Mr. Green has {#blank#}1{#/blank#}bakery. Many customers come to buy {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(variety) of bread every day. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (say)that Mr. Green's bread is nicer and cheaper than {#blank#}4{#/blank#}in other bakeries. Children always ask their parents to buy Mr. Green's cake {#blank#}5{#/blank#}their birthdays because it tastes so delicious and looks so cute.

    Betty is Mr. Green's only daughter  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}usually helps in the bakery. However, she thinks her father very cold and complains to her mother: “Mom, why does Dad never say how much he loves me? Is it because he doesn't like me?” “Oh, my good girl,” says Mrs, Green. “You never know how proud your father is of you.     Nothing else in the world {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(mean) more than you to your father. When he's making cookies and bread, he is thinking of you. That's {#blank#}8{#/blank#}our cakes and bread are the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(good). Sometimes when you've done something wrong and made him angry or sad, the bread that day must taste hard and dry. Your father may not say how much he loves you, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} his bread does.”

    When I called up my mother in the countryside on the phone, she told me snakes came to her home now and then, and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} they seemed to have made their home there. I got the chance to distinguish {#blank#}2{#/blank#} by inventing something {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (mercy) to catch the snakes.

    No products can help me catch snakes, so I set out {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (research) the habits of snakes to trap them. I decided on three approaches: firstly, removing their habitat; secondly, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(attract) them into {#blank#}6{#/blank#} trap, and thirdly cooling them. I used the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (freeze) bowl to make the snakes less active, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} then collected them. The next day I released them into the wild.

    I have filled {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the form and filed my patent {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (apply) with the Patent Office.

    Many English language learners believe that the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (great) difficulty with listening comprehension (理解) is that the listener cannot control how quickly a speaker speaks. They feel that what the speaker says disappears {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they can follow. This frequently means that students {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are learning to listen cannot keep up. They are so busy working out the meaning{#blank#}4{#/blank#} one part of what they hear that they miss the next part. Or they {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(simple) ignore a whole section because they fail to catch it quickly enough. Another difficulty is that the listener is not always in a position to get the speaker to repeat what has been said. And, of course, repeats cannot{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (ask) for when listening to the radio or watching TV.

    Besides,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (choose) of vocabulary is in the hands of the speaker, not the listener. Very often, for people listening to a foreign language, an unknown word can be like a suddenly {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (drop) stone making them stop and think about the meaning of the word,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (cause) them to miss the next part of the speech. In listening, it really is a case of “He who{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (stop) to work out the meaning is lost.”

    The Battle of Chancellorsville, one of the most famous battles of the Civil War, took place in Virginia in the spring of 1863. For months, the two armies had been staying on opposite banks of a narrow river. The Confederate(南方联盟) troops were led by perhaps {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (honored) military tactician(战略家) in American history, General Robert E. Lee. The Union (北方联盟)soldiers were led by “Fighting” Joe Hooker.

    In appearance, personality, and lifestyle, these men were nearly perfect opposites. Lee, an older man in poor health with a gray beard, had a solemn, measured character. Hooker was a blond, broad-shouldered young man {#blank#}2{#/blank#} pride over his appearance was but one aspect of his self-centeredness. Whereas Lee was loyal and principled, Hooker was known for his rollicking enjoyment of both women and whiskey.

    Despite the fact that the Confederacy {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (win) the last four major battles and the Union soldiers were starving, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (exhaust), and demoralized, Hooker proclaimed, “My plans are perfect. And when I start to carry them out, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} God have mercy on Bobby Lee, for I shall have none.” Why was Hooker so confident?

    Hooker had used spies, analysts, and even hot air balloons to compile a vast amount of intelligence about Lee's army. He had already been aware, for example, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Lee had only 61,000 men to Hooker's own 134,000. Supported by his superior numbers, Hooker secretly moved 70,000 of his men fifteen miles up and across the river, and then ordered them to sneak back down to position themselves {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Lee's army. In effect, Hooker had cut off the Confederate soldiers in front and behind. They were trapped. Satisfied with his advantage, Hooker became convinced that Lee's only option was to retreat to Richmond, thus {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (assure) a Union victory.

    Yet Lee, despite his disadvantages of both numbers and position, did not retreat. Instead, he moved his troops into position to attack. Union soldiers who tried to warn Hooker that Lee was on the offensive {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (dismiss) as cowards. Having become convinced that Lee had no choice but {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (retreat), Hooker began to ignore reality. When Lee's army attacked the Union soldiers at 5:00 p.m., they were eating supper, completely unprepared for battle. They abandoned their rifles and fled as Lee's troops came shrieking out of the brush, bayonets drawn. Against all odds, Lee won the Battle of Chancellorsville, and Hooker's forces withdrew in defeat.

    The Dragon Boat Festival has been marked by {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (eat) zongzi and racing dragon boats for thousands of years. It falls on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar in honor of Qu yuan, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself.

    Qu was minister of the state of Chu {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lie) in the present-day Hunan and Hebei provinces during the Warring States period. He was upright, loyal and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (high) respected. However, he was fired from office due to his suggestion to fight against Qin in cooperation with other states. During his stay in other states, he wrote a number of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (poem) to express his strong love for his country. When Chu {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (defeat) by Qin. He realized what he could do about it was nothing. Qu jumped into Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month.

    After the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (die) of Qu Yuan, people of Chu went to Miluo River to mourn over the great poet they loved so much. People threw eggs and rice wrapped in leaves {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the river to feed the fish to keep them away from Qu Yuan. Now the Dragon Boat Festival has become {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（tradition） festival for the Chinese people.

    The sun at the center of our Solar System is one of the big reasons for{#blank#}1{#/blank#}we're here today, but it can also be a big trouble from time to time. Coronal mass ejections(CMEs) (日冕物质喷发)can seriously damage human{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(communicate) systems.

    For years, researchers{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(attempt) to forecast and predict CMEs in {#blank#}4{#/blank#}hope that warnings could help prevent damage to electronics and the power grid (电网). As it turns{#blank#}5{#/blank#}that a CME is more like a sneeze. Professor Mathew Owens of the University of Reading explains, "The research team and I have found they are more like an{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(expand) dust cloud or sneeze."

    When the solar wind acts on the CME as it moves through space, it causes the shape and behavior of the energy explosion {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(become) unpredictable. "Therefore if we want to protect{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (we) from solar eruptions, we need to understand more about the solar wind, "Owens says.

    The research team suggests that solar wind readings should {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (include) in the forecasting and prediction of future CMEs. This study could help scientists more{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(accurate) assess the risk that the ejections bring to human technology and potentially help reduce the damage they cause.
