There is a woman {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（name）Daisy who has devoted all her life to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（attend）to the homeless children. It's generally recognized that what she has done for children {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（deserve）to be respected by everyone. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（personal）speaking, her selfless behavior sets a good example to us.

    There was a time when I came across Daisy who {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（invite）to deliver a speech, during which she indicated, “{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（take）care of homeless children is just {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ordinary job, but it doesn't mean that you can look down {#blank#}8{#/blank#}it. Every job is equal. We can't say which one is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（good ）.” She also said, “Once you set out to do something, you ought to carry on with it to the end, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will gain nothing in the end.”

Cathy: Stan, do you have a minute?

Stan: Oh, hi, Cathy. What's up?

Cathy: Well, I am really {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (disappoint) with the situation in the office.

Stan: I am not in that very often. It is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} noisy that I can't work.

Cathy: Yeah. I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} have finished my papers yesterday, but Jack kept {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (ask) his students to come in and out.

Stan:  Has anybody spoken to him about it?

Cathy: No, not yet. So we should come up with an idea {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(stop) him doing that kind of things.

Stan: Yeah. I am not able to do my work and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} are you.

Cathy: Could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When teachers have to talk with their students, they could use the meeting room instead {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the office. You know, there is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} room down the hall.

Stan: You mean that little storage room? Oh, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} would be too small.

Cathy: Are you sure? With those things taken out, it might be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (big) than it looks.

Stan: Good idea.

After a lot of preparation, Joseph Lockwood and Philippa Amos were finally ready to start their journey into the Amazon rainforest. They were feeling {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(cheer) as they sailed down the great river. Eventually, they got out of the boat and walked into the darkness of the jungle. Neither of them had ever been in such an extreme situation before, using just a compass (指南针) to find the area where the kind of frog they wanted to study {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live). Suddenly, Joseph, who was holding the compass, tripped and lost it in a river. The situation seemed hopeless—how would they find the frogs now? But just {#blank#}3{#/blank#} they started to feel really sad and worried that their journey {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) a failure, they saw the frogs they had come to look for.
