either facing

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡1._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡the problem of pollution. Unfortunately, people there have

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡2._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡realized the importance of protection the natural environment.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡3._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Factories have been taken measures to stop pouring polluted

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡4._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡water into the rivers. The citizens no longer put waste, such

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡5._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡as rubbish or human waste into the rivers. Every year,

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡6._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡a great number trees are planted. As a result,

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡7._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡the water in the rivers are becoming cleaner and cleaner.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡8._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡The hills around the city were covered with green trees

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡9._____

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡and the air there is much more fresher than before.
