Mr.Smith used to be in prison for three{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(year),which may make you think he is not a good man.But{#blank#}2{#/blank#}fact, he is kind-hearted as well as honest.The reason why he was put into prison was not that he{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(he) broke the law, but that his six-year-old son blew up the bridge near his home,imitating（模仿）what he had seen on TV.Although this little boy{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(break) the law,he was so young that he couldn't be put in prison.According to the local law,the boy's parents could not avoid{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(punish).

    As{#blank#}6{#/blank#}result, Mr. Smith received the punishment. He was arrested and finally was taken to the police station.

    Last year, two days before Christmas, my friends called, telling me their kitchen caught fire{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (destroy) everything in it. I drove to their house, taking all the food that I had. They were so happy to see me, but felt{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (embarrass) having nothing to give me in return.

    I went home, very upset{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (actual), I was also in a hard place financially and unable to do{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (much) for them. I called a friend of{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (I) about this, who responded, "These people mean a lot to you and I want to help them." Since he had never met them, he requested me{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (go) to the grocery store, all on him. At the check-out, I noticed him lacking money, so that I had to have some items taken back.

    We were walking away{#blank#}7{#/blank#} I heard a voice behind me asking the clerk, "How much are those things? I decide to pay for them." I turned around,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (thank) the kind man and told  him everything. He explained that he understood as he had lost his job the year before but now was working again.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} tears in our eyes, all of us went away. It was such {#blank#}10{#/blank#} wonderful feeling to see folks step up when someone needed help, even a total stranger.

    With the new term {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (approach）, Bertha Berger struggled to put on her blue jeans. She stepped on the bathroom scale（秤）. She had never seen such a high number on the little scale, so she decided to change. That day she threw out all the junk food in her fridge and went grocery shopping,{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (determine）to lose weight; she bought low, fat versions of all her favorite foods. She had two low - sodium（钠）bacon {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（sandwich）with a diet soda for lunch. The food contained over 1, 200 calories but had very little salt. For dinner she ate two turkey burgers with reduced - fat cheese{#blank#}4{#/blank#}she had received over 2, 000 calories, Bertha felt that she needed a reward. Then for dessert she ate one low- calorie ice - cream sandwich. And {#blank#}5{#/blank#} bed she ate a bag of baked potato chips, which she thought were{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（healthy）than normal chips, even if they had {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (rough) the same amount of calories. She dipped them in low - fat cream cheese. Bertha{#blank#}8{#/blank#}（consume）around 6,500 calories that day, but she felt skinny. When she woke {#blank#}9{#/blank#}the next morning, she stepped on the scale. She couldn't wait to see how {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(success）her diet had been.

    “USA? Britain? Which country is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(good) to study in?” We often hear such discussion. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

    It's true that studying abroad can help students develop{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they). Their foreign language skills will{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (improve) and it may be easier to find jobs.

    But there are problems{#blank#}4{#/blank#} should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (learn) another language.

    Students must also learn{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (live) without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they didn't have to do before, like looking after themselves. There are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (report) about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties{#blank#}8{#/blank#} giving up in the end. When they have to take care {#blank#}9{#/blank#} themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

    Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) very high. But is it worth it?

    The Silk Road is in fact a relatively recent term. These ancient roads had no particular name until in the mid-19th century, a European {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name)the trade and communication network the Silk Road. Since then the term {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (accept)globally.

    In the nineteenth century, a new type of travelers stepped onto the Silk Road, who were eager {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (look)for adventure. Researchers who came from many countries traveled through the Taklamakan Desert, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is now in Xinjiang, to explore ancient sites along the Silk Road {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (lead) to many discoveries and studies, and most of all, a renewed interest {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the history of these routes.

    Today, many historic {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (build) and monuments still stand, marking the passage of the Silk Road through hotels, ports and cities. What's more, the remarkable network is reflected in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} large number of cultures, languages, customs and religions that have developed for many years along these routes The passage of merchants and travelers of many {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (difference)nationalities resulted not only in commercial exchange, but in a widespread and continual process of cultural interaction. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (obvious),it has become a driving force in the formation(形式)of diverse societies.

    Big Ben is one of London's best-known landmarks, which is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} nickname of a bell hanging in the clock tower at the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (north) end of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London. Some believe it got {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it) name from Sir Benjamin Hall. Officially, the tower itself is called Elizabeth Tower. It was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (previous) known as just the Clock Tower, but was renamed in September 2012 in honor of Queen Elizabeth II. However, most people, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (include) those that live in London, call the tower "Big Ben", because it is very large.

    Designed by Edmund Beckett Denison, the clock took 13 years to build and it {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (complete) in 1859. It has worked continuously since then except for a few months in 1976 when it {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (break) down and had to be fixed. Since August 2017, repair work is being done on the clock, which will take four years. For the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (safe) of those doing this work, Big Ben no longer rings out every hour. It will still be heard {#blank#}9{#/blank#} special occasions, such as the New Year and Remembrance Day.

    The Elizabeth Tower has become one of the most important {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (symbol) of the United Kingdom and is often in the establishing shot of films set in London.
