We high school students do have some growing pains,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their body styles and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all. We needn't care about it. It is one's inner beauty{#blank#}3{#/blank#} matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (face) with this, we can find {#blank#}5{#/blank#} proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(understand). Some of us have fewer in ends. I think being open-minded and friendly{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (do) you good. Third, we may fall behind others,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage {#blank#}9{#/blank#} to work efficiently, full of determination. Lastly, some of us don't have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some, that's enough. And we can learn {#blank#}10{#/blank#}to spend money.

One day Mary was busy working in her office in London {#blank#}1{#/blank#} she received an E-mail from her friend Joan .In Joan's e-mail, she persuaded Mary {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(look) for a flat in London for her. As she had {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (little) money at her command than before, the flat had to be cheap, but it had to be modern, with elevators, gas lines. It had to be in the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (east) part of London, with petrol and subway stations nearby. Though Mary found {#blank#}5{#/blank#}difficult to find such a flat, she still went from one block to another, looking for a flat {#blank#}6{#/blank#}would meet Joan's requirements. Having tried too many times, Mary met her boss and politely asked him {#blank#}7{#/blank#}advice. It was the first time that she {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (talk) with his boss about her personal problems. It happened that the boss just had such a flat for rent, so they quickly reached {#blank#}9{#/blank#}agreement. But to her surprise, when she e-mailed Joan, telling her the good news, Joan said that she had changed {#blank#}10{#/blank#} mind— she was not returning to London.

    Parkour (跑酷) is a sport which trains people to deal with any physical obstacles in their path. It is not a competition but a physical training. A person joining in parkour is called traceur. Traceurs run along a path and use only their bodies to deal with obstacles in the most efficient way. Parkour pays more attention to efficiency, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(make) it different from the similar practice of free running. Parkour {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(common) includes running, jumping, climbing, rolling and other similar types of physical movements. Many teenagers think that parkour is quite{#blank#}3{#/blank#}cool sport. They have great interest in it.

    The {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(invent) of parkour can't {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(give) to one person because many people have worked on it. A french officer developed the earlier form of parkour. The term “parkour” was first introduced by David Belle and Sebastiar Foucan in the early 1980s. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}that time, they were two teenagers. This sport{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(become) more popular in the 1990s when many films were made on it.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#}makes parkour different from other sports is its power to bring people together. It allows traceurs to forget the{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(society) and other problems, and makes a large group work and grow together instead of competing with each other. People can benefit from parkour as it can make them stronger. Still, it also influences one's thought process by improving self-confidence and critical-thinking skills. In this way, parkour allows one to deal with {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(difficulty) in daily life if he or she deals with them through parkour.

    Your next car could have two seats, three wheels — two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name) the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side {#blank#}2{#/blank#} side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.

    The starting price for the car {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (be) just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (cheap). It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio's long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).

    Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that one day he {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (own) a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (tire) of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (attract) buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable cars. "Whatever matters to you, this can make a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (different) to it," he said.

    The silent killer — air pollution causes seven million premature (过早的) {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(death) a year, not just in{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(develop) countries but also in UK and the USA as well. In China，people are well aware of the health problems it brings.

I check every part every day. If it has heavy air pollution, I will prepare masks for my family. I dislike{#blank#}3{#/blank#}when the air is bad. Because bad air makes it difficult for me to breathe and I think it does influence my{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(perform) at work. A new research in china has also found a link between air quality and levels of intelligence. In the study, 25,000 people living across China{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(test) in language and math skills last year. They found the results of those{#blank#}6{#/blank#}lived in more polluted areas were{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (negative) impacted, especially in languages. It adds to a growing body of evidence that air pollution has an effect not just on the lungs and heart{#blank#}8{#/blank#}on the brain.

    This research shows that the longer we are exposed to air pollution, the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (many) problems we're storing up for later life. Campaigners hope this study will persuade the British government{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(think) hard before it publishes its clean air strategy next year.
