Writing text messages while walking is dangerous. A study says it is more dangerous than texting while driving. Researchers found that there are more {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (injury) to texting pedestrians(行人) than there are to texting motorists. Their report says walking is not as easy {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we think. We must focus on many things at the same time to walk safely in a straight line. The researchers said that people forget how to walk {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (proper), so dangerous things happen to them. They bump(撞) into walls and other people. They walk into cars, fall over things in the street, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} even fall into holes.

    A professor said walking is a difficult action. There are several reasons {#blank#}5{#/blank#} texting makes walking dangerous. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is that people cannot see the street. Another is that they focus on their phone keyboard instead of their feet. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else—they are not thinking about {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (walk) from A to B safely. The professor said over 6,000 people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (visit) his hospital last year because of texting. He said {#blank#}9{#/blank#} worst cases are head injuries. When a pedestrian is tossed into the air he/she has nothing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (protect) the head. The damage can be serious.

When I was a kid, Mom used to cook food for us. One night after {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(spend) a long hard day at work, Mom placed a plate of bread jam and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (extreme) burnt toast in front of my dad, I was waiting {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (see) if he noticed it. However, while eating his toast. Dad just asked me {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to Dad for burning the toast. I'll never forget what Dad said, “Honey, I love burnt toast.”

    Later that night, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) to kiss Daddy good night and asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He gave me {#blank#}7{#/blank#}big hug and said, “Your mamma put in a long hard day at work today, really {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tire). Besides, a burnt toast never hurts but cold words do!”

What I've learned over the years {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) that learning to accept each other's faults is one of the most important {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(key) to creating a healthy, growing and lasting relationship.

The Internet {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(become) part of young people's life already. A report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet . Most of them get {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (use) information on the Internet {#blank#}3{#/blank#}use the Internet to help their studies. But many students don't use it {#blank#}4{#/blank#}a good way. Some play games too much, some visit websites that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}shouldn't look at. So bad things may happen{#blank#}6{#/blank#}students spend too much time on the Internet.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} is important for students to use the Internet properly. Now we have a textbook,{#blank#}8{#/blank#}uses many examples to teach students some good ways to use the Internet. It gives useful {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (advise).

    Some students also make friends on the Internet.  But  if you want to have  a face-to-face {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (meet) with your online friends, let your parents know and meet in a proper place.

    Happiness can be described {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. There are many factors {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(contribute) to happiness.

    A person in an apparently ideal situation is not {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(necessary) happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.

    A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.

    The rich {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(believe) that this is mainly.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} they have more opportunity to control their {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(life). Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.

    Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(disable) or those in pain. Learning {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(cope)with a health problem can contribute to happiness.

    I was nine years old when I leant to ride a bike. The bike was a birthday present from my uncle. You can imagine how excited I was when I saw the bike, and I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (beg) my uncle to teach me how to ride it right away. However, before I got on the bike, I felt{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(extreme) nervous and I was afraid that I would fall off and hurt myself. My uncle held onto the seat and helped me to get on the bike. While I was riding, he was running along beside me, holding the seat {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I would not fall over. I was so grateful to him for his help.

As I was practicing, I became more and more confident. Then, I heard my uncle {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (shout), "You are riding it by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(you) now!" I was both excited and scared. I was really riding by myself, but what if I fell off? Could I use the brakes {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(stop)? As I was wondering about this, my uncle ran after me and got hold of the bike. I slowed down and came to{#blank#}7{#/blank#}stop. My heart was still beating fast when I got off the bike.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (late) that day, having learnt how to get on the bike and get off it, I felt like I was walking on air! I am still{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(thank) to my uncle for teaching me to ride a bike{#blank#}10{#/blank#}my ninth birthday.

    Every Thanksgiving my family and I, along with others, prepare and serve Thanksgiving meals for the people in our small mountain community. My husband and I also bring meals to the disabled.

    This Thanksgiving we did {#blank#}1{#/blank#} same. After delivering them to some individual apartments, we went to the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (centre) dining room. We put the boxes filled with Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and some other foods on the tables. People invited {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (we) to stay, and thanked us, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} we had other deliveries and had to leave. As we started to go out, I turned around and saw them all {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (watch) us. Then I asked, "Would anybody like a hug?" They lined up. There was so much {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (warm) in each hug.

    My eyes {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (fill) with tears and my heart with love. Now I visit now and then {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (chat) and, of course, hug. This year at my Thanksgiving delivery, when they line up {#blank#}9{#/blank#} their hugs, I am going to have them turn around and hug each other. These people have no family at Thanksgiving-- what could be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) for them than hugs!
