Once, a rich man was near death. He was very upset because he had worked so hard for his money {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he hoped he could take it with him to heaven. So he prayed to God he might be able to take some money with him.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} angel heard his pray and appeared. “Sorry, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  you can't take your wealth with you.” The man begged the angel to speak to God to see {#blank#}4{#/blank#} he might break the rules. The angel reappeared and said that God could allow him to take one suitcase. Excitedly, the man gathered his suitcase and filled it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} pure gold bars.

    Afterward, he died and showed up in heaven to greet St. Peter. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  (see) the suitcase, St. Peter said, “Hold on, you can't bring that here!” The man explained that he had God's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (permit). St. Peter checked it out, came back and said, “You are right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents {#blank#}8{#/blank#} letting it through.”

    St. Peter opened the suitcase to inspect（检查）the things {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaimed (感叹), “You brought paving(铺路的) stones? As you can see, the great street of the city of heaven {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (make) of pure gold!”

    I am taught by many teachers in my school. Every subject has a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(differ) teacher, but I like my math teacher {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (well). Her name is Lakshmi but we usually call her Ma'am. She is our class teacher too.

    Ma'am {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (join) us last term. She is very kind and her way of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (teach) is so interesting and simple that we all can understand what is being taught and how it could be done. Most {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (important), Ma'am teaches math with lots of patience. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}we do not understand a problem, she will spend extra time {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (guide) us until we understand it. And we can go to her at any time during school hours for help.

    She also helps us with activities at school. When there are{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(program), she will be there to help us to get ready for the show. Even when we go on picnics, she takes good care of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}.

    To me, Ma'am is not only {#blank#}10{#/blank#} good teacher, but also our best friend. I love Ma'am and I wish her a happy life.

    Have you found that much of your online communication has been replaced by emojis(表情符号) ? Has "Happy Birthday" become a cake with {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(light) candles? Since they were invented in the 1990s in Japan, emojis, meaning "picture characters", {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(occupy) the world. According to a UK-based mobile technology company, 6 million emojis used in text messages are sent around the world every day through smartphones.

    That's why for the first time Oxford Dictionary's Word of the Year is emoji-- a face {#blank#}3{#/blank#}tears of joy. Emijis are regarded as a new kind of {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(express). Behind the popularity of emojis {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) the rise of young people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} welcome new technology and inventions. So the reason why young people as well as others love to emoji is that they show meanings {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (beautiful). When young people are asked what makes the generation unique, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} put "technology use" first.

    Now emojis are in much {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(wide) use than written words. As{#blank#}10{#/blank#} result, people began to doubt whether it has made up a too large part in our online communication.

    Red is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (happy), as in “a red letter day. This is a day when something special happens. The expression is probably based on church customs. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} almost six hundred years, church calendars have been marked with red to indicate special holy {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (day).

The expression “a red-letter day” is often heard in daily life. A red-letter day is {#blank#}4{#/blank#} day that people are feeling quite happy. You might tell your friends that yesterday was a red-letter day because you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (win) some money in the state lottery (彩票).

    “Rolling a red carpet” is another {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (common) heard expression, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} represents a warm welcome. A city may “roll a red carpet” for {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (it) baseball team when the team arrives home after winning the championship.

    Red is also used in some expressions that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) not happy. “Red-handed” is an example. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (take) cookies out of the cookie jar.

    In many places like Britain and Italy, if you leave the house without your wallet, you'll be in a tough situation all day. But in China, you can enjoy your day just {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a smart phone.

    The other day, I set out {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) how far a phone would get me in the country's capital. Admittedly, I was surprised to discover how {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(convenience) it was.

    I used my phone to call a taxi to meet my Chinese friend,Gu Yu, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}would guide me to get around Beijing. We paid for breakfast by{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(scan) a QR code (二维码) on the window of a restaurant selling jianbing, one of China's most popular street breakfasts. My purchase cost 6 yuan and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (take) just a few seconds. At a nearby coffee shop, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(it) owner scanned a QR code on my phone. As we sipped our coffee,Gu Yu paid her household water bill. She used the same simple process to pay other bills and even her rent. We also paid by phone for movie tickets ,takeout food and shopping for goods for {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(deliver)

    I have known from Gu Yu that from tiny street stands to large chains, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} huge number of people accept mobile payments, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(most) through popular apps Alipay and WeChat.
