The dog, later {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name) Arthur, came up to a Swedish team while the members were sharing a meal in front of a 20_mile race stage through the rough area in Ecuador. One of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (athlete), Mikael Lindnord, took pity on the dog wandering near their table and fed {#blank#}3{#/blank#} meatball to it. And that meatball made them friends for life, as far as Arthur was concerned.

The extreme sport of adventure racing includes biking, hiking, and boating that challenge even the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (strong) humans. Imagine a dirty stray（迷失的）dog trying {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (keep ) up. But Arthur {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (do) keep up. The dog followed the team as they got up to leave. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (actual), he never stopped following them—swimming alongside the boat of the team, and taking on muddy(泥泞的)slopes when the team hiked.

    Arthur stayed alongside the team for the rest of the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (compete),but not without cost to his well—being. The dog needed doctor's attention after the six-day race was finished {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the team helped Arthur as much as they could during the event. Arthur's hard work paid off: Lindnord decided to adopt(收养) the dog {#blank#}10{#/blank#} brought him back to Sweden.

    A critical factor "that plays a part in people's susceptibility(敏感性)to colds is age. In the past four years, the University of the Michigan School of Public Health {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (do)a study, revealing some general ru1es for the public. It says that babies are most likely {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (catch)a cold. Babies will catch more than six colds during their first year {#blank#}3{#/blank#} average. Besides, boys have more colds than girls when they are under the age of three. When they grow older than three years old, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} is easier for girls to catch colds than boys. Girls might catch three colds, while boys catch two {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (annual).

    Generally speaking, the incidents of colds continue to decline while people are growing older. Elderly people who are in good {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (healthy)have as few as one or two colds every year. One exception is found among people in their {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (twenty), especially women, who show a rise in cold infections. This is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} people in this age group have young babies to bring up. Adults who delay {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (have)children until they are more than thirty experience {#blank#}10{#/blank#} same sudden increase in cold infections.

    Mr.Brown was tired of living in the big city {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he worked. He wanted to move to the country and live in a house from which he could get to his office in the city early every day. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (look) for a house when he saw an advertisement in a newspaper one day. The advertisement said that a suitable house in a quiet area was up for sale {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a reasonable price, and the house was within a stone's throw of a railway station from which there were frequent {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (train) to the big city.

    "That's exactly {#blank#}5{#/blank#} I need," Mr. Brown said to {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (him). So he called the housing agency and arranged to go by train the next day {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (have) a look at the house.

    The housing agent met him at the station and they started walking. It took them at least 15 minutes to get to the house. When they finally arrived, Mr. Brown said {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (angry), "I should be very {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (interest) to meet the man who threw the stone you mentioned in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} newspaper."

    The Internet {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (become) part of young people's life. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet. Most of them get {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (use) information on the Internet and use the Internet to help in {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (they) studies. But many students don't use it {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a good way. Some play games too much and some visit websites they shouldn't look at. So bad things may happen if students spend too much time on the Internet.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is important for students to use the Internet {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (proper). Now we have a textbook, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} uses many examples to teach students some good ways to use the Internet. It gives some useful {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (advise).

    Some students also make friends on the Internet. But if you want to have a face­to­face {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (meet) with your online friends, let your parents know and meet in a proper place.

    Today I will share a true story about an overseas student {#blank#}1{#/blank#} studied in Germany.

    After years of hard work, this student graduated with {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(amaze) achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} interview! The third time he {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (refuse), he couldn't help {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(telephone) the company to ask why they didn't want him. The answer was simple. "We don't offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany."

    You might wonder what was wrong. The truth is, shortly after he {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (arrive) in Germany, this clever student found that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (time).

    From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits(好处)in dishonest ways, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the truth will come out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember that {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(honest) is the rule.

    Coffee bars, live music, cinemas and shopping malls—Chinese cities offer everything that a young person might want. But there are many young people who hardly have time to enjoy these things. That's because they follow what is called the "996" work schedule (时间表) {#blank#}1{#/blank#} at 9 am and finishing at 9 pm, six days a week.

    The "996" work schedule has recently become a hot topic of discussion online after a computer programmer set up a website called "996.ICU". According to the website, working a "996" schedule {#blank#}2{#/blank#} enough rest is unhealthy and could cause people to end up in an intensive care unit (ICU,重症监护病房). This work schedule is now widely used at Chinese tech companies like Baidu, Alibaba and Huawei, New York Times reported. It causes many tech industry workers to complain. One worker from Baidu company said, "I know I am not the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} worker who works overtime I have worked ‘996' for nine months and I haven't received any overtime pay. It's unfair though quite common." Another worker named Zhang told Quartz, "I can't sleep well and become ill because of the great pressure. I feel really tired, so I am considering giving up this job and looking for {#blank#}4{#/blank#}."

    However, the bosses of some tech companies have supported "996". Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, said it's "a huge treasure" for young workers to work "996". "If you don't put more time and energy than others, how will you achieve the success you want? If you don't work ‘996' when you're young, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} will you?" he said.

    Many have questioned Ma's words. In a passage in People's Daily, one writer said "Working ‘996' is just working overtime. However, working overtime does not {#blank#}6{#/blank#} working hard. Working hard requires efforts and working wisely and effectively."

    A lawyer called Cui Zhendong told China Daily that it is against the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} to use a compulsory (强制的) "996" work schedule. China's Labor Law clearly announces that workers should work no more than eight hours a day {#blank#}8{#/blank#} more than forty-four hours a week.
