Patient: Good morning, doctor.

Doctor: Morning. What seems to be the trouble?

Patent: It's my vision. I can't see well at night, and when I wake up in the morning, it takes me a few minutes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I can see clearly.

Doctor: OK. I'm going to take a closer look. Just relax. How {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has this been going on?

Patient: A couple of weeks, I guess -- wow, that's bright!

Doctor: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it hurt when I do that?

Patient: Not exactly. It's just really bright.

Doctor: OK. Please, go on.

Patient: Well, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (walk) down to the basement in my house about three weeks ago when I slipped and bumped my head pretty hard on the steps.

Doctor: Where exactly did you hit your head?

Patient: Right on the back. I heard a loud sound, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} everything seemed to be okay.

Doctor: You didn't get it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (check) out then?

Patient: No, I didn't. Well, a week passed, and all of a sudden I started to have problems {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my sight. I first noticed it when I was driving back home from work. It's gotten {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bad) over the past week.

Doctor: I'm glad you came. I'm going to order some tests, and I want to make {#blank#}9{#/blank#} appointment for you to see a specialist tomorrow morning. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hope), nothing is too serious.

    All through high school, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(play) football, basketball, and soccer, and I was on the track team. But boxing was the sport that I liked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (much) because It's more {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(challenge)and exciting to me. I found that I enjoyed the Anil of the one-on-one competition. I also liked the feet that it was up to me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I won or lost – that I was the determining factor. I think I've always been a competitor, and winning would give me {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (satisfy) and a good feeling about myself. I wanted to win every time.

    I started training with Bruce who got me into the boxing. With Bruce {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (act) as my boxing coach, friend, mentor, and a father figure for me {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(look) up to, I learned that boxing is a sweet science{#blank#}8{#/blank#}I could use my brain as well as my strength and size. I used my ability to focus under pressure. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (train) for several years, I went from being a street fighter {#blank#}10{#/blank#}a gold medal-winning Olympic champion.

    Hua Mulan was a brave girl in the Northern Wei dynasty. She disguised (假扮){#blank#}1{#/blank#} (her) as a man, and joined the army in place of her father. Mulan's father, once{#blank#}2{#/blank#} soldier, taught his daughter military (军事的) skills{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(include)horse riding and how to fight. Hua Mulan also read her father's books{#blank#}4{#/blank#} military science.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(drive) away the Rouran nomads (游牧民族), the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(rule) of Northern Wei ordered that every family should send a man off to war against them. Mulan's old father, as well as her young brother, was not able to go and fight. So Mulan {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(decide) to join the army instead of her father. Mulan fought for 12 years{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (successful) without her true identity being discovered.  Mulan became a hero{#blank#}9{#/blank#} bravery moved people greatly, and she{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(offer) a high position, but she refused it.

    Even though her story might be no more than a legend, Hua Mulan has been respected as a filial (孝顺的) daughter by Chinese people for hundreds of years.

    One news story about the modem Olympics is about men {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (pretend) to be women to enter the women's events, People are arguing about how fair {#blank#}2{#/blank#} is to test woman athletes to make sure they are not men. One side argues that men are {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (strong), so they will win any women's event. They say that women should be tested to make sure they are not men. The other side argues that this is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fair)to women. They say skill is more important than strength. But has this ever really happened? {#blank#}5{#/blank#} answer is yes, several times! The most famous case is that of Dora in the 1936 Olympic Games.

    The Olympics {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hold) in Berlin, Germany, three years after the Nazis came {#blank#}7{#/blank#} power. The Nazis wanted to win lots of events, but they had wrong ideas about race. They did not want black or Jewish people in the German team. But many of their best athletes were Jewish. The Nazis did not let these athletes compete. But that meant they might lose events! One event {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the Nazis thought they might lose was the women's high Jump. So the Nazis sent a male athlete, Hermann Ratjen, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (compete) under the name of “Dora”. Did he win? No. “Dora” came fourth. The {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (win) was a young Jewish woman from Hungary. She jumped 1.60 metres. “Dora” only jumped 1.58 metres. So men do not always win.

    A 90-year-old has been awarded“Woman Of The Year”for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （be）Britain's oldest full-time employee-still working 40 hours a week.

    Picking up her "Lifetime Achievement" award，proud Irene {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（declare） she had no plans {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （retire） from her 36-year-old business. Irene said," I don't see any reason to give up work. I love coming here and seeing my family and all the friends I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（make） over the years. I work not because I have to, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} because I want to.”

    Granddaughter Gayle Parks，31-who works alongside her in the family business-said it remained unknown as to who nominated Irene for the award. She said，"We don't have any idea who put grandma forward. When we got a call {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （say）she was short-listed，we thought it was {#blank#}9{#/blank#} joke. But then we got an official letter and we were blown away. We are so proud of her. It's {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (wonder）."
