Some people have a very good memory(记忆) and can easily learn quite long poems(诗) by heart. O{#blank#}1{#/blank#}have poor memory and can only remember things when they have said again and a{#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    The famous English writer, Charles Dickens, said that he could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the n{#blank#}3{#/blank#} of every shop on both sides of the street. Many great men of the world have a w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} memory.

    A good memory is a great help in learning a language.  Everybody learns his own language by r{#blank#}5{#/blank#} what he hears when he is a small child. Some children live with their parents in foreign countries and they seem to l{#blank#}6{#/blank#} two languages as easily as one. In school it is not so e{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to learn a foreign language because students have little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects too. A man's mind is quite like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but also of what we f{#blank#}8{#/blank#}, hear, smell and taste. When we take real photos with cameras, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to s{#blank#}9{#/blank#} to our friends. In the s{#blank#}10{#/blank#} way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind.

    Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.

    Animals are people's friends. But many wild animals are facing the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (危险) of dying out, because the environment that they are living has {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (变化) greatly. Their living area has become {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (小) than before because of {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (污染) and the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (发展) of cities. They have no room to live in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (除了) the zoo. And many of the wild animals now can't find enough food to eat. At the same time, man is killing animals for their fur and meat. Now the situation is serious. So we should do something to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (保护) the animals. For example, we should set up some nature reserves so that animals can live {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (自由) and stop people from {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (杀死) animals. Of course a {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （健康的） environment which has fresh air, clean water and green grass is also important for animals. Only in this way can we save them.

    Hello. My name is Liu Mei. I'm from Fuzhou. I'm in No.1 Junior High School. I'm in Class Seven, Grade Seven. My mother {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(work) in No.1 Junior High School. She teaches Chinese. My father is a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}[ˈdɒktə(r)] in a hospital.

    On Sunday, my mother and I often do {#blank#}3{#/blank#} shopping. My mother likes shopping a lot. We will go shopping this Sunday afternoon. My mother says she will buy a red coat {#blank#}4{#/blank#} me. But I don't like red. I want a{#blank#}5{#/blank#}[pɪŋk] one. My mother says yes to me, I'm happy.

    My father doesn't like shopping at {#blank#}6{#/blank#} His favorite animal is monkeys. He often take

    {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(I) to the zoo. In the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} I can see monkeys, elephants, lions and tigers. The monkeys are very cute and clever.

    Recently, a foreign student in China gave a very touching answer to the question: What should China be proud of? It was{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(wide) spread online.

      Emma is from Canada. She came to China four years ago. Now she is{#blank#}2{#/blank#}university student in Ningbo. The following is China in her eyes.

    "{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(find) a job in China can be really simple. There are more job{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (chance) here than in any other country in the world."

    "Its public security（安全）is great. I{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(travel) to many countries so far, and I think China is really safe."

    "About 400 million Chinese are studying English. China will become the country{#blank#}6{#/blank#}has the greatest number of English speakers in non-English speaking countries." "The speed of Chinese trains is high. On my{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(three) visit to my friend in Beijing, I took a train there. From Ningbo{#blank#}8{#/blank#}Beijing, the train runs 1,365 kilometres for only seven hours."

    "There{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) many more things China should be proud of. I believe China must be much{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good) than other countries."
