I dreamed of going to the USA when I was a middle school student. When I was in high school, I made up my 　1 to go to America.

　　　 I wanted to study English and American culture. And I didn’t want to study in college in Japan at all. In Japan, it is very 　2 to enter a famous college or university but easy to graduate, so students don’t study hard after they enter the college or university. This was one of the reasons why I came to America.

　　　 I came to America last September. I have been here for eight months. When I first came here, I was very surprised. There are many differences 　3 Japan and America. I felt it was very strange and interesting.

　　　 I was also very upset because I heard English 　4 . Whenever I watched TV, went shopping, or even 　5 a walk, I heard only English. Everything was very hard for me because I could hardly understand English. Now I am used to hearing English and I can talk with Americans more easily, 　6 things are getting better.

　　　 After I came here, I realized how much I love my family, how difficult it is to live by 　7 , how exciting it is to live in another country, and how important it is to do 　8 I want to do. If I didn’t come here, maybe I didn’t realize these things. This is the most important experience in my life. I’m going to stay here for about three years. I’ll never forget the life in the USA.

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources(資源). Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river running through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.

　 Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India, the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeastern Asia. The greatest of all for navigation（航海）, however, is the Amazon in Brazil（巴西）. It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles up it.

　　 Besides transportation, rivers give food to eat, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun. In order to increase the supply(供給) of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam (大壩)across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate(灌溉) their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.

　 However, large cities and industries that are located on rivers often cause problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of these natural resources.

　　"I'm sorry," said Mrs Brown, "but you have wrong number. That is not the cinema. "

　　"Oh, it began twenty minutes ago?" said the man. "I'm sorry about that. Goodbye! "

　　Mrs Brown was very surprised. So she told her husband. He laughed and said, "The man's wife wanted to go to the cinema, but he was feeling tired, so he telephoned the cinema. His wife heard him, but she didn't hear you. Now they will stay at home this evening, and the husband will be happy! "
