    If the new students {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(accept),many universities will offer an instruction programme for them to get to know the procedures for students advising,university rules,the use of the library and all the other major services of the university.

    Beginning a new life in a new place can be very {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(confuse).The more knowledge students have about the school,the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(easy) it will be for them to adapt to the new environment.However, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} takes time to get used to college life.

    Do you have any idea of New Year paintings? Also {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(know) as "paper paintings" and "painted pictures", New Year paintings are a unique art form in Chinese folk culture. Without New Year paintings, our traditional Chinese folk culture {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) much less colorful. The paintings get such a name because they are {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(most) posted during the Chinese New Year holiday for decoration and they are also accepted {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a symbol of New Year's greetings.

    New Year paintings {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(appear) around the Tang dynasty, replacing the previous door pictures believed to be able to protect the residents and drive away ghosts. The New Year paintings {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(belong) to the Song dynasty were created on a large scale.

    In recent years, learning Chinese{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(become) popular among people around the world. Last month, I received an email from my friend Jack in Canada. He said he was enthusiastic about China, and asked me to find him some books which {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (intend) for Chinese beginners, I was pleased to do such a favor. So I went from one bookstore to another,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (hope) to find something suitable for him. Finally I selected a set of Chinese textbooks among a variety of similar ones.

    John Allen, an American scientist once said, "The Internet is the world's {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(large) library, but all the books in it are on the floor!" What he meant {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) that the Internet is full of information but it can be difficult to find {#blank#}3{#/blank#}you really need. The Internet has another {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(advantage). Anyone can create a website, so you can find websites about whatever you can imagine. Unfortunately, a lot of what {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(write) on them isn't always true! At the same time, the Internet provides many other things. On some websites, you can download music and films. They are usually very cheap and some are even free. On some other websites, you can connect with people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} all over the world. And there are some great online shops, too.

    It is true that the Internet {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(change) the way we work and communicate so far. But we shouldn't depend on {#blank#}8{#/blank#}too much. Some people are also afraid that {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(surf) the Internet has taken the place of other healthier activities，{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(especial) for young people. Whether you love it or hate it, though, you'd better get used to it because it's right here to stay.

    It was the spring of 1943 during World War Ⅱ. Standing among hundreds of new {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(soldier)at Camp Grant, Sam, just 18 years old, waited as a truck slowly drove by. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} full field pack was randomly thrown to each soldier.

    Sam received{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (he). After he opened the pack and looked at the things in it, he was greatly{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(astonish). He found his last name, Litrenti, was marked on each thing in his pack. "How strange!" Sam thought. He didn't think the one {#blank#}5{#/blank#} threw the field pack to him knew who he was.

    So why was Sam's last name marked on the things? You may not believe it, but it was the field pack that his father {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(use)during World War I.

    Sam {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(certain) didn't know that when he received it. It wasn't until after the war {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he found out why.

    After the war, he talked {#blank#}9{#/blank#}that with his father. After {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (talk)for a while, Sam's father became sure that the pack once belonged to him.

    Both the father and the son couldn't believe that! What a coincidence!
