Long ago,there was a mother and a son living in a house.She worked hard every day,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}they were always poor.

    One day,her son stole his friend's bag.“Mom,what do you think of this bag?”His mother praised her son instead of scolding him.The next time,he stole{#blank#}2{#/blank#}overcoat.She praised him again.A few years{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(late),he grew up to be a young man.He stole jewelry and brought them to his mother.This time,she did not scold her son.Then,he started{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (steal) more expensive things.

    One day,the police caught him.Before he{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(put) in prison,he begged the police to meet his mother.They took him{#blank#}6{#/blank#}his mother.As soon as he saw his mother,he suddenly bit her ear.“Ouch!What is the matter with you?”She finally scolded him.Her son answered.“If you had given me a scolding like that when I stole the first bag,I could not {#blank#}7{#/blank#}a thief.”{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (look) at her son heading to prison,“If only I{#blank#}9{#/blank#}turn back time,I would scold him severely.”She said{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(regret).

    Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (destroy) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged{#blank#}2{#/blank#}their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or roofs. One person was killed, several were {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (serious) hurt and a number of other people were slightly injured. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

    A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (last) for over an hour.

    “I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “{#blank#}5{#/blank#} we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down{#blank#}6{#/blank#} top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (miss). I went back inside and found him, safe{#blank#}8{#/blank#} very frightened.”

    Mrs. Woo Mei Fong {#blank#}9{#/blank#} husband had just left for work said that she felt her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

    Soldiers helped to take people out of{#blank#}10{#/blank#} flooded area and the welfare department brought them food, clothes and shelter.

    Nowadays, it is common{#blank#}1{#/blank#} more and more high school students open their own microblogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For another, it is a useful way{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (release) their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students. But many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's microblog will take a lot of time and energy，{#blank#}3{#/blank#} should be used to study.

    In my view, I am greatly in favor{#blank#}4{#/blank#} this activity. Today the Internet is playing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} important role in our life. Therefore, as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What's more, opening and organizing microblogs need various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful microblog. As a result, we improve ourselves while{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (organize) our micro blogs.

    In fact, the microblog {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it that{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (matter). We should take the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(advantage) and avoid some bad effects.

    Fu Xuewei, a 25-year-old girl from Chengdu, China {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（recent）shared a beautiful set of wedding photos on the Internet. However, there's a debate on the photographs {#blank#}2{#/blank#} no groom（新郎）seems to be found in the photos. In fact, the only people featured in the photos are Ms. Fu and her 87-year-old grandfather.

    Despite having no plans of getting married anytime soon, Fu decided {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（wear）the wedding dress for her grandfather. The man fell seriously ill last September, with doctors warning that he could pass away{#blank#}4{#/blank#} any time. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fear) he might never get to fulfill the dream of walking her down to the Mr. Right, Fu arranged the surprise photo shoot. Keeping her plans a secret, she took {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（she）grandfather for a regular hospital check-up, only to reveal that they were going to take pictures later and he agreed.

    Ms. Fu {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（raise）by her grandparents from the age of ten,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} makes them mean a lot to her. She insists on taking care of them in return. The young woman even{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（have）a tattoo（纹身）of her grandfather. "I had my grandfather's appearance tattooed on my arm because I want all my new {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（friend）to know what he looks like in the future," she said.
