二、完形填空(10分)
My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the 1 of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then putting the artwork in an envelope (信封). He then posted his handwork to the neighbours. To be 2 , I didn’t think much of it.
Last Tuesday, I was walking to school to pick up my son when I meet Mary, my elderly neighbour, 3 at her letterbox.

I’ve 4 every item he has sent. 5 the letters has brightened my day.” While I was walking down to school after our talk, many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days, 6 she was a mother to a number of adult children. The small offer of getting some letters — pictures drawn by a young child — has brought 7 to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should 8 this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will 9 make their day.
