A Thanksgiving Day story in the newspaper told of a school teacher {#blank#}1{#/blank#} asked her class of first graders to draw a picture of something they were thankful for. She {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (think) of how little these children from poor neighbourhood actually had to be thankful for. But she knew that most of them would draw pictures of turkeys or tables full {#blank#}3{#/blank#} food. The teacher was taken back with the picture Douglas handed in—a small childishly hand!

    But whose hand? The class was {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (puzzle) by the abstract drawing. “I think it must be the hand of God {#blank#}5{#/blank#} brings us food,” said one child, “a farmer,” said another, “because he feeds turkeys.” Finally, when the others were at work, the teacher {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (bend) over at Douglas' desk and asked whose hand it was. “It's your hand, Teacher,” he said in a low voice.

    She remembered that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (frequent) at break she had taken Douglas, a small lonely child, by {#blank#}8{#/blank#} hand. She often did that with the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (child). But it meant so much to Douglas. Perhaps this was everyone's Thanks-giving, not for the material things {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (give) to us but for the chance, in whatever small way, to give to others.

    Bank of China and Alibaba are the dream employers for Chinese students, according to a new survey.

    The survey of more than 55,000 students, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(conduct) by a research firm Universum, found that {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(rough)a quarter want to work for an international company, while only 9% want to work for a start-up. Five percent want to start {#blank#}3{#/blank#}own business.

    When it comes to desirable companies, business students{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(name)Bank of China the top choice for seven years, and it shows no signs of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(give)up its lead.

    William Wu, manager of Universum, said that banking remains{#blank#}6{#/blank#}attractive industry for young Chinese. “China's government is now emphasizing the revolution of finance industry, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}leaves the younger generation with the impression that though banking is a {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(tradition)industry, there are still a lot of development {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(opportunity),” Wu said.

    Alibaba improved six places from 2014, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(rank)second among business students. It held a record-breaking $25 billion IPO in September.

    Mr. Johnson lived in the woods with his wife and children. He owned {#blank#}1{#/blank#} farm, which looked almost abandoned.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (lucky), he also had a cow which produced milk every day. He sold or exchanged some of the milk in the towns nearby for other food and made cheese and butter for the family with what {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (leave). The cow was their only means of support, in fact. One day, the cow was eating grass {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it began to rain heavily. While {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (make) great efforts to run away, she fell over the hill and died. Then the Johnson tried to make a living {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the cow. In order to support his family, Mr.

    Johnson {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (begin) to plant herbs and vegetables. Since the plants took a while to grow, he started cutting down trees {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sell) the wood. Thinking about his children's clothes, he started growing cotton, too. When harvest came around, he was already selling herbs, vegetables and cotton in the market {#blank#}9{#/blank#} people from the town met regularly. Now it occurred to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (he) that his farm had much potential and that the death of the cow was a bit of luck.

Temperatures around the world are rising. Many places {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(experience) extreme weather events such as extreme heat since the start of the new century.

Scientists have shown all that is going to get even {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bad). They looked at cities in the north half of the planet. They {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (especial) paid attention to those in the US.

According {#blank#}4{#/blank#} simple geography, the cities near Canada have cool to mild weather. Those near Mexico {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) hotter and more humid(潮湿的). However, things are going to look and feel a lot different in 2080.

The scientists created a weather model {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (study) the weather changes in 2080. They considered two important points. One was the warming of the planet by 1.5℃ to 3℃ and{#blank#}7{#/blank#} other was the increasing greenhouse gas levels. Unluckily, what the scientists found was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (surprise)! The cities in the north turned into ones in the south— about 500 {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(mile) south. For example, Washington, DC felt like Greenwood, Mississippi，and Mississippi felt like Mexico.

That's bad news for people in the US, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} it's also bad for people everywhere because we're all in the same boat.
