Mary will never forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in the class one day, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wear)sun glasses. He walked in as if he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(buy) the school. And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City.

For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(please), because there were manyempty seats in the room. But she quickly realized that it wasn't her, it wasprobably the fact that she sat in{#blank#}4{#/blank#} last row.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}he thought hecould escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. It might have madeit a little {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(hard) foreverybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop thekids in the class. Of course whenever they turned to look at him, they had tolook at Mary,{#blank#}7{#/blank#} made her feel like a star.

“Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?” the teacher asked. The new boy {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(shake) his head. “Then I'd appreciate {#blank#}9{#/blank#} if you didn't wear them in the class. I liketo look your eyes when I'm speaking to you.” The new boy looked at the teacherfor a few seconds and all the other students wondered {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the boy would do. Then he took them off, gavea big smile and said, “That is cool.”

    As a kid I disliked most vegetables. My daily meal consisted {#blank#}1{#/blank#} sugary cereal (谷类食物)in the mornings with whole milk, bread with butter for lunch along with chips, and a plate of white rice with chicken for dinner with either soda {#blank#}2{#/blank#} juice to drink. Whenever {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (go) out on weekends. I always chose fast food. An order of chicken nuggets with a side of fries was what I always wanted.

    Then the food that I loved {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (begin) to give me chest pains, heart burns, and stomachaches. I quickly realized that this couldn't end in anything good. So I decided {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (put) a stop to my unhealthy diet. I cut out fast food from my diet and instead searched for places {#blank#}6{#/blank#} offered me steamed vegetables, fruits, and foods higher in protein like beans which were things that I had been previously lacking in my diet.

    Making a change will never be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}easy task but sometimes it takes a hit of tugging to push us towards {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(we) goal. In my case it took an upset stomach and chest pains to learn that fast food wasn't the best choice for my health, but thanks to this now I feel {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(well) than ever. I am {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (constant) going to the gym, and I'm still eating what I love while supporting ray own body.

    I was always told that the three Ps, patience, positive thinking and perseverance, were a sure path{#blank#}1{#/blank#}success. But this piece of advice does not always work as planned. My high school math exam is one example. The exam， {#blank#}2{#/blank#} was originally to be held in our classroom, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(change) to the library at the last minute. This, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, didn't bother me because math had always been my strongest subject. I patiently walked to the library, took my seat and took a deep breath to help relax {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. But my mood quickly changed when I saw{#blank#}6{#/blank#}first question. I had no idea how to do it. I tried to stay positive and preserved{#blank#}7{#/blank#} I finally found the solution. With the problem{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (solve), I felt proud of my achievement. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fortunate), I then notice that I had just 10 minutes left {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (complete) the rest.

    When the modern Olympic Games {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (start) in 1896 in Athens, Greece, there was no such thing as the Winter Olympics. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(player) completed only in the Summer Games. However, there were the Nordic Games. There was a(n) {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(compete) of winter sports that took place every few years starting in 1901. But the Nordic Games were only to athletes {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

    The winter sports were popular, so in 1924 an International Winter Sports Week {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (hold) in Chamonix, France. About 250 athletes from 16 countries competed in nine sports and there were 11 female athletes, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} competed in figure skating.

    Still, the Winter Olympics were under way, adding more sports to the games and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (especial) more sports for women. Women got the chance {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(take) part in skiing, ice hockey(冰球）{#blank#}9{#/blank#} other sports. Now the Games have such {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(interest) events as snowboarding and skeleton(俯式冰橇）.
