Hello, everyone! Up to now, we have finished learning the first three units of Book 1. Now let's review what we have learnt together.

    In Unit One, we have learnt about what kind of friends we should make from our friend Anne {#blank#}1{#/blank#}was killed by the German Nazis during World War Ⅱ. It was the first time in her life that she{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(keep)diaries in the hiding place. So she had great difficulty{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(set) down what she and her family had gone through. Though she grew so crazy about everything to do with nature, it was no pleasure looking through the dusty windows any longer.

    In Unit Two, we have known that there is more than one kind of English in the world and in some important ways they are very different{#blank#}4{#/blank#}one another. Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. However, today the number of people learning English in China{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(increase)rapidly, although they find{#blank#}6{#/blank#}hard to learn English well. As high school students, we should make full use of our time{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have) a good command of English in order to pass the College Entrance Examinations in three years.

    In Unit Three, our friends Wang Kun and Wang Wei made up their {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (mind) to take a great bike trip along the Mekong River. They both bought {#blank#}9{#/blank#} expensive mountain bike. Finally they got the chance after graduating from college. Soon they got their cousins{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(interest) in cycling too. After making preparations, they together started their journey and realized their dream to take a great bike trip.

    Switzerland is famous{#blank#}1{#/blank#}its watches. However, this country didn't invent the watch. It was the British who did it. Here is a story of how the watch{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bring) to Switzerland.

    Many years ago,{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Englishman traveled to Italy and on his way he stopped in a small town{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(call) Geneva in Switzerland. This Englishman traveled in a carriage(马车) inside which there was a carriage watch. This was the{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(early) kind of watch. A native shop assistant(售货员) happened to see the watch. He wondered what it was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}asked the Englishman about it. “It is a carriage watch.” answered the man. “This machine can tell the time but now {#blank#}7{#/blank#} isn't working.” At once the shop assistant offered to try repairing it. So the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (travel) handed him the watch. The man was very clever. It was easy for him {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (repair) it. He even remembered{#blank#}10{#/blank#} it was made. And he made a watch of exactly the same type.

    When I left for the United States to study, I had butterflies in my stomach. I was nervous because I was going to {#blank#}1{#/blank#}new place with new people and new customs. I couldn't even understand{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they) language. Everything was{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(difference) from my own country. There was nobody {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I could talk to. I just had my husband, who was a new person for me, too.

    It was a sad moment {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I had to say goodbye to my family and friends. I didn't want {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(leave) my hometown because I grew up there and had wonderful{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (memory) of the place.

    So, {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(think) about all these changes made me nervous and I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(worry) about my new life. But studying abroad was a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(decide) that I made myself. I had to continue and accept the challenge. I looked forward to visiting my family in the summer vacation.

    An official of the ancient State of Chu awarded a pot of wine to his men. One man said, "We have only one pot of wine. It's not enough for all of us. Let's determine who'll have the wine by drawing a snake{#blank#}1{#/blank#} the ground. Who finishes first will have {#blank#}2{#/blank#}" The others agreed. Very soon, one man finished his snake. He was about {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (drink) the wine when he saw the others were still busy{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (draw). He said proudly, "How{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (slow) you are drawing! I still have enough time to add feet to my snake." But before he finished, another man finished his snake and took hold of the pot from him, saying, "Whoever{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (see) a snake with feet before? Yours is not a snake, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}the wine should be mine!" He drank the wine. The man adding feet to the snake had to give in and could only regret his{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(fool) behavior.

    From that story comes the idiom Draw a snake and add feet to it'. Now people use this idiom to illustrate (阐释) the truth {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we are all familiar with: Going too far {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) as bad as not going far enough.
