[題組:第32到34題] Since the first case of “Cow Cold” was reported in Kirk State in June, this killer cold has moved up north faster than we thought it would. By July, almost every part of the country had been attacked by Cow Cold. In only two months, the number of dead cows has risen to 5,000. Though Cow Cold started in the south, the east of the country is the worst hit area. By this week, 80% of the farms in Osten State have reported cases of Cow Cold.
The sale of milk in Osten State has slumped because of Cow Cold. Before Cow Cold, the sale of milk in Osten State was $2.5 million each week; now it is less than $500,000.
Odin State is the only area in the north without cases of Cow Cold. Before we know how to deal with Cow Cold, we can only hope Odin State will be lucky enough not to experience the power of this killer cold. (Elaine Baker, City Post)

It was 11 p.m. and Molly walked out of her bakery. She turned and looked at her store one last time. She wanted to remember what it _____ at the moment. A few hours later, people would come and clean out everything in the store. A young man had bought it. He _____ it into a flower shop.
Before it was a bakery, this place _____ a small coffee shop. Molly worked in the shop as a waitress. But taking orders was never Molly’s dream; baking was. When she knew her boss planned to sell the shop, she borrowed money and bought it.
Her bakery had been open for thirty years. Thirty very wonderful years. However, it would all come to an end tonight. Molly _____ the bakery to be a family business. But her daughter was never interested in baking. Molly did not want her business in a stranger’s hands, so after some serious thinking, she decided to close it.
“Goodbye, my dear old friend,” Molly looked at the store, whispering.
