13. Dana Miller was a bus driver in the city of Philadelphia. Her working hours _________BE_________ from 10.00 pm till 6:00 am.

Every Friday night he got on the bus carrying his guitar. The guitar ________MAKE__________ of wood, not plastic and Dana liked the way it sounded. “You should come to see our show,” the guitarist kept saying to Dana. “I ________SEE__________ it one day,” Dana promised each time, but she never said when exactly she _________GO_________. Another passenger who often used Dana’s bus was a Biscuit Lady. She worked at the biscuit factory and often ________GIVE__________ Dana a small bag of biscuits. Dana ________NOT/LIKE_________ sweets and pastries very much, but she could never resist those biscuits – they were so fresh and tasty. “How was _______YOU_______ night?” Dana’s husband liked to ask her when she came home. “Good music, good food and a great view of the city,” she cheerfully answered. “I wish I ________ENJOY__________ my work as much as you enjoy yours,” her husband said, “ but I’m going to have just another boring day at the office.”

14. Linda was looking forward to her holidays. First of all, she ________FEEL__________ really tired from school and wanted to have a break.

They _________NOT/DO_________ it very often since her parents were very busy people. Linda _________NOT/CAN_________ ski but the prospect didn’t scare her. She learnt everything very quickly, especially when her father taught ________SHE__________. He was the _________GOOD_________ teacher in the world! “I ________BUY__________ special sunglasses for skiing,” Linda boasted to her father. “Have a look! Nice, aren’t they?” “They are,” he gave Linda a quick look and turned back to his computer. He _________PREPARE_________ a presentation or something else very important. Linda could see diagrams on the screen. They _________DRAW_________ in different colours which made them look complicated.

15. Tim woke up later than usual. It was Sunday and he ________HAVE__________ lots of plans for the day. He was in the bathroom cleaning his _________TOOTH_________ when he heard some unfamiliar voices from the veranda. “Who could they be?” Tim ________THINK__________.

Tim coughed to attract _________THEY_________ attention. “Oh, Tim, you’re up already!” his mother sounded excited. “Meet my school friends, Linda and Emma.” Linda shook his hand, Emma smiled and said: “We _________BE_________ happy to meet you, Tim.” Your mum showed us your photo, but you are much ________YOUNG__________ there. Join us for tea. I wish we ________CAN__________ talk about our school days for ages, but we have some other business to discuss with your mother. It’s going to be interesting for you, too.” Tim sat at the table. Emma had some papers in her hands but Tim couldn’t read what _________PRINT_________ there – the letters were too small.

16. People turn fifteen only once in life and Anna wanted to have a great birthday party, with cake, candles and guests. “Guests? And what if nobody comes,” Anna ______THINK______.

Will you come?” she said quietly. “We ______SOLVE______ Maths problems, can’t you see?” Linda didn’t even look up. Linda and Kate were the ______POPULAR______ girls in the class. Their fathers were successful ______BUSINESSMAN______ who Anna sometimes saw on TV. “I ______COME______ on Saturday,” Kate said suddenly. “What time is your party?”

17. Anna was glad that the academic year was about to finish. Like most ________CHILD__________ she was looking forward to the summer but not because she wanted to relax. Her plans ________BE__________ ambitious. Anna wanted to buy a professional digital camera and it wasn’t easy to save enough money. Anna had already chosen the model she wanted. Her dad said that he ________GIVE__________ her the camera in a couple of years. But Anna ________NOT/CAN__________ wait so long, she needed it right then. “If I ________HAVE__________ it now, I would be able to take part in the Professional Photograph Competition. Everyone says I’ve got talent,” she said to herself, looking at the magazine where an article about the competition ________PUBLISH__________. While she was reading the article for the _________TWO_________ time, a brilliant idea came to her – why not take up a summer job as a photographer? She reached for the phone and dialed the number of the ________LARGE__________ photography agency in the town. “Hello, can I help you?” the woman’s voice sounded encouraging and Anna _________THINK_________ that she probably had a chance.

