After David's daughter was born, he decided to make one million dollars. He thought in this way his daughter would live {#blank#}1{#/blank#} happy life.

    In order to achieve his goal, David devoted most {#blank#}2{#/blank#}his time to his business. While other fathers {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(play) with their kids outside, he was working. While other fathers were reading stories to their kids, he was hanging out with his clients(客户). His little daughter {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(name) Jane hardly saw him.

    Time flew fast. One day, when David returned home from work, he saw Jane {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(sit) in the living room. When she saw him, she ran to him and asked him to play with her for a while. “Sorry, Jane, but I'm {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(terrible) busy tonight. I have a lot of work to do.” He was about to leave {#blank#}7{#/blank#}he heard Jane crying. So he stopped and asked why. “You're always working. You have no time for me at all. You're not a good dad,” said Jane. David was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(lose) in thought after hearing that. He remembered why he worked so hard — he wanted Jane to live a happy life. However, things go contrary to his wishes. He {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(teach) a good lesson that day. Therefore, he made a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(decide) to spend a lot more time with his daughter.

    Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation. Some of my friends who had been there before said {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was a Wonderful holiday destination. Before we went, we had planned for months. When the day came, we were ready.

    After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our reservation six months{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(early), but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(tell) that our rooms hadn't been reserved for that week,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} for the week after. I didn't understand {#blank#}5{#/blank#}this would happen and my credit card had already been charged {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the reservation. What's worse, the hotel had been fully hooked. When we were wondering what to do, the manager came out. She was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(surprise) helpful. She apologized for the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on {#blank#}8{#/blank#} top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room, and we weren't charged extra.

    The next day, my brother and I went to the beach {#blank#}9{#/blank#} we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(sunburn), but the day had been so relaxing that we didn't mind.

    Chinese President Xi Jinping has praised a group of middle school students for their efforts in satellite design. He said he was pleased with their curiosity and bravery in {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (science) exploration. The president also wished the teachers and students in Bayi School {#blank#}2{#/blank#} happy new year.

    Xi made the praise in a letter {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (write) to the students in Beijing's Bayi School on Saturday. A small satellite designed and developed by them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (send) into space last Wednesday at Taiyuan Satellite Launch (发射) Center {#blank#}5{#/blank#} it was designed to operate in orbit (轨道) for 180 days.

    Three months ago, Xi returned to his high school, to visit a laboratory and talk to teachers and students {#blank#}6{#/blank#} were designing the small satellite. The president said he was {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (extreme) glad to know that the satellite designed by the students would be launched and called on them to become {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (build) of the country. Xi warmly encouraged the students {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (study) science and contribute to the development of China. He hoped that the students would keep hungry for knowledge and develop {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (they) national spirit.

    Cambridge University in the UK acknowledged on Monday that it did consider a Chinese student's score on the national college entrance exams known{#blank#}1{#/blank#}the gaokao for new admissions. It also stressed that admissions are not only based on test scores but a comprehensive {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(assess)of each applicant. The response came after inquiries poured in over the last two days{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(follow)news reports claiming Cambridge started accepting China's gaokao scores from new{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(applicant).

    The reports{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (apparent) raised hopes of many Chinese students and parents{#blank#}6{#/blank#}thought entrance requirements to the storied university had now become somewhat {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(easy). Many netizens even joked{#blank#}8{#/blank#}they could retake their gaokao and get a better mark they would apply to the famed university. The university, however, says it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (consider) gaokao scores for years, requiring a student{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(rank) in the top 0.1 percent on the test in their province. Students also have to pass the still-required test, IELTS.

    In addition to Cambridge University, there are six other universities in the UK that recognize gaokao scores.
