The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely {#blank#}1{#/blank#} by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on {#blank#}3{#/blank#} cheek! She stepped back {#blank#}4{#/blank#}surprised and put up her hands, as if in 50．{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. I guessed that there was probably a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed {#blank#}7{#/blank#}his nose touched George's {#blank#}8{#/blank#} hand. They both apologized－ another  {#blank#}9{#/blank#} mistake!

Of course Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from giant {#blank#}13{#/blank#} ship to terrifying free-fall drops.

    “{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (congratulate), Mr. Cooper . It's a girl.”

    Fatherhood is going to have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different meaning and brings forth different responses from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud, while others worry, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wonder) whether they will be a good father.

    Although there are some men {#blank#}4{#/blank#} like children and may have had much experience with them, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} do not particularly look after children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) forward to children for some time.

    Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of a father is a difficult task. Yet, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fortunate), few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this. Although numerous books have been written about mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.

    It is argued that the transition to the father's role, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the mother's role. The mother's role seems {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (require) a complete transformation in daily routine. However, the father's role is less demanding and immediate.

    The film Goodbye Mr Loser（《夏洛特烦恼》has neither a team of shining stars nor a money-consuming publicity campaign to appeal to numerous moviegoers. But{#blank#}1{#/blank#} it does have is a bunch of middle-aged actors and actresses pretending to be high school students. Yet{#blank#}2{#/blank#} is amazing that the film is funny enough to earn it belly laughs from beginning to end.

    The movie, just{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the title indicates, is about a small fry named Xia Luo, who is merely {#blank#}4{#/blank#} loser. He's down and out with no job, and he lives with his wife in a crowded apartment .In a dream, Xia relives his life with everything he ever wanted. But at last he realizes that what he {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (true) misses is his ordinary life.

    The movie is adapted {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a theater play of the same title produced by Mahua FunAge (开心麻花). The company set out {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (stage) its first amusing plays, known as “grassroots theater”, in 2003.Up to now, the group {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (produce)21 plays and built a considerable fan base.

    The popularity of these plays and the recent hit, according to critics, reflects a trend of the public's increasingly mature and diverse taste in cinema. Previous {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (success) include A Hero or Not (《煎饼侠》）, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (release) this summer by Dong Chengpeng, and Crazy Stone by Ning Tao.

In order to get the amazing {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (achieve), Zac solved lots of problems.

    When something broke on his boat, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (thousand) of miles out to sea, Zac had to repair it all by {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (he). Fresh food doesn't last long, so he got used to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eat) freeze-dried meals and canned food. And he felt lonely.

    Zac's experiences at sea were not all difficult or miserable(痛苦的). He got {#blank#}6{#/blank#}chances of seeing a night sky more shining than you have ever seen from land, watching {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (beauty) sunrises and sunsets and meeting different marine(海中的) life.

    Zac sailed alone but not non-stop. He made stops along the way {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (add) some more food and fuel. During those stops, he met people from different cultures. His father met him during many of his stops, took him out {#blank#}9{#/blank#} an excellent meal and helped repair the boat {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (frequent).

    It was the ambition of an eleven years old boy in Kansas City to be an engine driver. Born without arms, he had been sent to special schools {#blank#}1{#/blank#} he learned to use his {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (foot) as “hands”. He spend all his spare time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (watch) trains and one day his dream came {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (truth). Seeing a deserted engine, the boy climbed in, he had no {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (difficult) in starting it up with his feet. Soon he was traveling along {#blank#}6{#/blank#} forty miles an hour. Signalmen could not see the young driver, so they set out {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(stop) the train. Meanwhile the boy reached Missouri, stopped the engine himself, and then {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(make) it go backwards. When he was near home, a railwayman caught up with the engine and stopped it.
