（4）Since the government built the canals （水架），everything ______ in my hometown.
（5）With the water projects（水利工程），the villagers now live a（an） ______ life now.
【分析】略
【解答】When I was young，people in our village lived by growing apple trees.My grandparents also grew some on the top of the hill.I often helped them in the fields after school.At that time，we had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill up to the top to water the trees.Even though we worked hard，the apple trees didn't grow well because it was short of water.So the villagers lived a poor life.
When I was 15，I went to a big town for my high school.I missed my grandparents and was worried that they couldn't do the farm work all by themselves.However，when I came back to the village one year later，I happily saw canals（水渠） and other projects in our village.I asked my grandparents how it happened，they told me that the government built these water projects for the villagers.
Since the government built the canals，everything has changed in my hometown.The canals run past every field.The villagers don't have to go up and down the hill to get water from the river.The fruit trees grow so well that my grandparents can't stop smiling.
Thanks to the government，the villagers can live an easy and happy life now.
（1）growing apple trees；（2）river；（3）15；（4）has changed；（5）easy and happy

Natalie Mcknight，a literature professor （文学教授），studies Dickens and his books.She explains why he has been so popular.One important reason is that Dickens wrote from（5）　his　 hearts.In his works，he paid special attention to the"little man" at the bottom of the society（社会）in the UK.This showed the social problems at that time（6）　deeply　.A Christmas Carol，for example，was written to make every reader to think about how they could make a（7）　difference　 to their society.People always enjoy works that make them laugh，cry and think.Many other 19th century novelists also wrote some popular works.However，few of them worked as hard as Dickens to touch the（8）　readers'　hearts.
Today，people are still （9）　interested　 in Dickens' books.He used his pen to fight bad things in life and gave voice to the poor.And readers like to see poor people （10）　succeed　and win.
To remember this great writer，will you read or re﹣read some of his famous books？
