Everyone has a childhood. And childhood {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (experience) are often very funny. Children often make us laugh. It's true that children brighten up a home. They never turn off the lights.

    I often recall my childhood, the years {#blank#}2{#/blank#} many interesting things happened. When I was a two-year-old child, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} my parents were always very busy with their work. My mother worked {#blank#}4{#/blank#} a sales manager in a company {#blank#}5{#/blank#} my father served in the army. So I lived with my grandma in a village. I was always waiting for my parents at home. Once my father sent us a photo of his {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (dress) in a soldier's uniform {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was posted on the table reminding me of him.

    Once my mother came to see me and we went {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(shop) together. On the way we saw a group of soldiers. And when I saw them, I became{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (excite). I said in a ringing voice pointing to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, “This is my father, and this is my father, and that is my father, too!”

    My mother said she would remember that moment all her life.

    For many students, the most important{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (decide) they must make at school is choosing a career .But choosing the right career {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (be) not easy. So how do you find one that you will enjoy?

    Before you choose a career, think about your interests and your talents, and then think about jobs {#blank#}3{#/blank#} fit them. Ask yourself: What do I enjoy doing? What do I do well?

    Next, learn about your career choices. See if the library has books {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (describe)different kinds of work. Also, try out careers by talking part-time jobs.

    Then consider {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is important to you. Perhaps you like working face to face with people. If so, a job as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} computer programmer may not be the best choice. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you like getting a monthly salary, then starting your own business probably is not for you.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (final), remember that you can always change your mind. Most people change jobs several times during {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (they) working life. Your first job right after college probably will not be your career thirty years from now. Allow yourself to change if you are not {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (satisfy) with your chosen career.

    Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for —{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(it) stadium, theatres, shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2, 000 years.

    Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22, 000 people. It {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lie) at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (century), so the people of Pompeii felt that they were in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (safe).

    In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ashes began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii 6{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bury) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.

    From then on, Pompeii remained under stones and ashes. Then an Italian scientist {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (name) Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (slow) and carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug.The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79.There were streets and fountains, houses and shops.There was a stadium {#blank#}9{#/blank#} 20, 000 seats.Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects,{#blank#}10{#/blank#} tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Ginseppe has died, but his work continues.

According to statistics from the organizer, 157,326 visitors attended {#blank#}3{#/blank#} festival, many of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} were hanfu-wearing enthusiasts, called “tongpao”.