18. It was Friday evening. Liz was looking forward to Saturday because it was her husband’s birthday. She had been preparing for this event for a long time. She had invited ________THEY__________ college friends and they were all coming from different cities. The best part was that Carlos, her husband, ________NOT/KNOW__________ anything about the arrangements. It was going to be a surprise. Liz ________MAKE__________ sandwiches when Carlos came into the kitchen. “Look, darling,” he said, “I know it’s my birthday tomorrow but I don’t want to do anything special for it.” Liz thought, “I wish I ________CAN__________ cancel the party but I can’t – it’s too late. The party will take place anyway and it will be the ________GOOD__________ party ever”. When Carlos came home on Saturday, there ________BE__________ lots of people there. Carlos ________TELL__________ them that he felt very happy to see them all and it was true! The guests enjoyed the dinner and then Liz brought in a cake. The cake ________DECORATE__________ with chocolates and jellies, and it had as many candles as the number of years Carlos had reached that day. Carlos couldn’t blow them out on the ________ONE__________ try and his friends were delighted to help him.

19. I was sitting in an arm-chair and watching my sister Alison. She was getting ready for a party. Alison was 15 years _________OLD_________ than me and she always treated me like a child. Alison took her jewellery box from the table. The box _________MAKE_________ of wood and had colourful stones on the top. “You know you must never touch it, right?” Alison said. “If the box was mine, I _________ALLOW_________ you to touch it whenever you wanted,” I answered. Alison said nothing to that. When she put on her jewelry, she looked like a princess. She moved gracefully as if her _________FOOT_________ didn’t touch the ground. Alison kissed me goodnight and left. I tried to resist my curiosity but I _________NOT/CAN_________. I opened the box. There _________BE_________ lots of rings, ear-rings, bracelets and necklaces inside. I got them all out. The _________ONE_________ piece of jewelry I tried on was a silver necklace. After that I lost track of time. Suddenly I _________SEE_________ Alison. She was standing at the doorway and looking at me angrily. I ________NOT/KNOW__________ what to say. Many years have passed since that night. Now I am a designer – I create clothes and accessories. My sister likes my work very much.

20. Jane liked going to the park with her mum. One day when they were there, she said, “There is so much rubbish on the ground.” They looked around. There were old ________BOX__________, waste paper and cans on the ground. Several benches ________BREAK__________. “You are right,” her mum said. “I wish people ________CARE__________ about the environment more.” “I do care about it but I ________NOT/KNOW__________ what I can do to help the park,” said Jane. Jane and her mum went home. In the evening she painted a picture of the park. At the top of the picture she ________WRITE__________ “PLEASE KEEP ME CLEAN”. The next day Jane and her mum went to the park ________EARLY__________ than usual. Jane taped her picture onto a big rubbish bin and started picking up rubbish. Some children ran over to see what was going on. They decided to help Jane. Soon all the rubbish was in the bags. “Good job,” Jane said, “We _________CLEAN_________ half of the park. If we come and complete the other part tomorrow, the whole park _________BE_________ clean and tidy. I hope people won’t throw ________THEY__________ rubbish here any more.”

21. When I came into the room, my computer was on. It worried me since I _________NOT/REMEMBER_________ switching it on. I looked around – there ________BE__________ nobody in my room and everything was in its usual place. Suddenly I ________UNDERSTAND__________ – the book had gone! I had left it on the table but it wasn’t there any more. I checked the window – it ________CLOSE__________. That meant that someone had come into the room through the door. My _________ONE_________ impulse was to call the police but I called Jim instead. “What ________HAPPEN__________?” Jim sounded sleepy. I explained that someone ________TAKE__________ the book. “Oh, no!” Jim sounded unhappy. “Have you any idea how valuable it is?” “There’s another thing I ________NOT/CAN__________ understand,” I interrupted Jim. “My computer’s on but I always switch it off before leaving home.” “Ok, stay at home. I’ll be at _________YOU_________ place in half an hour,” he said and the phone went dead.

