The task of being accepted by a university begins early for some students.Long before {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(graduate) from high school,these students take special courses to prepare for advanced study.They may also take one or more examinations to test how well prepared they are for the university.In the final year of high school,they complete {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(apply) and send them to the universities {#blank#}3{#/blank#}interest them most.Some high school students may be required to have {#blank#}4{#/blank#}interview with people from the university.Neatly {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(dress) and a little bit frightened,they are determined {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(show) that they have a good attitude and the ability to succeed.

    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.

    Once upon a time, there was a man from the State of Chu who loved his sword very much. One day, he was sitting in a boat{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(prepare)to cross a river, when he accidentally dropped his sword into the water.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}his ship moving fast on and the water running, the people on board reminded that he should go into the water to find his beloved sword back. The man felt in great{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(anxious)too. However, he turned a deaf ear to that and instead, he  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(immediate) took out a knife and made a notch(刻痕)on the side of the boat{#blank#}5{#/blank#}his dear sword fell. The people wondered why he did so. He said proudly the notch could help{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(get)his sword back. Shortly after the   {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(arrive)at the shore, he entered the water just beneath the notch he made. Though{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(spend)rather a long time, he returned empty-handed. Without doubt, he was laughed at in public and his story became{#blank#}9{#/blank#}well-known joke in China.

    Today the idiom {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(relate)to the story is used to describe a person who stick to rigid rules without considering a changing environment or describes an action made pointless by changing circumstances.

    Many people think when they become rich and successful, happiness will {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(nature) follow. However, the world is full of rich people who are miserable as if they {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(live) in Hell. We have read some stories about movie stars who committed suicide {#blank#}3{#/blank#}died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer {#blank#}4{#/blank#}all problems. Wealth{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(acquire) through dishonest means does not bring happiness. In my view, the secret to happiness lies in your hard work, your {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(contribute) towards others' happiness and your wealth you earn through your own effort. If you get your money by taking advantage of others, you will not be happy with it. Long-term happiness{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(base) on honesty, hard work and self-esteem. Happiness is not {#blank#}8{#/blank#}end; it is a process. It is no use saying that some day when I get a car, build a house or own my own business, then I will be really happy. Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(happen) to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(miss).

    Each year thousands of{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (explore) and tourists visit the polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctica. But the increasing number of people travelling to the ends of the Earth' can have a negative effect{#blank#}2{#/blank#} fragile ecosystems. Should tourists{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(allow) to visit polar regions?

    About 40,000 tourists visit Antarctica each year, More than five million travel to the Arctic and sub-Arctic. Transporting tourists to the regions {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(increase) ship and airplane traffic, adding to the risk of pollution, oil spills, and other {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(environment) damage. Because the places where wildlife is accessible {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(be) few in numbers, tourist traffic can become concentrated in specific areas,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (put) Arctic vegetation at risk.

    Others say that access{#blank#}8{#/blank#} these very special parts of the world should not be restricted to only researches and scientist. Polar tourism allows people to develop deep personal connections with polar regions. “Those {#blank#}9{#/blank#}travel to the Arctic or Antarctica often become cheer leaders for supporting those places” Jim Sano, vice president for travel and{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(conserve) at World Wildlife Fund, told TFK.

    Each zebra has its own unique pattern of distinctive stripes (带), just {#blank#}1{#/blank#}humans have their own unique pattern of fingerprints, Zebras stick together in herds (兽群). Within a herd, zebras tend {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (stay) together in smaller family groups. Families are generally made up of a male, several females{#blank#}3{#/blank#}their young.

    As zebras graze, they use their sharper front teeth to bite the grass, and then use their duller back teeth to crush and grind. A zebra's teeth keep growing for{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (it) entire life, because constant chewing{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wear) them down.

    Zebras are{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (constant) on the move to find fresh grass and water. Sometimes they gather in huge herds of thousands as they migrate to better feeding{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (area). They often travel in{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mix) herds with other grazers and browsers, such as wildebeest.

    Zebras groom (理毛) one another, If you see two zebras standing close{#blank#}9{#/blank#} each other and it looks like they're biting each other, don't worry. They're pulling loose hairs off each other as they groom. Grooming also feels good to a zebra—it's like having an itch scratched,

    While most zebras are least endangered, Grevy's Zebra{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (classify) as endangered.

    The "selfie" is used to describe the self-taken photo, often from a smartphone. Someone takes about 10 selfies each time he does, and he only ends up {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (post) one or two of those. He picks the one that he feels make him look the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (good). In that picture, he gains confidence. For that moment, everything bad or terrible that has happened to him {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(remove), because that smile is what gives him the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (determine) to love himself.

    I read {#blank#}5{#/blank#} poem recently and the young man said, "If I ask you {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you love, the answers will most likely roll off your tongue. You love to read. You love to write. You love your mom, you daughter, or your friends. How long do you think you can go on and on before you say 'I love {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( I )' "

    That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I've struggled with confidence all my life. I still do. And in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway {#blank#}9{#/blank#} confidence. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.
