July 20, 1969 was an important day. Two {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (美国) astronauts planted the first human footstep on the moon. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (他们的) names were Armstrong and Aldrin. They went into a spaceship whose name was Apollo. As Armstrong reached his left foot {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （touch） the moon's surface, he said, "That's one small step for a man, but one big leap for mankind."

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} two hours and twenty-one minutes, the man carefully at first and then {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (勇敢), walked on the moon, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （take）photos and picking stones.

    After eight {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (day) stay in space, Apollo returned to the earth successfully. People everywhere were {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (excite) by this moon trip. "This is the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (伟大) week in the history of the world since the Creation(创世)," President Nixon told the travelers. "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}（多亏，由于）what you have done, the world has never been closer together before."

Our country {#blank#}1{#/blank#} natural resources.

    Mary will ever forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in 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 many empty seats in the room .But she quickly realized that it wasn't for her, it was probably the fact that she sat in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} last row.

    But if he thought he could escape attention by {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(sit) at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little harder for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turn to look at him, they had to look at Mary, {#blank#}6{#/blank#}made her feel like a star.

    “Do you need those glasses for medical {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (reason)?” the teacher asked .The new boy shook his head. "Then I'd appreciate{#blank#}8{#/blank#} if you didn't wear them in class .I like to look at your eyes when I'm speaking to you." The new boy looked at the teacher for a few seconds and all the other students wondered {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the boy would do .Then he took them off, gave a big smile{#blank#}10{#/blank#} said "That is cool."

    Two ladies living in opposite apartments say "hello" when they meet each other in the corridor. One of them says, "I moved here five years ago, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I never met you before. Could I ask your name please?" The other says, "I {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) here for six years. How should I call you?"

    It seems very ridiculous {#blank#}3{#/blank#} people living so near don't know each other for such a long time. However, you can find this kind of story {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (perform) everywhere. It is the exact {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (reflect) of interpersonal relationships in the modern world. In the modern world most people live in apartments. They close their doors and never go out as soon as they get home from work. If they live alone, they will kill their time {#blank#}6{#/blank#}watching TV or reading magazines. They don't have any connections even with their {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(close) neighbors, who seem no different from people they meet every day in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} street.

    This phenomenon is no good to us, nor to our society. People will feel more and more lonely. The world becomes so indifferent. It's time that we {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take) some measures to improve it. People living in the same place can {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (organize) to have some activities. We should call on people to be friendly to each other.

When the game ended, the coach told Paul that he{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(earn) his place on the team.