22. The phone rang in Clark Taylor’s house at nearly three in the morning. He answered it only after the _________FIVE_________ ring. “Hello,” Clark said in a sleepy voice. “Mr. Taylor. Thank goodness. I need your help.” Clark definitely _________KNOW_________ the voice. However, he was sleepy and _________NOT/CAN_________ remember who it was. “Mr. Taylor!” the man said. “I am in trouble. The police allowed me only one phone call. And I am calling you.” Then, the fog cleared. Although nearly ten years had passed since _________THEY_________ last meeting, Clark was able to recognise the voice. It belonged to Martin Hall, one of the _________BRIGHT_________ math students he had ever had. “Martin, what’s happened? Where are you? ” Clark asked. “In the police station. I _________ARREST_________ at the railway station two hours ago. I was going to a conference. The police mistook me for another person. The irony is that I really do look like the criminal that they are looking for. Besides that, I _________LOSE_________ my ID card and I can’t prove who I am. You are the only person in this town who knows me. Can you help me?” Martin Hall asked. “If you give me the address, I _________COME_________ at once,” Clark said, jumping up of the bed. It was not difficult for him to prove that Martin Hall was his former student. Clark brought a scientific journal with Martin’s article and a photo of him. The _________POLICEMAN_________ were surprised to find out that their prisoner was a capable young scientist.

23. We arrived at the lake very early. It was cold but in spite of that there were several ________MAN__________ there. Dad pulled our fishing rods out of the rucksack and we joined the others. “Hey, look what I_________CATCH_________!” a man sitting several metres upstream proudly showed us his bag. There was a large fish in it. “Good job,” Dad ________SAY__________ and everyone became quiet again. “How long do we have to wait? When will they bite?” I whispered. “I ________NOT/KNOW__________,” Dad whispered back and a moment later he was holding a little, silver fish. “See?” he turned to me. “But this one is too small. We’d better let it go and wait for the next one.” And he let ___HE____ fish go. The second fish was _________BIG_________ than the first one and soon Dad caught a few more. “If it goes on like this, mum _________COOK_________ us a great dinner,” he said. We kept fishing till noon but I didn’t catch anything ________I__________ and got really bored with it. To me, it _________BE_________ a stupid waste of time but I certainly wasn’t going to tell Dad that. He wouldn’t have liked it.

24. Michael could not imagine his life without computers. His parents ________BUY__________ him his first computer at the age of seven.It took _________HE_________ several days to learn how to use it. His mum said that the younger people were, the _________FAST_________ they could learn computer skills. That was probably true – most ________CHILD__________ in Michael’s class were very competent computer users. Michael was really surprised to find out that the first personal computer ________INVENT__________ in the 70’s of the last century. “And how did you chat or send your e-mails without computers?” he asked his mother. She smiled: “We ________NOT/SEND__________ each other e-mails. And there were no networks.” She also said that it ________BE__________ fun to communicate face-to-face, to play out-of-doors and to visit friends’ homes. “But if there ________BE__________ no computers, I wouldn’t be able to communicate with my friends who live far away from me,” Michael replied. “True. Technological progress is a great thing,” his mother said “And I think people ________CREATE__________ even more amazing communication devices in the near future.”

25. It was a cold January day in York, Pennsylvania. Dr. James turned on the television to check on the weather. The weatherman said that it was going to stay cold for several days. According to him, the roads _________BE_________ very dangerous because of the snow and ice and he strongly recommended staying at home if at all possible. Dr. James ________NOT/CAN__________ stay at home. He worked in a hospital and there were patients waiting for him there. He put on a sweater, jacket, gloves, boots and a hat, and opened his front door. Everything ________COVER__________ with snow. A cold wind blew inside. “Wow,” Dr. James said. “The weatherman was right! I wish I ________HAVE__________ a reindeer instead of my old car.” When Dr. James ________DRIVE__________ slowly to work, he saw an accident. He stopped and ________RUN__________ to the damaged car. There was a man and two _________CHILD_________ inside. “Is everyone okay?” Dr. James asked. “Yes, yes, we are fine,” answered the man. “I ________CALL__________ 911 already. They are coming to help _________WE_________. It looks like we won’t get to school today.”

