W: What {#blank#}1{#/blank#} wonderful place!

M: I wanted the best restaurant {#blank#}2{#/blank#} your birthday. And I know you like French food. Let's begin with a cocktail(鸡尾酒) and then look at the menu.

W: I don't want to look at it because {#blank#}3{#/blank#} always takes me a year to make up my mind. Any suggestions?

M: I've never been here before, but everything {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (suppose) to be excellent.

W: They have snails(蜗牛)! But I wouldn't dare eat them. They might make me sick.

M: I feel the same way about snails. I think I'll have roast duck(烤鸭). It comes with vegetables and potatoes.

W: {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (sound) good. But {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I like seafood, I'd like {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (begin) with some seafood. And let's have the salad after the main course.

M: Fine. We should have white wine with dinner and champagne(香槟)with dessert since this is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}celebration.

W: Oh, don't forget the cheese. There's nothing like real French cheese.

M: I can see already this {#blank#}9{#/blank#} going to be an {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (enjoy) and delicious dinner.

    You can find it on {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (building), sidewalks and street signs. Now even art museums and galleries {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (collect) the works of street artists.

    People often have different opinions about street art. Some think it is a kind of destruction (破坏) and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} think it is a very beautiful new form of culture.

    In the street art world graffiti (涂鸦） can be the most popular. It began in New York in the 1960s. First some young people painted words and images on the walls. They found the paintings could show their {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(disagree) against society. Later, this colorful, energetic style of writing became {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (know) as graffiti.

    Street artists do this for {#blank#}7{#/blank#} reason. Some of them think they are closer to the people, while others try to express their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (politics) opinions.

    In today's world, the Internet has a big influence {#blank#}9{#/blank#} street art. Artists can show their pictures to audiences all over the world. The street art movement lives with the energy and life of cities. It will continue {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (change) and grow.

    Last Monday, my father would be on a{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(busy) trip for five days. Having gotten my promise of being great at home and taking care of my mother, he rest assured and put his luggage into the trunk of his car.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) my father's driving away, my mother and I waved our hands and said goodbye to him. For a moment, I began to miss my father,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(wish) that he would be safe and well the next days. I thought everything would go well, as this was not the first time that my father{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(be) away for several days. Yet, —{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(fortunate), my mother caught a cold the next morning. Looking at her pale face, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(experience) high levels of anxiety. However, I told myself that I had to calm down and look after my mum, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}I promised to my dad. The moment I got my mum to sleep, I put cold towel on her forehead, found pills in the medicine box, and made some noodles for her. Luckily, she woke up and felt {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(good) after taking the pills and the noodles. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}her fever was gone relieved and satisfied me a lot. In the next four days, I was taking her body temperature twice a day, ensuring that she was completely well. To our delight, my dad went back home safe and sound on Saturday. On hearing {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I had done to my mum, he as well as my mum beamed at me and gave me a big thumb. Hearing their praises and seeing bright smiles on their faces, I really felt overjoyed and thrilled. Taking care of my parents was, indeed and definitely, my mission and obligation。

    I will never forget the day when I went to a coming- of - age ceremony. Last month, an unforgettable adult ceremony {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (hold) for all the senior 3 students in our school. It began at half past two in the afternoon. Decorated by colorful flowers and balloons, the stadium looked {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (amaze) beautiful. All of us students were dressed {#blank#}3{#/blank#}school uniforms with red ribbons on our wrists, showing the energy of youth. We walked into the stadium in high spirits, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (accompany) by our parents. Our principal delivered {#blank#}5{#/blank#} inspiring speech at first, and we received {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (congratulate) from our teachers. During the ceremony, we expressed our heart-felt gratitude to our parents by {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(bow) to them. I was moved to tears when I got a photo album from my parents, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} reminded me of my happy childhood. In the end, we raised {#blank#}9{#/blank#} right hands and made a serious promise to become reliable and honest citizens.

    As far as I 'm concerned, the ceremony indicates that we should take on more responsibilities to be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (independence) and get away from the shelter of our family.

What's the right college for you?

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) the college you're considering offer classes and learning opportunities {#blank#}2{#/blank#} interest you?
