My father did not want {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of the two shirts and asked to be shown {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

—Yes, since he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (write) the novel Red Sorghum.

    Pablo and I were walking home from playing football. On the way, I told him that our school needed {#blank#}1{#/blank#}football team. At once, Pablo suggested, “Why not run for（竞选）class president so that you can set one up?”

    “Who would want {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (I)?” I asked, surprised at the idea.

    Pablo made a list of reasons: I was the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) student of all in sports and lessons; I was {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(friend) to everyone. When I told him running for president would be much work, he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (promise) that he would help me.

    I did run, and Pablo did help me. First, we made posters to hang in the hallway. Next, Pablo helped me {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(write) a speech about why I'd make a good class president.

    The big day came. I gave my speech in front of the whole grade, promising my {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (classmate) that if they chose me, I'd start a football team.

    As Pablo and I nervously waited {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the results, I was told that my speech was so successful {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I was the right person to be class president.

    Now we went {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (happy) to Coach Simpson and asked how I could start our new football team.

    Plenty of people dream of going to Mars.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} different from those people, 13-year-old Alyssa Carson has been working{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (happy) for that dream since the age of 4, according to a new report which {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (make) by the BBC not long ago.

    Alyssa tells the BBC, "I hope {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (go) to Mars because it is a place that no one has been to before. I want to take that first step. "According to the BBC, she {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(attend) US's three world space camps so far.

    Her father, Bert Carson, tells the BBC that Alyssa plans to be on the first long journey to Mars, which is expected to take place in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} year of 2033. "We are proud {#blank#}7{#/blank#} her," he says. "We have the next eighteen {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (year) planned out." One of those plans is Alyssa attending the International Space University.

    Of course, Alyssa's dream could come with{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(big) sacrifices(牺牲) than others. If Alyssa goes to Mars, maybe {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is very difficult for her to return to Earth. Still, her father says, "If that's the only choice she has, she still wants to go." Alyssa agrees.