26. Most adults miss their childhood. “Your school years are the ________GOOD__________ years of your life,” – have you ever heard that phrase? Just recently, while I was on my way to work, I started thinking back to my own school years. They probably were not trouble-free but there _________BE_________ many reasons for us to feel happy at school. One of them was spending every single day with friends. We ________NOT/GET __________ tired of being together. The _________TWO_________ one was uniform. Yes, in my opinion, the school uniform had more advantages than disadvantages. ________MY__________ was dark green. It was unfashionable but comfortable. It ________MAKE__________ of natural materials. Besides, the uniform saved a lot of time in the mornings. Now it _________TAKE_________ me hours to decide what to wear. Another thing is that I don’t really like sport. But at school we ________PLAY__________ football, netball, hockey and so on. Sport was compulsory. Now I realize that this was a good thing! And of course there were… holidays! Christmas, Easter, half-term, and the jackpot – the summer holidays. I wish I ________HAVE__________ as much free time now.

27. Tracey was very unhappy and scared. She was starting a new school. “I ________NOT/WANT__________ to go to school today,” Tracey told her father. “I understand, Tracey,” he said. “Starting a new school can be very difficult. But you have to.” A month before ________THEY__________ family had moved to a new town and everything was still new and strange for Tracey. Dad smoothed Tracey’s hair down and ________GIVE__________ her a little hug. “When your classes ________BE__________ over, I’ll pick you up, ok?” When Tracey got to school and looked at the big building, she thought, “I wish I ________CAN__________ run away,” but she knew it was impossible. She took a deep breath and walked up the steps to school. She went straight into her ________FIVE__________ grade classroom. “That must be Tracey,” “Hello, Tracey!”, “Welcome, Tracey!” the ________CHILD__________ in the room welcomed her. Everyone seemed friendly and Tracey felt a little ________GOOD__________. The father picked her up after school. “How was your day?” he asked. To his surprise Tracey answered that she ________LIKE__________ her new school. “You are a brave girl,” her father said. “I’m proud of you.”

28. After school, I decided to go to university. I _________CHOOSE_________ St Andrews University in Scotland. At that time I _________NOT/KNOW_________ much about the University but when I arrived there, I liked it at once. Now I'm in my last year and I wish I _________CAN_________ stay here forever! St Andrews University is a truly special place. It _________BUILD_________ 600 years ago and it is one of the oldest universities in the English-speaking world. It has many traditions – for example, the ‘May Dip’. It is held on the _________ONE_________ of May every year. All the students run into the North Sea at sunrise to celebrate the coming of spring and for good luck! One of my classmates said that the tradition _________HELP________­ him to pass his exams last summer. For me the ‘May Dip’ was the _________COLD_________ experience of my life! Because the weather is famously cold, St Andrews students designed _________THEY_________ own uniform which consists of a warm jacket, jeans and boat shoes. The uniform __________MAKE________ us all look the same, but it is the only way to keep warm!

29. Dad usually comes up with original ideas. Last Sunday Dad ________DECIDE__________ that we should all go on a camping trip. The idea came to him while he ________READ__________ an article about camping. The article said that camping brings families together. “Not true”, I smiled. “What about television? It usually ________HELP__________ families to feel a lot more united.” “If the weather is fine, we _________GO_________ on a trip next weekend,” Dad said and put his magazine on the coffee table. I quickly looked over at my ________YOUNG__________ brother, Paul. He gave me a knowing smile, “Do you remember ________WE__________ last trip?” I certainly did. Last summer Dad told us that fishing would be a great family activity. We bought four expensive fishing rods and drove for three long hours to a big lake in Virginia. When we got there, we discovered that we ________FORGET__________ to take the fishing rods. Ten minutes later we made another unpleasant discovery: we ________NOT/HAVE__________ the tent which meant we couldn’t stay overnight and we had to drive all the way back home again. We ________BE__________ tired and disappointed with the trip.

