At first, only people {#blank#}1{#/blank#}England spoke English. Later, people from England {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (voyage)to other parts of the world and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}that, English began to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (speak) in many other countrieas. Today, {#blank#}5{#/blank#}people speak English as their{#blank#}6{#/blank#}, second or foreign language than ever before. Native English speakers can understand each other {#blank#}7{#/blank#}they don't speak {#blank#}8{#/blank#}same kind of English. All languages change when {#blank#}9{#/blank#} communicate with one another. So there are British English, American English, Australian English and so on. They all have their own identity. Maybe one day Chinese English{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (become) one of the world Englishes.

    For several billion years after the "Big Bang", the earth was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe. The earth became so {#blank#}2{#/blank#} that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not.

     {#blank#}3{#/blank#} eastward, you'll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea {#blank#}4{#/blank#} you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5500 kilometers from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you're in Canada's warmest part. People say it is Canada's most beautiful city. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} by mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Its population is increasing rapidly. The coast {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world.

    However, this was not easy. When they first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the froest. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} after her mother came to help her for the first few months {#blank#}8{#/blank#} she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone {#blank#}9{#/blank#} thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their social system.

    When I was a child in 1970s, my family was very poor, just{#blank#}1{#/blank#} other average families in the countryside. The second-hand clothes and rain leaking roof of old house became part of my memory. However, the worst{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (impress) is that I was feeling hungry all the time. Sometimes hunger bit me so severely {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I regarded dried sweet potato slices as delicious snack. At that time, my dream was getting enough to fill my empty stomach.

    In the early years of 1980s, with the reform and opening-up policy {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (carry) out, the children's dream came true. And then{#blank#}5{#/blank#}dream became clear and clear in my mind, I must try my best to escape out of my poor and backward hometown. I worked{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (hard) at my study than most of my classmates, and, after lucky{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (succeed) in the national college entrance examination, I realized my dream again: after graduation, I became a citizen working in a city. As the first college graduate out of a remote village, I set an example for my folks.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} came to realize that schooling is a good way to change one's fate. In the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (follow) years, there were fewer dropouts and more college graduates in my village, of{#blank#}10{#/blank#} I am proud even today.

    Once a young man was passing by a street where he saw an old man sitting by the roadside {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (beg) for money. That old man was sitting there with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} empty bowl in front of him, and a cardboard sign was put up beside the bowl. There was a sentence {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (write) on the cardboard: "Blind-Please help!"

    The young man felt very bad that no one planned {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (give) him any money. So he went to the old man and took his cardboard in his hand. He then took a thick marker pen out of his pocket and re-wrote the sign without hesitation and then left. The old man noticed that someone was writing something {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (differ) on the board but didn't say anything.

    Just in a few minutes, that empty bowl {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (fill) with money. The old man noticed that and stopped a stranger and asked him {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was on that cardboard. The stranger replied, "It says, "It's a beautiful day. You can see it. I cannot." Our {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (choose) of words and language can create positive or negative effects {#blank#}9{#/blank#} others. If we choose the right words, then we can {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (true) connect with people and change their views.
