People nowadays can hardly imagine what Jewish people went through during World War Ⅱ. It was just because they were Jewish{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Anne and her family had to hide away, or they would be{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(catch) by the German Nazis.

    Anne hadn't been able to be outdoors for{#blank#}3{#/blank#}long a time that she had grown crazy{#blank#}4{#/blank#}everything to do with nature.

    For example, when it was warm, she stayed{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(wake)on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a look at the moon for once by{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(her). But as the moon gave far too much light, she didn't dare open a window. And another time, she happened{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(be) upstairs one evening when the window was open. She didn't go downstairs{#blank#}8{#/blank#}the window had to be shut. The dark,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (rain) evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held her entirely in their power. It was the first time in a year and a half that she{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(see) the night face to face.

    “Be careful, doctor. I can stand anything {#blank#}1{#/blank#} pain.” When returning from the hospital, I thought about what my previous patient said. Aren't we all like that? We'll do anything{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (avoid) pain.

    We look for weight loss programmes {#blank#}3{#/blank#}don't require us to count calories or give up our favorite foods, and exercise programmes that won't make us sweat toe much or feel {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (tire). We avoid the strict teachers and the tough classes in school {#blank#}5{#/blank#}we don't want to deal with the difficult tasks.

    When it comes right down to it, we don't like the hard work {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (require) to accomplish the goals we truly want in our lives. Why can't we {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(nature) take the path that we know is best for us? Our earthly nature is to avoid the pain of diet, exercise, difficult classes, and hard work.

    Only if we change our nature, can we choose the tough, troublesome, and trying pathway. Because it is in {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(face) the difficult choices that we will truly grow, and our being will be advanced once we decide to face the tough tasks.

    We {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(give) a choice when we comes across cur earthly nature. We can overcome the problems that challenge us or we can enjoy {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(we) by avoiding all difficulties in following our earthly nature. It's our choice. My hope is that we'll step forward in faith.

    California is the third {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(large) state in the USA and it is the most multicultural state. About 15,000 years ago, the first {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(settle) crossed the Bering Strait and arrived in California. The Native Americans suffered {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(great) after the arrival of the Europeans in the 16th century. In the 18th century, California{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(rule) by Spain until 1821 when the people of Mexico gained their independence{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Spain. California then became part of Mexico. But after the American-Mexican war in 1846, California was given to the USA.

    In 1848, gold was discovered in California，{#blank#}6{#/blank#}attracted people from all over the world to arrive there{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(achieve) their dreams of becoming rich. In 1850, California became{#blank#}8{#/blank#} 31st state of the USA as a multicultural society.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (attract) by the climate and lifestyle, more and more people from different parts of the world have been immigrating to California{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(include) Asians, Africans and Europeans.

    I was on my way home with a friend yesterday {#blank#}1{#/blank#} I found a mobile phone by the roadside. After picking it up, I suggested that we go to the house in front of which we found the mobile phone. And we did so. I {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (knock) at the door and two young men answered. Neither of them had lost {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(they) phones, but as I referred to some names on the contact list(通讯录), one of them said he also had those {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(name) and that it must be the phone of one {#blank#}5{#/blank#}their friends. Then, he took the phone and said how wonderful it was that I took the time {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(find) the owner. Afterwards, I left without {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(leave) my name or address. I never considered keeping the phone. Instead, I immediately tried to find {#blank#}8{#/blank#} owner. And I believed that was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(exact) what I would want someone to do if I lost my phone. It couldn't have been {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good).

Sometimes, helping others is just doing the right thing.

    Have you ever wondered{#blank#}1{#/blank#}children always seem to have bags of energy and never run out of steam? Researchers have discovered that children have the levels of recovery of endurance athletes. In fact, scientists say children's muscles recover from "high-intensity exercise" a lot{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(quick) than athletes. A study looked at the performance levels of children when they were cycling, and compared their fitness to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}of athletes. Researcher Dr Sebastien Ratel suggested they {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (find) the children used more of their aerobic metabolism and were therefore less tired during the high-intensity physical activities. The children also recovered very quickly-even faster than the well-trained adult endurance athletes.

    The researchers hope that{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they) findings will help scientists have a better{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(understand) how the human body changes with age. It could lead to advances in the fight {#blank#}7{#/blank#} diabetes and other diseases. Dr Ratel said the research was{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(particular) important as more children were become less active. He warned: "With the diseases related to physical inactivity{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(rise), know the changes with growth that might contribute to the risk of disease. "{#blank#}10{#/blank#}is helpful for children to maintain their fitness as they grow up and play as much as they could so they remain healthy as adults.