30. It was an early morning. Ben jumped out of his bed as soon as the ________ONE__________ rays of sun came into the room. He grabbed his backpack and started to pack. Ben put in some of his favourite things to take with _________HE_________ on the trip to Grandpa’s. He put in his favourite book, his kite and his teddy bear. Soon everything ________PACK__________ and he started to get dressed. Visiting Grandpa had always been the ________GOOD__________ part of his summer vacation. Ben’s mum entered his room. “Grandpa’s here,” she said with a smile. Ben told her that he _______BE_______ ready to go. He grabbed his backpack and ran into the kitchen where Grandpa ________DRINK__________ his tea. “Ready, big guy?” asked Grandpa. “Will you have breakfast before we leave?” “No, I ________NOT/BE__________ hungry”, Ben answered, “I’ll have breakfast at your place. Grandma ________COOK__________ something nice for me, hasn’t she?”

31. By today’s standards, my mobile phone is pretty basic. It’s a Nokia. It’s a small device that receives telephone calls and sends text messages. Other than that, my phone _________NOT/DO_________ much. Most of my friends wish they _________HAVE_________ smartphones because they are cool and trendy. They say the _________GOOD_________ thing about a smartphone is that you ‘can do everything with it!’ That’s right, smartphones have many more functions than a simple phone, however, not all of them are needed. In everyday life, smartphones _________USE_________ mainly for checking social networking sites, replying to emails, and playing games. Grown-ups as well as _________CHILD_________ like playing games. Anyway, I prefer my good old Nokia. It’s my _________ONE_________ mobile phone. When I bought it, it didn’t cost __________I________ very much. And I am not afraid anyone will ever steal it. It’s also very reliable. Yesterday I dropped it. It _________FLY_________ down the staircase and hit the wall. I thought that _________BE_________ the end of it and I would have to buy a new one. But nothing of the kind – it still works properly!

32. Bella was a good student. She ________ENJOY__________ learning but she always started to feel very nervous when she had to write tests. That Monday ________NOT/BE__________ a lucky day for her and she realised it as soon as she came into the classroom. “Oh, no! I ________LEAVE__________ all my pens at home.” She turned to Jenny: “Have you got a spare pen?” “Let _______I_______ see,” Jenny opened her bag and pulled out a pen. “I’ve got this one. But it’s green.” “Give it to me anyway,” Bella said. “If I don’t find a proper pen, I ________WRITE__________ in green ink. I hope it won’t affect my grades.” When the teacher handed out the tests, Bella felt even _________BAD_________ than she had felt before. The test was really long – the tasks ________PRINT__________ on both sides of the page! Bella did the first task quickly, but the ________TWO__________ one was a real problem. Bella got panicky. Time ticked on but she ________NOT/CAN__________ concentrate on the tasks.

33. Kate called me early in the morning. It was the ________TWO__________ day of holidays; I felt angry with her for waking me up. “What ________HAPPEN__________?” I didn’t sound very polite, but she paid no attention to that. “Oh, nothing! I want to go shopping today and wondered if you wanted to go with _________I_________.” “No, I don’t want to.” “But it _________NOT/TAKE_________ you long! I promise. My first impulse was to say “no”-unlike most _______WOMAN_______ I hated shopping. But Kate sounded so unhappy that I felt sorry for her. “Ok, what do you need to buy?” Kate’s voice _________BECOME_________ cheerful again. She excitedly explained to me that she _________WANT_________ to buy a pair of hiking boots and a raincoat. That _________BE_________ strange as Kate had never been fond of hiking. “I want to take up hiking as a new hobby,” went on Kate. “Bob Smith says that it’s very exciting.” Now I knew what was going on. Bob Smith, the captain of the school baseball team, was the _________POPULAR_________ boy in our school. All the girls wanted to attract his attention.

34. Stonehenge is an ancient monument in south-west England. For me, it’s the _________INTERESTING _________ place I’ve ever visited. I clearly remember my _________ONE_________ visit to Stonehenge with my aunt and uncle. They lived nearby and I often _________GO_________ to stay with them in my summer holidays. On the day of ________WE__________ trip the weather was fine. There _________BE_________ a cool wind blowing, the sun was bright in the sky and Stonehenge looked calm and magical. In those days it was possible to walk among the stones and even touch them. It's very different now. Stonehenge _________BECOME_________ more crowded than it was. As a result, now people _________ALLOW_________ to walk around the monument but they can’t come up very close to it. Today I wish I ________HAVE__________ an opportunity to get inside the circle again but unfortunately it is not possible any more. The Stonehenge mystery is still unexplained but I believe scientists ________SOLVE__________ it in the near future.

