This is the first time John{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（visit）Xiao Li's hometown-Xiamen. It has been 6 years {#blank#}2{#/blank#}John and Xiao Li last saw each other and John thinks that this is one of the most{#blank#}3{#/blank#}．(attract) places that he has been to in China. Xiao Li says he feels fortunate living a city{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the coast in spite of so many{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(tour) in the summer.

    There are some shopping malls from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} John could buy a few presents and a huge apartment block , but the rent for an apartment is very{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. After{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(leave)the business district , they approached the harbor.

    Gulangyu Island is a gorgeous island with some interesting{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（architectural）.When they stopped, they had lunch in a fish restaurant because John is{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (starve).

    One day, about ten years ago, while working at the cash register (收银机) in the gift shop at my University Museum of Natural History, I saw {#blank#}1{#/blank#} elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair. As I looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(close) at this girl, I found that she was fixed on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, a neck and upper body,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (dress) in a little white skirt. As the couple wheeled her up to me, I turned my head toward the girl. When I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the girl, who was giving me the most optimistic, largest smile I had ever seen. All of a sudden, her handicap (障碍) was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}smile just melted me {#blank#}6{#/blank#}almost instantly gave me a completely new sense of {#blank#}7{#/blank#}life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(bring) me into her world; a world of smiles, love and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(warm). I'm a successful business man now and whenever I think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable (非凡的) lesson about life that she taught {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    Taking your pet for a walk should be {#blank#}1{#/blank#}enjoyable experience, not one which leaves your arms {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (pain) after your dog running too far away, reaching the end of the dog leash (狗绳). Some dogs{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (simple) will keep trying to pull {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (them) away from the leash, and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (depend) on the size of the dog, this can cause much pain to your arms.

    Now there is a tool{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (call) the Dog Trainer which will probably solve these dog walking issues. For $39.95, the special invention is designed to help train your dog {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you go out for walks. The tool is fixed with the leash, and whenever it senses a struggle, it will send a noise which only your dog will be able to hear, thus forcing it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (realize) that struggling is not worth it!

    The noise becomes{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(loud), based on the force of the struggle, and it has four sound levels. The Dog Trainer is powered by two AAA batteries (电池) and we believe if you have a large dog{#blank#}10{#/blank#}likes to try and escape all the time, then this handy little invention is surely worth the small payment.

She {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the finest poet in the world. (acknowledge)

    In my opinion, we should try our best {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(realize) our goals even though {#blank#}2{#/blank#}is little hope. The efforts seem to be the lights in the darkness, leading the way to hope and success. I used to be {#blank#}3{#/blank#}shy girl in my primary school. I was weak in English at that time, especially for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(speak) English. So I was afraid to answer the teacher's questions during English classes. After I entered my dream middle school. Something {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(change). I started to read many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(interest) English stories and my English teacher was patient to help me a lot. I studied hard in class and practiced by watching English films and listening to English songs in my free time. Little {#blank#}7{#/blank#}little, I found {#blank#}8{#/blank#} more and more interesting to learn English. I could even talk with my classmates {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fluent) in English and I was not shy any more. At last, I got high grades in English and I had {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(confident) to do it better in the future.
