I'm on holiday here in Switzerland with my parents and I'm having {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Fantastic time. We're staying in a hotel near a lake and I can see snowy mountain  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (peak) from my bedroom.

    I've never been to the mountains before and I love {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. It's also the first time I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (stay) in a hotel. My father isn't very happy though. He {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (forbid) to smoke in the hotel so he has to go outside!

    We go mountain climbing with a guide. You don't have to go with a guide but it's {#blank#}6{#/blank#}．(safe).

    Yesterday we went {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a boat trip around the lake. It suddenly started to rain heavily. It was fun but a bit {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (frighten).

    The best thing of all is the beautiful scenery. The worst is{#blank#}9{#/blank#} I can't go out at night. Not because my parents won't let me but because there's nowhere {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (go).

    Writing text messages while walking is dangerous. A study says it is more dangerous than texting while driving. Researchers found that there are more {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (injury) to texting pedestrians(行人) than there are to texting motorists. Their report says walking is not as easy {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we think. We must focus on many things at the same time to walk safely in a straight line. The researchers said that people forget how to walk {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (proper), so dangerous things happen to them. They bump(撞) into walls and other people. They walk into cars, fall over things in the street, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} even fall into holes.

    A professor said walking is a difficult action. There are several reasons {#blank#}5{#/blank#} texting makes walking dangerous. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} is that people cannot see the street. Another is that they focus on their phone keyboard instead of their feet. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else—they are not thinking about {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (walk) from A to B safely. The professor said over 6,000 people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (visit) his hospital last year because of texting. He said {#blank#}9{#/blank#} worst cases are head injuries. When a pedestrian is tossed into the air he/she has nothing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (protect) the head. The damage can be serious.

    Examinations are of great{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(important) in Chinese schools and universities,so millions of the students take part in them every year.Almost all the students{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(teach) from an early age to understand the nature of examinations.It is true that some students can pass an examination{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(easy) than others,although it doesn't mean they are better with their study.

    Quite a few students are afraid of examinations though they master{#blank#}4{#/blank#}they have learned very well.Sometimes the fear of examinations comes from pressure.

    People think pressure is good for students{#blank#}5{#/blank#}it can make the students{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(try) harder and make some school work more challenging.But too much pressure may even cause diseases{#blank#}7{#/blank#}will influence students' academic performance badly.

    No student succeeds{#blank#}8{#/blank#}hard work.If one spends  little{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(work) on their lessons every day,they can't expect{#blank#}10{#/blank#}good result at the end of the term.Developing study skills can get students to learn better and to pass examinations with ease if they understand the lessons and the work involved.

    Chamberlain, the first player{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(score) more than 3,000 points in a season, was born in Philadelphia in 1936. He was the only one of the 11 children who{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(be) tall. As a child, Chamberlain had {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(vary) health problems and he nearly died of pneumonia when he was ten.

    Chamberlain is the only NBA player who averaged more than 50 points per game for an entire season. At one point, Chamberlain was so much{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(good) than all the other players that they changed the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(rule) of the game to try to stop him. He joined the NBA's Philadelphia Warriors in the 1959—1960 season and was{#blank#}6{#/blank#}immediate success. Chamberlain{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(name) the most valued player four times in the league.

    Chamberlain ended his career after five {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(amaze) seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. By the time he retired, he held many NBA records: he scored 50 or more points 118 times and 60 or more points 32 times,{#blank#}9{#/blank#}won him the title “outstanding player of his generation”. Would{#blank#}10{#/blank#} be interesting if Chamberlain played with Michael Jordan?

    Every year, A large number of people go back home for Christmas. Joe's plane landed on time at Heathrow Airport. He had {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (exact)one hour to get out of the airport and go across the centre of the airport and the centre of London to catch his train to Manchester. He hurried through the airport, and then raced {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the taxi sign.

    Unfortunately, at that moment, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (he)luggage broke and dirty socks, shirts and underwear were all over the airport floor. Joe was so {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (embarrass)that he quickly put everything back into his luggage. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (push)his way through the crowds of people, he finally made it to the taxi rank. He jumped into the nearest taxi, shouting, “Euston Station, quickly, please!” The taxi set off at such {#blank#}6{#/blank#} high speed that Joe was thrown backward, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} made him hit his head against the glass. The taxi sped on and finally arrived in the city centre, and also the middle of a traffic jam! It would be quicker to walk there. Joe offered {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (pay)the driver, got out of the taxi, and ran along the pavement and past all the shop {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (window). At last, he could see the station opposite.

    He reached the station just as his train was leaving. He {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (get)on the train with seconds to spare. He sighed with relief—he would be home in time for Christmas.
