One morning, I was waiting at the bus stop, worried about {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) late for school. There were many people waiting at the bus stop, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} some of them looked very anxious and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (disappoint). When the bus finally came, we all hurried on board. I got a place next {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the window, so I had a good view of the sidewalk. A boy on a bike {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (catch) my attention. He was riding beside the bus and waving his arms. I heard a passenger behind me shouting to the driver, but he refused {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (stop) until we reached the next stop. Still, the boy kept {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (ride). He was carrying something over his shoulder and shouting. Finally, when we came to the next stop, the boy ran up the door of the bus. I heard an excited conversation. Then the driver stood up and asked, “{#blank#}8{#/blank#} anyone lose a suitcase at the last stop?” A woman on the bus shouted, “Oh, dear! It's {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (I)”. She pushed her way to the driver and took the suitcase thankfully, Five others on the bus began talking about what the boy had done and the crowd of strangers {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (sudden) became friendly to one another.

    I like taking photos very much. Once I travelled by ship {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a cloudy morning. It was in the afternoon{#blank#}2{#/blank#}the weather turned fine. Therefore, I wanted to take some {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(photo). I was looking around and I saw next to me a lovely little girl sitting on her father's shoulders.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}was lucky for me {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(meet) such a perfect moment—the girl was smiling and the surrounding view was beautiful. Without {#blank#}6{#/blank#}（think）, I took a picture of{#blank#}7{#/blank#}little girl at that moment.

    Her mother was{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(surprise) that a stranger was photographing her daughter. I explained that I was moved by that sight and showed them the photo on my digital(数字的) camera. They loved it very much. I said I could email it to them when I got home.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (Final), they gave me their email address. The next day, I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(send) them their daughter's photo as I had promised.

    Since a university education in the United States {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(be)very expensive, most students work in addition to studying. Students {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(usual)work part-time, but some students take full-time jobs.

    A typical job for a students would be working {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a waiter or waitress. Other typical off-campus jobs would include being a clerk in a store or delivering pizza. Sometimes students also find jobs on campus such as cleaning, working in a cafeteria or library or answering {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(telephone). Most student jobs are entry-level and low paying, but have flexible schedule{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(allow) students to attend classes.

    Sometimes students also hold more responsible positions such as managers, or if they are lucky, positions in their area of study,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}they hope will help them find employment after they graduate.

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}double responsibilities of working and studying result in a very busy,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (stress)life for some students.{#blank#}9{#/blank#}, it is the only way for many people to finance their college educations. Some Americans believe that the work experience is good for the students {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(they)since it gives them a taste of “the real world” outside the school.

Woman: Hello.

Man: Hi, Sally. This is Tom.

Woman: Oh, it's you, Tom. How have you been doing?

Man: {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (tell) you the truth, I'm very worried about our final examinations next month. For one thing, I can't sleep.

Woman: Well, last year, the university{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (offer) a special course about {#blank#}6{#/blank#}to get rid of anxiety at about this time. Have you been in contact with the Student Help Services?

Man: No. I haven't had time.

Woman: Funny, isn't it? Just when students need help most, we can't offer time to get it.

Man: Well, perhaps I{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (find) out more about this course. Things have got to get {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (good).

Woman: I suggest you (should) call the Help Services tomorrow. Here is {#blank#}9{#/blank#} number. They open at nine in the morning.

Man: Thanks, Sally. I'll let you know how {#blank#}10{#/blank#} goes.

China creates Harvest Festival for farmers

    Recently China has set up a special day for farmers to celebrate the yearly harvest. It is the first festival {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (create)by China specially for the country's farmers.

    “The country will celebrate the Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival on the autumnal equinox(秋分)of China lunar calendar from this year, ”said Han Changbin, minister of agriculture and rural affairs, at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} press conference. Autumnal equinox usually {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(fall)between September 22 and 24,  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the country's agricultural harvest season.

    The festival will give greater {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (important)to rural work and push for {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (fast) development of agriculture and rural areas.

    A variety of celebrations will be organized{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (display)the agricultural harvest, rural technology achievements and farmers' creativeness. Farmers {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(encourage)to involve in activities related to their work and life, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} waste should be avoided in the  celebrations.

    The rural economy is a key part of China's efforts to develop a modernized economy. By {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (develop)its vast rural areas, China expects to see a strong agricultural sector, a beautiful countryside and wealthy farmers.

    I recently became friends with a young man {#blank#}1{#/blank#} had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (work) for a company in Australia for more than ten years before I found a better job. I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving.

    The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (arrange) an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview.

    Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend should be a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (suit) choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (give) the time to learn, he could do the job. After a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (week) training, he was employed and was happy with his position.

    I knew how the terrible war had forced him to leave his homeland and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} price he had paid for doing so. I appreciate {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (be) able to live in Australia and believe that this {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (appreciate) is best proved by offering acts of kindness to people in need of help.
