It is the Thanksgiving Day . I have the strong desire to write about something to express my thanks to the people around me.

    I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bring up) by my grandparents {#blank#}2{#/blank#} are as kind and hardworking as thousands of Chinese peasants in a distant village. They worked in the field all day long and took good care of me as well.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (Honest) speaking, my parents are ordinary people. But I must say that they are great educators, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they educated me to be an independent and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (use) man to society.

    My teachers, selfless, generous, devote themselves to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (help) each individual student achieve his/her ambition.

    Meanwhile, I can share my happiness and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (sad) with my peer students .I am happy to be with them because we have much {#blank#}8{#/blank#} common.

    I am {#blank#}9{#/blank#} luckiest and happiest person with all these loved {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (one) around.

Daisy: Hello, it is a long time since we last {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(meet).What have you been doing recently?

Alice: I work for Lenovo as an assistant.

Daisy: What do you think of the job?

Alice: It is hard to say. I am a little {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（disappoint）in spite of the good salary. Honestly speaking, I am unfit for the job. I feel like {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (change) my job. If I could find a more suitable position for myself, I would.

Daisy: I think you should change your job as soon as possible.

Alice: You are right. I will think {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（careful）about your advice. By the way are you satisfied {#blank#}5{#/blank#} your present job?

Daisy: You know, my dream is to be a lawyer. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (graduate) form my college, I worked in a law firm as a lawyer for one year, now I can deal with a case all by myself, but It's getting more and more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stress).

Alice: Yes, everything has two sides. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} is hard for everyone to be satisfied in life. Therefore, we should think about things {#blank#}9{#/blank#} are more optimistic in our lives. Everything can change if your attitude is right.

Daisy: Yeah, tomorrow is another day; we will have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} bright future.

Alice: I firmly believe that too.

    Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (probable) say that they go to learn languages, history, science and some other knowledge. That's quite true, but do you know {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they learn these things?

    We send our children to school to prepare them {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the future when they grow up and have to work for {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they). Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that {#blank#}5{#/blank#} only reason why they go to school?

    There is more in education than just {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (learn) facts. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can continue to learn. A man {#blank#}7{#/blank#} really knows how to learn will always be {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success), because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will also be able {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (teach) others how to do it in the best way. So the purpose of schools is not to teach languages, history, science, etc., but to teach {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (student) the way to learn.

Daniel: Good morning, madam. I'm Daniel. I'm applying for the position of manager.

Madam: Sit down, please. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} did you learn about our company?

Daniel: I got to know {#blank#}2{#/blank#} company through such famous brands as LUX, LIPTOS and WALLS. Your products impressed me deeply.

Madam: Well, please tell me {#blank#}3{#/blank#} about your past work achievement.

Daniel: All right, Madam. When {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (work) for my previous company, I succeeded in raising the yearly sales volume(销售额) {#blank#}5{#/blank#} 25%.

Madam: Oh, that is quite an achievement! Why have you decided to change jobs?

Daniel: {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I hope to change. I am looking for a more challenging position. There are no more {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (opportunity) for me to grow in my current job.

Madam: OK, I understand. But why have you made the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (choose) to work for us?

Daniel: I have carefully studied the information about your company on the Internet and I {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (check) your company's homepage. The working conditions are so excellent here. I {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (sincere) hope to be a member of your company.

Madam: That's fine. Thanks for coming to see us. I will let you know about the job within the week.

New York City, together with London, Paris, Hangzhou and many other {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (city) throughout the world, gets bike-sharing systems of their very own. More and more people are considering using bikes {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a replacement for cars, and how to improve bike-friendly crossroads is also under discussion.