35. It was late at night but the light was on in Ted’s room. When I ________COME__________ in, he didn’t even turn to me. I looked at his monitor and realized that he _________SURF_________ the Internet for job vacancies. “Why do you need a job?” I asked. “You ________EMPLOY__________ by Mr. Green only a week ago as far as I remember.” “Yes, I was. I got a job of a waiter in his restaurant. But I ________LOSE__________ that job already. They said I was rude to a client.” “Were you?” I was surprised since Ted was the ________PATIENT__________ and tolerant person I’d ever met. “Yes, it was probably rude of _________I_________ to tell those ladies that I wouldn’t bring them anything else. Just imagine – they had changed their order three times! Each time they tried a dish, they _________NOT/LIKE_________ it. When they said that for the _________FOUR_________ time, I lost control. One of the ________WOMAN__________ called for the manager and complained.” Ted nervously turned back to his computer. “I didn’t like that job anyway.”

36. Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story happened to _________THEY_________ when they had to leave their home city, London, during the war. They _________SEND_________ to the house of an old Professor who lived in the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station. He _________NOT/HAVE_________ a wife and he lived in a very large house with a housekeeper. He himself was a very old man with white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head. The children liked him almost at once. Only Lucy, who was the _________YOUNG_________ of them, felt a little afraid of him. On their _________ONE_________ evening, after dinner, they said good night to the Professor and went upstairs. It was the largest house they had ever seen, so Peter suggested exploring it in the morning. When the next morning came, there was a steady rain falling. "I wish the weather _________BE_________ more cheerful!" said Edmund. "Stop complaining, Ed," said Susan. "I think the weather _________IMPROVE_________ soon." "We were going to explore the house," Peter reminded them. He _________EAT_________ a sandwich at the moment and was absolutely happy with the whole situation. Everyone nodded and at that point their amazing adventures _________BEGIN_________.

37. Martin was in a hurry as he had to be in the office as soon as possible. His boss ________NOT/LIKE__________ it when anyone missed the morning meetings and Martin had already been late several times that week. His boss had warned him: “If you are late again, you _________LOSE_________ your job.” Martin was afraid of losing his job. His colleagues were nice to him, the salary was good and he sometimes ________GO__________ on business trips abroad. It was actually the ________GOOD__________ job he had ever had. He ran out of the house, jumped into his car and backed up without looking. BOOM! There ________BE__________ a sound like someone hitting a drum. Martin had hit the car behind him. “Oh, no!” Martin exclaimed. Martin glanced at his watch. It was 7:18. He looked around. There were no ________POLICEMAN__________ on the street and he decided to drive off quickly. It took ________HE__________ 20 minutes to get to work. The boss was not around. “Thank goodness,” Martin said to himself and sat down at his desk to work. The boss arrived an hour later. “Somebody hit my car and left without leaving a note,” he said angrily. “I wish I ________KNOW__________ who he was. My car was absolutely new! It ________BUY__________ only a week ago.” Martin went up to the window, saw the car and understood that he would lose his job anyway.

However, at weekends she ________FEEL__________ bored and lonely. Emma had moved to the city because of her job. Only two months before she had thought she was the _________LUCKY_________ girl in the world – She had got a job most of her friends could only dream about. It was her _______ONE_______ full-time job. The company _________CALL_________ “Imagination”. They focused on Internet technologies. Emma ________NOT/KNOW__________ much about the Internet but her boss said that it didn’t matter. He also said that she _________BE_________ creative and had imagination and that was why she had a good chance of succeeding in the job. When Emma told her friend, Lucy Pitt, about the new job, Lucy said: “I’m very happy that you _________FIND_________ a good job.

