Long ago there was a poor farmer called Fred. Fred and his wife Doris lived {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(happy) together in their small old house. One winter night, the Luck Fairy visited {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    “Fred, you're a good farmer. I'd like to give you a wish,” said the Luck Fairy.

    “A wish?” said Fred.

    Fred and Doris smiled {#blank#}3{#/blank#}each other. Then Fred said, “Thank you, Luck Fairy. We're very healthy and happy.”

    “You work very hard {#blank#}4{#/blank#}you make very little money. Would you like some gold coins?” asked the Luck Fairy.

    “We're poor, but we have enough food {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(eat).” replied Fred.

    “You can use the gold coin to buy {#blank#}6{#/blank#}clothes. The winter here is very cold,” said Luck Fairy.

    “{#blank#}7{#/blank#} we haven't got many clothes, we've got enough.” said Doris.

    “Well, what about {#blank#}8{#/blank#}nice new house?” asked Luck Fairy.

    “Thank you, but I love my small old house very much. I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(live) here since I was born. We don't need a new house,” said Fred.

    “You're quite different {#blank#}10{#/blank#}others. I like you very much,” said the Luck Fairy. “I wish you happy forever.” Then the Luck Fairy disappeared and never came back.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (expose) to smoking for a long time, you may find it hard to give it up. And the effects it has {#blank#}2{#/blank#} you may die hard. But do you know {#blank#}3{#/blank#}it is that results in such a situation? First, quantities of nicotine you get into your body{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) the source of your physical addiction. Second, your habit is to blame and you just can't accustom{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (you) to the absence of nicotine in your body. Third, most{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(probable), you can be mentally addicted and believe smoking makes you feel good. However, demanding as it is, you do not need to put up with the situation. Every time you feel{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(anxiety), just remember under no circumstances should you reach for a cigarette. It's also suggested that help{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(need) if the situation is desperate. Of course, the most important is to{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (strong) your resolve whenever you want to quit. And you can depend on it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you can completely get rid of it as long as you keep trying.

    The Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a dragon, it winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (run) approximately 21, 196 kilometers from east to west.

    The {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (construct) of the Great Wall was not that easy, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} drew heavily on the local resources for building materials. The walls were {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (origin) built in the Spring & Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Emperor Qin Shi Huang succeeded in his effort to have them joined together. Since then, the Great Wall {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (serve) as a monument of the Chinese nation throughout history.

    With {#blank#}6{#/blank#} history of about 2, 700 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ruins or have disappeared. However, the Great Wall of China is still one of the most appealing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (attraction) all around the world owing to its historical significance. The best-known part of the Great Wall of China, Badaling, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (locate) 43 miles northwest of Beijing, attracts thousands of national and foreign tourists every day.

    Today, the Great Wall {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (recognize) as one of the most important impressive architectural achievements in history.

    We were studying Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in the class. Each of us {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (require) to play a scene from the play, and I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (joke) asked to play the nurse. How the classmates responded aroused my interest. They thought I, a guy, couldn't play the nurse. But I decided I was going to be the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) nurse to explode on the stage of the class. That fateful week, I imprinted the lines of the nurse in my head. On the day of the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (perform), I walked onto the stage, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (dress) in my grandmother's Italian suit, and poured my heart and soul {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the scene. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} look of astonishment on my classmates' faces was all I needed to realize what school {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mean) to me. School was a place {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I could explore unknown areas of my mind and uncover new ideas about the world. Perhaps this realization had never shown {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (it) before, because I never been brave enough to uncover it.

    Summer is over, but there's no reason to be upset as that means autumn is upon us, arguably the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (good) season of the year.

    Beijing's autumn is extremely short, so parks around the city fill up fast with people coming to see the season's sight—a show of changing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (color) as the trees turn from dark green to deep red. There are plenty of places in the city center {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (catch) the golden Gingko leaves, but I'm heading just outside of the Fifth Ring Road to see the season on {#blank#}4{#/blank#} larger scale.

    Despite parks like Xiangshan getting so busy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} you need tickets a week in advance, there are still areas well-known and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (frequent) visited by the Beijing crowds, and Baiwangshan, one of such places, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (locate) 3km from the Summer Palace to the city's North West. It offers hiking tails and beautiful views of the city and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surround) forests.

    I love coming to Beijing's parks at this time of year because I can always enjoy {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (I), bathing in the last of the good weather and golden colors. You never know {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you're going to find around every corner.
