A lot of people in our country take a nap after lunch, so do my classmates.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (recent) I have conducted a survey on{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (take) a nap after lunch among my classmates. Most of them are in the habit of sleeping for{#blank#}3{#/blank#}while at noon as they believe it does good to them. The majority prefer{#blank#}4{#/blank#}do so around 12:30 and the nap usually lasts for about 30 minutes. They often {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (choice) to sleep at home instead of in their classroom {#blank#}6{#/blank#}dormitory.

    Hopefully, the result of my survey can draw the attention of our parents and school. Since most students are in need of a nap, proper{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (arrange) should be made so that students can have a good rest after a whole {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (morning) hard work. Students should not be{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (ask) to do extra work during this period of time. After all , having a nap after lunch, one can feel {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(refresh) and energetic enough to study more efficiently in the afternoon.

    There were many great philosophers in ancient China. Confucius stressed the significance of {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (kind), duty and order in society, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ideas influenced Chinese society for over 2, 000 years.

    Mencius was a student of Confucius's ideas. His teachings were similar to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of Confucius. He {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (bring) up by his mother and had an important position in the government of {#blank#}5{#/blank#} state. He believed man is good, that people would be good if government was kind, and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} people were more important than rulers. Mencius wrote a book {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (call) The Book of Mencius in his last years.

    Mozi was also an {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (influence) thinker, whose beliefs were similar to Confucius's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} some ways. Born into a poor family, he became famous for his unusual clothes and behaviour. Because he considered that government was most important, he spent many years {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (try) to find a state where people would follow his teaching. He believed all men were equal.

    The Agricultural Feast {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (fall) after the Independence Day. It is not a worldwide celebration. Only Christians in Mexico look forward to its arrival for its {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (religion) origin.

    Long ago, man's ancestors were bad. They fooled and played tricks on each other and never kept their word. So annoyed was God {#blank#}3{#/blank#} he turned up and drowned all their crops. Consequently, many people starved to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (die). In order to gain God's forgiveness, a woman poet set off {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (see) God, and made apologies, which moved God. With God's permission, human beings finally had good harvests again. Thus to wipe sadness and remind {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of the belief in God, people celebrate the festival. On the festival, people gather in the open air, such as playgrounds and parking lots, and have fun with each other energetically all night long, as though they were never tired. When a beauty {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (dress) in lovely clothing reads poems in memory of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} poet, everyone holds his breath. Then, it is the custom that the bone of a rooster head is given to her {#blank#}9{#/blank#} an award.

    Obviously, the story may not be true, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the festival is interesting.

    The music industry is never short of teen pop stars with wonderful looks, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} it doesn't often find one like US singer Taylor Swift. "Beneath Taylor Swift's not-a-girl, not-yet-a-woman sweetness hides a very {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(skill)songwriting technique (技巧)," writes Leah Greenblatt with Entertainment Weekly.

    Songwriting, the country singer explains, is "how I deal with problems. I am used to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(write) about things that really influences me most." So in her songs, there is always {#blank#}4{#/blank#} true and honest. They seem like stories from {#blank#}5{#/blank#} diary and that certainly helps Swift attract her audience.

    She {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(sell) more than 13 million copies worldwide of her first two albums, 2006's self-titled debut (首张专辑) and 2008's Fearless. She's the youngest artist ever to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(name) Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards. Not surprisingly, there were great expectations for her third album, Speak Now, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} came out late last month, where she again returned {#blank#}9{#/blank#} her own life for material. "The 14 songs are all about the last two years... when life was a little bit bigger and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(crazy)," says Swift. "So I've written about the lessons and confusion and heartbreak and all the different things that go along with being 18, 19 and 20."
