“{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (congratulate), Mr. Cooper . It's a girl.”

    Fatherhood is going to have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} different meaning and brings forth different responses from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud, while others worry, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (wonder) whether they will be a good father.

    Although there are some men {#blank#}4{#/blank#} like children and may have had much experience with them, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} do not particularly look after children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (look) forward to children for some time.

    Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of a father is a difficult task. Yet, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fortunate), few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this. Although numerous books have been written about mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.

    It is argued that the transition to the father's role, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the mother's role. The mother's role seems {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (require) a complete transformation in daily routine. However, the father's role is less demanding and immediate.

    A recent study shows that most adults did household chores(家务） {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （active）when they were young. Most kids today do not do as many household chores as before, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} same study shows.

    An expert said, "Parents today want their kids to spend more time {#blank#}3{#/blank#} things that can bring them money and honour. They have stopped {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (do) the one thing that has proven to bring success. That is doing household chores."

    Another study finds that compared with the kids {#blank#}5{#/blank#} didn't do household chores, young adults beginning chores at ages 3 and 4 were more likely {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (succeed). They had better family relationships, did better in school, performed better at work and were more independent.

    Personal happiness is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (say)to come from strong relationships. It begins by learning to be kind and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(help) to their parents at home.

    If your kids say they have to skip chores because it is time they {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (deal) with their homework, you'd better not let them off the hook. If you do, your child may think grades are more important than caring about others. "What may seem like small {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (message) at the moment add up to big ones over time." says an expert.

    China reached a milestone in space exploration on January 3, 2019. Chang'e-4 {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (successful) landed on the far side of the moon's surface.

    This is the first time in history{#blank#}2{#/blank#} any country has performed a soft landing on the back of the moon. It is also a huge win for Chinese scientists who have been planning out this work for {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (year).

    Shortly after the lander's arrival, it sent back a photo of the Yutu rover (月球车) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (roll) slowly across the moon's dusty surface. As{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (expect), the lander will conduct a number of challenging tasks. It will observe the low-gravity environment and explore {#blank#}6{#/blank#} there is water or other resources. Later, soil samples{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (collect) and returned to the earth. Scientists believe that the back of the moon is {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (ancient) than the front, so the soil age is valuable for studying the early history of the moon.

    Since the far side of the moon is quiet and free {#blank#}9{#/blank#} electromagnetic interference (干扰) from the earth, it's a perfect place to research the space environment. Everything {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (appear) to be working smoothly, and we can expect plenty of moon news out of China in the near future.

    The story goes {#blank#}1{#/blank#} two friends are walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} argument, and one friend beats the other one in the face.

    The one is hurt, but {#blank#}3{#/blank#} saying anything, he writes in the sand: "Today my best friend beats me in the face."

    They keep on walking {#blank#}4{#/blank#} they find an oasis (绿洲) and they decide to take a bath. The one who{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (beat) gets stuck in the mire (泥潭) and starts to sink, but {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (fortune) the friend saves him.

    After he recovers from the near {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (drown), he writes on a stone: "Today my best friend saves my life."

    His friend asks him, "When I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, but now you write on a stone. Why?"

    He {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(reply): "When someone hurts us, we should write it down in the sand, the winds of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (forgive) can rub it away. But when someone does something good to us, we must carve {#blank#}10{#/blank#} on a stone, therefore, no wind can ever erase it."
