What was supposed to be {#blank#}1{#/blank#} fun climb became a test of friendship for two young people from Canada last Saturday. Jeremy Savage and Ian Marshall, both aged 17, went {#blank#}2{#/blank#} {#blank#}3{#/blank#}no problems.

    However, trouble began when they started the climb down the mountain. On one very {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (danger) part of the path, Ian fell three meters off the side of the path. Jeremy was able to climb down to where Ian was. Ian was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (bad) injured and could not move. They had to wait and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hope) that someone would come and help them. As the evening grew {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (dark), Ian told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents, but he still did not leave. Jeremy thought {#blank#}8{#/blank#} was not safe for Ian to be alone. The night was cold and windy, and Jeremy used his jacket and extra shirt to keep Ian warm.

    At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (help) his friend was to carry him. So they started the long climb back to their parents. Finally, after four hours, they arrived at the campsite {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their parents were waiting, “I'll always remember what Jeremy did for me.” said Ian. “He saved my life.”

    There was once a small boy who would never get dressed when his parents told him to,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} would he wear what they wanted him to. He preferred unusual clothes, but above all, he liked taking his time. His parents were always in a rush, and wanted him to be much{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick), but the boy didn't like this, and he would slow down even more.

    One day, his parents got so angry when he refused to dress that they told him to go out without any clothes at all.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (surprise), the boy followed his parents out of the door. He held a belief {#blank#}4{#/blank#}nobody could do anything to him.

    As the boy stood outside his house with nothing on,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (wait) for his parents's car, along came the local pig farmer. The farmer,{#blank#}6{#/blank#} was almost deaf, had very poor eyesight. Not only that, but also he {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(forget) his glasses that day. When he saw the boy's pink skin, he thought it was one of his pigs. Shouting and pushing, the farmer forced{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(he) into a pig cage. The boy begged him to stop but the deaf farmer couldn't hear.

    When found by his parents, the terrified boy never again wanted to be mistaken{#blank#}9{#/blank#} anything other than a human being. Now he's the first {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (get) dressed, and always looks neat.

    Switzerland is famous{#blank#}1{#/blank#}its watches. However, this country didn't invent the watch. It was the British who did it. Here is a story of how the watch{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bring) to Switzerland.

    Many years ago,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Englishman traveled to Italy and on his way he stopped in a small town{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(call) Geneva in Switzerland. This Englishman traveled in a carriage(马车) inside which there was a carriage watch. This was the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(early) kind of watch. A native shop assistant(售货员) happened to see the watch. He wondered what it was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}asked the Englishman about it. “It is a carriage watch.” answered the man. “This machine can tell the time but now {#blank#}7{#/blank#} isn't working.” At once the shop assistant offered to try repairing it. So the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (travel) handed him the watch. The man was very clever. It was easy for him {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (repair) it. He even remembered{#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was made. And he made a watch of exactly the same type.

(Near the school gate, a woman driver was stopped by a traffic officer.)

Officer: Madam, do you know how fast you were going just now?

Driver：(looking at the record) Uh, well, no! I didn't think I was going that fast...

Officer：This is a 25 mph zone，Madam. You see that school over there? You {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (go)35 mph.

Driver: {#blank#}2{#/blank#} today is Sunday, sir. There is no school today.

Officer: That doesn't matter, madam. There{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be)signs that say what the speed limit is. Besides, children often come to school on the weekend {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (play)sports. You see all those kids over there? What {#blank#}5{#/blank#}you hit one of them by accident?

Driver: I'm {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (terrible)sorry, officer, I won't do it again. Could you please let me off with {#blank#}7{#/blank#} warning?

Officer: I'm afraid I can't do that, madam. In school zones，I'm required to give tickets to all drivers {#blank#}8{#/blank#} break the rules. It's the law in this county.

Driver: Oh, dear! {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is this going to cost me?

Officer: I don't know, madam. Usually, these things can be taken care of for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (little)than $ 100.Now please sign here at the bottom.

Driver: OK.
