Aesop (伊索) was a slave living around 550 BC. We call the stories he wrote fables, as every story has a moral. Almost all the fables he wrote are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (humor) and entertaining, appealing to people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} all ages. Till now, Aesop's fables {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (translate) into many languages and are known all over the world. Not only {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the fables themselves lived for nearly 1500 years, but the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (express) from them have entered various languages.

    One fable, for instance, is about a farmer who was driving his cart along a country road. The cart got {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (stick) in the mud, but the farmer made {#blank#}7{#/blank#} effort to get it out. Instead, he began to pray to the gods for help. The god Hercules finally appeared and told {#blank#}8{#/blank#} man to get busy and push {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. “Push your shoulder to the wheel.” Hercules advised.

    The moral of the story is clear. We mustn't rely on others for help. Another saying which has come from the fable is “God helps those {#blank#}10{#/blank#} help themselves.”

Over the past years Starbucks coffee{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(become) a coffee chain store. The cafes don't sell coffee; they sell{#blank#}2{#/blank#}very atmosphere. They offer customers the perfect atmosphere{#blank#}3{#/blank#} which to take time out and relax. Every single store throughout the world is furnished in a romantic style and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(special) meant to be cozy, private and quiet: earth-toned (褐色调) space, fancy wall paper, lovely paintings,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (amaze) background and irresistible coffee smell……The most fantastic decoration style about Starbucks {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(design) with oversized chairs and tables outside the store. When{#blank#}7{#/blank#}comes to a sunny afternoon, I love to take a seat outside,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bath) in the afternoon sunshine, and listening to the lovely music{#blank#}9{#/blank#}tasting the most terrific Cappuccino. This is exactly what I love in here —-the Starbucks ! This is the café I love not merely because of the café itself, but also because of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(feel) it brings me.

—Yeah，but I have to consult the telephone book {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his address.

    China is rich in tourist {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (attract). The long Chinese history and splendid culture {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (leave) it with many places of interest over the past centuries. The ancient Chinese laboring people created lots of world wonders, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (include)the Great Wall. It is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} long that you can't see the end of it. From {#blank#}5{#/blank#} distance, it looks like a dragon on tops of mountain chains. Another {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (history) site in China is the Potala Palace, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was once served {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the office building of Tibet local government. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fortunate), to help preserve the buildings, only a few people {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (admit) each day.

    We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, some of us are upset {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their body styles and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all. We needn't care about it. It is one's inner beauty {#blank#}3{#/blank#} matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood {#blank#}4{#/blank#} our teachers, parents and classmates.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (face) with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (understand). Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (friend) will do you good .Third, we may fall behind others, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to work efficiently, full of determination. At last, some of us don't have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some, that's enough. And we can learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to spend money!
