Having been occupied with her graduation exam for a month, Bonnie Rivers passed {#blank#}1{#/blank#} finally. But unfortunately, though {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (die)to get it on her own, she could not collect her certificate, because the building {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the graduation ceremony was being held was not wheelchair {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (access). So she had to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (accompany) by her friend, who then came to Bonnie's {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (assist) while she waited outside. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} situation would not have happened {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a qualified architect had designed a building with wheelchair access. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}is often the case, the rights of the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (disable) are not taken seriously.

    Strange things happened {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Tangshan Earthquake happened. The well walls had deep cracks. A smelly gas came out of them. The water pipes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (crack) and burst. At 3:42  {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the morning of July 28, 1976, everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at {#blank#}4{#/blank#} end. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}  (dirty). Soon the whole city lay in {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(ruin). Many people died or were {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (injure). Everything in the city was destroyed. People were {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (shock) at this and wondered how long the disaster would last. The army organized teams to dig out those {#blank#}9{#/blank#} were trapped and to bury the dead. Workers built shelters for {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (survive). Fresh water was taken to the city. Slowly the city began to breathe again.

    Friendships are easy when you're in high school. Most of the time, you make {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (friend) with someone only because you like each other. But when you get to college, you'll {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (probable) find that maintaining (维持) friendships not only {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (require) mutual (相互的) appreciation,{#blank#}4{#/blank#} also money ── you'll have to spend money {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eat) out with your classmates, dorm mates and co-workers in school associations so you don't feel {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (leave) out.

    But according {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a survey, this financial pressure has become a burden on many young people,{#blank#}8{#/blank#} have to stay away from certain social events because they're short of money.

    {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (solve) that problem, you may want to prioritize (划分优先顺序) your social life, only choosing {#blank#}10{#/blank#} events that are the most important. Or, maybe you'll just have to face the reality: you can't have it all.

    Every year around Valentine's Day, men begin to worry about what {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (present) to buy and women {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (fill) with hope and expectation. Or the other way around. In China, more couples get married on that very day, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (add) romance to their promises. But for many, love is neither the matter-of-course choice {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the preferred one. More young, working urban residents are delaying or even choosing not to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (active) seek their partners despite the social pressure from the older generations to do so.

    Over the years, China's divorce rate has exceeded (超过) that of marriage. According to the statistics from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, 10 million couples registered for marriage in 2017 fell by 7% {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (compare) with the same period last year, while 43.7 million couples divorced, 5.2% more than the same period last year.

    There is also a growing trend towards people marrying later: since 2013, the number of couples aged 25 to 29 has been greater than {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of younger couples. In the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (late) survey on professional attitudes towards love and marriage, more than half of the investigated in Yangzhou, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} second-level city on the East coast, were satisfied {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their marriage after 35.

    John Snow was a famous doctor in London, who was so expert that he attended Queen Victoria as her {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(person) physician. But he felt {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(inspire) when he thought about {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(help) people exposed to cholera. Cholera was a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (dead) disease and neither its cause nor its cure was understood. John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve the problem. He suspected that people absorbed this disease {#blank#}5{#/blank#} their bodies with their meals. So when another outbreak hit London, he began his enquiry. He found that many victims {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(link) to the outbreak were near the water pump, so he had the handle {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (remove). Soon afterwards the disease slowed down. He drew a conclusion that the water was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(blame).

    The water {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(company) were instructed not to expose people to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(pollute) water any more. Finally "King Cholera" was defeated.
