The day after Thanksgiving has become America’s wildest shopping day. Closed all day on     , shops all across the country open early on Friday. Some open at 12:01 Friday morning, while others open at 4 a.m. Some lazy ones , like Target this year ,don’t open their doors on Friday      6 a.m. From Friday to the day before Christmas, this is the season when businesses make      25% of their whole year’s revenue (收入). This season puts many businesses “in the black”—that is, into profitability(盈利)—for the year.
Reporters from local TV stations       people who camp out in front of shops before the doors open on Friday. These people patiently wait in line to get products that are discounted 50 percent or more. “Oh, we have fun”, said one camper.” We bring games to play, we watch TV and we meet interesting people .And, most       of all, we save big dollars! ” Each store has plenty of goods reduce from 10% to 50%.
Not all Americans like this crazy shopping. Reverend William Graham wants to     the name of Black Friday. “We want to call it Remember Jesus(耶稣) Friday. People should start the season      the right attitude(态度).Christmastime has become a Season of Shopping. We want to make it a Season of     .And we don’t mean giving IPods, DVDs, flat screen TVs ,and so on .We mean giving your back, your mind, and your hands. Help an old lady      her house. Teach a kid how to read. Pick up the rubbish in your neighborhood. Give blood to the    . Celebrate Christmas by remembering Jesus and forgetting Father Christmas.”

Cats can also do us a favor sometimes.
Here is a comparison of the two animals.

Dogs
When Catherine lay down on the sofa, Pepe stared(盯) into her eyes and kept sniffing(嗅). After being pushed away, he suddenly jumped onto her chest. That’s when Catherine felt a pain that made her visit a doctor, and a fast-growing cancer was found. Months later, however, Pepe started staring and sniffing again. It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherine’s cancer had spread.
Cats
Alana immediately finds a chair when Tee sits and stares directly into her face. That’s because Tee is warning her that she is about to faint(昏倒), which can happen as often as three times a day. But Alana won’t get hurt if she sits down. Not only does Tee warn Alana, but also her husband. Then the cat stays with Alana until she recovers.

You either have it, or you don’t — a sense (感觉) of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes (强调) that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
◆ If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
◆ If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
◆ Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you need never get lost again!

Dear Dad,
I am writing this letter to you because it’s too difficult to talk about it. I can’t stop           about my uncle and how he died. In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking. I’ve looked up      information about smoking and I’ve found out some disturbing(令人不安的) things.
You already know that smoking is bad for your breathing and can cause cancer. I’ve found out      it causes many other illnesses as well. Did you know that over 100,000 people die from smoking every year in Britain? It’s the second        cause of death in the world. I don’t want you to be one of these people.
When Mum       you to smoke outside, you think she’s just being difficult. Well, it’s true that she doesn’t like the smell of smoke in the house and on our clothes. It’s not very pleasant. However, when you smoke, it’s also bad for me and Mum. In other words, when we breathe in your smoke, it’s like we are smoke       . As a result, we can get diseases as well. Doctors are finding that more and more non-smokers are falling ill because of the effects of other people’s smoking.
I know that it is very difficult to stop smoking     you mustn’t give in(屈服) to it. Please see the doctor and ask him for help. We will do anything we can     you. You must try to save your own       . You are important to us and we don’t want to lose you. Who else can I ask to help me      my maths homework or fix my bike? Please don’t smoke!
Your loving daughter,
Kate
