But I decided to give it a 12 and took off inthat direction. I had barely 13 what his car looked like,and was just about to 14 .I parked my car and was 15 what else I could do when the man drove right by and 16 over into a nearby parking spot,still 17 about where he was. When I pulled in next to him,he couldn't believe it.“ 18 did you find me?!”he asked. “I'm not sure,but I 19 that you are in the wrong city!” I showed him the right directions,and after more smiles,laughs and a handshake,we parted ways again.

She couldn’t help looking around, but she didn’t notice that a man was already 6 behind the door to the veranda (阳台).All of a 7 the man appeared before Miss Wenter. The girl really didn’t know what to do. “Don’t ask for 8 , just put your jewellery on the table; then think over whether I shall be safe to stay up here for the night,” said the robber. That made Miss Wenter even more 9 , but she tried to 10 herself.Just then came the whistle of a police car, In a little while, someone rang the 11 . The robber said with a gun 12 the girl’s back,“Go to the door and say that you’ve gone to bed. Never let him in.”In a flash, the girl had an idea. “Oh, who are you?” she said.“I’m Sergeant Bull, Miss Wenter. Is there something 13 here?”“No, there isn’t.” Immediately she added loudly, 14 , my elder brother extends his 15 greetings (问候) to you.”“Thank you. Good night,” Bull replied in the same 16 .A few minutes later, the sound of the police car going 17 could be heard. “It’s well 18 ,” the robber said with a smile. Then he 19 to the girl. Almost at the same time the glass on the window was broken. The policemen hurried into the room from the veranda. They quickly put handcuffs (手铐) on the robber.“Miss Wenter, your greetings were so good that it made us take 20 right aw ay,” said Sergeant Bull, because we’ve already known that your elder brother was killed in a robbery half a year ago.”1.

After all, dancing is a way to tell a story to music. Scientists say that animals dance, too, but their dancing is 2 . The “dances” of animals have a(n) 3 . They send messages to other animals about important physical 4 such as hunger, or desire. But when people dance, they express many different 5 —love, joy, anger, and sadness. They also tell stories about people, places, life, or death. By dancing, people can share these feelings or 6 with others.All dances are good for you. For one thing, they’re good for you 7 . Dancing is good exercise. It makes you 8 your arms and legs, and it makes your heart work. It's an enjoyable way to keep 9 or to lose weight.Besides, dancing makes you feel better about yourself. It gives you a chance to express your feelings. If you are angry or upset about something, it makes those feelings 10 . You ’ll probably feel relaxed and happy afterwards, although you may also be 11 . And if you are a quiet or fearful kind of person, dancing can help you be more 12 .

But all kinds of dances give you a chance to meet new people or to do something enjoyable with friends.11、Summer is the best time on the Island of the Blue Dolphins (海豚). The sun is 1.
