Recently I failed an exam. However, when I came out of my teacher's office, I told myself, "Smile! It's not so serious."

    I smiled a big smile and it {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(work) a little, really.

Everyone gets {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(disappoint) sometimes. I used to be always influenced by pressure and I was often in low spirits. But one day I meet {#blank#}3{#/blank#}a sentence in the Bible, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself, let the day's own trouble be enough for the day." {#blank#}4{#/blank#} suddenly occurred to me that {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(worry) about a problem doesn't help. Why not just give a big smile and face up to the trouble？"

    Now every time I want to cry, I remind myself that {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(laugh) is better than tears and anger. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(deep) believe that there's something magical about a smile. A smile helps me recover confidence and gives me {#blank#}8{#/blank#}courage to move on.

    Remember, whenever you're faced with a setback, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} difficulty you come across, all it takes is determination and you can feel happy again. Smile at life, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it will shine on you.

    Global warming has caused a rise in sea levels,{#blank#}1{#/blank#}has increased the amount of salt in fresh water used on seaside farms. As a result, farmers are{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (increase) unable to use fields close to the sea.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}a farmer in the Netherlands is now using a mixture of sea and fresh water {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (grow) tasty vegetables.

    It is in his eight areas {#blank#}5{#/blank#}he teamed up with scientists such as George Hambley to make the first attempt. Separate {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (pipe) pumped mixed water. And a computer program controlled the levels of salinity and water{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (call) “Sensor”. The researchers said they were able to harvest vegetables from most of{#blank#}8{#/blank#}eight test areas. They said the vegetables were smaller than{#blank#}9{#/blank#}grown in fresh water. However, due to more sugar and salt in the water, they taste{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(good).

    There is a woman {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（name）Daisy who has devoted all her life to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（attend）to the homeless children. It's generally recognized that what she has done for children {#blank#}3{#/blank#}（deserve）to be respected by everyone. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（personal）speaking, her selfless behavior sets a good example to us.

    There was a time when I came across Daisy who {#blank#}5{#/blank#}（invite）to deliver a speech, during which she indicated, “{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（take）care of homeless children is just {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ordinary job, but it doesn't mean that you can look down {#blank#}8{#/blank#}it. Every job is equal. We can't say which one is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（good ）.” She also said, “Once you set out to do something, you ought to carry on with it to the end, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you will gain nothing in the end.”

    “USA? Britain? Which country is{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(good) to study in?” We often hear such discussion. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

    It's true that studying abroad can help students develop{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(they). Their foreign language skills will{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (improve) and it may be easier to find jobs.

    But there are problems{#blank#}4{#/blank#} should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (learn) another language.

    Students must also learn{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (live) without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they didn't have to do before, like looking after themselves. There are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (report) about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties{#blank#}8{#/blank#} giving up in the end. When they have to take care {#blank#}9{#/blank#} themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

    Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (be) very high. But is it worth it?
