One day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made all efforts {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (reach) the side, but made no progress at all. The poor {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (tire) ant was still bravely doing her best when a dove saw her. Moved by her {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (determine) and perseverance, the bird threw her a blade of grass, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}supported her like a raft, and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (she) in the grass, she {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hear) a man come near. He was walking along barefooted {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see {#blank#}8{#/blank#} had bitten him, and  the  dove {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(immediate) flew away.  It  was  an  animal  much {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(weak) that had saved her life.

    Founded in Yan'an in 1941, Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) is now a famous university located in the Haidian District of Beijing, a place in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the key institutions of higher {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (educate) are concentrated. Excellence in foreign language teaching has allowed BFSU {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(enjoy) a good fame for quality in teaching and research activities.

    The university campus occupies {#blank#}4{#/blank#} area of 304,553 square meters, with a student dormitory area of 40,000 square meters and a library of 9,997 square meters. The Third Ring Road runs through the center of the university campus,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}（make） transportation very convenient.

    When I packed up my life and moved from the comforts of my little hometown to Waco, I remember feeling {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lose). All my friends were so excited to start their own lives, but I just wasn't sure {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I was ready for that yet. Many things worried me. But I hid my fears and when the time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (final) came, I hugged my mother goodbye, made the two-hour one-way drive from Coppel to Waco, and set up my new room.

    For the first few weeks, I didn't miss home or really feel any kind of emotion at all except tired. There was so much for me to learn {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I hadn't had time to think about anything. My energy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (direct) towards figuring out campus, adjusting to college-level classes and remembering the names of every new person I met. I explored every corner, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) for the perfect place to study. I learned to set {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (I) a schedule of getting groceries, cleaning my room and doing my laundry on Sundays.

    Nowadays, in my second semester, I feel like I have almost adapted {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the university life. The transition from high school to college wasn't {#blank#}9{#/blank#} difficult as my mind made me think it would be. One of the best {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (thing) college has taught me is how to be independent.

    We want everyone to respect us. Do we respect everyone around us? The answer is a big NO! We don't respect {#blank#}1{#/blank#}we think is better than us, we don't respect poor and old people, and we don't respect who we feel is less better {#blank#}2{#/blank#}us. So how can we win respect? The easiest way {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (gain) respect is by giving respect.

    Winning respect might be difficult but not impossible. Don't use bad language. Being {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(help) and listening to someone are a sign of giving respect and {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(win) respect as well. With patience and practice, you can get any kind of virtue.

    Flowers are the main {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(attract) of any type of decoration and in the same way respect is the beauty of life. Life is terrible {#blank#}7{#/blank#}respect. Just think whenever you go to a party, every one there is not treated equally. Do you know why? Because of {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(they) manners.

    Why are we not treated sometimes as {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(expect)? Because we do the same to others who have expectations from us. Relationship can be healthy if we never cross the walls of respect. Without respect, you can't live. You need respect everywhere in life, in work, in society or in family. A respected person {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(speak) politely.

    Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities, especially in places{#blank#}1{#/blank#} traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous. The purpose of these bridges{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) to enable pedestrians to cross roads {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(safe). Overhead bridges are used in very much the {#blank#}4{#/blank#}way as Zebra crossings. They are more efficient although{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(little) convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(convenient) especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(help) pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (risk) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic. Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(lose) of life.
