One year ago， eleven of my friends and I got together and made a group. We called {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (our) “12 Caring Women”.

    We meet once a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and take turns to hold the activity. We each donate(捐赠) 20 dollars， so we have 240 dollars each month for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (do) good things.

    When we{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(meet)， we discuss what to do in the month. Last month， we donated the money to a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} lady. She had a baby in an earthquake， but didn't have money {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(raise) her baby.

    Over the past year， we have helped many people{#blank#}7{#/blank#} need. We work with the government and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (school). They help us find people in need. If we don't have people to{#blank#}9{#/blank#} in one month， we give the money to the nursing home(养老院).

    When we help people， we feel very happy. I'm writing this passage {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (ask) more people to join us.

    A group of boys gathered around a tree. "What a tall tree!" they said to each other. "It would be exciting to climb to the top!"

    The group of boys then decided to play a game to see who could {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(climb) to the top of the tree first. Their {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(mother) were sitting not far away, looking on at them as they played.

    One of the climbers was{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(冠词)8-year-old boy named David. He was the{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (short) child in the group. Nobody thought he would win the competition.

    Then the game started. All of the boys tried {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( they 1 best to climb as high as they could. {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(连词)they all made it halfway up the tree before David did, he reached the top of the tree first in the end.

    His mother was proud to see this. She asked him, "David, how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(quick)?"

    "It was easy, "David said. "The other children {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( keep) looking down as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they got scared and were afraid of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fall) down. I, however, looked only up. When I saw how close I was, I just went higher and higher until I reached the lop."

    It is true in life that if we just keep going forward{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(介词)looking back, we are more likely to reach our goals and achieve success.

    Today skateboarding is popular around the world. Many young people like the sport, and so {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(do) Marcelo Lusardi. However, the young man is quite different from many others -- he is a blind skateboarder.

    Marcelo was born in Argentina, and now he lives in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. He used to live an easy life but everything changed when he went blind in 2015. He felt {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(hope), as he couldn't imagine living without sight (视力).{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(Luck), a friend of his{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (father) stepped in and helped him out. Thanks to her help, Marcelo was able {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(accept) his condition and started getting out more.

    Marcelo went to the skate park he had often visited. At first, he thought skating was out of the question for a blind man like him. But his skateboarding friends {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(tell) him he was still one of them and he had to get back on the skateboard. They helped him learn to use his other senses except sight {#blank#}7{#/blank#}( ride )the skateboard again and even try out some new tricks.

    Looking back, Marcelo thought{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(lose) his sight helped him realize who he is and what he wants to do. “People sometimes have problems and think that's the end of the world, but in the end you can solve these problems. Look at me, I was skating, then I went blind, and now I {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(skate) again. Not as well as before, but I can still do it and leave people with their mouths{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (open).” So, remember: Everything has a solution in life.
