This is the first time John{#blank#}1{#/blank#}（visit）Xiao Li's hometown-Xiamen. It has been 6 years {#blank#}2{#/blank#}John and Xiao Li last saw each other and John thinks that this is one of the most{#blank#}3{#/blank#}．(attract) places that he has been to in China. Xiao Li says he feels fortunate living a city{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the coast in spite of so many{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(tour) in the summer.

    There are some shopping malls from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} John could buy a few presents and a huge apartment block , but the rent for an apartment is very{#blank#}7{#/blank#}. After{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(leave)the business district , they approached the harbor.

    Gulangyu Island is a gorgeous island with some interesting{#blank#}9{#/blank#}（architectural）.When they stopped, they had lunch in a fish restaurant because John is{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (starve).

    Mobile phones are becoming more and more popular not only with{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(grown-up) but also with students. Meanwhile,they also{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(become) a problem for middle schools in the past few years.Some children have got mobile phones{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Christmas or birthday gifts,and more will still want them.

    Many like SMS because it is{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(ease) and quick.Some parents felt happy because they could communicate with their children.Some teachers said mobile phone use{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) a distraction（分心的事）to students during school hours and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}also gave them much trouble in their classrooms.Sometimes students might use phone messages{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(cheat) during exams.A new study found that some teenagers sending messages in class even hurt their fingers because they can't stop{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(send) SMS.

    Many teachers suggested that students should not have phones at school,but if there was a good reason,they could leave their phones at school office.And even they can use the telephone in the teachers' office instead.Many people think they understand the reason{#blank#}9{#/blank#}parents would want their children to have them,but they agree schools should tell the students{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(use) their mobile phones at proper times.

    Many people think when they become rich and successful, happiness will {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(nature) follow. However, the world is full of rich people who are miserable as if they {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(live) in Hell. We have read some stories about movie stars who committed suicide {#blank#}3{#/blank#}died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer {#blank#}4{#/blank#}all problems. Wealth{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(acquire) through dishonest means does not bring happiness. In my view, the secret to happiness lies in your hard work, your {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(contribute) towards others' happiness and your wealth you earn through your own effort. If you get your money by taking advantage of others, you will not be happy with it. Long-term happiness{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(base) on honesty, hard work and self-esteem. Happiness is not {#blank#}8{#/blank#}end; it is a process. It is no use saying that some day when I get a car, build a house or own my own business, then I will be really happy. Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(happen) to make you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(miss).

    Last month I took the bus back to my hometown. I carried a big piece of luggage with me and put it beside my leg on the bus. As usual, I closed my eyes and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （try）to take a rest. Suddenly, I felt someone {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (move) my luggage. I opened my eyes and looked up. It was the driver {#blank#}3{#/blank#} carried my luggage away, saying "you will be more comfortable if you put the luggage at the first row {#blank#}4{#/blank#} no one takes the seat". As a salesperson, I have taken these buses many times, and never have I {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (meet) such a considerate driver who cared so much about the passengers before. This simple act touched my soft heart and will always {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (keep) in my memory.

    I think we have to learn from him and serve our clients（客户） much {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (well). We have to be more considerate and offer more attentive service to our clients during {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (they) visit to us. Sometimes one little thing may make people happy or angry, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} make the clients decide whether {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (do) business with us or not.

    Does the name of the college you attend really matter? Research on the question {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (suggest) that, for most students, it doesn't. What students do at college seems to matter much more than {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they go. The students benefitting most from college are those {#blank#}3{#/blank#} are totally engaged (参与) in academic life. taking full advantage of the college's chances and resources (资源). Students should have a proper attitude towards college before thinking about which college to attend, and it's never too early to make necessary preparations for a healthy and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (meaning) college experience.