39. Mr. and Mrs. Wormwood were our neighbours. They had two ________CHILD__________. Their son Michael _________NOT/DIFFER_________ from the other children very much, but their daughter Matilda was a brilliant child. By the time she was five, Matilda was able to read very well. She studied every magazine and newspaper that she ________CAN__________ find around the house. Actually, she read ________WELL__________ than most school pupils. One afternoon when the parents were out of the house, Matilda put on ________SHE__________ dress and shoes and went to the library. The librarian was surprised to see such a small child. "Are you here for the ________ONE__________ time? Would you like me to find a nice book with lots of pictures for you?" she asked. "No, thank you, I ________FIND__________ what I need," answered Matilda and pointed to a thick book of fairy tales. Then she added, “I _________COME_________ for a new book as soon as I finish this one”. The librarian was really shocked when she saw Matilda only two days later. “I wish all children _________LIKE_________ reading so much,” the librarian said. From that day on Matilda went to the library every afternoon.

40. The phone woke Kim up. She answered the call almost immediately, after the _______THREE_______ beep, because she was expected her mother to call. But it wasn’t her.

She’s out. She ________WALK__________ in the park.” It was very cold out-of-doors and everything ________COVER__________ in snow but Kim’s mother walked in all weathers. She believed that it ________HELP__________ her keep fit and gave her extra energy. She actually looked younger than other _________WOMAN_________ of her age and that was probably because of her walking. “Can I take a message?” Kim asked politely. “No. I ________CALL__________ her later. When is she going to be back?” “She normally ________COME__________ home at five.” “Fine,” came the answer and the phone went dead. Kim felt a bit hurt. “It’s not polite to break off a conversation like that,” she thought to herself. If I _________BE_________ older, I would explain to that lady how to talk to people politely.”

41. When you look at this lovely house in the Welsh countryside, you may think it's a picture from J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit". In fact it's a real house designed by a real person. When _________THEY_________ first son was born, Simon Dale’s wife, Jasmine, said: “I wish we _________LIVE_________ in the country. It would be so good for the baby”. However, they ________NOT/HAVE__________ enough money to buy or rent a house in the country so they decided to take matters into their own hands. The house _________BUILD_________ by Simon himself, with a bit of help from his friends. The result was impressive. The home is made of natural materials, such as wood, stone and mud. It uses solar panels for energy and its water ________COME__________ from a nearby spring. It took Simon four months to complete his fairytale home. He managed to create a modern wooden eco-home – one of the ________WONDERFUL__________ houses you can imagine.

It was the winter and I _________IMPRESS_________ by the amount of snow there. I asked my new friends what they usually _________DO_________ for entertainment in such a cold climate. Their answer was simple, “In winter _________CHILD_________ and adults go skiing and skating.” Before arriving in Canada I had never tried skating and my Canadian ice experience was really painful. To start with, it took _________I_________ half an hour to put on the skates. I _________NOT/KNOW_________ how to move so my new friends showed me some basic techniques. However, when I was left alone on the ice, I ________FALL__________ over immediately. When I opened my eyes, my new friends were standing around. They weren’t laughing, they looked worried. “Are you OK?” they asked. “Fine,” I said, “I wish I _________CAN_________ skate as easily as you do.” “You definitely will,” they smiled. And they were right. By the end of my ________ONE__________ winter in Canada, I felt confident on the ice. More than that, I found out that skating was a really exciting activity!

43. It was about 6pm when I heard a knock on the door. It _______BE___________ Jason, my teenage neighbour. He looked cold and upset. “What’s wrong, Jason?” “I _______LOSE___________ my key and I can’t get into my house.” “Come in. Today’s not a day for long walks, or long waits,” I looked out the window. It _________SNOW_________ hard and it was windy. The weather was getting ________BAD__________ every hour. Jason ________TAKE__________ off his coat and boots. His _______FOOT___________ were wet and I gave him a pair of socks to change into. A cup of hot tea and some biscuits soon made the boy feel warm. “Where are your parents, Jason?” “I ________NOT/KNOW__________. I can’t call them because of this,” he pulled his phone out of his pocket and showed it to me – the screen _________BREAK_________ and the phone was obviously dead. Jason focused on the food again. He took his ________FOUR__________ biscuit and said: “I wish my mum could make biscuits like this.”

