Rachel and her husband, Jason,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}were both experienced climbers, were on a climbing holiday in Switzerland. When they were 3，000 metres up in the mountains, there was{#blank#}2{#/blank#}storm.The wind was {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (extreme) strong and the snow was two metres deep.They couldn't move. Rachel had her mobile phone with her, so she sent a text message to five friends in the UK {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(get) their help.

    About four hours later, one of her friends, Martha, responded {#blank#}5{#/blank#}her with a text message.Martha said she had phoned the police in Switzerland and that they had got in touch with the mountain rescue team.

    But the weather was so bad{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the helicopter (直升飞机) couldn't get to the two climbers.The rescue team sent a message to Rachel, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}say：“So sorry Rachel. We tried. Wind is too strong. Have to wait till morning. Take care. Be strong.” Rachel  felt {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(hope) and thought they were going to die as it was freezing, －15 ℃. However, Jason encouraged her, telling her not to give up.

    Next morning the storm{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(pass) and the helicopter arrived to take them off the mountain. After the accident, they cared for each other with greater{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(devote)．

    When I was in primary school, I didn't like going to school. I had {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (difficult) in reading and writing and I always could not answer the teacher's questions {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (correct). I cried a lot because I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (laugh) at by my classmates. My parents would always get mad at me. I felt very upset and didn't have any interest{#blank#}4{#/blank#} study.

    But then one day, I decided{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (change) my attitude towards study. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}I ended up paying more attention in class and I started to practice my vocabulary and spelling skills. Also, I always {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (go) to my teachers to ask for help when I had any trouble. I started to do better in Grade 3. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}I was in Grade 4, I was still improving. By Grade 5, I had become the top student in class.

    Now as I am {#blank#}9{#/blank#} senior high school student, I know it might be difficult at first. But I like my past in primary school, I know if I keep working and don't give up I will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (success).

    The British Museum, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (locate) in the Bloomsbury area of London, is the first national public museum dedicated to human history, art and culture. Its permanent collection numbers some 8 million works, making {#blank#}2{#/blank#} one of the largest in existence. It has been {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wide) sourced, and documenting the story of human culture {#blank#}4{#/blank#} its beginnings to the present. As with all other national museums in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} United Kingdom, it charges no admission fee. Its ownership of some of its most famous objects {#blank#}6{#/blank#} originally came from other countries is controversial, particularly in the case of the Parthenon Marbles. Today the museum no longer houses {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (collection) of natural history, and the books and manuscripts (手稿) once it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (hold) now form part of the independent British Library, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} it still keeps its universality in collections of artificial works {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (represent) the cultures of the world, ancient and modern.

    When I packed up my life and moved from the comforts of my little hometown to Waco, I remember feeling {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (lose). All my friends were so excited to start their own lives, but I just wasn't sure {#blank#}2{#/blank#} I was ready for that yet. Many things worried me. But I hid my fears and when the time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (final) came, I hugged my mother goodbye, made the two-hour one-way drive from Coppel to Waco, and set up my new room.

    For the first few weeks, I didn't miss home or really feel any kind of emotion at all except tired. There was so much for me to learn {#blank#}4{#/blank#} I hadn't had time to think about anything. My energy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (direct) towards figuring out campus, adjusting to college-level classes and remembering the names of every new person I met. I explored every corner, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) for the perfect place to study. I learned to set {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (I) a schedule of getting groceries, cleaning my room and doing my laundry on Sundays.

    Nowadays, in my second semester, I feel like I have almost adapted {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the university life. The transition from high school to college wasn't {#blank#}9{#/blank#} difficult as my mind made me think it would be. One of the best {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (thing) college has taught me is how to be independent.
