As a stranger in Atlantic City, I often used to go walking outside. One afternoon, I found a little boy{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stand) alone, and he looked very lost. I tried to get his trust, so I{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(buy) him an ice-cream cone and decided to call the police to take him home. I told{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to stay there when I went to the phone booth(电话亭), {#blank#}4{#/blank#} after I returned, he was missing. A few minutes later, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} patrol car arrived. The policeman asked me {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the child was. I felt stupid; {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was embarrassing (难堪的) to say that I had lost a lost child. I told the policeman {#blank#}8{#/blank#} had happened and gave him a {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(describe) of the boy. "What did you treat him with?" he asked. "An ice-cream cone. Why?" "That kid lives only a few blocks {#blank#}10{#/blank#} here, and you're about the fifth stranger he's conned (欺骗) for a treat!"

    Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at Stanford Hospital, I got to know a little girl {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(name) Liz who was suffering from a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion（输血）{#blank#}2{#/blank#}her 5-year-old brother,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to fight the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ill).

    The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for a moment {#blank#}5{#/blank#}taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I'll do it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}it can save Liz.”

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(see) the color returning to her cheeks. Then {#blank#}9{#/blank#}face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?”

Being young, the boy had{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(understand) the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood.

    Johnny Carson began his career in television in his {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(twenty). First he worked at local stations in Nebraska. Several years {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(late), he moved to Los Angeles, California. It was "The Tonight Show"{#blank#}3{#/blank#} made Johnny Carson famous for thirty years. He became{#blank#}4{#/blank#} most popular star of American television. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (call) "the king of late night". Critics  (评论家) said Americans from all parts of the country liked him and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (feel) they knew him. He did not take his fame{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (serious). Carson's special skill was his sense of humor. Audiences laughed at his jokes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he made at the beginning of his show. However, sometimes they laughed even {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (hard) at the jokes that failed. He was the most powerful performer on television. Many comedians and singers became successful after {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (appear) on "The Tonight Show".

    Every day many teens wake up afraid of{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go) to school. School bullying(校园欺凌) is a problem{#blank#}2{#/blank#} affects millions of students, and it makes everyone{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (worry), not just the kids. Yet because parents, teachers and other adults don't always see it, they may not understand how bad bullying can be.

    School bullying can threaten students' physical and emotional{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (safe) at school and can influence their ability to learn. There {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) a number of things you can do to make schools safe and prevent bullying.

    For younger kids, the best way of solving the bullying problem is to tell a trusted adult. For teens, the tell-an-adult way depends on the bullying situation. If you see or hear someone {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (beat), you should step in {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stop) the bullying right away.  If you cannot stop it by{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (you), then find someone who can. It is important to keep the bully away from the person he or she is bullying. Do not force the two parties to be in the same room together. Bullying is a problem that can cause serious damage unless the problem {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (solve) in time. Take any bullying that you hear about very {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (serious). You might even need to call the police in some situations.