44. Paul was going to be late for his morning class again. He _________NOT/ UNDERSTAND_________ why it happened to him so often. This was going to be the _________THREE_________ time in one week and that was too much even for Mrs Pitt. She was the _________KIND_________ teacher in the world but Paul wasn’t sure that she would forgive him again. “If I don’t invent a very good excuse, she ________CALL__________ my parents.” Paul thought. His parents ________NOT/BE__________ very strict people but they didn’t approve of Paul’s habit of playing computer games till late at night. As a result, he couldn’t make _________HE_________ get up in the morning and was regularly late for school. Paul quietly opened the door and _________GO_________ into the classroom. His classmates _________WRITE_________ something in their notepads and didn’t pay any attention to him. Mrs Pitt looked at him and said in a flat voice: “You are late again, Paul. What ________HAPPEN__________?”

45. Kitty lived next door to me and we’d been friends since childhood. We learnt at the same school and ________WALK__________ there together. I was sixteen and she was four years ________YOUNG__________ than me. But we had a lot in common and enjoyed chatting on ________WE__________ way to school. Every morning Kitty knocked on my door and I had to be ready by that time – she ________NOT/LIKE__________ waiting for me. One day she didn’t knock. When I caught up with her at the bus stop, she ________READ__________ a magazine and didn’t even look at me. I ________NOT/CAN__________ understand what was going on. “Hey, Kitty, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking to ________I__________?” “You yourself know why,” Kitty said angrily. “No, I don’t. I wouldn’t ask you if I ________KNOW__________.” “You went to the cinema with Lisa Parker yesterday,” Kitty was almost crying. I felt puzzled and didn’t know what to say. The two ________WOMAN__________ at the bus stop looked amused at our conversation and didn’t hide their smiles.

I’m neither of those.” Her parents smiled but ________ NOT/SAY __________ anything. “But what colour to choose? I wish we _________ CAN _________ ask a designer for professional advice,” said Kathy. “Oh, no! It’s out of the question!” said Kathy’s mother, firmly. A designer’s advice is much _________ EXPENSIVE _________ than we can afford.” “Ok. It was just an idea.” “Getting back to the wall colour, why not make your room yellow or orange?” Dad suggested. “When the walls _________ PAINT _________ in those colours, the room will look cheerful.” “Yes!” Kathy definitely liked the idea. “We’ll make three walls yellow, but the _________ FOUR _________ one will be orange.” The next day, when Kathy came back from school, her Dad said: “Look what I ______ BUY ________.” There were paints and brushes on the floor. “Everything’s ready for us to start.” He smiled and handed Kathy the brush.

Dylan was very pleased with the new look. The only problem was that the car stereo _________ NOT/WORK _________ properly. Dylan managed to fix it himself.

However, this time, it was a job for a mechanic. So he _________ TAKE _________ his car to the closest service station.

5. July 17^th was coming. It would be Mark’s _________ THIRTEEN _________ birthday. His Mum asked him what he _________ WANT _________ as a gift.

After dinner the parents had a discussion about the present. “I think we should give Mark the telescope,” Dad said. “But we ________ SPEND __________ all our savings already,” Mum responded. “We bought some new furniture and paid for our holidays. I wish we _________ CAN _________ buy him this present but we really can’t.” “I think, we can,” Dad smiled. “Look, I’ve got an old friend, Nick, whose father was interested in astronomy. His father died many years ago, and Nick keeps all his things in the attic. I think he _________ AGREE _________ to sell us his telescope at half price.” Nick ________ PLANT __________ roses in the garden when Mum and Dad arrived at his house. “Yes, sure,” he said. “There are lots of _________ BOX _________ in the attic.

One day, Cindy returned from the park very excited. “Guess, who I met in the park!” she said, and she told her parents the whole story. “I _________ WALK _________ along the central avenue when I saw a group of people. They ________ BE _________ students of the Biology faculty of the university. They told _________ I _________ about the plan to rearrange the park. A large lake is going to be made in the centre.

He _________ KNOW _________ a lot about them! He could tell one bird from another by their songs and footprints.
