Today I took part in a quiz show at a TV studio. When I arrived at  {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (eighth) o[clock, a woman put make-up on my face, and brushed my hair.

 Then the director came. He told me to stay {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (relax) and not to worry. It was really kind of him to do that. The hot lights shone down upon {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (we). One of the contestants passed out before the show started, so the director  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  (choose) another girl. The girl was called Angela. She knew a lot of  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (thing). She beat me and another contestant and finally won the prize. Everyone was happy for Angela.

 I was sorry I didn't win, but I'll do{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (well) next time.

   One Sunday afternoon, when Henry {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (swim) in his swimming pool, his friend Jack came to visit him.

“Wow! Henry, you have changed much these days. You are a sportsman now!” said Jack.                

“Well! Maybe in a couple of years.” {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (answer) Henry

“Do you swim every day?” asked Jack.

“Yeah. You know I get fat easily” Henry replied, “Now swimming {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  (become) part of my daily life already ! It makes me happy and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (keep) myself fit.”

“Sounds great! I {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (start) swimming tomorrow. After all, I’m too fat.” said Jack,

    Li Ming comes out of the train station. He wants to see his friend, Lin Tao. Lin Tao is a {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. He works in Zhongshan Hospital in this city. But Li Ming doesn't {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the way to the hospital. This is his {#blank#}3{#/blank#}visit to this city.

    Li Ming walks on the street {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Soon he comes to a school. Some students are walking {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of the school gate. He comes over and {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, “Excuse me, can you tell me the way to Zhongshan Hospital?”

  “Yes, I live near here.{#blank#}7{#/blank#} uncle works in that hospital, too. It's not {#blank#}8{#/blank#} from here. Go along this road to the end, and you'll find the{#blank#}9{#/blank#} on your right. You can't {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it,” a boy says, “It's about 500 meters from here.”

    Paper is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (到处). We use it for homework, money, books, letters and cards. We have paper {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （杯子）, paper bags, paper plates and so on. It was first made in China. The Chinese made the first {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （真正的） paper in the year AD 105. And the Chinese kept it as a secret for hundreds of years. By the end of the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （十二）century, paper-making reached Europe. The first paper made in Europe was in Spain in 1151. Later people improved the way of producing paper again and again.

    Because paper is made from wood, many people are {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (担心)that more and more trees are cut down to produce paper. Trees are an important part of the environment. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (因此)many paper factories are using old paper instead of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (新的) wood to make paper. The way of using old products again is called recycling. Recycling paper helps {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (节省) a lot of trees every year. Many people also try to use {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （更少） paper in their lives. For example, they use both sides of every piece of paper instead of just one. They also use computersto store information. Perhaps one day in the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (将来)people will not use paper to write at all.
