-- _____________ he passed the exam with ease.

Patient: Good morning, doctor

Doctor: Morning. What seems to be the trouble?

Patent: It's my vision. I can't see well at night, and when I wake up in the morning, it takes me a few minutes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I can see clearly.

Doctor: OK. I'm going to take a closer look. Just relax. How {#blank#}2{#/blank#} has this been going on?

Patient: A couple of weeks, I guess — wow, that's bright!

Doctor:{#blank#}3{#/blank#}it hurt when I do that?

Patient: Not exactly. It's just really bright.

Doctor: OK. Please, go on.

Patient: Well, I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (walk) down to the basement in my house about three weeks ago when I slipped and bumped my head pretty hard on the steps.

Doctor: Where exactly did you hit your head?

Patient: Right on the back. I heard a loud sound, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} everything seemed to be okay.

Doctor: You didn't get it {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(check) out then?

Patient: No, I didn't. Well, a week passed, and all of a sudden I started to have problems {#blank#}7{#/blank#} my sight. I first noticed it when I was driving back home from work. It's gotten {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (bad) over the past week.

Doctor: I'm glad you came. I'm going to order some tests, and I want to make {#blank#}9{#/blank#}appointment for you to see a specialist tomorrow morning. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (hope), nothing is too serious.

—We hear so much about exercises these days. So even experts can't agree on which exercises are best. Now some doctors are strongly encouraging arm exercises.

—Arm exercises? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

—{#blank#}2{#/blank#} They say that arm exercises are a way to become physically healthy.

—But don't arm exercises raise your blood pressure?

—Yes. But the articles I read supply ways to make up for that.

—How?

—By adding leg exercises, so that the arms don't do all the work.

—{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

—Sounds right to me. I quite agree with you.

—{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

—They mentioned quite a few, but some of the popular ones are cycling with special

bicycles that make you use both your arms and legs.

—{#blank#}5{#/blank#} So I'd like to have a try.

—The same with me.

A. So what exercises do the experts suggest?

B. The more leg exercises you do, the better you are.

C. And in turn I'm sure that they're also a good chance of losing weight.

D. Actually that's not the main reason.

E. What's your opinion about this?

F. Is that because our arms are too fat or soft?

G. I can hardly believe it.

（At 3:00 pm, Tom and Amy are in the classroom.)

Tom: Hi, Amy.

Amy: Hi, Tom. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} What's wrong with you?

Tom: I have a stomachache.

Amy: What did you eat for lunch?

Tom:  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Amy: I see. Maybe it is caused by them.

Tom: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Amy: Do you often just have snacks for lunch?

Tom: Yes, very often.

Amy: Oh! {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Snacks are bad for health.

Tom: I know that. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} But I really enjoy them.

Amy: Anyway, you should try to eat less.

Tom: You are right. I'll try from now on.

    When we compare ourselves with great people, we may feel very ordinary (平凡的）unimportant. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, we must remember that those great people were extraordinary (卓越的) The world has more than 6 billion people, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} it is difficult for all of us to be extraordinary. What can we do? We can try to be the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (good) people that we can possibly be.

    This means that we Deed to be honest and hardworking. We also need to be open-minded and kind to other people. Most {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (importance), we need to be ambitious (有雄心的). We need to always set goals for {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (we) and work hard to achieve these goals.

    Madam Curie and Thomas Edison were hard-working, kind and ambitious, and they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (work) hard to achieve their goals. Curie gave her life to “ease (减轻）human suffering”. Edison spent his life as an inventor. He invented a camera {#blank#}7{#/blank#} showed movement. Later people used cameras to make modem films.

    A famous writer from Ireland once wrote, "We are all in the gutter (社会底层）but some of us are looking at {#blank#}8{#/blank#} stars.” I often come up with this when I am unable to achieve something. It reminds me that we are all at a lower level {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that we all have a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (high) goal to work towards.

Mark: That's great! Anything interesting?

Tracy: Yes, working at an{#blank#}1{#/blank#}park.

Mark: Wow, that sounds{#blank#}2{#/blank#} !

Tracy: So, have you found anything?

Mark: Nothing yet, but I have a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} of leads. One is working as an intern for a record company-mostly answering phones. Or I can get a landscaping job again.

Tracy:{#blank#}4{#/blank#} an intern sounds more interesting than landscaping. You'd have better hours, and it's probably not as much work.

Mark: Yeah, but a landscaper earns more than an intern. And you get a great tan!
