When someone tells me that I need to lose weight, I feel confused (困惑的). 1 fact, my weight is 57 kg and my 2 (high) is 164 cm. I think this is just the right weight for me.

I 5 (not reach) my target (目标) weight yet.” She is trying to lose weight in different ways, such as by 6 (take) medicine and exercising.
In my opinion, we have to 7 (care) about our health as well. Losing weight is a long process and as a student, you might not have enough time 8 (do) it. I want to tell all the girls out there that they are beautiful and that it 9 (not matter) how much they weigh. You can be anyone you want and wear anything you want. Just be 10 (you).
We are a family of four. We 11 (have) wonderful travel experiences over the past ten years.
Some of our experiences are funny, especially from the early years when our 12 (child) were little. Once, we were camping along the Sunshine River. I was 13 (worry) that our 15-month-old son would fall into the river. I tied a rope around 14 (he) hand to keep him close to me. Only ten minutes. He was uncomfortable, and his crying let the whole camp ground know it. So instead of tying him up, I just kept a close eye on him. It worked—he didn’t fall into the river. Our five-year-old daughter, 15 , did.
Another time, we 16 (ride) horses in the mountains. The sky was clear when we started, but suddenly black clouds moved in 17 (quick). Soon, there was a big storm. No luck. The horses were afraid, 18 we were afraid too. We all stood there helplessly. In no time, we were all wet. Luckily, the storm stopped 19 just five minutes, and we were safe.
Now, every year when we go 20 (travel), we are all excited. We wonder what fun and experiences we will have next.

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者学习游泳的经历。
86．句意：对一些人来说，游泳是小菜一碟。根据“how I learnt to swim”及下文可知，此处讲的是游泳；根据“is”可知，此处动名词形式做主语，swim的动名词形式为swimming。故填(s)wimming。
87．句意：他们在儿童时期就学会了游泳。根据下文“when I was a five-year-old girl”及常识可知，大部分人儿童时期就学游泳；根据空前边的“they were”，可知此空填复数形式，child的复数是children。故填(c)hildren。
88．句意：当我还是个五岁的女孩时，我害怕水。根据“was afraid”可知，考查短语be afraid of“害怕”，故填(o)f。
89．句意：但我决定学习游泳！根据上文“about how I learnt to swim”可知，此处问learn“学习”；根据“decide to”可知，考查短语decide to do“决定去做某事”，所以此空填动词原形。故填(l)earn。
90．句意：在前两节课中，我做得很糟糕。根据“I felt very sad”可知，我做的不好，所以填bad；根据“did”可知，此空填副词修饰动词，所以填badly。故填(b)adly。
