Gao Xiaosong, who is a famous musician, movie director and the writer of the famous song My Deskmate, has been sent to jail(监狱) and will{#blank#}1{#/blank#} there for six months for drunk driving.
“I've {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to say for myself and I'm willing to be punished(惩罚),” he said when he was standing in the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . “What I want to say is that I feel {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for what I've done. I thought alcohol(酒精)could bring me freedom but never realized drunk driving could {#blank#}5{#/blank#} away others' freedom. And now I've{#blank#}6{#/blank#} my own freedom because of drinking. I'll obey the new road safety {#blank#}7{#/blank#}and I want to be a life-long volunteer in persuading(劝说) others not to drive after drinking.”
Anyone who drives after drinking doesn't think much of human life. If Gao had cared, he would have left his car parked outside the restaurant and took a{#blank#}8{#/blank#} home, and he would have thought about a road killer he would become. It's fair to say that his behavior can not be {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in modern society. Gao may not have killed anyone, but by choosing to drive a car while under theinfluence of alcohol, he and the large number of others who do the same have{#blank#}10{#/blank#} the dangerous decision that may possibly hurt other people.

J—Jack D—David

J:Christmas used to be my favorite time of year, but right now I feel terrible.

D:No wonder, Jack. It's our {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Christmas away from home to study here. A {#blank#}2{#/blank#} of situation would easily affect people's feelings.

J:What do you  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} most as Christmas is coming, David?

D:Of course, my family. I spent every Christmas with my family before this year.

J:Me, too.  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} In the world is better than being with my family at Christmas time. D: At least, your brother is here with you.

J:That's true. Sometimes he can be boring to me, but now, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I do feel great to have him {#blank#}6{#/blank#}on this special day here.

D:Maybe he'll be here soon. I hope he will like the gift we bought for him.

J:I'm sure he will. He's always wanted a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} so that he can record every {#blank#}8{#/blank#} that moves him deeply here in Beijing, and he can {#blank#}9{#/blank#} what's recorded with my family.

D:Perfect. In this way, your parents can see people's happy life in Beijing and understand China better. One more thing, our Chinese classmates are going to hold a Christmas party for us, and they want to spend Christmas with us.

J:They are friendly. I'm very glad to get their {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.I will go to the party with you.

    Exercise also helps the blood(血) to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} around inside the body．This is very important．Our blood {#blank#}7{#/blank#} food to all parts(部分) of our body．The head also needs blood． Exercise helps us to think{#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

    Once a man had a hen and the hen laid two golden eggs every day. The man was very happy. Every day he took the two golden eggs and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} them in the market. With the money he and his family lived {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    One day one of his friends said to him, “Friend, every day you take these two eggs to market and sell {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there. It is not easy money, isn't it? Why not take out all eggs from her {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at once?”

    He liked the idea, but couldn't make a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to kill that hen. A few days {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he decided to implement (实施) that idea because he found the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in his friend's advice, and he was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}tired of (厌烦的) taking those eggs to the market daily.

    The next day he killed the hen and then opened the hen's stomach. But as he opened her stomach, he couldn't find {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in it. He looked for them here and there, left and right, up and down, but there was nothing {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    Some people think that they{#blank#}1{#/blank#}( get) ill if they use their brains（大脑）too much.  It is not true.  Through many researches, scientists{#blank#}2{#/blank#}( show) us that the more you use your brains, the better they{#blank#}3{#/blank#}( be), and the wiser you will become.

    Can you ever imagine there being a kind of new chocolate that keeps you looking younger?

    It seems t{#blank#}1{#/blank#} good to be true，but some scientists believe they have invented anti-aging chocolate．A Cambridge University lab is w{#blank#}2{#/blank#}hard on a method to keep away wrinkles(皱纹)and keep the skin(皮肤)looking younger．The new p{#blank#}3{#/blank#} is named Cambridge Beauty Chocolate．

    The scientists said that eating this chocolate can bring parts of the skin of a 60-year-old person back to the levels of a 30-year-old person．People who eat the chocolate can see c{#blank#}4{#/blank#} in their skin within just three weeks．A spokesman for the lab said that it t{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

10 years of research with about 3,000 volunteers.  The chocolate will only be sold in boxes of 21 bars—one a day for three weeks．The makers will start s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} it from next month．But the lab has not mentioned anything about the p{#blank#}7{#/blank#}yet．
