Uncle Sam and Aunt Kate came to visit us from America last weekend. This was  36 first time to come to Hong Kong. Yesterday my family showed them around Hong Kong.
We got up early in the morning and had breakfast at home. First, we went to the tram(有軌電車(chē)) station and   37  a tram. This was Uncle Sam and Aunt Kate’s first   38   on a tram. They thought that it was    39   and they liked the “Ding! Ding!” sound. We    40   the tram at Central. Then we took a boat to Tsim Sha Tsui. On the way, Uncle Sam took a video of many buildings. The wind blew softly on our faces. We    41   a lot.
After having a rest, we went to a restaurant for      42   . It was famous for nice food. We   43   a lot of food. I liked pork pies best    44   I ate three. Aunt Kate liked rice dumplings most. After lunch, we went to the Avenue of Stars. Uncle Sam and Aunt Kate were very    45   when they saw the signatures(簽名) and handprints(手印) of some famous stars. But it was a little fun to me. In all, we had a good time that day.

My friend, David Smith, had pet birds. One day he called me and told me he would be  25 for a week. He asked me to feed the birds for him.
Unfortunately, I did not  26 to feed the birds until the night before David was going to 27 . I ran to his house quickly and soon found the key he gave me,    28 I couldn't open the door! I kept thinking of  29 David would say when he came back.
Then I found that one bedroom window was  30  . I put a big stone (石頭)   31 the window, though it was very heavy. I made lots of noise, but in the end, I climbed up.
I had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly found that   32 was shining  a flashlight (手電筒) up at  33 . I looked down and  34 a policeman and an old lady, one of David's neighbors. "What are you doing up there?" asked the policeman. Feeling like a fool, I answered: "I was just going to feed Mr Smith's birds."                                                                         

One can have many experiences, but the one I never forget is my bicycling trip in Taiwan. When we were going to   46  school, my teacher suggested that we could do something special to remember our school life. After a long discussion, we decided to travel  47  the whole island by bicycle.
We began to get some training to make our   48  stronger. So we ran 3,000 meters after school. At first, I could only ran about 2,000 meters. My legs were heavy like steel and my heart    49  very fast. After two weeks of training, I could run 3,000 meters   50 .
We started our journey the last week of July. We rode about 100 kilometers   51  . It was very hot and our clothes were  52  all the time. One day, we were riding up the mountain when there were  53  wrong with my bicycle, and I fell and was hurt. I almost gave up and didn’t want to   54  the trip, but I tried to solve the problems successfully and kept on. Fifteen days passed, we returned to school again. We were so   55  .
This experience was like a miracle for me. I learned that I could do what I want to.

The train started moving. It was full of people of all ages. Near the   46  sat an old man with his 30-year-old son. As the train passed by, the son was very   47  as he looked out of the window. “Dad, look! The green trees moving away from us are very beautiful.”
This behavior from a 30-year-old son made   48  people feel strange about him. Everyone started murmuring (小聲嘀咕) about the son. “This man seems to be stupid.” Ross said to his wife. Suddenly it started   49 . Rain drops fell on the travelers through the window. The 30-year-old son said with joy, “Dad, look! See   50  beautiful the rain is.”
Ross’ wife got angry   51   the rain drops made her new suit wet. “Can’t you see it’s raining, old man? If your son is not feeling well, get him to a   52  , and don’t let him annoy(打擾) us.”
The old man didn’t say anything   53  . Then he answered in a low voice, “We are on the way back from the hospital. He was blind when he was born, and he only   54   his vision(視力) last week. Everything is new to his   55   Please excuse us for the trouble...”
